Podcasts about Big Four

It's Cinco de Luncho time, and this week's countdown is all about the biggest, wildest sporting events outside the traditional Big Four leagues. From global spectacles to rowdy American traditions, the guys draft their ultimate bucket list of must-attend events where the party can be just as legendary as the competition. Would you travel across the world for Japanese baseball's electric atmosphere? Brave the chaos of the Waste Management Open? Experience the speed and spectacle of the Daytona 500? Dress to the nines for the Kentucky Derby? Or is nothing topping the pure insanity of an SEC football rivalry on campus? Along the way, the conversation veers into what really makes these events special, cultural immersion vs pure party energy, and which experiences are actually worth the trip.

Jake Brend and Andrew Downs react to Iowa and Iowa State's surprising losses to Maryland and TCU before previewing a massive weekend ahead for the Big Four. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dave Mustaine returns to celebrate Megadeth's latest album reaching #1 on the charts - a rare achievement for a pure metal record. He shares the emotional moment he learned about the milestone and details the extensive marketing campaign behind the release. Despite this success, Mustaine candidly discusses the physical limitations affecting his playing ability, particularly issues with his hands that make this Megadeth's final studio album. He offers insights into standout tracks like 'Tipping Point,' 'Hey, God,' and his cover of Metallica's 'Ride The Lightning,' which he co-wrote. The conversation turns to the physical toll that decades of metal performance has taken on the 'Big Four' bands, with Mustaine suggesting a potential final Big Four show with rotating slots for Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer beneath headliners Metallica. Also on the podcast, Rival Sons frontman Jay Buchanan joins Eddie Trunk to discuss his solo album 'Weapons of Beauty', a departure from his rock band's sound featuring acoustically-driven, personal ballads. Jay reveals his unconventional creative process, spending three months in an underground desert bunker to focus on songwriting. He shares insights about the album's lead single 'Caroline', his experience acting in the Bruce Springsteen film 'Deliver Me from Nowhere', and reflects on Rival Sons' performance at Black Sabbath's farewell show.  Catch Eddie Trunk every M-F from 3:00-5:00pm ET on Trunk Nation on SiriusXM Faction Talk Channel 103.And don't forget to follow Eddie on X and Instagram!Follow the link to get your free 3-month trial of SiriusXM: http://siriusxm.com/eddietrunk Find all episodes of Trunk Nation: https://siriusxm.com/trunknation Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“You know what I'm hearing? This sounds like it could have been…the sidepiece…to The Black Album…”   There's almost a strange, sarcastic satisfaction in knowing that the new self-titled MEGADETH album will forever be known (at least in our neck of the woods anyway) as “The White Album”.    “Every time you keep talking, I just see shapes and letters…”   Released on January 23, 2026, MEGADETH is the 17th studio album from Dave Mustaine and Company and represents the final chapter in the 40+ year history of the angriest, snarliest, and most progressively technical thrash band of The Big Four.    And oh yeah, it debuted at NUMBER ONE on Billboard and at the top of the charts all over the world!!!   While MEGADETH represents the band's epilogue, it contains all of the elements that have defined the band's sound and the ethos of the genre that they co-created with the rest of The Big Four. All of the essentials are there: insanely technical riffs, face melting guitar solos, triumphant twin guitar harmonies, as well as some more straight ahead, laid back and accessible material that screams “radio friendly” without being dull or boring. If you're a fan, you'll dig it. And if you're not a fan, who knows? You too may also dig it.   “Maybe it's not pronounced ‘Tey-Muu'…it's pronounced ‘Steve'.”   Always remember that “Rugby is a man's sport that should be having grindcore bands playing the halftime show…” and that “You're gonna paint secret little bushes like you paint secret little bushes… (and don't you tell anybody).   Get ready for an apology from us regarding the last “White Album” review that we did, prepare for a never before heard “triple record scratch” (because we're trying to stay out of trouble) and JOIN US for Dave & Vic's swan song with MEGADETH.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can't be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast Show Notes: (00:01): ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised *** / #coffeewithdrawal / “That's my drug of choice…”/ ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST!!!*** /  “It's a ‘long cold' now…”/ “Let's be real…can we have a metal band play the #SuperBowl?”/ “You want me to use the word…can I use the word?” / “They pander…”/ “Rugby is a man's sport. #Rugby should have #grindcore bands play their halftime show…”/ #FuckYouNFL /  #AmericanIdiot / “The shitty overhyped football show…”/ #FuckYouGrammys for leaving out #BrentHinds from the #InMemoriam / “Give them the minivan…2 in the front and 5 in the back…”/ “Some people need a pat on the back…”   (07:52): #FairUse / “If anything, we are helping people find out about these bands and these albums and this music…”/ “So you know what? #FuckYouRecordIndustry …today is #FuckYouDay …”/ Worst roller coaster ride ever / “Not only our sexy voices but our shitty faces too…”/ ***PATREON US at patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast *** / “Whooooooooo….” / #NewShittah #AtomicFreak TWO FACED WOMAN / “This is #ACDC from the 1970's…”/ “One more…/ LIGHT THE FUSE / “Are we doing an album dive here?” / NUCLEAR MELTDOWN / “What if AC/DC kept recording with Bon Scott?” / #BonFest / “In the same vein…since we're doing this…”/ #Airbourne TOO MUCH, TOO YOUNG, TOO FAST / “My CD player ate my #DreamTheater CD…”/ “Every time you keep talking, I just see shapes and letters…math equations…”   (22:13): #TheDocket METAL NERDERY PODCAST PRESENTS: MEGADETH (by MEGADETH) / 17th album by #Megadeth (and their first #1 album on #Billboard) / “It wasn't you it was the door…”/ Released January 23, 2026 / “Yes…math and triangles…”/ “How'd you do that?”/ #vocalburnASMR / “It sounded like he had an effect pedal…”/ “He's got #Elvis mouth…” / TIPPING POINT / “There's some stuff on here I could almost hear on ‘Killing Is My Business…'”   (31:13): #skatepunkthrash / “Man, that #Coroner album though…you can't have that helmet on…”/ “Have you seen the vinyl?

