Building a successful client accounting services practice isn't just about choosing the right software or pricing model — it starts with the clients you choose and how openly you communicate with your team about what drives profit.In this episode, co-hosts Damien Greathead and Penny Breslin field listener questions on some of the most pressing operational challenges facing CAS firm owners today. The conversation opens with a deceptively simple question: how much should your team know about client profitability? Penny and Damien unpack why sharing the profitability of services — rather than individual client financials — can help your team understand the impact of scope creep, delays and inefficiency, without exposing sensitive numbers.From there, they dig into the real-world damage caused by clients who chronically delay. Penny shares how repeated bottlenecks from a handful of clients can derail an entire workflow, stress the team and block the path to higher-value advisory work. They discuss practical strategies for identifying the root cause of delays — whether it's missing documents or unanswered questions — and adapting your communication method to suit each client.The episode also covers the case for vertical specialisation, with real examples of firms that specialised in breweries, dental practices and restaurants, including how deep industry knowledge helped one firm help clients pivot through COVID lockdowns. Damien and Penny close with a candid discussion on AI's actual impact on accounting workflows and the realities of using offshore teams, including why team buy-in matters more than client perception.IN THIS EPISODEUnderstand why service-level profitability matters more than client-level profitability — and how to share that insight with your team without exposing sensitive financial dataIdentify and manage chronic client delays before they derail your entire workflow and block the path to advisory workSeparate "missing information" from "missing documents" in your workflow statuses to diagnose the real cause of bottlenecksDiscover how vertical specialisation can sharpen your marketing, reduce overheads and make your firm the go-to expert in an industryHear real examples of firms that specialised and thrived — including a restaurant specialist who helped clients pivot to distilleries during COVID lockdownsLearn how to respond when clients ask whether AI should reduce your fees — and why the reality of AI in bookkeeping is far messier than the marketing suggestsUnderstand what it takes to make offshore teams successful — and why internal team buy-in matters more than client perceptionExplore how to communicate the value of monthly CAS services to clients who only see the worth of annual compliance workCompanies mentioned in this episode:Moneypennyllc.comQuickBooksXero
Send us Fan MailIn episode #194 Dr. Cas Fuchs joins Kyla to break down a 2025 crossover study on carbohydrate intake, liver glycogen, and muscle glycogen recovery after exhaustive cycling. The episode focuses on what 10 grams per kilo of body mass actually does in a 12-hour recovery window, and why the liver refills much faster than muscle. They also cover how glycogen is measured with MRI and MRS, why sucrose was used in the recovery protocol, and what this means for stage-race fueling, carb loading, and sleep between efforts.KEY TAKEAWAYSDr. Cas Fuchs shares his background in human physiology, sports nutrition, and elite cycling research, including work in Maastricht and with Team Visma Lease a Bike.In this episode: why the liver is less studied than muscle, and how MRI plus MRS can estimate glycogen without relying only on biopsy.They discuss the 2025 crossover study in 12 well-trained male cyclists using exhaustive cycling, then 12 hours of either no carbohydrate or 10 grams per kilo of carbohydrate.In the no-carb condition, both liver and muscle glycogen stayed low after exercise, showing little to no recovery over 12 hours.In the carb-fed condition, liver glycogen was restored within 6 hours, but muscle glycogen was still not fully replenished at 12 hours.Cas explains why sucrose was used early in recovery: the glucose plus fructose mix is especially effective for liver glycogen repletion.They discuss practical fueling for stage races, including the role of immediate post-race carbs, overnight recovery, breakfast, and the importance of sleep.Kyla and Cas compare the study protocol to real-world elite cycling, where riders may ingest very high daily carbohydrate intakes, often spread across the bike, recovery, and meals.They explore how personalized carbohydrate needs may vary by body size, muscle mass, race role, and how much glycogen an athlete actually uses.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.ABOUT DR. CAS FUCHS:Dr. Cas Fuchs is an assistant professor in the Department of Human Biology. His research primarily focuses on skeletal muscle metabolism, with an emphasis on recovery, muscle adaptation, and atrophy.He investigates how nutrition (carbohydrates, proteins) and interventions such as cooling and heating influence muscle recovery and adaptation. Additionally, he studies muscle atrophy resulting from aging and inactivity and evaluates strategies to preserve muscle mass and function under these conditions.For his research, he employs advanced techniques, including stable isotope tracer methodology and Magnetic Resonance Imaging/Spectroscopy.FREE RESOURCES:Free Recovery Protocol: https://mailchi.mp/nutritional-revolution.com/recovery-protocolFOLLOW DR.

