In this episode of Booked & Unfiltered, Michelle Glogovac and Stephanie Hockersmith unpack the latest controversy surrounding bestselling author Ali Hazelwood and the harsh realities of online book discourse. They dive into the complexities of fandom culture, the rise of performative outrage, and how bullying masked as “critique” is eroding empathy in the book community. Michelle and Steph share why reading the actual book still matters, why we can care about literature and global issues at the same time, and how nuance has all but disappeared from internet conversations. This episode is a rally cry for book lovers who still believe stories can build bridges—and that authors deserve humanity, not harassment. What We're Talking About... Feedback on the Read the Damn Book series is positive. It's okay to put down a book you're not enjoying. People feel pressure to read certain books in professional settings. Online bullying over fictional character preferences is unnecessary. Empathy should guide our discussions and disagreements. Books can open our eyes to different perspectives. The importance of treating authors as human beings. Fandom debates can become toxic and unproductive. We should focus our energy on real-world issues. Reading should be an enjoyable escape, not a source of conflict.

Authentic Business Adventures Podcast

Amanda Marek - Active Youth Wisconsin On Getting the Style Right: "I always like to say that, from an unbiased standpoint, our events are really, really awesome. And I say it's unbiased because I got to experience the events before I was an employee of active youth Wisconsin." It seems kids have all sorts of gadgets and ways to watch, listen and play while sitting in a chair and staring at a screen.  While this may be entertaining, it is also not great for their bodies.  Every body needs to move and be active.  That is a habit that should start early.  But how do you get kids off the couch and off their screens? Amanda Marek is the director of Active Youth Wisconsin, a non-profit that helps get kids moving through many programs.  These programs include donations to schools for physical education equipment, after school programs, triathlons for kids and even some adult fund-raising to get adults active. Discover how Active Youth Wisconsin removes barriers, from providing "no questions asked" financial aid for entry fees and gear, to carting bike trailers to schools so every child can experience the freedom and confidence that come with moving their bodies. Amanda opens up about the challenges and triumphs of running events, working with schools, wrangling city permits, and, most importantly, ensuring that every child—regardless of means—has the opportunity to build healthy habits and a sense of community through activity. Whether you're a parent, educator, entrepreneur, or just someone who believes in the power of movement and inclusion, this episode is packed with heartfelt stories and valuable insights. Listen as Amanda details how they are helping get kids moving and making sure the opportunity is available to everyone. Enjoy!

So when you're six years old, they're saying, all right, football's your sport, you know, and so we're gonna go do the elite program at the gym and we're gonna do the weightlifting and all of these. Right. It's amazing to see these kids developing as athletes. I think it's really awesome. But it's so exclusive that you have this big chunk of kids, kids that are being essentially left behind.

Brandon Lang - Lang Lighting and Decor On a Knowing What People Want: "And people like quick. They want their stuff done yesterday." The evolution of how a business came to be and grow is always interesting. With Brandon Lang, of Lang's Lighting and Decor, he started making elaborate haunted houses for the neighborhood and now runs a successful lighting and decor business. Brandon shares how an epic backyard haunted house for Halloween—built with his brother Dustin, a pile of recycled cardboard, and a garage full of ambition—sparked their passion for decorating and community connection. After their mega-popular haunted house was shut down for safety reasons, the brothers channeled their creative energy into a new business: helping families transform their homes with professional-grade Christmas and landscape lighting. Listen as Brandon pulls back the curtain on launching their company out of their dad's garage, facing the countless challenges of growth (from tangled bins of holiday lights to wrangling their first employees), and figuring out how to scale quality work without losing the personal touch. If you've ever wondered what goes into making neighborhoods dazzle during the holidays—or dreamed of turning your favorite hobby into a full-time pursuit—this episode will leave you inspired, entertained, and maybe ready to up your own lighting game.

Dean Vance - Vance and Associates CPA On a the Brutal Truth About the CPA World: "It's the people who are not part of the orthodoxy who are outside the box that ask those, quote, unquote, 'silly questions', that actually dig in. 99% of this space has been following a fallacy about things." As an entrepreneur, the government rewards you, kind of, for building your business to create jobs and keep the economy moving.  But these rewards are typically given as tax breaks that are not at the forefront of the minds of accountants.  You know them the professionals that you trust to know the tax code to help minimize your tax burden. Dean Vance is a CPA that comes at this from a different angle.  Dean has an eye and a mind for helping business owners navigate the tax code to make sure they are taking advantage of the opportunities the tax code offers them. Dean Vance of Vance and Associates CPA talks taxes, accounting, and small business finance. As a seasoned CPA with nearly thirty years of experience, Dean shares the ins and outs of tax strategy, the importance of tax planning, and why having someone regularly “look under the hood” of your business books can make all the difference. The conversation covers everything from the often-overlooked tax opportunities for small business owners—like paying your kids to work in your business—to the crucial role of systems, checklists, and company culture in building a successful business. Dean also gives listeners a peek behind the scenes of his own firm, discusses the value of industry specialization (“riches are in niches!”), and highlights the human side of accounting, including personality fit and team building. Along the way, James and Dean swap stories about navigating the real challenges and triumphs that come with entrepreneurship, making this episode a must-listen for business owners who want to stop leaving money on the table and start running a leaner, smarter operation. Whether you're dreading tax season or just want to better understand the numbers driving your business, you'll find plenty of practical wisdom—and maybe a little inspiration—in this week's conversation.

