Anything that isn't related to making or divesting of investments potentially falls in the lap of the CFO.”“Typically, within a lot of private equity firms, it is the CFO that just keeps everything on the straight and narrow, keeps everything sort of running with the exception of the buying and selling of investments.”“Twenty years ago, private equity business was very much sort of cookie cutter. One investment looked very much like another. One fund looked very much like the last fund. And there wasn't a great deal that changed. But now you need to be part lawyer, part accountant, part tax advisor, part regulatory consultant, and I think 20 years ago that wasn't the case. Certainly not to the same extent.”“In terms of leading the team, one of the key things that I find is that I don't ask anyone in my team to do something that I have never done myself in the past or don't sometimes do myself at the moment”“I think that sort of move towards automation and digitalization has always been there within the finance function. It just sort of progresses over time. It's something that you can't just, oh, over the next two years we're going to digitalize every manual process. It needs to be constantly evolving.”“One of the most important bits of advice is never be too important to do anything because it helps keep you grounded. It also helps with building a team. Don't feel that because you are now CFO, you can't do your own photocopying for example.”--------Topics:01:15 Paul's journey03:29 The role of CFO in private equity05:22 How the role has changed over time07:13 Current state of the market13:12 Building a strong finance team15:12 Leading through the pandemic25:01 Changes in finance technology26:58 Automating manual processes32:52 Advice for aspiring CFOs--------Sponsor:This show is brought to you by Soldo, the brighter way to manage business spending and expenses.

They look to me to be calm, even when the plane's rattling around. Because I mean, I'm a nervous flyer, and if I look and the air hostess is panicking, I worry. So however much there might be going on in the background. I've got to present a calm face to the business, take questions, understand sentiment,  and also be fixing stuff in the background without making too much noise about it. I think that's what we've had to do in what's been an unprecedented time. It comes down to something as simple as just over communicating.” - Chris Stefani--------Timestamp Topics:01:35 Chris' career path05:33 CFO experiences at different companies08:55 Pioneering in a novel market13:10 Leadership through challenging times18:53 Achieving balance during stressful times25:56 Investing in the finance team as a CFO33:24 How Chris' team uses technology37:22 Advice for aspiring CFOs--------Sponsor:This show is brought to you by Soldo, the brighter way to manage business spending and expenses.

You've got to have a clear direction of where you're trying to go. And the faster you can go to that point as a business, the better, but finance is a key enabler to that. If finance isn't on the case, the business will naturally slow down to the tempo that finance operates at. So you can be an active inhibitor and break on the business, or you can be an enabler. And it's building that shift from, are the numbers right? Is money ending up where it needs to be? Do we have everything in order? Are we getting through our audits? To, how forward looking are we and how quickly are we doing that? Which by the way, auditors love as well because these systems, when they work, make their lives a lot easier.” - Alwyn Jones--------Timestamp Topics:01:32 Alwyn's background in finance03:05 Experience with Monzo10:11 Building a bank from scratch18:59 The novelty of cryptocurrency24:50 Importance of crypto for CFOs27:56 Hiring in the finance sector39:05 Technologies embraced as a finance team42:51 Advice for upcoming CFOs--------Sponsor:This show is brought to you by Soldo, the brighter way to manage business spending and expenses.

So unless I see somebody's really passionate, the fact that they have lots of years of experience, relevant experience, have worked at compelling businesses, all of that is good. But to me, a motivated individual who wants to succeed is way more important than trying to find that square peg for that, you know, square hole.”“We live in a world of soundbites. If you look at how companies go public, investors have 30 minutes to understand the story, look at some financials and figure out, do they want to make a big multimillion dollar investment? And that squarely lies on the CFO. So distilling complex technology aspects or business aspects, and the ability to explain it in an easy to understand fashion. Super important for a CFO.”“A CFO shouldn't really view that he or she has a particularly well defined swim lane, they should view the entire business as something that they can actually have a say in, and the more comfortable they are with that, the more successful they will be.”--------Timestamp Topics:01:45 How Manish got started in finance05:20 What makes a good CFO07:30 Views on the predominant model of founder led companies12:47 Finding balance in the tech industry15:30 Financing and raising capital18:05 Views on the current market20:36 Advice to other CFOs31:00 Achieving cohesion with your team27:56 Views on technology within finance36:15 Advice for aspiring CFOs--------Sponsor:This show is brought to you by Soldo, the brighter way to manage business spending and expenses.

