In this clip from a longer 'Perfectly Mentored' episode where Jason chats with friend and fellow entrepreneur Taylor Welch, the discussion centers around the importance of personal certainty and choosing the right goals in life and business. The conversation delves into the pitfalls of striving for success in endeavors dictated by others rather than one's own passions, highlighting the potential harm in winning the wrong races. The speaker emphasizes resilience and perseverance as crucial traits for achieving certainty, drawing distinctions between these qualities and tenacity. Listeners are encouraged to build a "repository of experiences" by setting personal goals and persistently working towards them without quitting, fostering a sense of certainty and self-assurance. The episode also tackles the concept of strategically quitting, distinguishing between giving up due to resistance and choosing to stop efforts that no longer align with deeper personal values or goals.

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.
