Get Inspired by Jane* “My idea was to differentiate. I was going to get into this business and raise the bar. I’m going to provide an entirely new level of services that people aren’t getting elsewhere.”
* “Underlying most people’s fascination with and desire to own their own business is a very emotional decision.”
* “The difference [of owning your own business]? You love it and it’s yours. It’s exciting. You’re building something and it’s important to you. It just feels different.”
* “Once you get up over 3 locations of a brand, that’s when the magic happens in terms of higher margins, you can manage your staffing more easily, you can move your inventory where it needs to be.”

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.
