What would you do if your best friend's parents gave you their son's remains and invested you with a quest? Would you take a leap into the unknown and go on a 10 month road trip through Latin America in search of the perfect wave? This is what my guest, Cory Belyea, did to honour his friend Mike.
In the process, Cory had some incredible adventures in his hand-me-down Nissan Pathfinder, with Mike's benevolent spirit shining on him at all times. In this episode, Cory tells us all about his adventure, the kind of person Mike was and the outcome : dozens of priceless friendships, setting up a language school in Panama, and a wonderful surf story that he published after his travels: The Pathfinder Diaries, Tales Sculpted by the Sea
This is an episode about friendship, taking risks and embracing the unknown. I'm sure you will be fascinated by Cory's story and inspired to pick up a copy of his book, The Pathfinders Diaries: Tales Sculpted by The Sea.
There's a great deal of humanity in this episode, and at this time, the world needs more adventurous surf stories like his.

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.
