Gian Pazzia is the Chairman & Chief Strategy Officer at KBKG, where he oversees all strategic initiatives for one of the nation's leading specialty tax firms. With over 25 years of experience in the cost segregation industry, Gian is a recognized authority in his field and a former President of the American Society of Cost Segregation Professionals (ASCSP). During his tenure, he spearheaded the publication of the first technical standards for cost segregation reports and worked closely with the IRS on audit techniques, repair regulations, and landmark tax cases. As one of the first professionals in the U.S. to earn the Certified Cost Segregation Professional (CCSP) designation, Gian has provided expert testimony before the IRS and has been published in journals such as Accounting Today, AICPA's Tax Advisor, and Bloomberg Tax. Before joining KBKG, he worked at two of the Big Four accounting firms, helping to develop proprietary cost segregation software and advanced training programs. Today, Gian is a sought-after speaker who has educated thousands of CPAs and real estate professionals nationwide. In this episode, Gian and I dive into the world of cost segregation and its powerful role in boosting cash flow for real estate investors. We explore how accelerating depreciation can save investors significant money on taxes, why bonus depreciation is such a game-changer, and how even small property owners can benefit. Gian also shares insights into energy efficiency tax incentives, how technology and AI are making cost segregation more accessible, and why running real estate like a true business is the key to long-term wealth.   What You Will Learn: Who is Gian P. Pazzia, and how did he become one of the nation's leading experts in cost segregation? What exactly is cost segregation, and how can it accelerate depreciation to maximize investor cash flow? How has bonus depreciation reshaped the tax landscape for real estate owners? What practical examples show the impact of cost segregation on small and mid-size properties? How KBKG's software empowers everyday investors to take advantage of strategies once reserved for large institutional players. What energy efficiency tax incentives are available to multifamily investors and developers? Why treating real estate like a business—and leveraging the right tax strategies—is critical for building lasting wealth. Gian's story is proof that expertise, strategy, and innovation can transform the way investors approach real estate. Whether you're a new landlord with a duplex or a seasoned multifamily developer, this episode will give you practical tools to minimize taxes, maximize cash flow, and grow your portfolio more effectively.   Links & Resources: Email Address: gian.pazzia@kbkg.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KBKGTaxIncentives/ X: https://twitter.com/KBKG LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kbkg/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/KBKGinc Discount for listeners: Use code MASSIVE2025 at checkout for 10% off KBKG's residential cost segregation software.   Attention Investors and Agents Are you looking to grow your business?

James Ignatowich (aka Iggy) stops by to reveal how he went from pro pickleball player to paddle engineer with the launch of his new company, RPM.

Send us a textWhat does it really take to build a successful global consulting firm from scratch without external investment? In this revealing conversation, Jeffrey Cronkshaw, founder and group managing director of Lancia Consult, shares the untold story behind growing his consultancy from a two-person operation to a thriving international business with offices in Singapore, the UK, and beyond.The journey began not with a meticulously crafted business plan, but with a practical solution to work-life balance challenges when Jeffrey's wife Isabella returned from maternity leave at Accenture. What started as a simple contracting vehicle quickly evolved into something much more ambitious when they spotted a significant gap in the Southeast Asian market – a vacuum between the Big Four firms and very small local consultancies that was begging to be filled.Jeffrey candidly discusses the realities of leaving partner-track positions at Accenture, the early cash flow challenges, and how they've built a distinctive culture with a remarkably young leadership team. His approach to growth has been refreshingly opportunistic rather than following conventional wisdom – deliberately avoiding London when entering the UK market, prioritizing process development before problems arise, and maintaining a long-term vision rather than focusing on a quick exit.Most compelling is Lancia's strategy for competing with industry giants. Rather than trying to beat them at their own game, they've created distinct advantages: giving consultants broader experiences and faster progression opportunities, maintaining deep connections between offices that would typically operate as separate entities in larger firms, and carefully diversifying their service offerings beyond pure consulting.Whether you're considering starting your own consultancy, looking to join a growing firm, or simply fascinated by entrepreneurial journeys, this episode offers valuable insights into building a sustainable professional services business in today's competitive landscape. How might Lancia's approach change your thinking about what's possible in the consulting world?Prof. Joe O'Mahoney helps boutique consultancies scale and exit.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Remember last week I offered you every advantage over me when it comes to attracting women...except ONE. ICYMI, that led to the conclusion that the third pillar of the Big Four traits that universally attract women needed some adjustment. Well, after giving it some serious thought, the truth is times have changed and the NEW third pillar reflects the evolution of society over the past couple of decades since I first formulated the Big Four. On the surface, it's SO obvious you might be left shaking your head at first. But the hard truth is if you actually exhibit it nowadays, you have a MASSIVE advantage over most guys. https://mountaintoppodcast.com/substack === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === Snippets From The Summit are all about completely original ideas for success with women that also happen to be extemely effective...and actionable.