Tax season looked different in 2026, and it's not just volume. In this episode, Damien Greathead and Penny Breslin unpack the real AI story inside accounting firms: a live test of Juno saved 25% of prep time, clients are submitting documents faster than ever, and AI meeting assistants are replacing manual notetaking. But the bigger conversation is about critical thinking. As AI handles more routine work, who's making sure your team can still spot the anomaly? Identify the conflict? Give a client a real perspective? Damien shares how Moneypenny is gamifying judgment, hiring non-accountants, and rebuilding firm roles around advisory rather than compliance. This is a practitioner episode — real tools, real results, real friction. If you're building or scaling a CAS practice, this one is essential listening.Thank you to our sponsors MoneyPenny, LLC.

Scaling New Heights Podcast: Cutting Edge Training For Small Business Advisors
On this episode of the Woodard Report podcast, Heather speaks with Peter McCarroll about why accounting firms must treat AI adoption as a strategic business transformation rather than simply adding new software tools. Peter explains the pricing pressures threatening traditional compliance work, the need to redesign firms around advisory value and human relationships, and how reusable AI instructions and skills can help teams turn individual experimentation into shared, repeatable processes. About Peter McCarroll Peter McCarroll is a Chartered Accountant (NZ), CPA (Canada), and the founder of The AI Accountant — the only AI training and implementation platform built exclusively for CAS practices. He runs a full-service accounting practice at Fuel Accountants, where he has spent the past two years deploying AI across real client workflows.

Lured Up Podcast 401: The Highest Bidder Live Streamed on -7/21/2026 Publish Date - 7/23/2026 Listen to this episode ad free on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/PokemonProfessor The dust has finally settled from the 10th Anniversary Event in NYC and GO Fest Global Weekend. We have a ton to unpack and discuss as the community has had some time to respond to the madness that was the last week. It was pretty wild to see the community turn on itself in anger. The creators were up first to feel the flames as it seemed the Community Ambassadors would come out untouched. Then… The Times Square Mewtwo hit eBay and things went nuts. People forgot about being mad at creators and turned on the CAs and their communities. RaspberryWeiner broke some news about finding out the in-game name of one of the sellers who even came forward to apologize and say that he didn't know selling a Pokémon on eBay was against any rules. It was wild to watch as the internet delivered another reason for the X-mob to dislike the event. We stuck around NYC to play GO Fest Global, where we put ourselves under a massive challenge to walk all the way from Bryant Park in Manhattan to Industry City, Brooklyn and back. Let's just say our dogs were barking and we were just about out of gas when we got back to Bryant Park. Huge shout to LeBro for making the journey with us to Brooklyn. We were very surprised by the gameboard at the Community Celebration, as it seemed to be 90% Gyms. You could feel the lack of Lures as the spawns seemed pretty thin. It was a pretty cool setting, but definitely was a departure from the park style play that we have seen before. Scopely Explore did have a first this week, and that was the announcement of their first make up event under their new name! In all seriousness, the community is buzzing in a positive way about the make up GO Fest Raids being a global make up. They are even throwing in a bunch of Raid passes to boot.The Scopely Effect is becoming more and more noticeable, and we are loving that even when parts of the community can feel a little rough around the edges, the masses online still seem to be rowing in the same direction as the developer. The pacing and event calendar for the rest of the month into August is already looking packed. With Ultra Unlocks, new Shinies, and plenty of things to do, there is definitely no rest for the weary. The focus on IRL play with a consistent spattering of very remote friendly events have created a nice balance for different types of Trainers to come together. Before we wrap up we have a few listener emails and a voicemail to play, with SerAmanda bringing a banger of a protip in the settings. We close with our guiding principal of the episode being: Everyone is playing a different game. Trainers with different goals and process can meet on the same gameboard and navigate an event together, even if they are concerned with very different things. In life, we interact with people every day and never really know what they can be going through.

