It's hard to believe that the time flew by so fast, but we are celebrating our 200th episode of Where Accountants Go, the Accounting Careers Podcast. If you've been a listener for a while, you know we've changed several things along the way.  We've changed our intro section a few times, our outro section many times, our website address, and even our intro music – which we like much, much better now!  But one thing that never changed is our commitment to bringing you great guests each and every week.  Until now that is… ha! For this episode, we decided to turn the tables and I (Mark Goldman, the regular host) asked a good friend to interview me for this particular show.  Sarah Elliott of Intend2Lead, a wonderful friend of the show, agreed to do the job of interviewing me for this one episode.  We discuss many things, and honestly it was a new experience for me.  It's odd being interviewed for your own show

Brian Kush and Amber Setter of Intend2Lead joined us to discuss strategies for passing the CPA exam on this episode of Life In Accounting, the Where Accountants Go podcast. It's more than just the basic goal… While goal setting is an important part of any passing strategy, our experts Brian and Amber discuss with us the right way to set a goal specific to passing the exam.  Many exam takers will set deadlines and timelines for studying, but it's important to recognize that every individual's situation is unique.  What works for one examinee won't necessarily work for another.  When setting your own personal goals, you need to do more than simply follow a prescribed amount of study time.  You need to take into account what is effective for you personally, and your specific strengths and weaknesses with regards to topics. Visualization Another topic that we get into deeply is the strategy of visualizing what success will look like once you pass.  For many of us, we may have visualized seeing the passing results, but it's important to go deeper with your visualization.  How will you celebrate passing?   Whom will you tell first?  What will the next day be like for you at work?   Who do you think will be the most happy that you passed?  The more specific you can be in your visualizations of success, the more driven and refreshed you will be as you move towards the goal. Self-care Everyone knows what they need to “give up” or “sacrifice” in order to pass.  We know that there will be trade-offs with respect to how we spend our time.  However, while it's important to say “no” to many things in order to have the time to prepare, it's also vital to say “yes” to critical activities as well.  Those activities that are not study related but are still just as critical are those activities that help you feel good about the process and keep you invigorated for the journey.  For some people that may be some family time, or for others it could be physical activity such as going to the gym.  Whatever that item is for you that keeps your thoughts clear and allows you to regain focus, that is just as necessary as following a study regiment.  Yes, you will need to sacrifice some social activities, but don't cut out so much that your actual study time isn't effective. I think you will get a tremendous amount of value out of this discussion with Amber and Brian.  They were very generous to spend this much time with us, and I know that it will help many that are pursuing passing the CPA exam.

This week on Life In Accounting, the Where Accountants Go podcast, leadership coach Brian Kush, CPA, shared his career journey with us as well as some valuable insights on building a business and building your own leadership skills! “Forced to Learn About Business” As with many accountants, Brian's career in accounting started with a position in public accounting – audit specifically. It was this experience in auditing that forced him to learn more about business in general and he started to realize where his passions lie from a career perspective.  The overall business acumen that was developed during these formative years ended up being a great foundation for his future career in coaching. Starting A Company After working in audit consulting through a couple different entities, Brian decided to launch his own executive coaching business: Moxie Partners.  Through Moxie Partners, as well as his partnership with Sarah Elliott in Intend2Lead, Brian helps executives with many leadership topics in the workplace including embracing vulnerability, and learning to adopt the ‘learner mindset' instead of solely the ‘expert mindset'.  It's through realizing that we don't know everything that we can continue to learn and grow professionally. Biggest Mistake You need to make sure you listen all the way to the end on this episode, because like all previous shows, we asked the same three questions of our guest. Brian was very open about his “biggest mistake”, and there is a lesson in there for all of us – owners, managers, and associates or staff alike.  We all can learn from the points Brian makes towards the end of this episode. If you enjoy this week's show, you may want to visit these as well! Sarah Elliott and Dena Jansen To listen in on the interview with Brian Kush, please click on the media player below:

The Ellivate Alliance provides women who are starting a business the inspiration, practical know-how and like-minded community to accelerate their growth during the critical start-up phase. Sarah is also the co-founder of Intend2Lead, a company that coaches CPAs to access the Dimension of Possible through one-to-one coaching, group learning and innovation labs. She was honored as one of the Most Powerful Women in Accounting by CPA Practice Advisor in 2017.

Sarah Elliott, CPA, ACC, who was named one of 2017's Most Powerful Women in Accounting by CPA Practice Advisor, joined us for this episode of Life In Accounting: The Where Accountants Go podcast to discuss what can happen when you dare to dream. When the Shoe Fits….and the Hard Hat Doesn't Sarah studied Chemical Engineering in school, but after taking an Introduction to Accounting class, she felt it was a better fit than engineering so in Spring of her senior year of college she changed her major to accounting. Graduating with 186 hours, she took her CPA exams as quickly and went to work for one of the Big Four. Sarah joined the Austin PWC office in the auditing group, and she stayed with them for ten years. Her longevity with one company provided her with great experiences and benefits, such as career progression, cool accounts, and the opportunity to explore many other responsibilities. When Sarah left PWC (a gamble on her part), she joined a smaller company. She made partner, which was her goal, and she stayed for approximately four years.  But then she wanted more… Daring to Dream Sarah started to deeply contemplate her dreams. She asked herself what truly brought her joy. What really resonated with her soul? Who could she be if she had the courage to do what lit her up?  Fueled by her volunteer experiences with AICPA, she found her passions and she founded three companies. Living the Dream Sarah and her partner, Brian Kush, PCC, CPA started Intend2Lead – an innovative leadership development firm specializing in coaching, training, and consulting. She also owns Ellivate Coaching, a one-on-one coaching and masterminding organization for women entrepreneurs. Sarah's vision continued to grow and she created the Ellivate Alliance as well. This group strives to give women the confidence and courage to pursue entrepreneurship. The alliance provides: Inspiration, Practical know-how, & A safe community of like-minded women  . Sarah's Advice… Pay attention to what lights you up and follow your heart!
