In this episode, I delve into the realm of secured credit cards. They serve as a viable alternative for individuals grappling with poor credit or lacking a credit history, often facing hurdles in securing approval for traditional credit cards. The distinguishing feature of these cards lies in their requirement of a cash deposit, offering reassurance to the card issuer in the event of non-payment by the cardholder.
Typically, most secured cards mandate a deposit ranging from $200 to $300, although exceptions exist, including one card with a lower deposit option. While every secured card permits deposits exceeding the minimum threshold, many impose a cap on the maximum deposit amount.
Tune in to this podcast episode for an insightful exploration of secured credit cards and their role in kickstarting and rejuvenating your credit 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.