Technology is changing fast—but the firms that thrive will be the ones that keep people at the center of everything they build.I had a great conversation with Patrick Parker, Founder of Fynancial, about how human-centered design, data structure, and digital agents are reshaping the future of wealth management. Patrick brings a unique perspective—rooted in both tech entrepreneurship and a deep understanding of the advisory space—to show how advisors can blend empathy with innovation. He shared how growing up around an RIA and working in Big Four consulting helped him see the persistent gap between client expectations and what most fintech tools deliver.We covered everything from the evolution of client portals and the role of community in client engagement, to why data infrastructure is the key to getting AI right. Patrick makes a compelling case that digital agents won't replace advisors—they'll remove the operational clutter so advisors can double down on what matters: trust, insight, and connection. For firms ready to experiment, iterate, and rethink how technology supports relationships, this is a glimpse into what the next chapter of advising could look like.

Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. For more than two decades, David Tyree lived a double life. On the surface, he was a dedicated agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Behind the scenes, he infiltrated some of the most dangerous organizations in the world, outlaw motorcycle gangs and international drug cartels. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “I spent years sitting across from people who wouldn't hesitate to kill me if they knew who I really was,” Tyree said during a recent interview. “The stakes were always life or death. But the mission, to dismantle these organizations, was worth every risk.” He is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. Undercover Against Motorcycle Gangs Tyree's undercover work included working with outlaw motorcycle clubs, also known as “one-percenters.” These organizations often present themselves as brotherhoods of riders but, as the Department of Justice points out, many function as highly structured criminal enterprises. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “The ‘Big Four' dominate the outlaw motorcycle scene,” Tyree explained. “These groups aren't just about bikes. They're about drugs, weapons, extortion, and serious violence. My job was to get inside and stay alive long enough to make a difference.” Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. According to federal reports, there are more than 300 active motorcycle gangs in the U.S. Some operations are small, but others span hundreds of chapters worldwide, often working hand-in-hand with drug cartels. Cartels, Cash, and Money Laundering Tyree's assignments expanded beyond biker gangs. He went undercover as a drug dealer, then later as a money launderer, targeting powerful South American and Central American drug cartels. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. “These cartels are multinational corporations of crime,” he said. “Drugs, cash, money, violence, it's all part of their business model. They'll work with anyone who helps them move product or clean their dirty money.” Wikipedia describes cartels as alliances of independent drug lords who collaborate to dominate the illegal trade. Tyree saw firsthand how groups like the Sinaloa Cartel and Los Zetas waged bloody turf wars while smuggling narcotics across borders. Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “One day I could be moving fake loads of cocaine, the next day I'd be laundering millions in cash,” he recalled. “The psychological toll was real. You don't just walk away from that without scars.” Shattering the Hollywood Myths Much of what the public knows about undercover work comes from movies and TV. Tyree insists that reality is far different. “One big myth is that agents have to use drugs to prove themselves,” he said. “That's absolutely false. If you do that, you compromise the case. There are ways around those tests of loyalty, and we were trained to handle them.” Another misconception is that undercover life is constant action. In truth, many investigations stretched over a year or more. “Paperwork was just as important as the undercover work,” Tyree explained. “Evidence, lab reports, case files, that's what puts people in prison.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. As for agents going “soft” on their targets? Tyree dismisses the idea. “You might build rapport, but you never forget who you're dealing with. These are people who thrive on violence and greed.” Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. Even his own family didn't always know the full truth. “I kept a lot to myself,” he admitted. “Sometimes it was to protect them, sometimes just to keep them from worrying.” Battling Trauma, and Cancer The stress of living under a false identity, constantly under threat, took its toll. Tyree admits nervousness was a constant companion early on. “I had to learn techniques to stay calm, to stay focused,” he said. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. As his career wound down, Tyree faced a different kind of fight, cancer. “It was one of the toughest battles of my life, but the same resilience I built undercover helped me through it.” His Cancer diagnosis was the result of a dare and bet. He is a huge advocate for early and frequent health screenings. Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. Life After the DEA Today, Tyree is retired from the DEA but far from finished with his mission. He serves as a Senior Advisor on Financial Crime Detection and Anti-Money Laundering with Valid8 Financial and is an instructor with the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists. With 25 years of experience, he now uses his expertise to help financial institutions, government agencies, and law enforcement combat crime through Bank Secrecy Act, AML, KYC, and due diligence processes. Check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “Whether it was chasing cartels or building compliance systems, the goal has always been the same, protect people, protect society,” he said. Telling His Story Tyree now shares his story through interviews, news outlets, and guest appearances on podcasts like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio show and podcast, which is available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and mroe. His recent feature, Police Under Cover Truths, pulls back the curtain on undercover operations, addressing both the myths and the realities of life in deep cover. Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. He also connects with audiences check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, where he continues to educate others about the risks of organized crime and the importance of financial vigilance. “I don't glamorize what I did,” Tyree concluded. “It was dangerous, it was messy, and sometimes it was terrifying. But it was necessary. And if people can learn something from my career, whether it's about cartels, motorcycle gangs, or money laundering, then sharing these truths is worth it.” Be sure to check out our website .

The Big Four accounting firm KPMG has taken advantage of relaxed rules in Arizona to start a law firm there, but the company has broader ambitions outside of the state. KPMG says it doesn't want to compete with established players in the legal industry, but Big Law leaders are privately expressing concerns. That's according to Justin Henry, a Bloomberg Law reporter who's the guest on today's episode of our podcast, On The Merits. Henry talks about the legal work KPMG can do now and about the open question of whether it can operate outside of the Grand Canyon State. He also talks about the measures KPMG has taken to insulate its new law firm from the rest of its company, including having lawyers use separate entrances and exits at its Tempe, Ariz., office.

