CPAs translate fame into cash flow, contracts, and accountability. Accounting ARC - Student-Led ConversationsWith Harshita MultaniCenter for Accounting TransformationIn a special episode of Accounting ARC: Student-Led Conversations, student host Harshita Multani interviews Jeff Frable, CPA, CGMA, a partner at CCK Strategies in Tulsa, Okla.; Aurmaudra Bradley, CPA, president of the NABA Indianapolis Chapter; and video producer Dave Maresca with the Center for Accounting Transformation and CPA Trendlines, about the financial mechanics behind modern entertainment—and the accountants who make the numbers work.  MORE Accounting ARC: Free Speech Is a Right; Respect Is a Responsibility | Cash Bags, Casinos & Audits: How First Jobs Shape Us | Gen Z Redefines Careers | Bootleggers, Baptitsts & CPAs: Rethinking Licensure | CPA Firm Ownership Under Fire | Walking Violation: When Showing Your CPA Gets You in Trouble | Audit Bags to TikTok Tags, Gen Z Talks Success | Students Challenge Accounting's Traditional Career Path | True Grit: Recognizing Struggles That Shape Our Successes |More Admins, Fewer Students, No Plan | What Career Advice Gets Wrong for Gen Z - And How to Fix It | Your Identity is Not a Liability | Burnout, Be Gone: Accounting Needs a Boundary Breakthrough The panel opens with favorites ranging from the movie “Back to the Future” to the TV show “Lost,” then quickly moves to the business beneath the screen. Bradley says the shift from box office and album sales to streaming platforms fundamentally changes how talent gets paid and how accountants track performance. She points to the recent labor actions in Hollywood as an example of residual models catching up to platform economics. In 2023, both the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA cited the rise of streaming and reduced residuals as central issues during historic strikes that disrupted production across the industry.  Frable emphasizes that the profession's core value does not change. “You do you, and I'll do me,” he says. Artists and athletes deserve to focus on their craft while accountants manage contracts, taxes, and cash flow.

Welcome back to the Fintech Takes podcast. I'm Alex Johnson, joined by David Roos, Partner at Core Innovation Capital — an early-stage fintech investor (founded in 2010) that backs scalable businesses built to drive financial inclusion for low- and middle-income consumers. We dig into how Core really sizes up founders and business models, what's shifted since the 2021 boom-and-bust, and how open banking and AI are reshaping incentives. Highlights include: How the venture market split after 2021 (mega-funds tossing out risky option bets vs. specialist funds focused on seed) while the IPO bar climbed to nearly $1B in revenue, keeping exits mostly to M&A Why JPMC's push to charge for data access shows the tug-of-war over who controls customer information, and why over time, closed-door banks may end up losing to those that open up How AI is reshaping startups: small teams can now hit milestones that once took far more people and money, Series A investors expect closer to $3M in revenue, and how trust (earned through workflow integration and human oversight) still rules the day This episode is a reality check on what it takes to build in fintech today. And it's a friendly reminder that alignment between founders, investors, and customers is what separates lasting companies from cautionary tales.  Enjoy!  Sign up for Alex's Fintech Takes newsletter for the latest insightful analysis on fintech trends, along with a heaping pile of pop culture references and copious footnotes.

His latest CNBC appearance stirred the pot, especially with remarks on undocumented farm workers and who's really doing the heavy lifting in America's fields. While social media fixates on fact checks, the real issue might be economic—farmers can't find workers, and it's not just a U.S. problem. From Greece to Italy, nations are facing the same labor shortages and turning to migrants to fill the gap. Will Trump's base get on board with a more pragmatic approach—or will ideology keep clashing with reality?

Sean Baligian kicks off this episode with a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the lost charm of print magazines—from Phil Steele's college football previews to childhood rituals involving Sports Illustrated and Beckett price guides. Joined by Todd, the discussion touches on the generational shift in media consumption and the irreplaceable feel of flipping through pages on the “throne.”The conversation shifts gears as Sean breaks down the Detroit Red Wings' off-season moves, questioning whether John Gibson is enough to improve a team still lacking true star power. He dives into the harsh reality of the Atlantic Division, evaluates the ceiling for players like Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider, and revisits the long-standing debate over Dylan Larkin's status as a top-line center.Mixed in are stories about Vegas gambling wins, the slippery slope of sports betting addiction, and a few laughs about fantasy football and Fourth of July grilling plans. From serious takes to silly memories, it's a laid-back pre-holiday episode full of insight, nostalgia, and classic Sean banter.

