After suddenly and necessarily leaving a job she loved, Maggie McClure faced a future without an income. Trusting her instincts and her skills as an operational process genius, she forged a path forward to create her own company, Fractional Magic. In this episode we talk the feelings that come with leaving a job, how to decide what's next, and the steps to opening your own LLC.
About the Guest:
Maggie McClure is a woman who can out-processize the pants off any problem while cracking jokes that'll make you snort-laugh. This self-proclaimed "most capable class clown you'll ever meet" found herself in a bit of a pickle when she suddenly bid adieu to her cushy job (for reasons that any humane person would totally understand).
With two hungry boys at home and the weight of being the family breadwinner on her shoulders, Maggie had approximately 72 hours to pull a rabbit out of her hat. Spoiler alert: She didn't just pull out a rabbit; she conjured up an entire business faster than you can say "trauma-induced diet plan."
Drawing on her knack for turning chaos into clockwork, Maggie launched Fractional Magic, offering fractional operations management that's part science, part sorcery. Maggie's superpower? Creating connections between workflows, documenting clear processes, and making her clients' lives easier than a Sunday morning.
Maggie proves that with the right mindset (and a healthy dose of humor), the only way is #upwardalways.

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.
