What inspires someone to dedicate their life to caring for the hearts of others?

On this week's episode of Gaston's Great, we're honored to sit down with Dr. Dustin Letts, a cardiologist with CaroMont Health, for a heartfelt conversation about purpose, compassion, and the experiences that shaped his journey into medicine.

Rather than focusing solely on cardiology, Dr. Letts opens up about the people and moments that led him to pursue this calling. He shares his "why"—the personal passion that continues to inspire him to care for patients with empathy, kindness, and excellence every day.

This conversation is a reminder that behind every physician is a person with a story, a purpose, and a genuine desire to make a difference. Dr. Letts' humility, authenticity, and love for serving others shine throughout the episode, making it one of those conversations that stays with you long after it ends.

As a new school year approaches, one local event is making sure students and families have the support they need to start with confidence.

This week on Gaston's Great, we're joined by Pastor Joe Bell, Sarah Miller, and Bree Thurman Wilson to talk about Ready, Set, Grow, an incredible back-to-school event hosted by the Gaston County Early Literacy Collaborative and CaroMount Health that brings churches, organizations, businesses, and volunteers together to serve families across our community.

From free school supplies and backpacks to shoes, clothing, haircuts, community resources, and so much more, Ready, Set, Grow is about more than preparing kids for the classroom, it's about reminding every child that they are valued, supported, and loved. ❤️

🎒 The story behind Ready, Set, Grow
📚 How the event impacts local students and families
