They dive into the challenges of navigating family business, the power of knowing when to make a career change for yourself, and the importance of making every business and community member feel like they truly matter.

========= "Don’t ever think that any idea is too crazy. If somebody comes to you and says I got this really weird idea, what do you think about it? Don’t slow them down. Take a positive step for it, even get involved in it." - Betsy Andrus
Key Beans:
- Don’t be afraid to pivot in your career. If what you are doing isn’t fulfilling you, make a change.
- Be sure of yourself. Confidence is the key to successful communication.
- People-first leadership is the foundation of success. Communities thrive when people feel seen, heard, and valued.

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.
