Chasing an Impossible Dream | Dr. Eiman Jahangir

Season 1 · Episode 2

Tuesday, May 12, 2026 • Duration 35:11

In today's episode of A Heart for Space, Dr. Eiman Jahangir is joined by his sister-in-law Leah Solivan as they engage in a deeply personal conversation about the experiences, relationships, and ambitions that have shaped Eiman's extraordinary journey.

Moving beyond headlines and accomplishments, Eiman reflects on his upbringing as the child of immigrants and the early influences that drew him toward medicine, as well as his lifelong fascination with space that continued to pull at him even while building a demanding career in cardiology.

The conversation explores the realities of life as a physician—from the emotional weight of patient care and the growing pressures contributing to burnout, to the deeply human moments that continue to make the work meaningful.

Leah and Eiman then dive into the perseverance required to pursue a dream with no guaranteed path forward. After more than twenty years of trying to reach space, Eiman reflects on the emotional experience of finally launching aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard with his family watching nearby—a moment that represented not only the significance of the achievement, but the years of persistence, uncertainty, and unwavering belief that made it possible.

A Heart for Space: the Origin Story

Season 1 · Episode 1

Tuesday, April 28, 2026 • Duration 11:09

In this debut episode of A Heart for Space, Dr. Eiman Jahangir introduces the story behind his book and subsequent podcast—and the journey that led him here.

A cardiologist by profession and the 704th individual to travel to space, Dr. Jahangir has spent his life navigating two very different paths: one defined by structure, the other by uncertainty. In this opening conversation, he reflects on what it meant to pursue a lifelong dream without a clear roadmap, and the resilience required to keep moving forward in the face of setbacks, near-misses, and self-doubt.

Dr. Jahangir also shares the pivotal moments that shaped the trajectory of his life—from his family’s immigration journey during the Iran-Iraq War to the experiences that followed his spaceflight, where conversations with audiences around the world revealed a common thread: many people are quietly pursuing ambitious goals of their own. This realization became the foundation for A Heart for Space, and the resulting exploration of the stories and mindsets of those who have pushed beyond conventional limits.

This episode is both an introduction and an invitation into a series of conversations about perseverance and courage, revealing what it truly takes to pursue something extraordinary.
