Systemize Your Success Podcast

Reclaim your time, reduce stress, and create more impact. For years, Dr. Steve Day was a slave to his businesses - working insane hours and living in constant stress and overwhelm. After suffering through burnout and depression, he realised that success doesn’t come from doing more; it comes from aligning your work with your ideal life and systemising the things that matter. That shift changed everything. By focusing on key systems, he transformed his business and lifestyle - emigrating to Sweden and living with more presence, purpose and impact. In Systemize Your Success, he shares the strategies that helped him step out of the grind so that you can do the same. This podcast is for small business owners who want to honour their authentic selves, create more space and freedom, and leverage their strengths for meaningful impact. You'll learn how to streamline operations, outsource effectively, manage a remote team, and set up systems that free you to focus on building a business you feel proud to talk about. If you’re ready to build a successful business and have the freedom to enjoy it- hit subscribe, and let's make it happen.

    Cardiac Cowboys

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
