In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, host Mike “C-Roc” sits down with high-performance coach and speaker James Silvas for a powerful conversation on unlocking human potential.
James shares how he helps individuals, teams, and organizations break past limitations by uncovering what they truly want—not just what society tells them to want. He opens up about his journey from bussing tables in Las Vegas to giving motivational talks that went viral, knocking on doors to pitch his services, and eventually building a thriving business that continues to impact leaders, athletes, and entrepreneurs worldwide.
Together, Mike "C-Roc" and James dive deep into the importance of alignment, the courage to turn down opportunities that don’t feel right, and the relentless pursuit of self-mastery as the foundation for helping others. They explore the idea of falling in love with the process, showing up even when it’s difficult, and embracing the “student mindset” to constantly grow. James reveals how love and energy drive everything he does, and why being a living demonstration is more powerful than any words you can speak.
This conversation is a blueprint for anyone who wants to push past their limits, lead with authenticity, and create lasting impact—starting with themselves

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.
