In this episode of The Heart Helper Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Marcus “Writazblok” Henderson—Billboard-charting producer, multi-instrumentalist, and founder of The Music Industry Academy.
We discuss his journey into the music industry, how he protects his light in spaces that often feel dark, and what it means to carry God with you wherever you go. Marcus offers a profound perspective on how God created the world for us to enjoy, but created us for Him to enjoy.
This conversation is more than music—it’s a testimony. From humble beginnings to fulfilling a divine assignment, Marcus shares insight for anyone navigating their calling, encouraging listeners to stop sleeping on their dreams and start living in them.
Key Topics:
- Marcus’s start in the music industry and the power of preparation
- Staying rooted in faith in a high-pressure entertainment space
- Carrying the presence of God in every environment
- Living out the fruits of the Spirit in a competitive industry
- How The Music Industry Academy is cultivating the next generation
- The spiritual connection between purpose, creativity, and identity
- What it means to walk in calling rather than chase platforms
- A message for dreamers afraid to start

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.
