Major surgery is hard enough if you only have to do it once. In this episode, August and Ryan share stories of good deeds and kindness, and what motivated them to become—and continue to be—kind to the people around them. August rehashes childhood memories of his mother’s sticker system for teaching kindness, and how it instilled in him the value of doing good things for others early on—even something as small as picking up stray garbage in the street. Our esteemed guest is motivational speaker and two-time double lung transplant recipient Hélène Campbell. She talks about her “lung story” and the individuals and communities that helped her through her journey. She also touches on the importance of positivity and how she has turned her story into a career traveling the world advocating for organ donation. This episode’s Word Cocktail delves into what it means to be tenacious. Fact or False tests our guest’s knowledge of some of the last century’s most important philanthropists and how they strove to help the people around them. From well-practiced one-liners, to navigating the healthcare system, to the satisfaction of doing good things for others, this episode of Cavalier Conversations is a lung story.