Tammy Cho - Path to the Heart On a Question Every Entrepreneur Should Routinely Ask Themselves: "Where are you not allowing yourself to be yourself, your authentic self?" We push and we grind and we hustle and we push some more.  As entrepreneurs we do all of this in the name of success, freedom, happiness and perhaps a bit of stubborn ego.  Pushing this hard can sometimes put us in a position of forgetting who we truly are.  Even forgetting what we really want out of life and our business. Without realizing, or remembering what we are pushing for can lead to less success than we are capable of achieving, and possibly even worse, often in the form of health and wellness issues. Tammy Cho, founder of Path to the Heart, went down this path and realized it.  She got up, changed course and now helps others explore the powerful intersection of personal healing and authentic leadership. Tammy shares her remarkable transition from working as a high-achieving nurse—who ultimately faced burnout and a life-changing panic attack—to creating a unique business dedicated to helping high achievers reconnect with their authentic selves. We'll hear how her personal story of emotional struggle, navigating therapy, mastering NLP, and discovering energy work and psychosomatic therapy inspired her mission to serve entrepreneurs searching for more meaning and alignment in both their personal and professional lives. Tammy discusses the importance of self-awareness, energy leadership, and recognizing the masks many of us wear as business owners. Tammy opens up about her face and body analysis work, explaining how our physical features can reveal invisible blocks to our potential, and how aligning our mind, heart, and body can amplify our presence and leadership in any room. Listen as Tammy shares some powerful insights that will have you taking a moment to think about what you want, so you can focus on achieving exactly that. Enjoy!

Could AI be doing a day's work in just minutes for accountants? In this episode, Blake and David explore how accounting technology is revolutionizing traditional workflows, from Xero's new AI protocol that connects chatbots directly to accounting data, to Google's game-changing "I" function in Sheets that lets you analyze data with natural language. You'll discover why deep research tools might replace entire teams of analysts and why revealing your AI usage might actually hurt your professional reputation. Plus, hear about unusual recession indicators (men's underwear sales are down!), what Americans consider financial success versus reality, and why accountants everywhere are buzzing about Baker Tilly's merger with Moss Adams.

Jose Berlanga - Experienced Entrepreneur On the Skills to be a Successful Entrepreneur: "You have to be a little bit crazy, a little bit of a gambler, a little bit of a dreamer." Advice for an entrepreneur from an experienced business owner with years of dealing with the ups and downs of multiple businesses is invaluable.  The simple fact is that we do not know it all, and sometimes a story from someone that has lived to tell a tale is a great example, or warning, for us. Jose Berlanga, the entrepreneurial force behind many businesses, from Italian Coffee Shops, to real estate investing. Jose opens up about his journey from launching his first business at just 17 years old in the oil and gas industry, to navigating the highs and lows of real estate development with his brother as a partner. Together, they discuss the realities of entrepreneurship—shedding light on the risks, sacrifices, and the unexpected learning curves that come with building businesses from the ground up. Jose also shares insights from his new books, including “The Business of Home Building,” “Dirt Rich,” and “Quantum Entrepreneurship,” each offering a candid look at what it truly takes to run successful companies and develop the entrepreneurial mindset. You will get an inside look at the importance of choosing the right partners, protecting your business during industry downturns, and why understanding your personal strengths (and weaknesses) are just as critical as managing cash flow. Listen as Jose shares some of his behind-the-scenes struggles and triumphs of business ownership, his hard-earned wisdom and actionable advice straight from someone who's lived—and survived—it all.

Beth Viney - Czar's Promise On Getting Bad News About Your Beloved Pet: "Caring for Pets with Cancer: It's kinda like you get a glazed look over your face, your your throat sinks down into your stomach, and you have a thousand questions and not a lot of answers." Pets hold a special place in our hearts.  They lift us up when we're down and lift us even higher when we're doing alright.  They show us what is really important: food, water, naps, a few snuggles and maybe scratching that one spot that makes your leg shake for joy. But pets are living, breathing and loving creatures and living creatures can get sick, just like us.  This is especially challenging with a pet that doesn't have a great way of expressing all that they are feeling in regards to their health. Beth Viney is the founder of Czar's Promise, a non-profit that helps pet owners navigate the options when they find out their pet has cancer.  This includes information and resources to help you as a pet owner. Listen as Beth explains how you can help you pet, before they have cancer and just in case they are diagnosed with cancer.  She shares her wisdom, passion and drive and is doing all she can to make our incredible pets as happy, healthy and helpful as possible.