Guest: Alex Smereczniak— Serial entrepreneur, former CEO of 2ULaundry & Laundry Lab (over $100M valuation, 118 franchises sold), founder of Franzy (30,000+ monthly users, $3M+ raised to help people buy “cash-flowing” businesses). Early Hustles & First Big Win: Started with classic entrepreneurial pursuits: trading cards, washing cars as a kid, and then running a laundry delivery business (“Wake Wash”) in college, which he bought for $30,000 and sold for nearly $300,000 after systematizing and scaling it. Learned about discounted cash flow, buy/sell agreements, and the real value of recurring cash flow and business structure early on. Scaling, Strategy, and Differentiation: Moved from a student business to working for a Big Four consulting firm (Ernst & Young), but quickly realized he needed to build businesses—not just advise them. Launched 2ULaundry in 2016: delivered laundry/dry cleaning to homes and businesses, quickly scaling through tech and operations, later vertically integrating by building brick-and-mortar laundromats with Electrolux, and ultimately franchising the model for rapid growth. Grew Laundry Lab to 118 franchise awards and 30 locations open as of 2025. Laundromats as a Business Model: Low failure rate due to essential, “recession proof” services—people always need clean clothes—combined with cash-flow and passive income advantages. The “Power Play”: Buy from retiring owners, retool equipment over time, tap into durable local demand. Challenges, Automation & Venture Backing: Success meant more than cash-flow: his companies required operational discipline, vertical integration, and large capital outlays (laundromat builds exceed $1M). Venture capital was attracted by the “Uber for Laundry” home-delivery angle, but Alex's model matured into a blend of tech, local infrastructure, and scalable franchising. Why Franchising Needs Disruption — Enter Franzy: Traditional franchise placement is “Wild West,” with brokers sometimes pocketing up to 60% of franchise fees, influencing which opportunities new entrepreneurs see. Franzy's mission: Take a “Zillow for Franchising” approach—leverage AI for franchise matching (across 4000+ brands), standardized fees, and transparency to empower more everyday people to buy real businesses. Focuses on each buyer's risk profile, lifestyle, and goals; not just “make the most money,” but “fit the best business to the person.” Franchise Trends & Business Models to Watch: Still bullish on laundromats for certain profiles (cash-flow, de-risked, lifestyle), but now sees huge growth in health & wellness, home services, and viral consumer brands (e.g. PopUp Bagels, HRT clinics, anything innovating with AI or “cult” followings). Anticipates continued “displacement” of white-collar jobs by AI; business ownership, franchising, and “betting on yourself” are the safest long-term play for income and autonomy.

Big Four accounting firms are racing to integrate next-generation AI technology across their service lines and develop a talent strategy to match the industry's new era. KPMG is focused on making sure it's balancing efficiency gains because of artificial intelligence with long-term workforce development, according to Sandy Torchia, vice chair of talent and culture at KPMG US. The firm has created new learning opportunities for workers to teach them how to use AI to enhance career growth, she said. Like its competitors, KPMG has rolled out new autonomous AI that can accomplish tasks with minimal human intervention. The industry's next generation is taking note. The vast majority of KPMG's US interns expect at least 20% of their work to be automated by AI by the time they start full-time positions, according to the firm's recent survey. Torchia, who is also head of people for KPMG's Americas region, recently stepped into a new role as global co-head of people for KPMG International. She spoke with Bloomberg Tax reporter Jorja Siemons about how KPMG is helping employees adapt to an AI-led future, as well as the state of hybrid work and the CPA pipeline.

Cybersecurity & Compliance w/ Paige Hanson of Secure Labs - AZ TRT S06 EP15 (277) 8-17-2025       What We Learned This Week: A cybersecurity breach can cost more than just data—it can damage infrastructure and destroy client confidence. Even smaller companies (50–100 employees) need structured safeguards, compliance, and often outside MSSPs to stay secure.

Today's guest is Reena SenGupta, one of the true trailblazers in the legal world. She's executive director of RSGI, a global think tank focused on helping the legal industry build a more sustainable future. Reena's path into law and innovation wasn't exactly traditional. She started out running her family's business through a recession, which led to some eye-opening interactions with lawyers and ultimately to a career dedicated to reshaping the legal profession. For nearly three decades, Reena has been advising top law firms, the Big Four, law companies, and general counsel on strategy and innovation. She's behind some of the most influential legal rankings and initiatives out there, including Chambers & Partners, the FT Innovative Lawyers program, and the RSG India report.

