What happens when your guest cancels and your co-hosts go completely off-script? You get one of the most raw, hilarious, and unexpectedly powerful episodes of The MCP Project yet.
Marisa Padilla is joined by her partner Josh Holder and Producer WIGNZ for a no-holds-barred conversation about goals, discipline, mental toughness, and the 75 Hard challenge—and yes, there are plenty of laughs (and bloopers) along the way.
From botched intros and behind-the-scenes chaos to deep insights on self-accountability, habit-building, and staying consistent even when no one’s watching—this episode is part motivation, part comedy, and fully real.
💥 Topics covered:
75 Hard breakdown (and who’s already failed 😂)
The myth of "starting tomorrow"
Why most people lie to themselves
How goals are tied to purpose
Holding yourself accountable when no one’s clapping
Mental toughness, hydration struggles, and how to “suck less”
What it really takes to win in life
This episode is totally unfiltered—and that’s exactly the point.

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.
