Lords of Capital

As part of my 10 year mark of practicing in Public Accounting, I've decided to share my journey that I've been on. This episode is about how the first seeds of wanting to be a CPA were planted. It talks about the obstacles including dealing with young parents, small town racism, failure, and winning against the odds.

In this episode, I explain a model that I use to project the market, Tom Brady's potential divorce, and how this relates to the workplace and the future, and I discuss a poll I saw on Linkedin about the most important thing in business (and my response).

In this episode I give an update on my health, the Fed's new economy, and what businesses should be doing to prepare.

In this episode I talk about the evolution of business strategy and about the 4th stage we are now entering.

I also discuss the flaws in Traction, a popular business "operating system" being used today and what tomorrow's business strategy framework will look like.

I finally give my thoughts on the market, I wrote in article on Substack that predicted the current bear market which very few people were discussing in public.

In this video I talked about 5 ways you can decrease your audit risk based on my experience. 

I talk about some lessons I've learned this year working on real audits. 

I give you my take on what the IRS' new funding means for everyone and when you listen to my take, you'll walk away with some action items to implement to decrease your audit risk.

In this episode I talk about how to understand what time is and how it works. 

I talk about how to use this concept of time to orient to the world correctly and help you know what you should do. 

On that note, I give some observations that to me are "clues" about where we are in time. 

Finally, I end about how to use this knowledge and prepare for the future.

I talk about the new changes in the firm (going independent from previous partnership) and some of the reasons that decision was made; I also talk about what I have been working on bringing to life, and I break down my theory on why the S curve is an abstraction of reality and why the business life cycle works out that way.

Enjoy!

Love Joe

Leaders are charismatic and commanding, which are common qualifies of saints and psychos. One will build you up, and the other will stab you in the back. How do you know you are following a psycho or a saint? Should you leave or stay? In this episode, I talk about how to tell the difference.

In this episode I reflect about the lessons I learned during "The Great Recession" as a new accountant in the workforce and what we should remember around that time. Is it smart to make a move and play the game right now? Here's my take.
