Key Takeaways:

  1. Watch important financial ratios: Pay attention to numbers like your cash-to-debt ratio and how long it takes customers to pay, since they show how healthy your cash flow is.
  2. Use a 16-week cash flow plan: This helps business owners focus on the areas that bring in the most profit.
  3. Avoid unprofitable paths: Say no to money-losing opportunities and strengthen existing relationships to keep finances strong.
  4. Stay disciplined after hard times: Using lessons learned during downturns helps build long-term success when revenues grow again.
  5. Plan big purchases carefully: Good financial planning makes it easier to buy major items, like a luxury car, with confidence.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