The holidays are behind us; you know what that means—it's tax season! But before you start gathering your W-2s and receipts, there's an important question: Do you know who will prepare your taxes this year?With a nationwide shortage of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and tax professionals, waiting too long to find a preparer could leave you scrambling—and vulnerable to scams. Here's how to protect yourself and find a trusted tax preparer.Who Can Prepare Your Taxes?When hiring a tax professional, your preparer will likely fall into one of three categories:Certified Public Accountant (CPA): These professionals undergo rigorous education, exams, and licensing requirements. Many specialize in tax preparation and can also provide broader financial guidance.Enrolled Agent (EA): Licensed by the IRS, EAs are tax experts who can prepare and file returns, represent clients before the IRS, and provide tax planning services.Tax Attorney: These legal professionals specialize in tax law and are particularly useful for complex tax situations, audits, or disputes.Each of these professionals is highly qualified—but the problem is there aren't enough of them.There is a growing shortage of CPAs and tax professionals, largely due to fewer young people entering the field. One of the major "Big Four" firms, KPMG, continues to offer high school students internships at $22 an hour to encourage them to become CPAs.What does this mean for you?Longer wait times to book a tax preparerHigher fees due to increased demandGreater risk of falling into the hands of fraudulent preparersWhen people are desperate to file their returns, they can become easy targets for scammers who fake credentials or engage in tax fraud.How to Avoid Tax Scams and Find a Qualified PreparerTo protect yourself, follow these IRS-recommended steps when choosing a tax preparer:1. Choose a Year-Round Tax PreparerA reputable preparer should be available year-round. You don't want your tax preparer to disappear if you get audited.2. Verify Their IRS CredentialsAsk for the IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). All paid tax return preparers must register with the IRS and enter their PTIN on every return they file.Check their status using the IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers at IRS.gov.3. Look for Professional CredentialsAsk if the preparer holds a credential such as:CPA (Check with the State Board of Accountancy)Enrolled Agent (Verify at IRS.gov under "Verify Enrolled Agent Status")Tax Attorney (Confirm with their State Bar Association)Additionally, inquire about continuing education, as tax laws change frequently; professionals should stay current.4. Be Cautious About FeesBeware of tax preparers who:Charge fees based on a percentage of your refundClaim they can get you a larger refund than competitorsA legitimate preparer should charge a flat or hourly rate based on the complexity of your return.5. Verify IRS E-File CapabilityMost tax preparers handling more than 10 clients must file electronically. If your preparer refuses to e-file, that's a red flag.6. Ensure Proper DocumentationA trustworthy tax preparer will ask for the following:Your W-2 and 1099 forms (not just a pay stub)Records of deductions and creditsIf a preparer doesn't ask for supporting documents, walk away. The IRS requires proper documentation to verify your return.7. Understand Representation RulesOnly CPAs, Enrolled Agents, and tax attorneys can represent you before the IRS if you're audited. Non-credentialed tax preparers—including your math-savvy cousin Bill—cannot represent you in an audit.8. Never Sign a Blank or Incomplete Tax ReturnPlease review your return carefully before signing. Ensure all information is accurate, and ask questions if anything appears incorrect.9. Your Refund Should Go to You—Not the PreparerCheck the routing and account number on your tax return to ensure your refund is deposited into your own account, not your preparer's.Looking for a Faith-Based Financial Professional?If you want to work with a tax professional who aligns with biblical financial principles, consider finding a CPA, Enrolled Agent, or tax attorney with the Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®) designation. To find a trusted, faith-based tax professional, visit FindaCKA.com. With tax season here, choosing a reputable, qualified tax preparer is more important than ever. Don't wait until the last minute—start your search today to avoid scams and ensure your taxes are filed accurately and ethically.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have long-term care insurance and want to know if it covers assisted living, and for how long. Also, how expensive are these policies—what's the range?I'm 45 and looking to buy a house with a 30-year mortgage. Is that a wise move since I'd be nearing retirement by the time it's paid off?I'm remodeling our bathroom for my husband, who has Parkinson's, and it will cost about $25,000–$30,000. Is it better to take the money from my 401(k) or from equity in our paid-off home?My husband is retired, and when he tries to claim disability, they tell him he can't because of my income since we file jointly.

