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.

On this episode of the podcast, I sit down with my longtime friend Ivan Zweig and we cover everything from cleats to custom boots. We talk about the work ethic that drove him to become an exceptional baseball player, the discipline it takes to compete at a high level, and how those lessons didn’t stay on the field. Ivan shares how the habits that made him successful in baseball, consistency, resilience, and a refusal to blame the umpire, translated directly into his professional career.
We also dive into his most important role, being a proud girl dad, which may be the toughest and most rewarding team he’s ever led. Then there is his newest venture, The Boot Builder, where he creates custom wearable art for your feet. Yes, art you can walk in. It’s a conversation about friendship, grit, reinvention and why hustle never goes out of style.
