Becoming Heart Strong isn’t about what you’ve built or what broke you—it’s about who you’ve become. Hosted by Jess Lindberg, this podcast invites leaders, founders, and everyday changemakers into honest conversations about the challenges that shape us—and the strength we forge through them. These aren’t surface-level interviews. They’re vulnerable, grounded, and real. We talk about the losses, pivots, breakthroughs, and decisions that transformed not just someone’s path, but their character and lives. Because it’s not what happened to you or what you’ve accomplished that defines you—it’s who you choose to become, and what you create from the hard things. Every episode goes beyond the story to offer tools, strategies, and insights—especially from experts—to help you grow stronger in your own life. You’ll leave with not just inspiration, but practical ways to take your next step. If you’re ready to grow through what you go through, lead with heart, and live with deeper courage, this show is for you.

Today’s podcast is with Ryan Scoble. Ryan is an elite Division II Lacrosse Player at Mercyhurst College who discovered just over two years ago that he needed a heart transplant to save his life. Ryan shares his journey from near death to a thriving life with his new heart, his gift of life. Ryan’s inspiring story teaches us about the gift of each moment of our lives and how the process of facing our challenges creates purpose, perseverance, and success in our lives.
This incredible story will inspire you and remind you of the gift of your own life. Ryan is a huge proponent of living actively post-transplant and of not just surviving but thriving! He’s one of just a couple of college athletes to return to the game and compete at a high level post-transplant.
This is a masterclass in what it means to be Heart Strong. To grow through our challenges and to see our lives and all we experience on this earth as gifts to be embraced.
