The Uncomfortable Truth About Purpose and Perseverance
In this powerful episode, Brady Murray sits down with Cathy Daub—a mother of eight, fierce advocate, and co-founder of Team Iron Will—to challenge society’s perception of value and purpose. Cathy shares the raw, unfiltered story of her son Will’s birth, a journey marked by both medical challenges and undeniable miracles. She refuses to see Down syndrome as a limitation, instead embracing it as a divine calling to disrupt the status quo.
This conversation forces us to ask: Do we truly believe that every life has value, or only the ones that fit our expectations? Cathy’s unwavering faith and relentless advocacy push back against a world that often measures worth in terms of productivity rather than purpose. Her story is a call to action—one that demands we rethink how we support, uplift, and fight for individuals with disabilities.

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.
