Broken Hearts, Organ Donors & College Coeds (Feat. Aolani Glover)

Episode 121: This week the show welcomes Aolani Glover to the program! I first met Aolani at Central Washington University back in 1997. As fellow residents within the same dorm, we would soon begin hanging out with our group of friends partaking in random activities such as ab workouts, dinner parties and drinks on the weekends.After graduating, Aolani took up a job working at Nike in Oregon.  She later began training to become a police officer in Washington when she suddenly suffered a serious health issue that nearly took her life. This tragic event eventually led to her receiving a heart transplant at the UW Medical Center in Seattle. Aolani joins the podcast to speak about her experience living as a transplant patient, and discuss the music that helped to inspire her journey along the way.0:00 - Cold Open / Intro (Lee Michaels)1:43 - Weather / School, Family & Church9:07 - CWU & The Dorms18:07 - The Dunhams / 8-Min Abs / Dining Hall23:12 - AM Geology Class 26:03 - Strong Personality / Adulting28:28 - College Major & Degree30:16 - Lee Olson / Passing Classes35:21 - Recruiting / Drinking / Red Robin39:43 - Job at Nike / Mother's Illness45:14 - WaMu / Married Life51:12 - Police Training / Waiting at Hospital 59:39 - Heart Tests / Coding / Harborview1:08:33 - Myspace Update / Hallucinations at UW1:11:00 - Device Options / Second Heart Failure1:16:27 - Transplant Waiting List / Utah Nurse1:24:43 - Heart Transplant Stats / Masks & Covid1:31:54 - Meeting Donor's Family1:42:52 - Lifespan Of Recipients / Aolani's PSA1:46:37 - Heart Attacks & Warning Signs1:51:37 - Surviving & Purpose1:58:15 - Organ Donations, Science & Technology2:02:09 - Inspirational Music / Songs About Hearts2:07:49 - E.T. & Pop Culture / Staying Positive2:11:03 - Outro / Close  AOLANI'S HEART LINKS* Life Center Northwesthttps://lcnw.org/* Organ Donation and Transplantation: How Does it Work?https://youtu.be/K4bS7YZjqhY* Sign Up to Save Lives: Be An Organ Donorhttps://www.donors1.org/learn-about-organ-donation/sign-up-to-save-lives/* How UNOS, OPOs and transplant programs work together to save liveshttps://unos.org/about/national-organ-transplant-system/MUSIC CLIPS* Roxette - Listen To Your Heart (Official Music Video)* Elton John, Kiki Dee - Don't Go Breaking My Heart (with Kiki Dee)* Stevie Nicks - Stop Draggin' My Heart Around (Official Video) [HD Remaster]* Bee Gees - How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, live 1975* Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart live at Jay Leno 1993* Neil Diamond - Heartlight (E.T. - Heartlight)* Deee-Lite - Groove is in the Heart (Live in Roskilde 1991)* Heart of Glass - Blondie | The Midnight Special* Bonnie Raitt - Just Like That (Official Lyric Video)🎵 MUSIC USED► Theme Song: Corbyn Kites - "Overdrive"--------------------------------☑️ SUBSCRIBE HERE ⇢ https://www.youtube.com/c/TheJoshandFriendsPodcast--------------------------------► APPLE iTUNES: https://rb.gy/b3bfht► SPOTIFY: https://rb.gy/jwhynd► STITCHER: https://rb.gy/su0smc► iHEART RADIO: https://rb.gy/uwfhih► TUNEIN: https://rb.gy/2p9o9f► PODCHASER: https://rb.gy/1r6im8► DEEZER: https://rb.gy/tbfjyw► LISTEN NOTES: https://rb.gy/o1fjj6--------------------------------★ FACEBOOK ⇢ https://www.facebook.com/TheJoshandFriendsPodcast/★ INSTAGRAM ⇢ https://www.instagram.com/TheJoshandFriendsPodcast★ TIKTOK ⇢ https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTdpLP5mT/--------------------------------🎥 GRAPHICS by Abstract Retro Sci-Fi Neon Free Video ⇢ https://www.vecteezy.com/video/1808032-abstract-retro-sci-fi-neo ☑️ SUBSCRIBE HERE ⇢ https://www.youtube.com/c/TheJoshandFriendsPodcast