In this Meaningful Money Q&A episode, Pete Matthew and Roger Weeks answer real listener questions on UK pensions, retirement planning, tax and ISAs. They cover pension contributions for a spouse, starting a career in financial planning, reducing workplace pension fees with a SIPP, navigating the 60% tax trap, retiring abroad with UK pensions, and upcoming ISA rule changes from April 2027. A practical episode for UK savers, investors and future retirees looking to make clearer, more confident financial decisions. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA55 01:26 Question 1 Thanks Roger and Pete for the wealth of information you share and all the time you put in to share on finance and pensions. I have listened to a lot of your podcasts on my treks to and from work and finally took the plunge to retire early at 52 to enjoy life and get away from the desk for 8-9 hours a day. I had a DB pension which allowed me to take early whilst my wife has various pensions from previous jobs but all have the rule to take from 57 onwards. So my question is to help 4-5 years down the line. Could I put £300 a month (or the equivalent of 300 minus government contribution) into my wife's pension to continue to take account of government contributions and take the opportunity of her being on below the £12k tax threshold after giving up work? Is this possible or would this be classed as pension recycling as the government would presume the cash invested is from the lump sum I got from my defined benefit pension or is there a way to prove the money is from pay before I retired? Many thanks for your advice and support giving many people greater confidence with pensions and finances. Wayne 04:10 Question 2 Hello Pete & Roger, Thanks for all the great content and information - you are both much better than any AI chatbots! Apologies for the long back story but here goes: My name is Michael, 33 and I live in central Scotland. I have worked in a tech startup for the last 6 years but felt like a change around 18 months ago so I began sitting my CII exams. To date I have passed RO1 - RO5 and also recently passed CF6. I am sitting RO6 in April this year - wish me luck! I have recently secured an opportunity to work self employed for a specialist mortgage firm and start in early May as a trainee mortgage advisor. I have been offered a set monthly payment for 6 months then a 70/30 split after that. I would hope to have achieved CAS within that 6 month period. If I pass RO6 in April, I will have my diploma. My goal is to work as a financial planner but since I've done self study, I don't have any real experience of the financial services industry. I am very ambitious but also trying to be realistic about how to sensibly map out a route to being a successful financial planner relatively quickly. To throw a spanner in the works, a family friend who is a 62 year old IFA with £30m aum is interested in discussing me joining him and eventually taking over the business. It sounds exciting but also a little scary to me. He is only a one man band. For now I've accepted the mortgage trainee position but not sure if I am doing the right thing. The owner of the mortgage company now lives in Dubai and is looking to also remove himself from his business - he has 8 admin staff who WFH from across Scotland and he is the main adviser, specialising in BTL, bridging and commercial finance. They are only authorised for mortgages by the FCA. After that dissertation, my questions are: 1. From your experience and perspective, are mortgages a decent place to start or can you end up getting stuck there? 2. Since I have no real industry experience, only exams - is my head in the clouds thinking I could be a full fledged financial planner within 2 years? 3. If I started with the mortgage firm and got CAS as a self employed mortgage advisor, could I then also be an appointed representative for a different financial planning firm at the same time or is that not actually feasible in the real world? Once again, sorry for the huge essay but I guess context is needed. Once again thanks for all that you do, not much good content out there around these topics so keep up the good work! Regards, Michael 12:36 Question 3 Hi Pete & Roger, Firstly a very big thank you for all that you do for this community. I am learning lots from you guys and feel more confident with my finances. I'm 46 years old and currently have two pensions. My first pension is in a defined benefit plan from my steelwork apprenticeship days whereby I only paid into it for approx 6 years before moving jobs. I was able to track this down late last year and was pleasantly surprised to see that this had gone from an annual amount of £2650 in July 2007 to £4400 as of October 2025. I have been told to leave this as it is as it will grow over time with inflation. My other pension is a defined contribution plan with Royal London (RL). I am a higher rate tax payer and currently pay 10% of my £58,000 annual salary into this fund and my employer pays 5%. I would like to finish at 58 given I had a serious neck injury at 41 and don't know how long my body is going to work for me)! This pot is currently worth £105,000 and I am deliberating whether to increase my contributions in order to achieve my retirement age goal. I also have a stocks and shares ISA which is currently worth £36,000. I pay £250 a month into this but don't know if it would be more tax efficient to put this £250 into my pension instead? However, I am also mindful that the pension age may increase