In this episode of We Do Recover with Jared Miller, host Jared and guest Keith Hansen tee things off with some light-hearted banter about their golf game—because nothing displays connection quite like friendly competition on the golf course. But the laughs soon give way to a powerful and inspiring story as Keith opens up about his battle with addiction to alcohol and opioids, which began in high school following a series of surgeries.
Keith shares how, even after becoming a licensed nurse, his addiction escalated—fueled by easy access to medications while working in home healthcare. In a courageous move, he voluntarily surrendered his nursing license and committed to getting clean in 2023. Now walking the path of recovery, Keith brings raw honesty, deep insight, and golden nuggets of wisdom that anyone—whether in recovery or supporting someone who is—can benefit from.

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.