When Konstantin Dzhengozov turned down a corporate development role in the U.S., he wasn't walking away from opportunity—he was running toward a different kind of growth. Having helped lead the FP&A function at a fast-scaling Bulgarian tech firm through its acquisition by a U.S. public company, Dzhengozov knew what came next if he stayed the course. But “the unknown… just felt right,” he tells us. So he stayed close to Bulgaria's booming startup scene—and co-founded Payhawk.In the early days of Payhawk, Dzhengozov was a one-man finance team, juggling everything from chart of accounts and payroll to fundraising and compliance. “You kind of become a bottleneck at some point,” he tells us. “The sooner you realize that, the better.” His approach: build ahead of need. His first finance hire brought Big Four audit expertise. Next came senior hires in FP&A and tax as the company expanded across Europe and the U.S.Rather than compete as another card issuer, Payhawk positioned itself as a software company from the start, charging a subscription to solve real pain points Dzhengozov had faced firsthand: poor data visibility, lack of control, and disjointed processes. The company's dual-revenue model and international-first mindset helped it raise $240 million and become Bulgaria's first unicorn, he tells us.Today, Dzhengozov envisions AI helping CFOs compress decision cycles and model complex scenarios instantly. Still, he remains grounded in principle: “Finance should be enabling the business to grow,” not just reporting on it.

Are you tired of feeling trapped in your 9-to-5, dreaming of a life where you call the shots? In this episode, I sit down with Rebecca Muriuki, a corporate exit strategist who traded her role as a Big Four audit firm director for the freedom of remote entrepreneurship—all while managing a thriving short-term rental business from Nairobi, Kenya.Rebecca's story isn't just about leaving the corporate world; it's about rewriting the rules of success. After years of climbing the ladder, she realized true fulfillment meant prioritizing family, fun, and freedom. Now, she's helping other women do the same—by building income streams that align with their values and unlock lifestyle freedom.We go deep into the mindset shifts required to break free from the golden handcuffs of traditional careers. Rebecca opens up about the identity crisis she faced after leaving corporate, how she manages properties remotely, and the practical steps she took to reclaim her time and power.What sets Rebecca apart is her holistic approach—this isn't just about investing in real estate and throwing a property on Airbnb, it's about recalibrating your entire relationship with money, success, and self-worth. If you've ever felt stuck or scared to make a leap, this episode is your permission slip. It's packed with honest insights, proven strategies, and the kind of motivation that will make you believe freedom isn't just a dream—it's a decision!

So that's what I did. I started building a business.” “It's such an interesting thing how sometimes when you look back hindsight, you realize some of the skill sets you don't actually realize you have.” “I really started to accept my values when I started to reflect on what were the things that totally pissed me off about my corporate job, things that annoyed me.” “Once I learned to live my life from the inside out and recognize that when I have internal abundance, the external abundance is a natural byproduct of it.” “What if this doesn't work? Yeah, there's a chance it couldn't work, but you also have the power to refine until it works.” “I would definitely put myself in rooms where you can see evidence that it's possible, because the environment has a big impact on your conditioning; which has a big impact on your thoughts, your belief system.” “Never compare yourself with others. Stay in your own lane. You are on your own journey.” Let's Connect! Podcast: https://richwomanrevolution.com/podcast Enjoyed the show? Subscribe, Rate, Review, Like, and Share!

Advertising is fundamental part of business and it's one that has been buffeted by the impacts of technology in both the path to markets and the management of its delivery. Creating a brand reputation and influencing consumers is the core function and analyst Natalie Colakides and Ian Whittaker, managing director of Liberty Sky Advisors, join host Eric Hanselman to discuss the nuances of advertising and technology's evolution around it. Shifts in media have had a profound effect - the reach of linear television media has decreased significantly, while digital advertising options have expanded. Businesses are looking to blend linear and streaming advertising, but it can be complex to make an effective distinction. There is significant global variation in media consumption and advertising potential. While the UK was the first market where digital spending overtook traditional, the European market is diverging from patterns in the U.S.. Many businesses are looking to AdTech to make the process more efficient, but there are limits its capabilities. Agencies still have a significant role to play, but the advertising buying and planning that has been a big part of their business could be under threat from advances delivered by AI. Enterprises have a lot to wrestle with, but they need to keep focused on the fundamental task of winning hearts and minds.   More S&P Global Content: Kagan Media and Telecom Summit event link   For S&P Global subscribers: Big Four ad agencies see mixed results due to macro uncertainty A sneak preview of the Kagan Media & Telecom Summit 2025 See it in charts: TV Networks, June 2025   Credits: Host/Author: Eric Hanselman Guests: Natalie Colakides, Ian Whittaker Producer/Editor: Adam Kovalsky Published With Assistance From: Sophie Carr, Feranmi Adeoshun, Kyra Smith

Randy Crabtree welcomes Nick Boscia, The Balanced CPA, to Episode 221 of The Unique CPA. Perhaps unsurprisingly considering that moniker, Nick, like Randy, is a big advocate of maintaining balance in your work and personal life, and they focus their discussion on using modernization and technology to improve that balance. Nick joined his father's CPA firm after several years at the Big Four and while he felt very out of control at first, he was able to put major efficiency gainers into place to the point where the firm has both grown to seven employees and he is able to take ten vacations a year. Setting boundaries and both physical and mental health have played a key role in Nick's professional success, and he talks about how firm owners can make that happen, while also being intentional about ensuring employees understand they are the first priority—even (and especially) above the firm's clients.  Get the full show notes and more resources at TheUniqueCPA.com