And if you create this circular relationship where every individual that you deal with benefits wherever they sit on that circle,  think you provide a full service offering, which as a consultant is all I wanna do.” You've gotta be bright. You've gotta be numerate. You've gotta be analytical. You've gotta be independent of thought. You've gotta be robust in terms of your personality because you won't always be popular. “Work out where you want to get to, and then understand the experience you need to get there. Work out the roles that give you that experience, work out how long you need to do them for,  work that backwards to where you are now. If you are on that path, you're heading in the right direction, keep going. But if you are not on that path then, first and foremost, go and talk internally to your boss and your HR partner and say, I wanna get there, I'm currently here, I can't get those two paths to link up which means I've gotta do something different, help me. And if you can't get help that way, because you will always do better internally because you've got your career, your reputation, your network, your knowledge to exploit to get the move you want; if you can't do that internally, then start thinking about how you do that externally.”--------Timestamp Topics:01:48 Mark's role as a CFO headhunter04:53 Getting started at Odgers Berndtson11:24 The evolving role the CFO18:48 The process of becoming a CFO29:37 Defining the current market for CFO roles40:06 Advice for aspiring CFOs--------Sponsor:This show is brought to you by Soldo, the brighter way to manage business spending and expenses.

How can we think about what's really best for the company over the long term, but also make sure to invest in a way where we can remain nimble over the course of the shorter term time horizon, where there's a little bit more global uncertainty around us.”“I think it's important to be proactive. You should be a leader that educates your teams and provides guidance in an advisory role to the CEO. In this type of market for CFOs and other finance leaders, you don't necessarily know what are the right questions to ask, how to make sense of what's going on in the market, or how to navigate through these cycles. But, financial leaders are really in the best spot one because they have access to the information and that analytical horsepower. They've got a team with that economic mindset and can understand different business relationships.”--------Timestamp Topics:01:20 Career Path 06:00 Comparing Crises and their Effects07:50 Changing of Tech Sector Capital Markets 10:05 Navigating Current Market 13:20 Managing Investor Relations and Expectations 16:20 Leading Teams Through Change 18:20 Maneuvering the Market and Employment    20:20 Being a Partner with the CEO 25:50 Hiring, Retention, and Networking 28:20 Use of Technology--------Sponsor:This show is brought to you by Soldo, the brighter way to manage business spending and expenses.

I think that keeps a career dynamically healthy. And, you know, gone are the days where we're going to spend 30 or 40 years in the same company, let alone the same industry. I mean, that was a concept for our parents' generation and a very valued loyalty concept too. I just think people are going to prioritize their own ambitions, their own interests, their own curiosities ahead of their career. And I think those meld together here in the startup world, the tech world, or the innovative world really, really well.”“I don't care how well resourced the company is you're working for. I don't care how accoladed and rewarded and regarded the company may be. If you're working for a person who's not investing in your development, it's irrelevant. And I think as a manager that is one of the core tenets of being an employer or as a manager, you're supposed to invest in your people. And, you know, I think there's more emphasis on that going forward.”“It's okay to be average at some things. You can't be exceptional at everything. It doesn't work like if you have exceptional behavior, then you get exceptional outcomes. You can't be a decathlete and be number one in everything. I don't think that's feasible. So it's okay to be average over here, but to aspire to be something better over there.”“I do think connection with your people is typically an empathetic connection. And you want to drive results during stressful times. It's not through raising your voice. It's not through turning up your temperature. It's not through making it harder. It's actually generally down to listening and connecting to your people. And that's exactly the environment I think we're in right now in the tech world, but it's the environment the financial world was in 12 years ago in the financial crisis and several times since. It's all too easy just to start yelling and shouting, demanding more minutia and micromanaging. If you do that, you're going to kill the organization. I think you need to, if you've hired well, trust them, empower them, cheer them on, support them.”--------Timestamp Topics:02:00 Christopher's career journey04:15 Taking opportunities08:30 Finding balance in a global leadership role14:10 Invest in Your People23:00 Hybrid vs. remote work27:15 Market forecasting38:00 Engaging with investors41:00 Advice for upcoming CFOs--------Sponsor:This show is brought to you by Soldo, the brighter way to manage business spending and expenses.

