9. The Heart of the Mothership

It takes much more than two captains to fly a ship in outer space. One of the most lovable and irreplaceable members of our crew, Cris, joins us on a heart-wrenching flight to share his incredible story. A two time heart transplant patient, he is truly one-of-a-kind. On the first day of 10th grade, Cris' life would change forever. Cris lovingly guides us through his journey to his first (and later, second) heart transplant, the attempted burglary that almost scared him to death (literally), the indispensable support of his family, how he manifested Taylor Swift, and the harsh reality of life after transplant. We couldn't be prouder to share this one with you.
