What does it really mean to play your own financial game?
In today’s episode, I’m joined by James Alexander, a certified financial planner who brings both heart and math to the world of money. James and I explore the importance of defining your personal version of financial success, and we discuss why comparing yourself to others can pull you away from what actually matters to you.
We talk about how to start with your values and vision, and then build a plan to back into those dreams using both emotional awareness and clear financial strategy. James shares a practical framework for allocating your income (his 20/60/20 rule), and we also talk about the emotional weight of debt, managing motivation, and teaching kids how to understand and use money.
This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or unsure where to even begin with planning your financial future. This conversation offers both practical advice and deep mindset shifts to help you move forward on your own terms.

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.
