4:17 I'm going to introduce our topic today of human trafficking with an expert in the field and a current active champion in the field of human trafficking.
6:05 I went back to the teams where I was part of a unit specialized in targeting and operations and Intelligence Fusion. And really what we're doing was focusing on violent extremist networks, and really trying to take a network approach as opposed to playing whack a mole, which, up to that point, you know, the military is very good, you kill one bomb maker, and the next one builds plays.
10:58 Traffickers only look at their victims as commodities, they are not viewed as humans, they are not viewed as viable beings with a life of soul or anything else, they are simply a can of soup.
16:21 And it's something that I think is alarming for a lot of people because you never see it. You never touch it, you never feel it. You never actually see it. And if you see it, you don't know what you're even looking at.
44:06 That's a really really important point that goes to Stephen Covey's circles of influence in circles of concern today most people on social are focused on their in their circle of concern, like Oh, I'm really interested in this topic and they waste their time learning about stuff they literally can have no effect on
46:11 hey, that little piece, right? You make it better. And frankly, that's the that should be the goal, to leave things a little bit better than the way you found it.

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.
