In order to solve the world's stickiest problems, we have to change the way we listen at the interpersonal level – starting with those closest to us.
Maybe for you, that's family. And Dr. Jeff is exactly that. He's my oldest brother, a prolific author, deeply respected speaker and leader, and a recent cancer survivor.
Though our worldviews are often opposing, what we share is important – VALUES. So I pressed record on one of our conversations in hopes of sharing how we have learned to challenge each other, how to stay curious, five conversation-altering words you can use, and how arguments often lead to agreement.
I hope this chat inspires you to reconnect or reengage with someone you love. Because cancel culture may not be the answer – especially with those we hold dear.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
