🚀 This is Part 1 of our 5-part series on the real journey of becoming an entrepreneur and content creator!
Thinking of quitting your 9-5 to start a business or become a content creator? The Leap of Faith kicks off our honest look at the ups, downs, and daily grind of building something from scratch.
Unlike most people making videos about this—those who already have 500K subscribers, YouTube plaques, and $50K+ a month rolling in—we’re still in the trenches. KayCee is a business owner with her own supplement line, and Just E is a content creator managing three (3) YouTube Channels with a 4th one in the making. We’re not talking from the top looking down—we’re sharing the journey as we live it, in real time.
If you’re just starting or even just thinking about becoming a content creator or entrepreneur, this series is for you. We’re talking about the realities: the small wins, the big mistakes, and what it takes to keep going when no one’s cheering yet.
🔥 What you’ll learn in this episode (Part 1):
✔️ The push & pull moments that make people finally quit their 9-5
✔️ Burnout, failure & fear of judgment—why creators often quit early
✔️ The truth about making money online—what no one tells you
✔️ Gatekeeping vs community building in the entrepreneurial space
✔️ Balancing relationships, family & business without losing yourself
✔️ Rebranding & pivoting strategies when your business isn’t working
📌 We’re not hustling gurus—we’re on the same journey you might be starting, and we’re sharing everything we’re learning as we build.
🎙️ Watch, comment & share your story of taking the leap!

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.
