In this conversation, Scarlett and Candice explore what it truly means to create an abundant life, one where money becomes a tool for purpose and possibility, not pressure. They discuss how shifting your beliefs, managing your finances consciously, and reclaiming your power can open the door to freedom, fulfillment, and joy in both life and business. In this episode, you'll hear about:Scarlett's journey from perfectionism and burnout to alignment and abundanceHow early money beliefs shape your current relationship with financesThe three key steps to becoming an “Abundant Alchemist”The difference between the “Relentless Reacher” and “Volatile Visionary” money typesWhy managing your money intentionally creates emotional peaceHow manifestation and strategy work hand in handPractical ways to reclaim your power and use money to design your dream life Creating an abundant life is possible for everyone, no matter where you're starting from. When you reclaim your power, align your mindset, and use your money as a tool for purpose, you can begin living the life you love. Starting today! About Scarlett:Scarlett, aka The Biz Hippie, helps coaches master money and own their worth so they can be fully supported by the work they love! Using a combination of tangible money management strategies and a variety of powerful coaching techniques, Scarlett helps her clients transform their mindset and relationship to money and strategically make their vision happen.Scarlett didn't always live life this way. At the age of 18, Scarlett had already begun her professional journey and was managing restaurants and pursuing a degree in Business Management, Accounting, and Finance. Her life was all business all the time, despite having horrible relationships (with both people and money), struggles with depression, head-to-toe eczema, and frequent migraines. It took a cannabis-induced near-death experience to shake her to her core and start a slow crawl from rock bottom.Scarlett swung her pendulum from full business mode to total hippie; becoming a life coach, yoga instructor, and reiki practitioner. It was when a coach friend of hers was struggling with money that she was inspired to bring together her experience, skills, and degree to support her!! This was the genesis of Empowered Abundance, a program that helps coaches and business leaders transition into their next level of abundance with all the tools they need to make conscious and aligned decisions.Scarlett is a certified coach through the World Coach Institute and a Level 2 Enlifted Coach. On a personal level, she is a total hippie and loves spending time barefoot outside, vibing with her family in drum circles, and using plant medicine in the jungle.Website: https://thebizhippie.comFree 30 Minute Connection Call: https://thebizhippie.com/activationLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/scarlett-stanhopeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/scarlett.stanhope/-----If you're struggling, consider therapy with our sponsor, BetterHelp.Visit https://betterhelp.com/candicesnyder for a 10% discount on your first month of therapy.*This is a paid promotionIf you are in the United States and in crisis, or any other person may be in danger -Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Dial 988-----Connect with Candice Snyder!Website: https://www.podpage.com/passion-purpose-and-possibilities-1/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/candicebsnyder?_rdrPassion, Purpose, and Possibilities Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/passionpurposeandpossibilitiescommunity/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passionpurposepossibilities/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/candicesnyder/Shop For A Cause With Gifts That Give Back to Nonprofits: https://thekindnesscause.com/Fall In Love With Artists And Experience Joy And Calm: https://www.youtube.com/@movenartrelaxationClick this link to receive your FREE TRIAL to The Greenhouse Communityhttps://www.thegreenhousecommunity.com/checkout/the-greenhouse-membership?affiliate_code=11e889

How Outsourced Accounting Empowers SMBs: Insights from Rhett Molitor, CEO of Basis 365 AccountingIn this episode, host Josh Elledge interviews Rhett Molitor, CEO and co-founder of Basis 365 Accounting, to explore how outsourced accounting is transforming small and mid-sized businesses. Rhett shares how fractional accounting services help companies move beyond simple bookkeeping to strategic financial management. He also discusses how AI and automation are reshaping the accounting landscape and why proactive financial oversight is the key to scaling with confidence.The Shift to Strategic, Outsourced AccountingRhett Molitor founded Basis 365 Accounting in 2012 to fill a crucial gap for businesses earning between $1M–$20M in revenue—companies that have outgrown basic bookkeeping but don't yet need a full-time accounting team. Instead of focusing on compliance alone, Basis 365 partners with CEOs to turn accounting into a growth lever.Molitor breaks accounting into four key levels: bookkeeper, accountant, controller, and CFO—each representing a stage of financial maturity. A proactive approach means using data for decision-making, forecasting cash flow, and improving profitability over time. He also cautions that while AI and automation have made accounting faster, expert human oversight remains essential for accuracy and strategy.For SMB leaders, Rhett's message is clear: don't treat accounting as an afterthought. It's not just about managing expenses—it's about creating visibility, confidence, and insight to drive growth. Partnering with the right fractional accounting team gives businesses access to senior-level expertise without the overhead of full-time hires.About the Rhett MolitorRhett Molitor is the co-founder and CEO of Basis 365 Accounting, a U.S.-based outsourced accounting firm specializing in digital agencies, SaaS companies, and consultancies. With over a decade of experience helping SMBs scale efficiently, Rhett champions proactive, transparent financial management supported by technology and expert insight.About the Basis 365 AccountingBasis 365 Accounting provides outsourced bookkeeping, accounting, and fractional CFO services designed for growth-focused businesses.

