Podcasts about business owners

In this episode of Business Lunch, we walk you through the ins and outs of managing business finances. We explain the potential pitfalls of keeping more than a month's worth of operating expenses in the account. We explain how that can lead to complacency and unnecessary spending. We also explain how business can cover unexpected events and tricky payroll situations, like those pesky months with three payroll cycles or prepaying for holidays. We go beyond the glamor of being an entrepreneur to the real details behind the scenes.Highlights:"We're very big on lifestyle and freedom and all those kinds of things. But it's also important to acknowledge that it's not a perfect situation very often.""There are times when things are absolutely amazing. And there's times when things could frankly be a hell of a lot better. And I think that's called life. I think that's called entrepreneurship""If we're buying a business, I hate the agreement part. I love negotiation and strategy. But when it comes to reading a 75-page document, I just absolutely can't stand it."Timestamps:00:00 - Operating Account Insight01:15 - Personal Calendar Reflection02:15 - Acknowledging Imperfections03:15 - Loving Strategy but Hating Legal Work06:52 - The Reality of Entrepreneurship07:39 - Cyclicality in Business08:54 - Handling Excess Profit10:20 - Minimum Operating Reserve10:37 - Importance of Operational Cash10:44 - Prepaying Payroll ChallengesConnect with me on social:TikTok: Check out my TikTok HereInstagram: Check out my Instagram HereFacebook: Check out my Facebook HereLinkedIn: Check out my LinkedIn HereSubscribe to my YouTube

Welcome to another episode of Freedom In Five Minutes!

Yet most entrepreneurs are STILL making the same fatal mistakes Michael Gerber warned about decades ago. The E-Myth Lessons Still Breaking Businesses:

MY NEWSLETTER - https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeJoin me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Amanda Orson (https://x.com/amandaorson). We dive deep into how massive efficiency gains from AI are revolutionizing startups, allowing companies to run much leaner than ever before. Amanda explains her approach of Seed strapping—taking outside capital just once to get the initial product, like Navigator or the B2B directory, off the ground, and then relying on rapid revenue reinvestment to accelerate growth and preserve equity.She reveals that between 50% and 60% of their code is now AI generated, and we discuss the possibility of the first single person unicorn company. We focus heavily on practical AI frameworks, including how Amanda uses ChatGPT's operator as a "proof of concept" to validate whether or not a function can be automated before investing further.We break down the differences between using ChatGPT versus Claude, with Amanda emphasizing that Claude is often superior for creating "tighter" projects that involve deep research and dynamic artifacts. Plus, she shares her incredible "cheat code" for turning historical figures or admired business leaders—like Edwin Land or Elon Musk—into specialized AI thought partners by curating their transcripts and distillations. She even offers a starting point for any business owner looking to dive into AI for the first time.Enjoy the conversation!__________________________Questions This Episode Answers:What is Seed strapping and how can it help founders preserve equity?How much leaner can a modern company run now that AI can generate code?What is the "genius framework" for using operator to validate the feasibility of automation?How can you use Claude projects to create a specialized AI thought partner out of business idols?Should you use ChatGPT or Claude as your primary AI workhorse for data projects?__________________________Love it or hate it, I'd love your feedback.Please fill out this brief survey with your opinion or email me at nik@cofounders.com with your thoughts.__________________________MY NEWSLETTER: https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeSpotify: https://tinyurl.com/5avyu98yApple: https://tinyurl.com/bdxbr284YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/nikonomicsYT__________________________This week we covered:00:00 The Rise of AI and Its Impact on Business02:55 Seed Strapping: A New Approach to Funding06:07 Leveraging AI for Efficiency and Growth09:04 Using AI as a Thought Partner11:51 Data Management and Analysis with AI15:06 The Future of AI in Business17:58 Practical Applications of AI Tools21:10 Navigating AI for Business Owners

