With more and more talented females entering the workforce and playing important leadership roles, stay-at-home dads and nannies are becoming the new normal. Today, we invited Katie Provinziano, the founder of Westside Nannies and is based out of Los Angeles, to talk about her industry. As you can imagine, because of COVID, the demand for nannies has grown exponentially (school/daycare are closed), and yet the supply has remained quite low. As a result, pricing has increased greatly. Katie explained the scope of work a family can expect from a nanny, the “nanny & house assistance” combo, and the importance of confidentiality. Nathaniel was curious about how does one decide between a nanny or daycare, and Katie gave her inciteful opinion. She also gave some tips on how to create a successful relationship with your nanny: express your appreciation, be kind, pay them well, treat them right, and set reasonable boundaries. As Katie said, your house is the nanny’s workplace now - you can’t just walk around naked anymore! She pointed out some big mistakes she has seen when parents hire nannies on their own. Overall, welcoming a complete stranger into your house to take care of the person you love the most can be a stressful process. Do your due diligence - it shouldn’t be a shameful thing to admit that, hey, we need a professional's help to do this right!

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.
