Hey all — this episode has been a long time coming. I’ve been wanting to shine a light on Muslim women entrepreneurs for a while now, and this conversation is exactly that. It’s all about support, storytelling, and showing up for the women building incredible things.
Back in March (yes, March — life’s been lifing, y’all), I recorded a conversation with the amazing Sara Ahmad. She’s a powerhouse — a serial entrepreneur who’s doing the most in the best way. We talked about her digital marketing agency Ekko Media, the heart-centered women’s space she founded called Ummati Community, and her upcoming venture, a food-focused social media app called Bite Reel.
Sara’s building with purpose, and I know so many of you will resonate with her vision as I have.

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.