In this episode, we have Shona Bell, a Certified Public Accountant and financial strategist, return to discuss an often-overlooked secret to funding major life goals, like starting a franchise or investing in real estate: a permanent cash balance policy. Her focus is on educating business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs about setting up their finances the right way and strategically keeping taxes in mind, moving beyond basic CFO services to holistic financial planning and legacy building. Shona highlights a major gap: many people lack a dedicated financial planner after leaving corporate life or simply aren't aware of advanced financial strategies.  A critical takeaway from Shona is debunking the misconception that wealth building is something you do only after you become wealthy, or that it costs "so much" to start. She stresses that it takes intention, not a massive bankroll, and encourages people to overcome "money trauma" and apprehension.  Website: www.beyondacountingtax.com LinkedIn: shona-bell Previous Episode: iam1383-accountant-helps-business-owners-accelerate-their-financial-mindset Check out our CEO Hack Buzz Newsletter–our premium newsletter with hacks and nuggets to level up your organization.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with my good friend, business strategist, consultant and author, Jessica Lackey, for a candid conversation about what it really takes to build a sustainable business—especially when you have an ADHD-ish brain. Jessica shares her journey from Harvard, McKinsey, and Nike to the wild world of entrepreneurship, revealing how even with such impressive credentials, she found herself trapped in the endless loop of online business tactics, quick fixes, and shiny promises.Drawing on her upcoming book, Leaving the Casino: Stop Betting on Tactics, and Start Building a Business That Works, Jessica explains why so many of us end up gambling away our sanity (and savings) on the latest tactics, instead of building actual strategies that work for our lives and brains. Get ready for frameworks, real talk about defining your own version of success, and practical advice on bringing more intentionality and enoughness into your business (and life). It's time to leave the casino behind—and reclaim your agency.Top Takeaways from this Episode:Start with Strategy, Not Tactics: The endless cycle of purchasing the latest digital course or marketing hack often leads to overwhelm, wasted resources, and lost confidence. Sustainable businesses are built on strategy and thoughtful decision-making, not reactive, one-size-fits-all tactics.Ask Yourself the Big Questions: Before chasing the next big thing, get clarity on key fundamentals:What type of business do you really want to run?What stage are you in?What is the right pace and amount for your life and brain?What level of responsibility and commitment matches your reality?What does “enough” look like for you? These questions ground your business in reality instead of fantasy.Don't Compare Your Solo Journey to the Big Players: The polished marketers often have large teams and structures flattening out the chaos. If you're a team of one (especially with an ADHD-ish brain), your output and path will—and should—look different.There's power in slowing down, cutting through the noise, and building a business that fits you—not a casino of empty promises.About Jessica Lackey Jessica Lackey is the founder of Deeper Foundations, a consulting and training firm that helps expertise-based business owners grow and scale sustainable companies rooted in stronger business foundations.

If you've ever wondered whether an ESOP could be the right succession or liquidity strategy for your business, this episode breaks it down in practical, owner-friendly terms. ESOPs continue to gain traction among business owners, advisors, and management teams looking for a tax-advantaged way to transition ownership while preserving company culture and leadership continuity. In this conversation, we take a clear-eyed look at how ESOPs actually work, who they're right for, and the real impact they can have on company performance. In this episode of Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder, I'm joined by Kelly Finnell, president of Executive Financial Services and author of The ESOP Coach. Kelly has spent decades helping business owners evaluate ESOPs as part of their succession planning, and he brings both technical knowledge and real-world experience to the table. We discuss: The biggest myths and misconceptions business owners have about ESOPs How ESOPs compare to private equity, competitor sales, and management buyouts The traits that make a company a strong candidate for an ESOP – and the red flags How ESOP valuation works and how trustees influence deal dynamics What business owners should know about deal structure The cultural impact of employee ownership and why engagement tends to improve How leadership should communicate an ESOP to build an ownership mindset The key tax advantages that set ESOPs apart from other succession options Where ESOP efforts tend to go off track and what owners should watch for Whether you're a business owner planning ahead, a manager interested in ownership culture, or an advisor guiding clients through succession decisions, this episode provides a grounded, actionable look at ESOPs from someone who has been in the trenches.

Most people, especially business owners, think of a 401(k) as a basic retirement benefit. A place to stash some money for later years. Something you get once you have "enough" employees. But as 401(k) specialist Matt Rutenberg explains, that traditional view is wildly outdated. Today's 401(k) rules allow far more flexibility, far bigger tax advantages, and far more wealth-building potential than most business owners ever realize. Matt joins the show (two Matts, yay!) to walk through how modern 401(k)s actually work, and why almost everything you assume about them is inaccurate. He explains how plan design shapes how much you really get to save, how small business owners and even solopreneurs can legally contribute far more than they think, and how strategic layers like profit sharing, cash-balance plans, and self-directed investing change the game entirely.
