Choosing between a traditional 401k and a Roth 401k is one of the most common questions workers face today. With more employers now offering both options, many people default to a 50/50 split simply because they don’t know what else to do. But is that really the best strategy? And how do you figure out the right mix for your situation?
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
🏦 Traditional 401k: tax deduction today, taxable withdrawals tomorrow
💡 Roth 401k: after-tax contributions, tax-free withdrawals later

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.