The Aussie market suffered its sharpest fall in months, sliding deep into the red as a global commodity rout sparked a nasty four-day losing streak. The sell-off followed President Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair. Warsh’s hawkish reputation sent the US dollar surging, causing gold to suffer its steepest crash since the 1980s and silver to plunge even further. Local gold miners like Newmont and Northern Star were crushed as the broader Materials sector retreated sharply. In contrast, Nine Entertainment extended its winning streak following a massive billboard acquisition. GrainCorp plummeted on a major profit downgrade, while the "Big Four" banks showed some resilience. All eyes now pivot to tomorrow’s high-stakes RBA meeting, with markets heavily favouring the first interest rate hike in over two years.

In this episode of Talk Property To Me, hosts Brad East and Aaron Downie break down why inflation is rising again and what it could mean for Australia's interest rates in 2026. With electricity prices, rent and housing costs keeping inflation elevated, the big question is: will the RBA hike in February 2026, or hold and reassess mid-year? We unpack the key drivers behind the latest inflation headlines, why rate rises don't fix electricity prices, and what the Big Four banks are predicting (with opinions split). If you're a homeowner, investor, or planning to buy, this episode focuses on practical strategy—how to think about borrowing capacity, buffers, and staying calm when the media goes "doom and gloom." Key topics covered ✔️ Australia inflation 2026: what's pushing it higher ✔️ RBA interest rates 2026: February hike vs hold  ✔️ Why electricity costs keep inflation sticky (and why rates won't fix it)  ✔️ Rent, housing supply, vacancy rates & the pressure on the market  ✔️ Big Four bank predictions and what they imply for borrowers  ✔️ Practical advice: don't max borrowing capacity + build an offset buffer

Why do some recruiters stay stuck on contingent work while others shift a large portion of their business to retained without pitching harder or sounding salesy? James Cairns found the answer the hard way. James is a CPA who left a stable corporate finance career to start a boutique search firm with no agency experience, no local network, and just $30,000 in savings. His first year was brutal. Three placements. Borrowed money. Serious doubts about whether he'd made a huge mistake. Then one summer night, sitting on his back porch, James made a decision that changed everything. He eliminated Plan B. From that point on, momentum followed. Today, James runs The CSP Group, a highly respected finance and accounting search firm in St. Louis. He regularly beats national firms, fills senior roles up to CFO level, and now operates with roughly 40% of his work on retained or contained terms. In this episode, James breaks down what actually drove that shift. Not better sales tactics, scripts, or pressure. But commitment, process, and the confidence to walk away from the wrong work. This conversation offers a clear look at what changes when a recruiter stops competing on volume and starts choosing the right work. In this episode, you'll learn: Why eliminating "Plan B" unlocked consistent momentum How James moved from 3 placements to 40% retained work The candidate profiling system that generates a third of his placements Why being local and specialized beats national firms How to position retained search without pitching or pressure Why walkaway power matters more than persuasion Episode highlights: [3:44] Why a CPA with zero agency experience started a search firm [6:31] Quitting with $30K, a pregnant wife, and no local network [8:46] First-year reality: three placements and borrowed money [10:04] The back porch moment that eliminated Plan B [18:41] The candidate process that transformed responsiveness [21:51] Talent profiles and how they drive a third of placements [38:02] Why local specialization beats national firms [43:27] The CFO placement that changed everything [50:04] "This is how we work": James's retained positioning [59:06] Why walkaway power leads to more retained work James's story is proof that retained success isn't about being louder or more persuasive. It's about clarity, commitment, and choosing the right work. Guest Bio: James Cairns is the founder of The CSP Group, a boutique executive search firm specializing in finance and accounting talent in the St. Louis market. James earned his CPA license and began his career at PwC in Big Four audit before moving into corporate finance roles. He started The CSP Group in 2014 with $30,000 in savings, a one-year-old at home, another child on the way, and no local business network. After a difficult first year, James committed fully to making the business work - a decision that changed everything. Today, the CSP Group places senior-level finance professionals up to the CFO level, with approximately 40% of search assignments on retained or contained terms.

