New episode releasing on Sunday, September 13, 2026, with Heather and Derek Freligh!

For a chance to win free merch, follow Heather Freligh on IG ( ), Quill Hawk Publishing, and Quixotic Heights Podcast, and tell us in the comments what you loved about the episode.

We'll select one winner at the end of September to receive a limited-edition lululemon 7HF sweatshirt, pin, and sticker from The Heather Freligh Heart Foundation.

At just 13 years old, Heather Freligh experienced sudden cardiac arrest. In a matter of moments, an ordinary day became a fight for her life—and for her dad, Derek, a parent’s unimaginable nightmare.

Today, through 7HF, Heather and Derek advocate for heart health, CPR awareness, AED readiness, and youth empowerment. Their work has reached schools, heart-health organizations, communities, and lawmakers, including advocacy surrounding California’s Heather Freligh Act.

Together, they’re developing My HeartLink by 7HF, while also working on the Heather’s Heart Treasures book series—finding new ways to educate, empower, and potentially save lives.

This conversation is about more than surviving cardiac arrest. It’s about what happens when the world keeps telling you “no,” and somewhere inside yourself, you find the courage to keep saying yes.

She has traveled to more than 40 countries and lived in three, building a global perspective on leadership, culture, identity, and community.

She is currently writing her first book, Beyond the Dream, which chronicles her journey from Baton Rouge to corporate America to building a startup in Vietnam, while exploring the beliefs we inherit about success, identity, ambition, and the American Dream, and what happens when we give ourselves permission to question them.

Join us this Sunday on the Quixotic Heights Podcast when we talk with Charlotte Chiew, an audiobook narrator with a special interest in figuring out audiobook sales and distribution strategies for indie authors.

An Asian American & British Southeast Asian voice, she’s bubbly, uplifting, and spunky - your favorite summer mocktail, with an unexpected ginger shot!�

Charlotte was born in Singapore, grew up all over the world, left her heart in Paris, and is finally finding her feet in London after almost 10 years. A professional film, TV & Stage actor with an IMDB page, her favourite stories to narrate are YA sweet romance with no spice! Close contenders are YA Fantasy, where characters grow while struggling through epic journeys, and Christian literature that fuels her heart for Jesus.

If you can’t find her in the recording booth, she’s probably pruning flowers somewhere in the garden, (artificially) bouldering (in a gym), or gone on a bike ride with her husband. Sometimes, she can be found in a corner competing with her teenagers at snarky comments and eye-rolling. (She often wins, but they tend to gang up and deny her that superiority.)

Our next guest on the Quixotic Heights Podcast is Debbie Bishop.

This episode airs Sunday, June 14, 2026, on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, and Audible.

Debbie Bishop is a creative director, author, founder, screenwriter, producer, podcast host, and visionary entrepreneur whose career spans more than three decades in Hollywood.

Debbie has helped shape campaigns for some of the world's biggest studios, including Disney, Warner Bros., Universal, Paramount, and Lionsgate. But after years of helping bring other people's stories to life, she realized she had stories of her own to tell.

That realization led to Black Tide, an unexpected creative leap that grew into a successful comic book series, followed by War Eagles, an alternate-history World War II adventure, and the epic fantasy duology Pillywiggin, with the highly anticipated second installment, Pillywiggin: Awakening, releasing June 26, 2026.

As if that weren't enough, Debbie hosts the By.Storytellers podcast and founded CreatorStage, an innovative platform designed to give every creative professional—from writers and artists to editors, designers, and production crews—a place to showcase their talents, build an audience, and thrive.

We'll also dive into her perspective on artificial intelligence and what creators need to know to succeed in the future of entertainment.

Sunday’s guest is a man who has lived at the intersection of faith, service, and storytelling. Keith Madsen Author is a semi-retired minister, an AmeriCorps worker, a mentor to young minds through chess, and an author whose work dares to confront life’s hardest realities while still holding onto hope.

From building schools in Haiti to educating communities about the opioid epidemic, Keith has seen firsthand the brokenness in the world—and yet, through his writing, he invites us to believe in something more. His stories don’t shy away from loss or suffering. Instead, they transform those moments into seeds of renewal, redemption, and resurrection.

With four published novels through Quill Hawk Publishing—The Sons and Daughters of Toussaint, Searching for Eden, The Bridles of Armageddon, and Fallen Angels—Keith challenges us to ask: What if the world can be better than it is? And what role do we play in that transformation?

This is a conversation about truth, faith, loss, and the quiet, powerful ways hope refuses to die.

Our next guest this Sunday, April 26, is Charlie Peters. He has lived a story shaped by discipline, disruption, and ultimately, deep healing.

Charlie was once an Olympic hopeful, a young man driven by purpose and promise—until his path was abruptly altered by the Vietnam War. Like so many who served, he returned home carrying invisible wounds, navigating the long and often lonely road of healing from PTSD. But Charlie’s story doesn’t end there—it evolves.

Through poetry, he found a voice for the pain that words alone couldn’t capture. His book, Returning Vet’s Saga: The Healing Power of Poetry, stands as a testament to resilience and the transformative power of creative expression.

And just when you think you understand the arc of his life, another chapter emerges. At age 50, Charlie discovered that the identity he had always known wasn’t the full truth. The name he carried, the family he believed was his own—none of it was what it seemed.

From a student who once struggled in school to a published author, from craftsman to creator, from searching to self-discovery—Charlie’s journey is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to reclaim your story.
