In this first episode of The Wild Journey, host Farkhunda Muhtaj welcomes Calgary Wild FC’s goalkeeper Sarah Keilty-Dilling, defender Grace Stordy, and Founder + Chair Deanna Zumwalt for a dynamic conversation about sport, leadership, and community.
You’ll hear raw and real stories from the field—and beyond. Sarah shares how she transitioned from teaching to professional football. Grace talks about what it means to play with resilience and represent her hometown. And Deanna offers an inspiring look at building a pro women’s football team from the ground up.
This episode is for anyone who believes sport is about more than the scoreboard. It’s about purpose, people, and powerfully showing up—even when no one’s watching.
Whether you're a young athlete, a leader in business, or a fan of women’s sports, this episode will ignite your belief in what’s possible when community comes first.

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.