so by having a pot of money invested in the stocks and shares ISA I can draw this down when I like and also not bear any tax implications. Having looked into the fees which RL charge (0.71% for our employers scheme) I believe I would be able to achieve my goal quicker were I to move this into a SIPP and invest in a global ETF. I have discussed this with my employer and have asked if they would consider offering an alternative SIPP option. I feel I am meeting some resistance with this and don't believe a decision will be made anytime soon. In the interim, my compounding is being eaten away by the fees which I am currently being charged and my goal is moving further away from me. I found a pension fee calculator online and at the current rate I am investing I stand to lose approx £50,000 if I keep this with RL. I am aware that I can partially transfer my RL pension. However, to keep the employer contribution I would need to keep the RL pension open with a minimum amount of funds and then transfer the employer contribution across to my SIPP. What is the best way to go about this to make it the most fee/tax efficient? Should I transfer the employer contribution as soon as it is paid to RL, or would it be no different to do it on an annual basis? I am assuming the longer I have money in the SIPP the more growth it will obtain therefore the former would be the sensible default. Am I approaching this correctly? Is there something else which I could consider? Thank you kindly, Paul 20:30 Question 4 Hi Pete and Rog - great show and love the books (but not finished them yet). Thanks for demystifying the complex world of personal finance and financial planning. I'm in the fortunate position where my projected salary and bonus will increase again for tax year 2026/27 and will take me well over the £125k tax threshold before adjustments. My 'problem' so to speak is that even after using my current year maximum pension allowance and previous years unused maximum pension allowance I can only get my adjusted income to be around £115k. Tough life I know! I can either make a large Gift Aid donation to get below £100k or use less of my unused maximum pension allowance to keep above £125k. Am I missing any other income adjustment options? What is the actual impact of not being able to hit the £100k adjusted income, and being in the £125k additional tax bracket, from a tax payment perspective in real money terms? I have some small cash savings and stocks outside of ISAs as we put most of these in my wife's name as she is a basic rate tax payer. We don't need the childcare tax scheme and not aware of any other reason to keep under £100k except to save tax and avoid the 60% effective tax rate between £100k and £125k. Don't want to let the tax tail wag the dog, and happy to give to charity, but in real terms is there actually much difference in the tax payment amount in pounds and pence (as long as I kept out of the £100k - £125k range)? Many thanks, Simon 25:33 Question 5 Hi, Fairly new listener to the podcasts, been binge watching them recently, ended up here via the meaningful money YouTube channel. Both are thoroughly enjoyable to watch and are teaching me a lot about the financial world - along with 2 other YouTube channels I like Damien talks money and James shack. Anyway my question if you have time and it's selected would be about retiring abroad. My current situation - male, 42, living north east England, working full time for NHS and will have 2 NHS db scheme pensions in retirement (1 in 2008 scheme at 65 and 1 in 2015 care scheme at state pension age). I have 2 stocks and shares ISAs, with about £95000 between them, 1 stocks and shares Lisa with about £4500 in it (for retirement not house purchase), about £21000 in premium bonds which I use as an emergency fund. Our house is paid off so no mortgage payments so at the minute can add to these savings at £500+ a month comfortable. My wife is 34 and here on spouse visa and hopefully will be eligible for indefinite leave to remain and citizenship soon (it will save us a lot in visa fees and stuff when it happens). She currently works a part time job 16hr per week at minimum wage to fit around child care for our 2year old son. 1st question is would this part time work count as a qualifying year for the state pension as it's below the personal tax allowance? We have a rough plan of retiring early hopefully once our son is grown up and finished with schooling and university and moving back to my wife's home country in Asia for the better weather and lower cost of living. As a rough plan we think when I'm 60 and wife 52 but could move later depending on family commitments. Now if I stay in NHS all that time I should have 10 years in the 2008 NHS scheme and 24 years in 2015 scheme and with conservative planning on spreadsheets will get £8000 per year from 2008 scheme and £14000 from the 2015 scheme taking at the normal pension age for these schemes. My wife will benefit from a spouse's pension for length if I die 1st of roughly 1/3 of these figures. I have the option of exchanging some of this pension for tax free lump sum up to 25% and the calculation is for every £1 I reduce the pension by I get £12 lump sum. Question 2 - everyone at work always talks about you got to take the maximum lump sum to avoid paying tax, but I'm not so sure as the pensions linked to inflation over the long run there could end up being a big gap between your pension with and without the lump sum. What's your thoughts on this, if I didn't need a large amount of