Creating Memorable Family Moments: Insights and Strategies

In this episode of the Strong Family Project podcast, hosts Joe and Mel dive into the concept of creating memorable moments within the family, drawing inspiration from the works of Chip and Dan Heath. They explore the idea that while we often attribute the most memorable events in our lives to chance, there's actually a formula that can help us create powerful memories with our families intentionally. They share personal stories and examples to illustrate the four key elements that define memorable moments: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. Moreover, the conversation covers strategies for turning both high points and pits into meaningful family experiences, with an emphasis on planning and aligning these moments with family core values. This episode is a guide for parents on how to craft impactful memories that slow down the perception of time and enrich family life.

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.