Dominic Piscopo's journey in accounting started at a Big Four firm in Canada, where he discovered his firm was paying its employees well below the average in his area. We look back at his conversation with John Randolph on CPA Life Rewind Episode 87 about how that experience, among others, led to him launching Big 4 Transparency, a platform which tracks salary data in the profession. Dom talks about Big 4 Transparency's transformation from community project to full-time venture as a result of his feeling a "social responsibility" to supply this information for free to the community while taking on firm clients who want to understand where their offerings stand in the marketplace. Underscoring the strategic use of timely data to attract and retain talent, Dom talks about how transparent compensation practices can promote employee satisfaction and prevent wage stagnation, benefiting firms of all sizes.

In this conversation, I explore a fascinating paradox in our relationship with artificial intelligence.Why do we demand absolute perfection from AI while accepting human error as inevitable? When an LLM hallucinates or cites fake sources, I get frustrated. But when a colleague misspeaks or misremembers, I give them grace. Why the double standard?I walk through the reality of human error across industries:* Diagnostic mistakes happen in 5-20% of doctor visits* 80% of aviation accidents trace back to human error* 20% of Big Four audits have significant deficiencies* Even elite professionals only achieve 90-95% accuracy.The thread tying all of this together is simple but uncomfortable: our imperfections are what make us human and interesting. AI-generated content feels soulless. You can sense it. It lacks emotion, depth, playfulness, and personality.I believe we're heading toward an age where we'll pay a premium for human-generated content, art, and music.

Carsten Vissering was an absolute force during his time in the pool. Breaking national high school and age records as a teenager, he went on to swim for the University of Southern California in college. As a Trojan, Vissering won an NCAA title in 2018 as a part of the 200 medley relay and 2 Pac-12 Titles. Once Vissering walked away from swimming, though, he wasn't done with elite sport. After aquatic retirement, Vissering still wanted to compete and ended up stumbling into bobsledding in 2022. He made the US national team and worked his way up the ranks until, earlier this month, he qualified for the 2026 US Olympic team. Vissering will compete next month in Milan Cortina dawning the Red, White, and Blue. SwimSwam sat down with the now winter athlete to discuss what training, competition, and the mental side of bobsledding is all about. Vissering details the nuances and hardships of the sport. He also tells his personal side of the story, sharing his drive to still compete, the will to learn and grow in a new sport, and the balance it takes to be a full-time athlete and work at a Big Four consulting firm.

Note: This episode is a rebroadcast of Shane Mason's appearance on the Only Fee-Only podcast. This week on The Liquidity Event, we're sharing a rebroadcast of a recent conversation featuring Shane Mason on the Only Fee-Only podcast. In this episode, Shane shares his unconventional founder story, from Big Four tax to touring life, before teaming up with AJ to build Brooklyn FI into a 20-person advisory firm rooted in transparency, productized service, and genuine hospitality. He walks through the early days of the firm, including running a tax practice out of a bar booth, pricing low to gain experience, and taking weekend prospect meetings to refine the offer. The conversation quickly turns practical, covering why most equity compensation issues are really tax issues, how offering refunds can protect long-term trust, and why turning estate planning into a social, notarized event helps clients finally take action. Shane also discusses building an enterprise rather than a lifestyle practice, documenting workflows for consistency, evolving the firm's niche from creatives to tech employees, and what changes when founders step back from day-to-day client work. The episode wraps with a look at Gemifi, the fintech platform Brooklyn FI built to help advisors visualize vesting schedules and future balance sheets. If you're building or scaling an RIA, this rebroadcast is full of hard-won insights on processes, client experience, and leading through growth.

