Fire Forged Leader Podcast | Hosted by Steve Baumgartner with Guest Sean Corcoran @ www.MenForLife.org
🔥 Episode Summary:
What happens when a man hits rock bottom and chooses to rise?
In this episode of Fire Forged Leader, Steve sits down with Sean Corcoran, a former divorce attorney turned CEO of Men for Life—a nonprofit rewriting the conversation around abortion, manhood, and leadership.
Sean shares his gut-wrenching story of post-abortion grief, meth addiction, and a supernatural moment of redemption that brought him back to life and purpose. He unpacks the silence that haunts men after abortion, why biblical masculinity is the solution, and how his Men for Life curriculum is flipping the script for young fathers.

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.
