In this episode, we delve into the profound influence that belief can make in our story when we’re walking through a pivotal time marked by questions of purpose, existential reflections, and the search for deeper connections. This journey began for me with a simple yet profound question during a moment of solitude: "Does my life matter?"
As we explore the emotional landscape of seeking meaning, I recount a powerful season with a friend that reshaped my perspective and redefined my path. Listen as I share this weighty conversation with a friend struggling with self-doubt and overextension, both professionally and personally. This discussion, initially centered around practical matters of business, but quickly transcended into a life-changing dialogue about the expansiveness of divine goodness and the potential for personal and communal growth.
Witness the unfolding of belief, not just as a concept, but as a tangible force that brings about transformation and renewal. This episode not only highlights a personal story of change and growth but also illustrates the impact of our beliefs on those around us. Through time spent together, simple texts, and phone calls—those quiet, simple exchanges—we see how belief is built and shared, fostering a supportive community that extends beyond individual struggles.
Join me as we reflect on the sacred journey we undertake together, inspired by the belief in ourselves and each other, and the collective pursuit of this greater purpose – building belief together. This episode is a testament to the power of connection and the transformative impact of acknowledging and nurturing the light within us all.

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.