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine dives into his band's final studio album, their upcoming tour and more in this exclusive interview with the thrash metal legend.

This week we're sharing a series of episodes that capture one of our favorite themes on Second Act Stories: the moment when life changes key. These Key Changes episodes feature people whose lives have been shaped by music: some who left it behind for something new; others who found their way to it later than expected. Together, they're the stories we return to when we want to show how reinvention really works, not as a clean break, but as a shift in rhythm, perspective, and purpose. Whether you're a longtime listener or just discovering the show, these episodes reflect the heart of the podcast: bold pivots, unexpected harmony, and second acts that still have plenty to say. Dan Spitz is a true pioneer in every sense of the word. As the lead guitarist of legendary band Anthrax, Dan was one of the innovators who birthed the entire genre of thrash metal music. Anthrax is one of the "Big Four" thrash metal bands, a group that also includes Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer. He sold millions of albums, played on the world's biggest stages, and saw his music influence legions of acts that would follow. In 1995, as Anthrax continued to reach new heights, something changed. Dan realized his heart was no longer in it, so he quit the band without a plan for what was next. Dan had been exposed to watchmaking at a young age through his grandfather, who owned a jewelry store where he repaired watches in New York's Catskill Mountains. That childhood experience came rushing back when he stumbled across an ad for the Bulova watchmaking school. The pieces fit together as perfectly as the mechanics of a complicated watch, and Dan enrolled, graduating a four-year program in 18 months. Then he became the first American to be accepted into a Swiss watchmaking school, and his incredible second act was official. Today, Dan is one of the world's most sought-after master watchmakers. He's the watchmaker who watchmakers go to when they can't solve a problem. In this episode, you'll hear some of the details about the birth of thrash metal, the conflict that led to Dan's departure from Anthrax, and the journey that led a thrash metal legend become a legend in the world of fine watches.

Eldred Wee, Founder of Edenity, joins Jeremy Au to unpack why corporate services and accounting firms sit at the center of Southeast Asia's next wave of SME acquisitions. They explore how Eldred's early career in Big Four audit shaped his ability to spot incentives, fraud, and double or triple books, and why these realities define investing in the region. The conversation covers the rise of roll-ups in accounting and corporate services, why organic growth is hard for B2B services in Southeast Asia, and how aging founders and low digitization are creating a narrow transition window for buyers. Eldred also shares why price arbitrage alone rarely works, how culture and trust determine post-deal success, and why relationship-driven execution matters more than capital in small business M&A. 04:33 Big Four audit trained judgment, not just rules: Eldred learned how incentives, weak controls, and human behavior enable fraud to persist over years. 09:21 Double and triple books are a regional reality: Separate records exist for tax, management, and true economics, shaping how investors must assess risk. 11:58 Accounting is at a transition point: AI and digitization are advancing fast while many traditional firms remain underprepared. 12:38 SMEs form the backbone of Singapore's economy: Small firms drive close to half of GDP and most employment, making corporate services critical infrastructure. 14:20 Inorganic growth beats organic growth for B2B services: Fragmentation and regulation push buyers to acquire existing firms rather than scale from scratch. 18:47 Culture outweighs financials in small acquisitions: Employee loyalty and founder habits often determine post-deal success or failure. 29:12 Personal history shapes leadership and dealmaking: Eldred's early life experiences reinforce his focus on trust, relationships, and long-term legacy.

Andy sits down with Kanny Lee, CEO and co-founder of SecondSwap, to explore one of crypto's most under-discussed structural problems: liquidity for locked and vested tokens. With a background spanning two decades in Big Four forensic accounting and early institutional crypto OTC trading in Hong Kong, Kanny brings a rare blend of TradFi discipline and on-chain realism to the conversation. Why you should listen Kanny explains why crypto's evolution now demands proper secondary market infrastructure—something traditional finance has always relied on, but Web3 has largely ignored. SecondSwap is building a decentralized, on-chain marketplace that allows locked token positions to be traded without breaking vesting schedules, inflating supply, or undermining token integrity. By operating directly at the smart-contract layer, SecondSwap enables partial exits, discounted entry for new investors, and real liquidity where none previously existed. The discussion digs into "mid-life markets," token dump cycles, and the difference between superficial liquidity driven by short-term speculation versus sustainable liquidity built on conviction and patience. Kanny makes the case that healthy secondary markets could be a missing piece behind the stalled altcoin cycle—and that better liquidity design benefits founders, early investors, and new entrants alike. The conversation wraps with rapid-fire hot takes on Bitcoin maximalism, real-world assets, AI, privacy chains, and whether another alt season is still possible.  Supporting links Stabull Finance SecondSwap Andy on Twitter  Brave New Coin on Twitter Brave New Coin   If you enjoyed the show please subscribe to the Crypto Conversation and give us a 5-star rating and a positive review in whatever podcast app you are using.

