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.

EP 15: 🎙️ Classmates, School Boards & Slam Dunks with Megan Timme
In this episode of From the Playground to the Foreground, Jon Altschuler and Scott Bennett are joined by former classmate and current Richardson ISD school board member Megan Timme—and it’s a reunion packed with laughs, memories, and meaningful conversation.
They swap stories from their own school days, shout out favorite teachers, and talk about why top teacher pay is more important than ever—especially as Jon campaigns for the HPISD board.
It’s also Day 711 since Scott’s heart transplant, and of course he brings a “prop” to commemorate the milestone (because of course he does).
Plus, Megan shares proud mom moments from watching her son Drew Timme rise through college hoops and into the NBA—yes, that Drew Timme.
Heartfelt, hilarious, and a little nostalgic—this one’s got it all.
