You don’t need to be a CPA to be a great owner.
But if you don’t understand how your business makes, loses, or keeps money... you’re flying blind.

In this episode of American Operator, JC walks through the core financial metrics every new business owner must track to know if the business is actually healthy… or just surviving.

From weekly cash flow checks to retention rates and debt coverage, this is the business dashboard no one handed you—but everyone needs.

🔍 Learn how to:

  • Build your “Owner Dashboard” with 3–5 core metrics
  • Read a P&L like a story—not a spreadsheet
  • Track cash flow daily and spot leaks fast
  • Monitor team morale without disrupting the operation
  • Make confident decisions with real financial awareness

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
