Heart Of It
Heart of It is a heart-focused conversation series born from Scott Bennett’s life-saving heart transplant in the spring of 2023. After surviving that experience, Scott was inspired to seek out meaningful conversations, moments he calls “heartbeat moments” that allow his new heart to shine a spotlight on extraordinary guests.
Each episode features people he knows well and others he’s meeting for the first time, diving into pop culture, sports, education, and mission-driven work. Together, they explore what inspires them, the impact of their journeys, and the experiences shaping their lives. Along the way, listeners also learn a little more about what makes Scott’s new heart beat...authenticity, curiosity, and deep gratitude at the center of every conversation.
The episodes will leave you smiling and sometimes crying. The conversations are real, the exchanges filled with connection, and the topics vary; you never know what you might learn, but one thing is certain: there is a whole lot of heart that drives this series.

Learning from Uber, the importance of mentorship, and paying the second tuition
In this episode, we invited SMU basketball standout Jarrey Foster to join the conversation.
We discuss how Jon and Jarrey developed a unique and trusted friendship. We dive into how and why Jon and Scott love to mentor people. Through the conversation we learn that mentors can play a pivotal role at any point and both parties in that relationship can find tremendous benefits.
Jarrey explains how he is navigating his transition from a man in sport to the next chapter. He calls out that he knows what is most critical is to keep moving forward. Sitting idle does not serve us well and Jarrey shares his advice to others as they navigate transition. The episode concludes with a very strong observation from Jon about the change in game speed at the different higher levels of basketball and makes a parallel to high functioners.
This is a great conversation that will inspire you to consider the role of mentorship in your own life and how it can add value.