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop talks with Larry Diamond, co-founder of Healing with the Diamonds, about his journey from severe metabolic illness to vibrant health and his work helping others do the same. They explore topics like heart-brain coherence, the alchemical journey, insulin resistance, seed oils, and the deeper spiritual dimensions of healing, weaving in references to David Hawkins, Rupert Sheldrake, and the lost wisdom of the divine feminine. Larry shares insights on metabolic testing, ancestral eating, and the importance of authentic living, while also touching on the role of parasites—his term for the forces keeping humanity in fear and incoherence. You can find more about Larry and his work, as well as access his consulting, at healingwiththediamonds.com, on Instagram and Facebook at Healing with the Diamonds, or listen in iTunes to his upcoming podcast.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop introduces Larry Diamond of Healing with the Diamonds; they discuss his healing journey, health coaching, and the meaning of heart-brain coherence.05:00 Alchemical journey, crystals, the hero's journey, integrating masculine and feminine energies, and the idea of parasites feeding on fear.10:00 Kindness vs niceness, morphic fields, Rupert Sheldrake's theories, and quantum entanglement as evidence of interconnectedness.15:00 Scientism vs true science, metabolic illness, citizen science, Larry's 2013 health transformation.20:00 Metabolic syndrome, C-reactive protein, fasting insulin, insulin resistance, and Larry's weight loss story.25:00 Seed oils, refined carbs, ultra-processed foods, and strategies for restoring metabolic health.30:00 Carb cycling, primal eating, intuitive healing, and ancestral wisdom.35:00 Spirituality beyond religion, Yeshua vs Jesus, divine feminine, and writing your own gospel.40:00 Living authentically, kindness in daily life, and finding healing in sovereignty and connection.Key InsightsLarry Diamond shares how his journey from severe metabolic illness to vibrant health became the foundation for Healing with the Diamonds. He explains how hitting rock bottom in 2013 inspired him to reject mainstream dietary advice and embrace a primal, whole foods approach that reversed his insulin resistance and helped him lose over 100 pounds.A major theme of the conversation is heart-brain coherence, which Larry describes as essential for true wisdom and discernment. He connects this to ancient teachings, referencing Yeshua's “sword of discernment” and suggesting that Western culture intentionally suppressed this knowledge to keep people in fear and mental fragmentation.The episode explores the alchemical journey as a metaphor for inner transformation, likening it to Joseph Campbell's hero's journey. Larry emphasizes integrating masculine and feminine energies and overcoming ego as key steps in remembering our divine nature and embodying authenticity.Larry critiques scientism, which he calls the inversion of true science, and encourages listeners to reclaim citizen science as a path to health sovereignty. He shares practical tools like testing for C-reactive protein, A1C, fasting insulin, and using triglycerides-to-HDL ratios to assess metabolic health.He identifies the “Big Four” dietary culprits—seed oils, refined carbs, ultra-processed foods, and sugar—as drivers of chronic illness and advocates returning to ancestral foods rich in natural fats and nutrients. He stresses that flavor and enjoyment are critical for sustainable healing.On the spiritual side, Larry reframes the Abrahamic religions as distortions of deeper wisdom traditions, contrasting the figure of Yeshua (aligned with love and sovereignty) with the institutionalized Jesus narrative. He highlights the divine feminine, Sophia, as a source of intuition and co-creation with the cosmos.Finally, Larry encourages listeners to “write your own gospel and live your own myth,” seeing authentic, kind, and sovereign living as both a spiritual and practical act of resistance to what he calls the parasite class—forces of fear and manipulation seeking to block human awakening.

