Podcast: Nurses With Voices Hosted by Dr. Lendra
People love to say that starting a business is risky. But you know what’s even riskier? Staying stuck. Trading your health for a paycheck. Spending years inside systems that don’t value you.
In this episode of Nurses With Voices, Dr. Lendra breaks down the myths of risk in business and flips the script to show nurse leaders, entrepreneurs, and aspiring founders how to launch smarter, not scarier.
From mass layoffs in healthcare to the hidden costs of “staying safe” in a W-2 job, Dr. Lendra reveals why ownership is actually the more secure path and how you can de-risk your journey with clarity, AI-powered strategies, and the Burnout to Breakthrough Blueprint.

-
Why a W-2 job isn’t as safe as you think (just look at recent hospital layoffs).

The 3 biggest myths about risk in business—and the truth behind them.

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.