In this Sofa Session, Kate Hayward, Managing Director of Xero UK, shares how growing up in a self-employed household shaped her views on risk, money and why bookkeepers are now more vital than ever to small businesses. For UK bookkeepers, this is a clear, honest look at where the profession is heading and how to stay at the centre of it. Kate talks about watching her parents worry over money at the kitchen table, how that drove her into a science degree and a Big Four career, and why she eventually left the perceived safety of that world to join a fast-growing tech company while planning to start a family. She shares the leadership moment that stopped her from self-selecting out of a senior role because of motherhood, and why background should never limit whose voice is heard in business or policy. A major theme of the conversation is financial literacy. Kate explains why the UK still lacks a joined-up, practical approach to money education and why Xero has invested in its financial literacy campaign to try to change that. She describes financial literacy as a life-cycle issue, from what children see at home to the decisions business owners face as they grow. For bookkeepers and accountants, Kate is clear: you are the lifeline for many small businesses. With the disappearance of the traditional bank manager, clients now turn to their adviser to interpret the numbers, sense-check decisions and connect them to wider support. She also acknowledges that many advisers were never taught sales, marketing or entrepreneurship, even though clients increasingly expect that wider commercial input. The episode also tackles AI and the future of the profession. Kate's view is firm: AI will not replace bookkeepers or accountants. It will remove repetitive manual work and create space for deeper conversations, better insight and more ambitious client growth. The skills that matter most become communication, commercial thinking, pricing confidence and the ability to guide clients through uncertainty. If you are a UK bookkeeper or accountant who cares about small business, worries about AI, or wants to play a bigger role in clients' financial understanding and long-term success, this conversation with Kate Hayward will help you see what's coming next — and how you can stay essential. ----------------------------------------------- About us We're Jo and Zoe and we help bookkeepers find clients, make more money and build profitable businesses they love.

“Aneb and I met in 1974 when I was incarcerated in prison,” Matthew D. Jones Jr., LMSW, ACSW tells Detroit is Different—and from that first line, this episode becomes a masterclass in how Legacy Black Detroit culture survives, adapts, and teaches. Jones walks us from Black Bottom (“Chene & Gratiot”) to Forest & Van Dyke, where “seniors… looked out for the kids” and community love was “the normal process for black folks at the time.” He doesn't dodge the hard truths: the “Big Four” police harassment, the anger it produced, and the 1966 case that changed his life—plus the haunting image of a military tank rolling through Detroit during the 1967 rebellion. But the heart of this interview is transformation: “the only way I was going to get out… was education,” reading thousands of books, earning degrees inside, and being guided by elders like Dr. Gloria "Mama Aneb” House. When a freedom fighter challenges him—“violence is not going to save us… use your mind”—Jones turns pain into purpose, and his memoir Fire in My Belly becomes a roadmap for our past and a strategy for our future. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

PwC's new training program aims to give early-career recruits hands-on experience integrating artificial intelligence tools into everyday work. The Big Four accounting and advisory firm started piloting AI immersion sessions in October, with a full rollout to new US associates slated for July. The sessions are happening across PwC's tax, assurance, and advisory business. "We truly believe that the role of the new associate will be changing with AI and that their role will become somewhat elevated, and we need to make sure that we're really training them on those skills to work and think differently," said Margaret Burke, the firmwide talent acquisition and development leader for PwC US. Like its competitors, PwC has recently funneled resources into next generation autonomous tools aimed at handling routine tasks solo. The firm said in November it shed about 150 jobs across marketing, human resources, and other US support roles as part of a longer-term effort modernizing its back-office unit, including through using new AI tools. In this week's Talking Tax, Burke and PwC US Tax Leader Krishnan Chandrasekhar sat down with Bloomberg Tax reporter Jorja Siemons to discuss how the AI trainings have gone so far and what skills they hope new employees learn.
