In the seventh part of the new segment of Starting Overdrive called Turning Points, which explores life-defining events of irreversible change, creator and host, Reg Seeton, tells the story of how he discovered his true purpose in life after starting over on the west coast, being lost, and having his life on pause for so many years on the east coast.

After getting hit by a car in 1985, waking up from a coma, a five-year recovery, starting over, and moving across Canada into the unknown, Reg found himself lost all over again in a new home struggling to find his true purpose.

In this episode, Reg recalls how he woke up one day in 1995 and made the pivotal decision to take control of his professional life and work to make his dreams come true.

In Turning Points: Part 7, Reg explores the many reasons why he was lost and searching for a greater purpose in life after years of overcoming family dysfunction, the loss of his family unit, the demise of his parents' relationship as a young teen, getting hit by a car, waking up from a coma, years of surgeries, and unresolved trauma.

In this episode, Reg shares exactly how he started over again and found his true purpose in life, a fulfilling long-term career, and how the discovery of his purpose was the very beginning of a 20-year career that saw Reg become an early pioneer in one of the most popular online industries.

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.