My department's success is not just down to me, it's down to the people I employ and if they work well, then that's obviously a good reflection on me. And if they don't, then obviously I have to carry the can for that. So I think, balancing the demands means having the right people in your teams so you don't feel the need to micromanage. You want to feel perfectly secure that everybody's doing their job.”“To get to be a CFO, I think you have to learn from your mistakes because you are going to make mistakes, but it's how you then move on from them. It includes listening to people. You shouldn't profess that you've got all of the answers and, if someone else does have a good suggestion, don't be scared of acknowledging that person. Because, I've been in a number of roles where some people have made some very good ideas and perhaps more senior people have taken credit for it.

So, the CEO is, you know, they've got obviously a really wide mandate. They need to be in control of the entire organization and in control of everything that's happening to the business. So what comes with that is a couple of things., like one is that they need to rely on someone almost absolutely when it comes to the numbers. So you have to know the numbers, you have to know how the business is working and they need to not worry about that at all. So that's a huge part of your role.”“It's really just taking stock of all of those things that need to happen. And then going through and stack ranking them on a priority basis, given your knowledge of what's happening in the business and what the demands are of the information that's being asked of you. And then just being really intellectually honest with yourself and being okay with not getting it all done overnight.”“A lot of people that come up through accounting or financial, you know, corporate finance or any of those streams, they're not necessarily data people. So having someone look at it or any tools that kind of bring together a lot of those disparate data sets into something that you can analyze and use for forecasting is probably a great investment to make on the technology side.”“Taking stock of your skillset and understanding where you need to make improvements or learn, and then figuring out a plan to make it happen is really important because no one is perfect in every area, everyone has areas of strength and weakness. So really having been thoughtful about making those improvements, making those learnings, or figuring out how you're going to kind of backfill some of those weaker areas is  super important.”“Think about your ability to communicate. I think that's something that I try to think a lot about, knowing your audience and tailoring your messaging for your audience. I mean, a lot of financial professionals can understand the business and the underlying metrics and understanding all that's very complicated by its nature. And a lot of people have that ability to understand that, but the job is really around simplifying it in a way that people can understand. I mean that's where you can really add a lot of value.”--------Time Stamp Topics:01:16 Leigh's journey into finance02:38 Changes in the audit world03:24 Transitioning into industry04:18 First role as a CFO07:12 How the role of the CFO is changing08:58 Advice for upcoming CFOs11:41 Deciding on priorities19:36 Recruiting and retaining staff at Trulioo21:45 Importance of working from the office29:10 Finance impact on employee experience31:38 Final advice for upcoming CFOs--------Sponsor:This show is brought to you by Soldo, the brighter way to manage business spending and expenses.

