Breaking Barriers: The Unstoppable Journey of Caleb Prewitt
In this electrifying episode, Brady Murray sits down with Karen Prewitt, the fierce and determined momager behind Caleb Prewitt, a trailblazing athlete and entrepreneur who just happens to have Down syndrome. Karen shares the raw, unfiltered truth about raising a child society often underestimates—challenging outdated mindsets and proving that limitations exist only where we allow them.
Caleb has shattered expectations, from becoming the youngest person with Down syndrome to complete a half marathon to launching his own business, Caleb’s Cookies. But their story isn’t just about personal victories—it’s about rewriting the narrative for individuals with disabilities. Karen unapologetically calls out the lack of opportunities and systemic barriers, advocating for a world where people with disabilities are seen as capable, ambitious, and worthy of the same dreams as anyone else.
The conversation dives deep into the importance of community support, the power of mentorship, and the bold belief that no one—not doctors, not schools, not even well-meaning parents—should dictate the limits of a child’s potential. As Caleb transitions into adulthood, Karen envisions a future filled with independence, adventure, and possibilities that defy every outdated stereotype.
This episode will challenge you to rethink what you believe about ability, ambition, and what it truly means to live without limits.

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.
