Most people want to lead. Few are willing to go through what leadership truly demands. This episode lays down the truth: growth doesn't happen in comfort. It happens when you lean into discomfort, own your shortcomings, and take the reps that reshape who you are. Real leadership isn’t about feeling ready. It’s about showing up even when you’re not.
Get ready to hear how elite leaders become who they are—through accountability, emotional grit, and relentless repetition. It’s not motivation—it’s transformation.
From facing hard conversations to rewiring the habits that hold you back, this episode breaks down what it means to embrace the suck—and why that’s the gateway to everything you’re after.

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.