So don't have those skills in terms of communication or writing emails or just logic and problem solving and circling round to speak to people. There are a lot of skills that you don't get until you come into the world of work. And I think that the world has moved on. I think that with the entrepreneurial spirit, you are probably going to get more from the world of work and learning from peers and seeing the good side and the bad side of what they do than you are necessarily sitting in a lecture hall, listening to somebody who is incredibly qualified in what they do, but hasn't necessarily been in that work environment either ever or for a very long time. Knowing that you've got options should be really empowering to young people now because it's something that I didn't have when I was at school.”“Finance can be a tough place to work at times. You get the business looking at you, suppliers, customers, it can be a tough environment to work in. We need people around us who we can rely on as team members and who not only have that tenacity, but that drive and that desire to want to do their best in their role.”“I don't necessarily want a team that everybody wants to be CFO. I want a good, well-rounded team where, yeah some people are knocking down at my door, wanting my job after me, but other people want to do the best they are at the job that they've got because they have family outside of work, or they have loved ones that they're caring for, or actually they just don't want the stress and the hassle of a high powered job because they want to finish on time and go and play football. We're all many different sorts of people. And I think a well balanced team and a well-balanced company should support that.”“Cultural fit is massively important. I think we've probably all worked in organizations where what they do is great and we've probably been remunerated well, but that cultural fit isn't right. And if that cultural fit isn't right, then you get demotivated and you don't do your best. Eventually you get bored and you leave. So finding that right cultural fit from the office and spending the time doing that is massively important.”“Young people that come in haven't necessarily had a job in an office environment before let alone a finance function and actually setting them up with the right training and setting them up for success is important, but not everybody is going to succeed in that role. I think making a quick decision around that is equally as important. If you have gotten the wrong fit person in the team, and it could be that they're a great person but they're just not the right person for the role, then actually making that decision and finding either another role internally that's better suited to them or  letting them leave and find their own career path is important.”“I think the damage done to teams by keeping under-performance in place for long periods of time is worse than facing it head on and admitting that sometimes you make mistakes. Sometimes we get recruitment wrong. I know that I have in the past. You have to sometimes go with your gut. You sometimes have to go with the best person that's sat in front of you, hope they'll fit in and be great for them. And then, unfortunately, you have to deal with the consequences if they don't quite meet expectations.”“I don't see why any of us want to do something that technology can do for us. We get a bit worried about the robot revolution. That will never happen because robots will never think in the same way as humans. They'll never spot those little intricacies and add that value. I don't want to grow a team that's enormous. I want technology to take away the heavy lifting so that my team could do the interesting stuff, the stuff that really benefits them in their career journeys.”“It still astounds me, today in 2022, the world's global finance system is pretty much still held up by Excel. There is no finance function on earth that does not have an Excel spreadsheet somewhere. I think that's symptomatic of the fact that actually as finance people, we don't challenge the status quo enough sometimes. I think that sometimes, because we have month-end reporting and because we have to make sure that what we do gets done, we go, ‘I'd love to fix that but I haven't got time and I need this to carry on working, it will do the job'. And I think sometimes we need to be bigger advocates of the fact that this doesn't work for us.” “There are ways that you can use technology to speed every process up, every operational process. And the more that we do that, the more that you're not reliant on humans and human fallibility and errors with that. As finance people, there's nothing more frustrating than being like, ‘oh, someone forgot to do this', or ‘you posted something in the wrong way round'. If we can remove that and get people doing what they should be doing, which is controlled checks, analysis, the data and the insight side of things, then we'll all be better for it.”“I think there needs to be competition within this space. Otherwise you end up with just Excel again, just a newer version of Excel that everybody relies on. There needs to be competition. A single source is great and Microsoft enables that, but there has to be competition within the partners in terms of who's going to get to market first…. A world without competition is a world without innovation. So it's massively important that that continues.”“Don't rush into the CFO role. Some people seem to be very desperate to get to the top of the ladder. It will come if it's right to come to you, like the right opportunity will come up.”“For me, it's just about learning. If you're not learning in the role that you're in, then it's probably time to move on. But it doesn't always have to be up the career ladder. It can be sideways or a similar role in a different organization. If you want to be a CFO of a fast paced organization, spend some time in finance in a fast paced organization. See how you like it. Because one day that's all going to be yours to look after.”--------Timestamp Topics:01:30 Kirstine's career path05:39 Formal education07:58 Advice on university10:31 Education v. work experience13:04 Narrowing down hiring candidates19:27 How Kirstine's finance team functions compared to others25:45 In-house v. outsourcing when it comes to finance28:03 Opportunities for improving the way finance works36:35 Advice for upcoming CFOs --------Sponsor:This show is brought to you by Soldo, the brighter way to manage business spending and expenses.

