In this episode, I open up about the foundational spiritual and money work I’ve done with Wisdom & Money. You'll also hear about the spiritual practices that helped me embrace both the structured and the intuitive sides of my financial work. From silent retreats to shadow play, and from difficult career decisions to joining a nonprofit board, this episode brings together the playful, the profound, and the practical. I reflect on what it means to bring our full selves—including our quirks and contradictions—to conversations about money. My hope is that my story helps others feel less alone in their questions about wealth, values, and the kind of world we want to build.

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.
