In this episode, financial advisors Jim Martin & Casey Bibb tackle the pervasive myth that you need a million dollars to retire comfortably. We discuss a USA Today article that lists the states where you supposedly need a million dollars to retire, and our special guest Casey Bibb shares insights on why this figure might not apply to everyone. We highlight how individual factors such as lifestyle, debt, and personal goals play a crucial role in retirement planning, making a one-size-fits-all number unrealistic. We also talk about the importance of having a custom financial plan, understanding your true income needs, and the value of leveraging your retirement funds for a fulfilling life. Tune in for practical advice on financial planning, debunking common retirement myths, and discovering personalized strategies for a successful retirement journey.

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.