I don't like to admit it, but one of my first thoughts when we experienced Thai culture was "How do they eat so much white rice and stay so thin?" Whether or not we realize it we believe certain narratives about how we approach food, its role in overall health without ever really questioning the truth behind them. I know I did. Kylie Sakaida, a nationally recognized well loved registered dietitian with over 6 million social media followers, comes on the show to bring a refreshing perspective to healthy eating that honors both nutritional science and her strong cultural background. Have you ever noticed that 'healthy cookbooks' don't include a lot of asian recipes? That changes HERE! Kylie courageously shares her personal struggle with ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), a less common eating disorder characterized by extreme food avoidance. Her journey and recovery ultimately inspired her career path and compassionate approach to nutrition counseling. The conversation challenges common Western diet misconceptions, particularly around cultural foods like rice and noodles. Drawing from her Japanese-Hawaiian background her take on nutrition is refreshing and welcome. I know you'll feel the same! Kylie and I connect over similar parts of our eating disorder recovery, laugh over words that make me cringe and drool over recipes like her mason jar noodles that I can't get enough of. Follow her @NutritionByKylie across social platforms for more practical tips and recipes & get a copy of her book here! -------This episode was sponsored by our friends at: N-2 Water!

Kayla Nicole steps into the Underground Lounge: After Hours and immediately takes things to another level. What starts as a laid-back convo quickly turns into a raw, no-holds-barred session about dating, DM etiquette, wild reality TV experiences, and all the unspoken rules of modern romance.She breaks down her time on Special Forces hanging from helicopters, and dropped into icy water, all for a check (and a little self-growth). But don't get it twisted, she's never doing that again.From there, the crew spirals into hilarious debates: Is it shallow to pass on a man with busted sneakers? Could you date a mortician? Why does the trashman suddenly sound like husband material? And who's really running the DM game—men or women?They also tap into the zodiac chaos (shoutout to Scorpios and Aries), reality TV setups, and one painfully relatable story about a man singing the karaoke song to someone else—right in front of Holly.With the “F*** It Bucket” in the mix, things get even more unfiltered—touching on squirting myths, sex standards, and that one song you'd use to communicate for life. Spoiler: it's not Usher.Funny, wild, and way too real—this is After Hours in its purest form. No scripts, no filters, just the kind of conversation you wish you were part of.

What if the person you trusted as your spiritual mentor was actually casting a spell to manipulate your mind, isolate you from loved ones, and hijack your reality? In this explosive episode of our "Bewitched" series, I sit down with Dr. Robyn McKay and Jia Dafu to unravel a story of spiritual manipulation, emotional abuse, and the dark underbelly of high-control coaching. Jia bravely shares her experience working with "Betty", a so-called spiritual mentor whose toxic tactics went far beyond typical coaching.From sleep deprivation to planting seeds of paranoia about family and loved ones, Betty created a cult-like environment where truth and lies became indistinguishable. Jia opens up about how Betty's insidious methods of gaslighting, emotional isolation, and mind games left her questioning her own sanity.We dive into the bizarre dynamics of "energetic agreements", the manipulation of spiritual gifts, and the trauma bonds that formed when vulnerability was weaponized. You'll hear how Betty convinced Jia to break off relationships, adopt a delusional identity, and even channel business strategies that were stolen and marketed as Betty's own work.This episode is a wake-up call for anyone navigating spiritual and coaching spaces. We're not holding back as we expose the dangerous patterns of cult-like mentorship, share how to spot red flags, and discuss the reclamation of self-sovereignty after spiritual abuse.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(01:41) Episode Recap on Instagram(02:23) In Today's Episode...Jia Dafu(03:08) Special Bonuses on The Mothership(06:48) Jia's Naive Start and Initial Impressions(09:49) Santa Fe Retreat - The Taker Element and The Delusional Confidence(18:10) Dark Psychological Practices(26:58) Mind Block and Manipulations(32:36) Life Changes After Santa Fe - Inverted Portals(38:44) The Croatia Retreat - The Big Being(44:26) Spell Casting and Paranoia(51:53) Psychotic Breakdown, Silent Resistance and The Mysterious Enemy(01:00:00) Returning Home: The Shift.

DJ Qualls (Supernatural, Hustle & Flow) joins us this week to share his experience coming out of a strict rural South upbringing, having to hide who he truly was while on sets in Hollywood, and eventually carving a path of success that allows him to operate on his terms without any curated persona. DJ opens up on why he hid his sexuality when he came out to LA along with his opinion of changing dynamics on sets today and the context needed to be given to those in the past. We also talk about his rise during the birth of the TMZ era, how he got roped into Supernatural, and the importance in redirecting childhood trauma to make yourself a better person.
