ABOUT THE GUEST: Dr. Carson is a 2008 Presidential Medal of Freedom honorees, an 8-time best-selling author, conducted the first separation of conjoined twins as the world's top pediatric neurosurgeon, ran for President of the United States, holds 60 honorary doctorates, and was portrayed in his biopic movie (Gifted Hands) by Cuba Gooding, Jr.
Dr. Carson often referred to as the most admired and most brilliant man alive, joins Rick for the Season 1 Finale Episode to discuss his philosophies around failure, success, generosity, faith, and his life-long focus on service through improving education of America's children. This wide-ranging conversation dives deep into likely the most brilliant mind by exploring the topics of Critical Race Theory, limited government, the human brain, education reform, the purpose of one's life, finding purpose through failure, and his newly-launched American Cornerstone Institute.
In 1987, Carson was the lead neurosurgeon of a 70-member surgical team that separated conjoined twins Patrick and Benjamin Binder, who had been joined at the back of the head (craniopagus twins). The separation surgery held promise in part because the twin boys had separate brains.