cash for a specific thing surely it's better to go for the larger pension even if you end up paying for tax or am I wrong . When we move I will have a full NI record for the state pension but my wife won't and depending on your answer to the 1st question might have 20 years contribution say. Question 3 - if we move abroad before she has a full record can we make voluntary payments for extra year's while resident in another country? I see you can pay about £900 for a year in this country but I'm not so sure if where already living abroad. Assuming my savings continue to grow and the stock market doesn't complete collapse, I will use these savings to bridge the gap from 60 to 65 and then the state pension age. And fund the move with the sale of our house which will also give us a cash buffer hopefully too. Question 4 - when moving abroad can I keep my stocks and shares ISA - I know you can't contribute more to it, but keeping it open to grow, receive dividends, withdraw money, the government website says you can but a lot of the provider websites are vague and some say they don't allow it. Is it a case when the time comes I'll have to transfer my isas to 1 of the more expensive providers say who are more likely to allow this? Now I already know that the country I'm moving to doesn't have a reciprocal agreement so our state pension will be frozen at the level that we claim it and have based all our plans and number crunching on this. And that the country I move to may charge tax on money I draw out of my ISA when I transfer it over, and on my pension (although with the double taxation treaty hopefully not) and will seek advice of accountants over there nearer the time as currently there is some work arounds involving spouses but these may not be there in 20 years time. My last question - would be about if I die 1st probably more likely me being older and male, is more for my wife inheriting my UK based assets - the bank accounts and isas, NHS pension. The NHS pension should be easy she's already my nominee on record and will go through with her the forms and website for claiming it. But the isas and bank accounts are the main worry - will it be easy for her to transfer them over to her (I'm assuming the joint accounts will be pretty much automatic) but will the single accounts be easy? Can she keep the money in the ISA still in an ISA but in her name? Would having her own ISA make this transfer easier? And most importantly is this something you think can be done online/over the phone from abroad or will it involve a trip back to the UK and back and forward to branches assuming they haven't all been shut. Thank you for taking the time to read this email, sorry it's so long, and no worries if it doesn't get chosen for the podcast. Keep up the good work Kind regards, Mark 38:15 Question 6 Change to ISA rules from April 2027. Audio question from Holly.
You're Losing Profit When Your Competition Uses AI with Peter McCarroll Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com Make more, work less video: https://youtu.be/ It is 9 am. You have a ChatGPT tab open in your browser. You have had it open for six months. This week you used it to write a follow-up email and summarize a vendor contract. And in the back of your head you have been telling yourself: we are doing the AI thing. You are not doing the AI thing. You are paying for a receipt. Peter McCarroll has built AI into the actual operations of a 15-year accounting practice. Not as an experiment. As infrastructure. And what he found is that the owners stuck on email drafting are missing two levers that are already reshaping the competitive landscape in their market. In This Episode: Why a 15-year client is now in a forced sale, and the one cash decision she kept delaying that made it inevitable The three levers of AI value, and why the third is the one almost no one is pulling How Peter arrives at every client meeting already knowing the last 10 calls, the patterns, and what the owner will resist The year-end review skill that catches errors before the partner sees them, raising quality while saving partner time Why an AI subscription is not a strategy, and what a real transformation looks like inside a working business Rocky's system for turning every client transcript into a searchable coaching database Competitor compression: why the business that adopted AI 18 months ago is already changing your pricing power Key Takeaways: Cost reduction is the floor. Decision quality and revenue growth are the ceiling. Most owners never leave the floor. If you are not occasionally maxing out your AI plan, you are probably not using it enough. The subscription is not the strategy. The Profit First vault is the difference between choosing when you exit and being forced out on someone else's timeline. AI used as a thinking partner that challenges you produces better output than you or the AI alone. Competitor compression is happening now. Businesses that adopted AI 18 months ago are already faster and cheaper at the same work. Aboout Peter McCarroll: Peter McCarroll is a Chartered Accountant (NZ), CPA (Canada), and the founder of The AI Accountant — the only AI training and implementation platform built exclusively for CAS practices. He runs a full-service accounting practice at Fuel Accountants, where he has spent the past two years deploying AI across real client workflows. Peter helps accounting firms move from experimentation to operational transformation — not with theory, but with systems built inside a working practice.

