In this episode, ESF Co-Founder Michael Rouse and Dr. Muniya Khanna sit down with Lee Brower — speaker, author, entrepreneur, and family legacy expert known for his role in The Secret — to explore how gratitude shapes families, businesses, and generations. Lee shares the origins of the gratitude rock tradition now woven into ESF camp traditions, and opens up about his son Nick's battle with cancer and the family rituals that carried them through it. Dr. Khanna adds a psychologist's take on why routines matter and how gratitude and grief can coexist. It's a moving reminder that gratitude isn't something that just happens, it's something you practice, especially when life gets hard.

When Sarah Stuebe's son Oscar collapsed during a baseball game, she did what no parent ever imagines having to do, she performed CPR on her own child.

In this episode, Sarah shares her powerful story of the day everything changed, and what she's done since to make sure other families are prepared. Joining the conversation is Karen McCandless, CRNP, a cardiac nurse practitioner at Nemours Children's Health, who breaks down commotio cordis, how to recognize cardiac arrest in a child, and why every parent and coach should know CPR.

Together, they offer a message that is equal parts urgent and reassuring: awareness saves lives, and it starts with you.
