The Power of “I Hear You” with Drew Merit
Andrew (Drew) Merit is a lot of things! He is a therapist, executive director, improviser, illustrator, musican, coach and graphic facilitator. He is currently completing his MA and he is an intern therapist at the Community Institute for Psychotherapy in San Rafael and he is the executive director if Improv Marin, where he teaches and performs improv and has developed specialized programs that bring improv to seniors and to mental health and rehabilitation treatment centres. Drew coaches improv with a tools based, rather than a rules based approach, which Sarah finds SO COOL!! We have a great chat about how these two seemingly different worlds collide and also how sometimes they don’t. I loved this chat with Drew!!

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.
