What if every limitation holding you back was completely fabricated? In this episode, Daniel Schuler reveals how 7 years of coaching thousands of people taught him that we're only born with 2 fears—everything else is a lie we've learned to believe.
In this conversation with identity and emotional intelligence coach Daniel Schuler, you'll discover:
- Why we're born with only 2 fears and how 100% of your other limitations are fabricated stories
- The difference between who you ARE versus what you DO—and why most people build their identity on the wrong foundation
- How to use evidence-based thinking to shatter self-limiting beliefs that have no factual support
- The confession and repentance method for distinguishing between your voice and the voice of truth
- Why "fake it till you make it" affirmations keep you trapped in lies—and what to do instead
- The internal compass system: How to align your actions with that quiet voice inside
- The transformative question that breaks through any self-imposed limitation: "What's the biggest lie I believe about myself?"

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.
