Mel Kaye transitioned from a decades-long corporate sales career to founding his own agency, Life Insurance Safe Zone, after becoming disillusioned with the industry's focus on closing deals. Rejecting traditional hard-sell tactics, he built his business on authenticity, transparency, and putting clients’ needs first, leading to a successful and fulfilling new career.
Mel entered the life insurance industry after a bad personal experience with a policy that didn’t offer a return of premium option. This led him to prioritize educating clients and ensuring they don’t make the same mistake. His passion for helping people with the right coverage and transparency drives his work today.

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.
