QUOTES

  • "You know what's cool is people could use that same mindset in anything. Like you don't have to have your back against the wall. You don't have to lose everything that you own to have that mindset. As a matter of fact, it's probably less painful if you would just take that mindset on now. Like ‘I'm going to succeed no matter what it takes.’ And that one mindset man will totally transform your and your family's life.” - Ron Sell
  • “I think it's all about creating community. Often as martial artists, we focus on position of the hands, position of the thumbs, position of the pinkies. And sometimes we forget for the martial art to think that we're working with human beings, we're working with people.” - Adam Spicar
  • “I couldn't be more proud of, you know, what our program does. And you are 100% sure we are changing lives. It's amazing. You know, we get up in the morning and we go change somebody's lives. We empower them. It's great." - Adam Spicar
  • "KPIs are key performance indicators. They are numbers that you look at because if you look at the numbers of your business, you can see, you can spot weaknesses. I don't know about you, but I love weaknesses because then I know I can make them stronger, right?" - Ron Sell

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.
