On this episode of The Caffaro Way, Johnny sits down with Dr. Brian Cohen, an orthopedic surgeon whose story is about far more than medicine. From rollerblading down Fifth Avenue to building a thriving orthopedic practice in small-town Ohio, Brian’s journey is one of resilience, heartbreak, and reinvention.

Together, Johnny and Brian open up about betrayal, loss, and the pain of being cut down professionally and personally, and what it takes to rise again without bitterness. They dive into fatherhood, the weight of community, and why true healing requires forgiveness, presence, and integrity.

This is more than a conversation about surgery. It’s about life, legacy, and learning how to keep showing up when the world tries to take you down.

Reflection prompts close the episode, inviting you to look at your own story:

• Where are you showing up on autopilot?
• What pain might be guiding you rather than punishing you?
• Whose definition of success are you chasing — and is it really yours?
