It’s time to hit the road with Aly + Andrew on their ‘most bodacious’ all Aussie accounting adventures! Run your own accounting firm? Maybe thinking of starting one? Perhaps you work inside one and want ideas on how to do things better. Well - Aly & Andr
We're getting real about overwhelm — the kind that creeps in quietly or crashes down like a piano from the sky. Aly and Andrew are opening up about what it feels like to carry the weight of responsibility as business owners, and how that pressure can sneak into every corner of life.Through some raw honesty, they unpack the messiness of overwhelm and the ways they're learning to cope — one to-do list and deep breath at a time.In this episode:• Why “I'm fine” sometimes needs a major rebrand• The many flavours of overwhelm – from life-altering chaos to good ol' decision fatigue• When business is booming but your inner world feels… bankrupt• Keeping your leadership hat on when you'd rather throw it out the window• Coping strategies that actually help – like compartmentalising, sweating it out, and seeking tiny sparks of joy• Practicing gratitude • How to actually support someone who's overwhelmed (hint: less advice, more presence)• A reminder that tough seasons end – and often leave us stronger than beforeSo take a breath. Be kind to yourself. And if all else fails, put on this episode and know you're not in it alone.
There's something special about gathering with your professional crew right in your own backyard. When vendors pack their bags and roll into your city, they're not just saving you the hassle of airport security and bad airline snacks – they're investing in local connections, bringing the brainpower to you, and proving that professional development doesn't have to mean jet lag.This season, Aly and Andrew are diving deep into industry gatherings, starting with roadshows – those traveling treasure troves of thought leadership, product updates, and networking gold. We're peeling back the curtain on what makes these regional events tick – from the logistical chaos organisers face to the classic no-show problem at free events (seriously, folks, just show up if you register!).Our case study? The Xero Summer Series – a fresh take on professional development that skips the sales pitch and goes all-in on thought leadership. Economic forecasts, tech trends, and wellbeing strategies? Check. But let's be real – the real magic happens in the margins: over pre-event coffee chats, post-event happy hours, and those in-between moments where local accountants swap war stories and wisdom. Whether you're a solo accountant craving community or a firm leader looking to invest in your team, roadshows serve up top-tier professional development without the cross-country trek.So, are you ready to hit the road with us? We'll be exploring events big and small all season long. Tell us your favourite industry gatherings and let's talk about why accountants really come together (spoiler: it's not just for the CPE credits or is it!).
