Danika O’Leary’s good intentions and actions have been making a noticeable impact in her community. Her Haircuts for the Homeless program started as a simple act of kindness and has become regular acts of kindness each every other month. She begins by creating outdoor styling stations in a park in Santa Rosa, CA in Northern California, and with the help of local businesses and volunteers, she provides haircuts, food, clothing and personal hygiene products for the homeless thought the area. The event has even helped with people with resumes and job opportunities. She mentioned though, as the size of the events swell, challenges emerge with the required permits, administrative duties, and the cost of necessary equipment. Danika wants to share stories and styles with those who need it most - and make sure the people that are in need are able to feel good about themselves, even from just a small thing like a haircut. Listen in to find out how Danika is making her passion come to life, and how you can get involved, in her community, or yours.

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.
