“Whoever is listening, I'm talking directly to you. Separate your business and personal finances. So get a business bank account. That is going to make just the organization of everything so much simpler, it's gonna make tax time easier for you, it's going to make just knowing your numbers and knowing if you're profitable, easier for you.” - Brittney Suttle

Key Quotes
“These [add-ons] are the expenses that you may be paying for personally, but are also business related, because you do use them at least partially for your business. So because they're not necessarily run through and paid via your business, you just don't think about including them as a deduction. And these are things like your cell phone and internet.” - Brittney Suttle
“It's still helpful to have people in your corner that are certified, can answer the questions correctly that you have, and are there to support you in the way that your business is set up and the way that you are wanting to grow your business.” - Liz Boer

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.
