What happens when you stop following someone else's roadmap and start creating a life that aligns with your deepest values? This week, the magnetic Emily Elias joins us for a soul-stirring conversation about finding your path, creating boundaries between work and home, and stepping into authentic leadership.

When COVID forced a pivot in Emily and her husband Alejandro's plans, they didn't panic—they paused to ask deeper questions about what truly mattered to them.

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Her inspiring vision to build 300 clinics—a legacy that might extend beyond her lifetime
  • How Emily discerns between friction that signals growth versus discomfort that signals misalignment
  • The profound truth about delegating: "Just because you can do it all doesn't mean you should"
  • Why Emily believes balance is an absolute myth, and the two non-negotiables she focuses on instead
  • How stepping into motherhood helped Emily reclaim her identity beyond business partnerships
  • Embracing a vision larger than yourself while staying grounded in day-to-day purpose

Emily's life in Abilene, Texas—a place with tumbleweeds and barrel racing—wasn't the mountain paradise she initially envisioned, but it became the perfect foundation for her family and practice.

This conversation is a masterclass in discernment, offering practical wisdom for entrepreneurs navigating the complex dance between ambition and wholeness.

This isn't just another conversation about practice building—it's permission to design a life that honors all aspects of who you are.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
