What can reality TV teach us about money? Turns out… a lot. We’re using Secret Lives of Mormon Wives as a jumping-off point to talk about how influencers get paid, why 1099 income is so unpredictable, and what it takes to manage money when your paychecks don’t look the same every month. If you’re a high-income professional with fluctuating bonuses, freelancing on the side, or just curious how people survive when their income is all over the place, we’ve got you covered.
We’re talking budgeting strategies, emergency funds, negotiating your worth, and even how money dynamics play out in relationships (spoiler: it gets messy). Tune in for the financial lessons hiding between the scandals and soda shops.
Key moments:
(07:34) The size of your emergency fund depends on the variability of your income
(20:11) Why your “wildly fluctuating income” might not be as unpredictable as you think
(24:32) Veterinarians are a hot commodity but often undervalue their worth
(51:26) Revenge trading might be the quickest way to turn a bad decision into a financial disaster

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.
