Fall is finally upon us in Salt Lake City, bringing cooler temperatures, hoodie weather, and a fresh lineup of exciting events and conversations.
First, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our live episode featuring Shereen Ghorbani. Your presence and questions made the event special, and your feedback will shape our future live recordings. Speaking of upcoming events, I'm thrilled to announce that Swimming Paul will be performing at Sky SLC this Friday! I discovered this incredible DJ whose sound reminds me of Fred Again, and I've arranged a special 10% discount for all my listeners through the link in our show notes.
Our most recent episode with Scott Haslam is a must-listen for anyone interested in entrepreneurship and community building. Scott's creation of Ranger Sound Car has brought hundreds of people together, earning him my nickname as "a modern-day Great Gatsby." Bookish fans should stay alert for our next event announcement – the wonderful women of Bookish and I are planning something special at Mountain West Cidery that you won't want to miss.
Mark your calendars for Red West Country Music Festival featuring Post Malone, Noah Kahn, and Kacey Musgraves! Even if country music isn't typically your jam, there's something magical about putting on boots and a hat to enjoy music amid the crisp fall leaves. But I'm perhaps most excited about our upcoming episode with James Atkin, VP of Marketing at Nomadic – a Utah-based company creating some of the world's best bags and luggage. James's journey from St. George to professional skateboarding alongside legends like Jamie Thomas and Bob Burnquist before transitioning to marketing is absolutely fascinating. It might be my favorite episode we've ever recorded.

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.