Show Notes: Brian Stollery talks about AlphaSense, an information provider that independent consultants and boutique firms are using to gain an edge over those who rely on chat GPT or consumer LLM tools. AlphaSense is built for this kind of work, pulling in verified content such as industry reports, broker research filings, earnings calls, expert calls, news, and internal research and internal content. It layers this with market-leading AI functionality that can read and synthesize all of it to deliver consulting-grade insights at scale. AlphaSense Explained Brian clarifies that AlphaSense is not primarily an expert network like AlphaSights, but rather a market company and enterprise intelligence search engine for the AI generation. It offers the depth and breadth of authoritative data that would be obtained from a legacy research platform with the intuitive user experience of modern AI tools. The value of AlphaSense lies in the deep, authoritative content set that is the foundation of AlphaSense, along with the speed and accuracy of the AI that allows users to quickly surface relevant insights. Brian also talks about the major categories of sources of proprietary information that feed into AlphaSense. The AlphaSense Platform The AlphaSense platform features an index where users can go to different things, such as portfolio monitors, research topics, expert insights, news, risk signals on consumer tech growth investment strategy, events, company documents, and talent job executive movements. The dashboard includes eight or nine widgets that provide a list of seven or eight articles on various topics. These articles are sourced from various sources, such as news articles or interviews with experts. The platform also has over 200,000 free recorded, transcribed expert calls, which are added to the library for analysis by the AI. How AlphaSense Gathers Information The interviewers are usually conducted by-side analysts, corporate users, and experts in respective fields. They work with corporate development teams and head of corporate strategy to conduct these interviews. The platform believes that a rising tide lifts all boats, and every expert call that happens throughout the AlphaSense is published back in the platform to further enhance and grow its library of expert calls from subject matter experts who are currently active in their industry.   AlphaSense Use Cases In management consulting, AlphaSense may not be suitable for calls that would be better suited to AlphaSights where the information is sensitive or should have restricted access.  However, the use case for AlphaSense is for commercial due diligence for private equity, where it allows users to get up to speed for engagement and quickly search across benchmark expert perspectives. This allows them to bolster their expertise within the management consulting space. AlphaSense is an institutional grade content engine that consolidates information from various sources, including expert calls, news, research reports, broker research, and more. It offers over 6000 vetted business and market news sources and trade journals, most of which require paywalls. AlphaSense allows users to bypass these paywalls and provides real-time insights from over 700 partners.   The AlphaSense Dashboard The dashboard includes relevant documents related to executive movements, risk signals, growth, and investment strategies. Users can explore the dashboard by searching for trigger words related to their watchlist of consumer tech companies. The AI can then pull relevant documents, such as expert insights, event transcripts, press releases, and news, to provide valuable insights for business development or due diligence. The Executive Search Function The document search module within AlphaSense allows users to get forensic insights from relevant documents, such as executive search, talent, and hiring practices. The AI can also generate summary responses, which are useful for top-tier consulting use cases. However, the AI may sometimes make a guess or hallucination if an answer is not available. This is why the Big Three and Big Four rely on AlphaSense for their consulting use cases. The AlphaSense Research Tool The AlphaSense generative search tool is a research analyst team in a box. The tool is designed to answer macro business questions, such as market size or pricing trends. Brian checks McKinsey, Bain and BCG's performance in 2025, including their revenue, talent, hiring, and growth areas. The AI agent breaks down these questions into subquestions and finds 3000 documents across the content library. It then extracts documents from expert calls, press releases, investor relations presentations, research reports, and sustainability reports. The AI outputs a summary of the documents. The tool is particularly useful for understanding the performance of consulting firms like McKinsey Bain and BCG. Quality Sources and Quantitative Data AlphaSense provides bullet points on McKinsey, revenue, growth, talent, and hiring, with links to expert calls and other sources of data. The AI outputs are deep linked and cited to the source, ensuring accuracy. For instance, McKinsey Sciences for Growth, a 2025 focus, integrates tech-enabled capabilities and AI. BCG reported $13.5 billion in 2024 revenue, achieving 10% global growth and expanding its workforce to 33,000 employees. AlphaSense also has sentence-level citations, ensuring every sentence is deep linked and cited to its source. AlphaSense uses various models from partners like open AI, sonnet four, and Gemini 2.5, all grounded in high-quality, relevant documents. The tool's intelligence selects the best model based on the use case, whether it's reasoning-based or quantitative or qualitative. The AI is a comprehensive market-leading library of authoritative content that consultants care about. Modes of Research and Meeting Prep for Management Consultants Brian shares the typical use cases for management consultants using generative search platforms. He highlights two modes: think longer and deep research. Brian used generative search to prepare for a meeting with a client at a mid-sized consulting firm, focusing on digital strategy. The AI summarized transcripts, expert calls, earnings calls, and press releases from iHeart, highlighting the company's focus on technology, digitization, and AI-enabled automation as the key to cost savings and digital revenue acceleration. The platform also offers an iPhone app for on-the-go access to insights. The AI analyzed bullet points and planned insights on every section, creating a comprehensive competitive intelligence report. The report includes chatter on core service offerings, engagement models, pricing structures, sector specialization, news partnerships, partnerships, and tech bets.    AlphaSense's Generative Grid Brian talks about using AlphaSense's generative grid, which is a generative AI-powered spreadsheet to aggregate documents and interrogate them. This is useful for tracking executive compensation and performance components for target accounts. The grid allows consulting users to analyze past performance and understand the current climate. Another use case is connecting consulting, transformation, and strategic advisory services to key performance indicators, such as free cash flow, human capital, strategic objectives, or EBITDA. By attaching value drivers directly to performance components, consultants can focus on adjusted EBITDA growth, cost optimization, Target, discover integration execution drive, adjusted ROTC, and revenue growth tied to executive compensation. AlphaSense for Understanding Business Development Brian explains that the use cases and projects of consultants using AlphaSense  vary, but one major use case is business development understanding. It helps in identifying companies' propensity for M&A or divestitures, such as changes in management or new strategic initiatives. AlphaSense also offers a deal scanner for M&A consultants looking at acquisitions or private equity deals across a portfolio of companies or industries. It also provides due diligence services, such as meeting prep, company research, trend analysis, market assessment, client benchmarking, and sentiment analysis. Alpha Sense's Access to Information Providers AlphaSense has access to SEC filings, newspapers, trade journals, investment bank coverage, and reports. AlphaSense also has access to other information providers like CrunchBase, capital, IQ, and Pitch Book. The Venn diagram highlights the overlap of information between AlphaSense and other information providers, such as CrunchBase, Morningstar, and CrunchBase. If a company's revenue or employee count is in CrunchBase, it can be accessed via AlphaSense. Alpha Sense vs. Capital IQ The conversation turns to the differences between AlphaSense and Capital IQ, a financial reporting platform. AlphaSense is an end-to-end intelligence engine that provides access to investment banking reports, but it requires downloading them one by one. It is not possible to search across all content sets at once. Capital IQ, on the other hand, offers valuable structured data, is great for downloading Industry Reports, and is a strategic database of financials and filings.