So you're not talking about the accounting department, you're talking about the department that's going to be really together with the business, delivering the product. So with SumUp or Square, any of those fintechs, finance is really the front of the show, together with the product and engineering team. So every time the FinTech launches a product, if you're talking about lending, if you're talking about estate pay out, or buy now pay later, any of those products, you have to have a source of findings in those products, in the background. The finance business partner will come in and really help the product to develop and that's something that I have passion for.”“Something that most of the CFOS will need to invest in is how do you put inside of the accounting team, finance squads and finance tribes to help you to give this step forward into the technology of the team as a whole.”“I think we need to realize and be patient. Every time you implement a new technology or you work with a new squad, there is the moment the team gets used to that you're able to explain what needs to be done. The product starts to work and then really you're able to take advantage and take the step up. It takes a little bit of time. So you need to be patient.”“When we put a squad to be working inside of finance, they need to have a tech lead. They need to have somebody because a finance person should be giving guidance, purely guidance and leave the technical part to an engineer. That's not something that energizes them. So for sure, create a structure where the squad inside of finance there's a tech lead, somebody that will be able to be their mentor and follow this person closely.”“I didn't impose on anybody that they needed to be a hundred percent here in the office. But, for me, to build this synergy among the team it is essential that we've been to the office at least two or three times a week. So now as a  rule, not a fixed rule because some of it is very nimble when, and I think we definitely cater to our employees, we're usually once to twice a week in the office and when we are launching something, a product, and then we will come probably every day because we need to be reading the contract, talking to the banks and talking to the engineering team.”“Sometimes the market makes over emotional decisions sometimes. But at the end of the day, the company should look within to see if what they have as products is something that's durable, something that will bring value to the company, not just for show but has a sense to it that this is a good product and you can back it up by engineers and by the process. I think these are the type of companies that will make it.”“Come out as more of an outspoken, especially towards women in leadership. It makes a difference when you see a woman occupying, especially a finance role, where they are having a leadership position to inspire others, and you literally can see even when you're in a room, if there are other women, see another woman, they will speak more, they will, they feel more empowered. So to me, I think for sure study. But if you're a woman besides studying, you have almost the obligation of spying on other women to grow.”“Essentially a joke which I give to my boss every day is, every time when you're in a meeting and you see only men around you, you should stop the meeting and say at least one person, at least one woman needs to be here. Because if there's only men in that table, something is wrong. You can have only one point of view. You are not getting a diverse point of view. You're not enriching the opinion there. You're not getting the other backgrounds.”--------Timestamp Topics:01:30 Path to CFO and Love for Finance06:24 Perception of Finance's Role08:18 Rethinking Future Finance Principles and Roles 11:30 Solving Finance Problems15:30 Trials, Tribulations, and Tools of Technology Implementation19:30 Remote Working and Team Collaboration 23:30 Finance Functions in Different Countries26:13 Finance Team Setup29:10 Future Finance Challenges and Initiatives35:30 Advice for Being a Successful and Effective CFO39:00 Promoting Opportunities for Women and Creating Diverse Teams--------Sponsor:This show is brought to you by Soldo, the brighter way to manage business spending and expenses.

This episode of the CFO Playbook features an interview with Ben Chrnelich, CFO at Symphony.com. Ben has a passion for Capital Markets Technology. He has spent his career focused on enabling trading organizations to utilize technology that drives efficiency and productivity. Always aspiring to become a CFO, Ben sees technology as a tool that can empower financial leaders to have an impact at organizations that previously was not possible because the volume of work was too much and too manual. Over the past two decades Ben has held financial and management leadership positions at Charles Schwab, Lehman Brothers, NYSE and IPC where he drove business strategy to adapt to the constantly evolving trading landscape. When not working, Ben is on the pitch, coaching soccer for NJ ODP and his daughter's teams.In this episode of the CFO Playbook, Ben talks about his appreciation for the rate of change that technology is bringing both to capital markets and the finance profession. He feels adapting to the new wave of technology applications is paramount to success, giving companies the tools needed to gather the information and data they need. Ben sees these self-serving tools as a way to create a far more dynamic, explorative, and effective type of collaboration within companies that can bring down information barriers and remove friction from daily finance functions. He also discusses his path to becoming a CFO, the importance of being a passionate and excited leader, and other traits he sees as important to being a partner and guiding finances within any organization. Take The CFO Playbook Listener Survey to help us improve the show.

