In this episode of the Why Matters podcast, hosts Jessica and Will welcome their son Largo, also known as Captain Sueiro, to discuss their extensive six-month hike on the Appalachian Trail. They delve into their experiences, from the reasons for undertaking the hike to the unique dynamics of hiking together as mother and son. The episode touches on schooling on the trail, the challenges and joys of daily vlogging while hiking, the impact of this journey on their perspectives, and dealing with the physical and mental trials along the trail. They also share some fun insights into trail culture and gear preferences, explore the concept of trail names and trail family, and offer reflections on life post-hike and its implications.
Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle. Each week, we'll delve deep into the 'why' behind the choices we humans make in life and the positive results that stem from a strong sense of purpose.

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.