Sur ses 23 championnats, il en a gagné 22. Nikola Karabatic est probablement le sportif français le plus consistant.Mais il y a un prix à payer : dans cet épisode, il se livre sur ses batailles mentales et les difficultés pour atteindre le sommet.Issu d'une famille de sportifs d'origine serbe et croate, Nikola baigne dans le handball depuis l'enfance : son père Branko était joueur et entraîneur, et son frère Luka, fait un virage par le tennis avant de le rejoindre au top du Handball Français.C'est ainsi qu'est née la légende des frères Karabatic.À 10 ans, Nikola, l'aîné, décide qu'il deviendra le meilleur joueur au monde.Soutenu par ses proches et ses coachs, il s'impose très tôt une discipline de fer : muscu, course, étirements, école… il veut sans cesse faire plus et mieux.“J'avais cette volonté d'avoir l'autre en face et d'être presque à la vie ou à la mort sur un terrain.”Mais ce qui a vraiment fait la différence selon lui, c'est l'attitude et la gestion des émotions, longtemps absente du sport de haut niveau. Grâce à cette maîtrise, il est resté au sommet de son sport jusqu'à ses 40 ans.Sa seule vraie défaite ? Le tout dernier match de sa carrière, une défaite amère en quart de finale des JO de Paris 2024.Aujourd'hui, il entame une nouvelle vie, sans regrets, avec la volonté de transmettre ce qu'il a appris à travers son association, ses activités de consultants et ses livres.Nikola partage les coulisses de sa carrière : ses victoires, ses blessures, l'affaire des paris truqués… et surtout, ses meilleurs conseils pour tenir sur la durée.Un échange fort, avec un homme généreux et déterminé, pour mieux comprendre la vie des sportifs de haut niveau — et apprendre à dépasser ses propres blocages, dans tous les domaines.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : L'influence du père Karabatic00:19:23 : Faire du sport une affaire familiale et la force d'une mère00:34:11 : Conseils pour les jeunes qui ont faim de victoires00:41:41 : Comment s'entraîner pour être le meilleur00:53:16 : L'autocritique pour progresser dans sa discipline00:59:27 : L'importance des émotions dans le sport01:05:00 : La préparation mentale et le lapsus dépression/commotion01:20:22 : L'affaire des paris truqués01:27:08 : Pourquoi la méditation n'est pas la solution à tout01:39:03 : L'attitude du coach qui a transformé sa mentalité01:51:10 : L'atroce défaite des JO01:57:15 : La stratégie dans les sports collectifs et le génie de l'entraîneur02:05:25 : La (vraie) hygiène de vie d'un sportif professionnel02:15:52 : La nouvelle vie de Nikola02:26:10 : Le modèle Yannick NoahLes anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #405 - Nicolas Santi-Weil - Ami Paris & The Kooples - “Si tu n'arrives pas à en faire un client fais-en un ami”#158 Edgar Grospiron - Athlète et conférencier - Avance, fais-toi confiance.#COVID-19 - 5 Pierre Chausse - Gérer 420 journalistes confiné dans un appartement , avec 4 enfants et une femme médecin#364 - Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - Tennisman - Le 5ème des Big Four#137 - Yannick Noah - Parler doucement pour se faire entendre fortNous avons parlé de :Karabatic Demain (association)Branko Karabatic (son père et joueur de hand)Radmila Karabatic (sa mère)Luka Karabatic (son frère et joueur de hand)g r k : le cabinet de conseil de Grégoire KoppRocky IV (film)Zvonimir Serdarušić (coach de hand)Thierry Henry chez Diary of a CEOMichael Phelps chez Tim FerrissAaron Rodgers, quarterback insaisissable (Netflix)Combien ça gagne (le podcast de Clémence)Séquence de Tirs aux buts contre LiverpoolAnthony Robbins (programmation neurolinguistique)TeampactJessy PilatesPetit BamBouRaymondo (Reserva Extrativista Chico Mendes)Nikola, consultant pour beIN SportsLes recommandations de lecture :Les Frères Karabatic (BD)Notre histoire d'amour avec le handball (Illustré)La couleur des émotionsLe pouvoir du moment présentLes extraordinaires pouvoirs du ventreOpen (d'Agassi)Secrets, etc (de Noah)Vous pouvez contacter Nikola sur LinkedIn ici, sur Instagram ici, ou par mail à nikokarapro@gmail.com.Vous souhaitez sponsoriser Génération Do It Yourself ou nous proposer un partenariat ?Contactez mon label Orso Media via ce formulaire.Distribué par Audiomeans.

Nattering E and Pals #3: Torrey and Eric Discuss Trades and Free Agency in the big four by Visionaries Global Media

What happens when AI agents promise to transform accounting but create more cognitive burden than productivity gains? Blake and David explore the reality behind the AI agent hype as QuickBooks, Digits, and Big Four firms launch their "digital teammates." They also dig into Xero's massive $2.5 billion acquisition of Melio and what it means for the payments landscape. You'll learn why managing AI agents might be like managing offshore contractors—you wake up to work that's 80% done but everyone has questions. Plus, they discuss how external investors are reshaping the profession, why traditional CPA protections might go the way of car dealership laws, and the ongoing problems with audit quality enforcement despite millions in PCAOB fines.Sponsors Cloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/cas Human at Scale - http://accountingpodcast.promo/humanChapters(00:00) - Introduction and Welcome (00:42) - David's Return and Big News (01:01) - The Acquisition of Emilio by Xero (01:33) - Implications of the Acquisition (04:52) - David's Journey with Bill Pay Solutions (06:42) - Emilio's Unique Features and Market Impact (10:47) - Xero's New Features and Updates (20:56) - QuickBooks AI Agents: A Game Changer?