Since Democrats decided to shut down the government over Affordable Care Act subsidies, now's a good time for a deep dive into what they're even talking about. John Hopkins professor Dr. Ge Bai walks us through the ACA subsidies, the hidden mechanics behind the Affordable Care Act, and its illusion of "affordability." Dr. Bai shows us how regulations and subsidies have quietly reshaped the healthcare market - and how the free market can make it work for patients again. Ge Bai, PhD, CPA is a Professor of Accounting at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and Professor of Health Policy & Management (joint) at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. An expert on health care accounting, finance, and policy, Dr. Bai has testified before the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate HELP Committee, written for the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post, and published her studies in leading academic journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and Health Affairs.

September 18, 2025 - This episode of Everything Co-op continues our tribute to the 2025 Cooperative Hall of Fame Inductees with a special conversation featuring Tom Webb. Tom shares insights from his lifelong work advancing cooperative education and global leadership and explores the enduring value and unique advantages of the cooperative business model. Tom Webb's career spans cooperative sectors in Canada and the United States, from grocery to IT, multistakeholder co-ops to credit unions. His most enduring legacy lies in education, a cornerstone of the Co-operative Identity. As Director of the Extension Department at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, Webb recognized the need for a graduate program focused on cooperative management. After years of persistence and collaboration, he established the Master of Management: Co-operatives and Credit Unions (MMCCU) at Saint Mary's University, now the world's leading English-language graduate program in cooperative business, offered fully online. The program's success, built on Webb's networking and support from co-op leaders in Canada, the U.S., and the UK, laid the foundation for the International Centre for Co-operative Management (ICCM). Today, ICCM offers degrees, certificates, executive training, study tours, and applied research, and is governed by the Co-operative Management Education Co-operative (CMEC), an international multistakeholder co-op with 80 members in 10 countries. Webb also founded the Centre of Excellence in Accounting and Reporting for Co-operatives (CEARC), advancing co-op specific financial and sustainability reporting. Though officially retired, Webb continues teaching, consulting, and writing. His book, From Corporate Globalization to Global Cooperation, captures a lifetime devoted to advancing cooperation. For his lifelong dedication and personification of cooperative values, Tom Webb will be inducted into the Cooperative Hall of Fame on October 9 in Washington, DC.

The discussion covers what's available at each subscription level and practical tips for navigating the new interface while these agents continue to evolve.SponsorsKeeper - https://uqb.promo/keeperDigits - https://uqb.promo/digits(00:00) - Introduction and Hosts (02:19) - Discussing AI in QuickBooks Online (07:16) - Exploring QuickBooks AI Agents (08:20) - Accounting Agent Deep Dive (25:37) - Bank Reconciliation Enhancements (35:36) - Payments Agent Overview (36:47) - Leveraging Customer Insights for Better Invoicing (37:24) - Maximizing Cash Flow with Late Fees and Reminders (38:09) - Personal Experiences with Payment Agents (50:31) - Finance Agent Overview (01:00:52) - New Navigation Tips and Tricks (01:03:58) - Upcoming Classes and Events LINKSDan's AI Agents Article: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/blog/QBOAIAgentsAccounting Agents Toolkit: https://digitalasset.intuit.com/render/content/dam/intuit/sbsegcs/en_us/quickbooks-online-accountant/documents/Accountants-Toolkit-FY25.pdf?cid=dig_fus_mof_fotf_qbo_na_inlk_testid_eng_us Firm of the Future ArticlesAgentic AI: https://www.firmofthefuture.com/product-update/quickbooks-innovation-agentic-ai-2025/ Accounting Agent: https://www.firmofthefuture.com/product-update/closer-look-at-quickbooks-bank-feed-and-accounting-agent/Accounting Agent Anomaly Detectionhttps://www.firmofthefuture.com/artificial-intelligence/quickbooks-anomaly-detection/Payments Agent: https://www.firmofthefuture.com/quickbooks-proadvisor/in-the-know-s4-e7-payments-agent/Customer Agent: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-assist/get-started-customer-agent/L6KtREjm9_US_en_USFinance Agent: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-assist/get-started-finance-agent/L0g3aJO6W_US_en_US Dan and Alicia's Passive-Agressive Income Course in November: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/a/2148177904/FzeLMxRp, Use code OWL25 for 25% offAlicia's classes including the Accounting Agents:New Bank Transactions Feed Class: http://royl.ws/QuickBooks-Online-Banking?affiliate=5393907Reconciling in QBO Class: http://royl.ws/Reconciling-In-QBO?affiliate=5393907Alicia's Upcoming Classes:Products, Services, and Inventory, Nov 18: http://royl.ws/qbo-Inventory?affiliate=5393907QB Payments Merchant Services, Nov 25: http://royl.ws/QB-Payments-Course?affiliate=5393907Dan's AI Agents Article: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/blog/QBOAIAgentshttps://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/ Schoolofbookkeeping YouTube: https://snip.ly/SOBYT Free Live Workshop Wednesdays: https://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/workshop-wednesday We want to hear from you!Send your questions and comments to us at unofficialquickbookspodcast@gmail.com.Join our LinkedIn community at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14630719/Visit our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@UnofficialQuickBooksPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Sign up to Earmark to earn free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/onboarding
