‘Do what makes you happy – possibility or pipe dream?’ We investigate the elusive reality of combining work and leisure interests into a single meaningful approach to life through the life story of social entrepreneur, writer and lecturer Roger Griffith MBE. As a black British man Roger shares his extraordinary story from dropping out of school in Bristol, establishing a successful, traditional career before embarking on a different approach combining his passions, interests and talents into a portfolio of activity that could also be called ‘work’. We discover what it takes to try this approach and how the risks compare to the rewards! You can read more about Roger, his unusual career and inspiring writings here: www.rogergriffith.co.uk/

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.
