In part 2 of our series 'Pursuing Purpose', we welcome Dr. Tammy McCotter and Dr. LaNysha Adams to our table, where we unwrap the complexities of living with a clear purpose. We delved into Dr. McCotter's remarkable journey through nearly three decades in law enforcement, a path lit by her unwavering passion for humanity. Meanwhile, Dr. Adams narrated her experience of interweaving her roles as a mother, wife, and daughter with her cultural roots, offering us a vivid picture of how our actions can both stem from and shape our identity.
Life's patterns and choices frequently mirror the deeper currents of our purpose, even when they're not explicitly acknowledged. Our conversation took a turn towards self-empowerment that encourages us to harness the stillness of life's crossroads to reassess our direction. Dr. McCotter, supplementing this perspective with her own experience, advocated for practical tools like affirmations to steer through life's uncertainty. Together, we painted a landscape illustrating how the quest for purpose is a voyage on which we're all embarked — a route punctuated by reflection, discovery, and, sometimes, redirection.
Wrapping up, we tackled the oft-unspoken struggle of feeling inadequate in a world saturated by endless streams of online perfection. Sharing personal stories, from novel holiday celebrations to deeper journeys of self-discovery, we chiseled out the idea that purpose isn't self-serving; it's about uplifting others. Dr. McCotter and Dr. Adams, through their wisdom and experiences, reminded us that every step taken authentically shapes not just our own lives but also the larger tapestry of the world we inhabit. So, as you set out to forge your path, remember that it's the genuine pursuit of purpose that will create a life resonant with meaning and impact.

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.
