Work life balance and why it doesn't mean what people think it does

I'm joined with professional career coach, Sara Nemecek, to discuss what work life balance means and what people can do to manage expectations.

The power of vulnerability in the working world - a conversation with Will Lopez from Gusto

People are very afraid to show who they really are but once the power of vulnerability is harnessed, it can be used for great gain in one's personal and professional life. Listen as Will Lopez and I share what it's meant to us in our lives.

AI and how you need to incorporate it in your life

You can't turn on any type of media without someone referring to AI but majority of people that talk about it barely know what it is. I simplify what AI is and how it will affect your life, especially for finance and accounting professionals.

Staying motivated as an entrepreneur

There is so much talk out there about motivation and "just keep working" but no one really talks about what it means to really stay motivated. I walk through some personal experiences and how I've worked to stay motivated throughout my entrepreneurial career.

What it takes to grow and evolve in today's business environment

What it takes to succeed in business today is completely different than what it used to be, and there is no right way to do it. Finding a path that works for everyone is a unique process that I discuss with Brandon Thornton who has taken over his family's business and is in the process of future proofing it. A conversation with Brandon Thornton.

Being genuine in business

There are so many lessons to be learned when growing and running a company and the most important one is how genuine your brand is. Are people going to feel good after doing business with you? Your team? Your product? Listen to my conversation with Profit First Cofounder, Ron Saharyan, on things we've seen in the industry and why we run our companies the way we do.

What it takes to succeed at a startup coming from a large company

I'm joined with experienced marketing and sales accounting expert Eileen Adao. She was one of the first hires at Xero in the United States and scaled their efforts going after QuickBooks Online for over 8 years. A conversation with Eileen Adao.

Going from CFO to CEO

The skillsets learned to be a successful CFO are very different than the skillets necessary to be a successful CEO. I'm joined with Howard to discuss his journey moving from a very successful CFO to becoming Founder and CEO of his own software startup. A conversation with Howard Katzenberg, ex CFO of Better and On Deck

The winning mindset versus the losing mindset

Starting and growing a company isn't for the faint of heart and it's a full contact sport. From side hustling stickers to a fast growing ecommerce company selling coolers, backpacks, hats, and anything else, Trevor talks about his journey that led to raising $2M from a ecommerce titan.

What it takes to scale a company - A conversation with Sharrin Fuller

Starting a company is difficult, scaling one is ten times harder. I'm joined with Sharrin Fuller who has successful exits under her belt to share stories of what it's like to scale and what she's doing now to help other founders exit the way they should
