What happens when you realize the "safe" path isn't actually serving your soul? Kevin Green knows this tension intimately. From corporate chef to high school educator to personal chef turned professional speaker, Kevin's journey is a masterclass in listening to that inner voice that says "you're made for more" - even when it means walking away from security.
This conversation shares about the courage it takes to step into your authentic voice after years of playing small. Kevin shares the pivotal moments that forced him to confront his own limiting beliefs, the toxic business partnership that became his greatest teacher, and why he spent years "in the closet" - afraid to share his opinion or claim his seat at the table.
🔥 In This Episode:
- Kevin's "Three P's" framework: Purpose, Passion, and Potential as the foundation for creating a life you love
- The difference between living with closed fist control versus open-handed trust
- How a toxic business partnership and unexpected divorce became his greatest teachers about boundaries and self-worth
- Why perfectionism and the need for certainty kept him playing small for years
- The art of taking "responsible risks" while building something meaningful
The Heart Work Moment: Kevin's revelation that "questions cause anxiety, but periods produce power" - and what it means to live from a place of security rather than scrambling for certainty.
This episode reminds us that your story - even the messy, imperfect, still-being-written parts - is exactly what someone else needs to hear. Sometimes the greatest risk isn't jumping into the unknown; it's staying silent when you have something important to say.

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.