As we are about to have the 4th of July, The Drive ranked the best four holidays we have.

 This is Zack Fuss. Today, we are breaking down Nexstar Media Group. Nexstar controls more local television stations than any other company in the US. This industry has experienced substantial consolidation, which has reshaped itself over the past decade and ultimately culminated in the emergence of businesses like Nexstar as the preeminent station group outside of the Big Four.  My guest today is Simeon McMillan, founder of media-focused research firm Accrued Interest. He's held roles as a banker and executive within prominent television, cable, and radio businesses, including Univision Networks and Media Co. In this discussion, we will examine the foundational structure of the broadcast television industry, tracing its evolution from the pre-Internet hub-and-spoke model of the major networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox. Simeon breaks down the revenue streams that sustain this ecosystem and how subscriber fees from multi-channel video programming distributors like YouTube TV and Comcast cable are distributed among the networks and their affiliates. We also address the impact of cord-cutting on subscribers and how those viewership metrics impact pricing power within the television ecosystem. Please enjoy this Breakdown of Nexstar Media.

What happens when 19 states simultaneously abandon the 150-hour CPA requirement while tariffs create unprecedented uncertainty for CFOs? Blake and CFO.com reporter Adam Zaki explore the rapid transformation of CPA licensure—from New York's recent changes to the coordinated state-by-state rollout that followed Barry Melancon's AICPA retirement. You'll discover how political and economic volatility is driving demand for accounting services, why the PCAOB may disappear in the Senate's tax bill, and how AI is reshaping audit teams while raising questions about the future value of CPAs. Plus, insights on navigating everything from reciprocal tariffs to the SEC's new chief accountant.Sponsors Cloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/cas Human at Scale - http://accountingpodcast.promo/humanChapters(01:38) - Tariffs and Their Impact on CFOs (03:19) - Supreme Court and Tariff Legalities (05:47) - Economic Impact of Tariffs and Inflation (08:09) - Geopolitical Conflicts and Economic Uncertainty (11:17) - Federal Reserve and Economic Policies (18:51) - CPA Pipeline and 150 Hour Rule Changes (33:08) - Chief Accountant at the SEC (40:11) - Smart Moves by Congress: Nonprofit Pay Scales (40:44) - The Impact of Budget Cuts on PCAOB (41:34) - Challenges in Government Oversight (42:02) - Senate's Big Bill: Key Changes and Controversies (46:25) - Tax Implications and Political Dynamics (52:42) - Business Deductions and Higher Education (55:40) - AI in Accounting: Transforming the Big Four (57:37) - The Future of Accounting Education (01:02:10) - AI's Role in Auditing and the Future Workforce (01:05:19) - The Impact of Automation on Jobs and Society (01:15:48) - Concluding Thoughts and Future Outlook  Show NotesSupreme Court Challenge to Trump Tariffs by Toy Companies https://www.reuters.com/legal/supreme-court-trump-tariffs-toy-companies-challengeConsumer Price Index Impact of Current Tariffs https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htmNew York State CPA Licensure Reform Legislation https://www.nysscpa.org/news/publications/the-trusted-professional/article/new-york-cpa-licensure-reform-passes-legislaturePennsylvania CPA Pathway Bill Senate Approval https://www.picpa.org/articles/advocacy/cpa-pathway-legislation-senate-approvalMaine CPA Exam Requirements Change https://www.maine.gov/pfr/professionallicensing/professions/accountants/cpa-exam-requirementsCFO.com State-by-State CPA Licensure Tracker https://www.cfo.com/news/cpa-licensure-changes-state-tracker-2025Kurt Hoel Appointed SEC Chief Accountant https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2025-89AICPA Barry Melancon Retirement Impact Analysis https://www.journalofaccountancy.com/news/2025/01/melancon-retirement-cpa-pipeline-changesSenate Modifications to Big Beautiful Bill https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1/actionsAvalara 2025 Accountants Confidence Report https://www.avalara.com/us/en/resources/reports/2025-accountants-confidence-reportPCAOB Elimination Implications Analysis https://www.pcaobus.org/oversight/inspections/implications-elimination-analysisKPMG Clara AI Audit Platform Interview https://www.cfo.com/news/kpmg-thomas-mackenzie-clara-ai-audit-interviewPwC USA Tax Leader Agentic AI Implementation https://www.cfo.com/news/pwc-tax-agentic-ai-implementation-2025Bill.com Small Business Paperless Survey 2030 https://www.bill.com/resources/small-business-paperless-2030-surveyUniversal Technical Institute CFO Interview https://www.cfo.com/news/uti-cfo-future-higher-education-interviewNeed CPE?Get CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark: https://earmarkcpe.comSubscribe to the Earmark Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.comLearn more about Adam Zaki: Website: https://www.cfo.com/editors/azaki/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamzakinycGet in TouchThanks for listening and the great reviews!