Hey Clutterbugs! Making friends as an adult is hard, especially when you have ADHD, struggle with loneliness, or feel like you have people in your life but still feel alone. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 5 types of friendships you actually need for your mental health: the Cheerleader, the Challenger, the Collaborator, the Comfort Friend, and the Connector. I'm getting really vulnerable today about how badly I suck at making and maintaining friendships, why ADHD makes it even harder (object permanence, rejection sensitivity, social battery—all of it), and how growing up in an emotionally unavailable home taught me to ghost people who actually like me. If you've ever felt like friendships are exhausting work, or you're not sure what type of friend you're missing, this episode is for you. And just like your closet, your relationships need an audit. Which of the 5 types are you missing? Which one are you for the people you love? And how do you actually make new friends as a grown-up without it feeling awkward and terrible?

Growing Your Firm | Strategies for Accountants, CPA's, Bookkeepers , and Tax Professionals
Whether you're a CPA starting a firm, an operations manager, or a managing partner looking at succession options, understanding what actually drives firm valuation in today's intense M&A market is critical. In this episode of Growing Your Firm, host David Cristello sits down with Mike Payne, a veteran M&A consultant who has spent nearly two decades facilitating accounting firm mergers, acquisitions, and private equity investments. Mike pulls back the curtain on transactions ranging from $1M to over $100M to explain exactly how buyers evaluate practices and why the traditional metrics you read about are often just hearsay. In this episode, we explore: The Revenue vs. EBITDA Shift: Why the accounting world has fundamentally shifted from gross revenue multiples to Adjusted EBITDA valuations. The Private Equity (PE) Reality: How the massive influx of outside capital is reshaping deal structures, increasing cash at the table, and forcing traditional firms to change. The CAS and Tax Premium: Why a strong Client Accounting Services (CAS) department and recurring, sticky tax revenue can instantly add multiples to your firm's value. The "Airport Test" for Culture: Why early-stage deal-making fails without alignment on culture, leadership, and operational tech stacks. Stress-Testing Internal Succession: Real-world tactical advice for firm owners who want to successfully pass the baton to the next generation of junior partners. The Fiercely Independent Path: Why selling isn't your only choice, and how to build a highly profitable, independent firm by playing defense against consolidation. Key Benchmarks Mentioned: Healthy Profitability: Why 30% to 35% bottom-line profit (pre-owner compensation) is the gold standard benchmark for an attractive firm. Partner Billable Hours: The hidden red flag of high partner-level billable hours that can tank your valuation during due diligence. Featured Guest: Mike Payne

In this episode of Status Check with Spivey, Mike, joined by LSAT experts Graeme Blake and Ellen Cassidy, discusses the changes coming to the LSAT this August and the federal class-action lawsuit that LSAC is currently facing over CAS fees.Graeme has been teaching the LSAT for over 15 years and is the founder of LSAT Hacks, and Ellen is the author of The Loophole in LSAT Logical Reasoning and founder of Elemental Prep.The group discusses the specific changes that are being made to the LSAT starting with the August 2026 administration (2:09), whether the changes will result in fewer high scores and a leftward shifting of the LSAT score bell curve (8:26), what you should know about the changes being made to the LSAT test-taking interface (16:48), tips for individually customizing the new interface (25:01), the most difficult part of the modern LSAT (29:06), the questions of whether the Logical Reasoning section has gotten harder since the Logic Games section was removed (27:44) and whether the LSAT is getting harder in general (29:06), hopes for the future of the LSAT (31:52), and a discussion of the federal class-action lawsuit that LSAC is currently facing over CAS fees (38:04)—plus, the LSAT score threshold where you should probably stop retaking (14:30).There have been two highly relevant updates since we recorded this episode:First, the final changes to the new LSAT user interface were completed earlier this month. LSAC expects no further changes to be made this cycle.Second, LSAC's motion to dismiss the federal class-action lawsuit being brought against them in Risner v. Law School Admission Council, Inc. was denied, and the case will now move forward to discovery.You can listen and subscribe to Status Check with Spivey on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