There are plenty of times where you see people in potential CFO roles that don't have that strong of an accounting grasp and they can struggle to understand all the elements that happen in that side of the space.”“Without a high level of technology, access, and development in financial technology applications, it'd be very difficult to provide the information to a wide group of people. At the same time, you, as a CFO, would spend all your time just talking about numbers, as opposed to creating the environment that you can distribute that information out to all the interested parties.”“Your intellectual curiosity is paramount. Eventually the numbers tell you everything, but they don't tell you everything if you don't spend time understanding how they're built, how they're generated, and what themes are coming out of the numbers. So, you really need to have that intellectual curiosity.”“Part of being a leader is you have to expose yourself. And, it's a little bit of a cliche, but you have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. You have to put yourself out there a little bit. You have to know that if you put your head out, it might get knocked around a little. But, as long as you can keep doing that over time, you're going to be able to figure out how to lead. And people will look at that as someone that's comfortable taking a risk and pushing them forward.”“Numbers are foundational and numbers give security, but numbers don't tell all people what's actually happening in the business. They don't tell why clients are buying more of something. They don't say why something is seeing really good market penetration. They don't tell you why things aren't happening and you need to be able to, as a CFO, talk to non-financial people or really sophisticated business people who may not be into the numbers. Explain to them what's happening and why, and then support it back with the numbers. And I think when I see the CFOs that just do a phenomenal job, they can just traverse across the whole business environment, seamlessly weaving in numbers, operating metrics, product results, customer impact. It's just part of a comprehensive narrative of the business.”--------Time Stamp Topics:00:10 Career Path to CFO and Technology's Pace of Change05:00 Technology in Finance and Capital Markets06:00 Technology's Impact on Workflows and Software07:00 Development and Accessibility of Finance Systems09:00 Self-serving Technology Tools Bringing Down Information Barriers11:00 Real-Time and Relevant Insights13:45 Listening, Learning and Effort16:30 Being Effective and the Evolving Role of the CFO23:00 CFO Rules of Thumb for Leading27:00 Building the Best Team and Leadership Development30:30 Being a Reliable and Encouraging Leader33:30 Liberating Teams from Administrative Work36:30 Technologies for the Future40:00 Tips for Being a Successful CFO--------Sponsor:This show is brought to you by Soldo, the brighter way to manage business spending and expenses.

In his role of CFO at Enable, Nick Rose is carrying forward what he enjoyed most working on business transformation projects at Travis Perkins, and is driven by the change he's able to make happen at a small but quickly growing company.When Nick first joined Enable, he went from having 24,000 colleagues to 70. But headcount is rising fast, and Nick describes the company's evolution as “a constant state of change” as Enable has gone through two rounds of funding and expanded to three different countries since he arrived. Nick credits his experience in business transformation to help him to shift to a fast moving environment; in fact, he embraces the change that's necessary to achieve Enable's ambitious goals.Whether evaluating automation opportunities to layer on top of Enable's ERP system, or assessing whether a prospective hire is the right fit for his team, Nick takes a forward-thinking approach to his decision making. To help guide these decisions in the present, he and his team rely on measuring objectives and key results (OKRs) on a quarterly basis. As a result, Nick is confident that the finance department and beyond are aligned on the overarching goals of the company and how they'll work together to achieve them.On this episode of The CFO Playbook, Nick Rose, CFO at Enable, shares how he brings a transformation mindset to his role, describes the ways in which he's building a team that runs towards business challenges, and illustrates why adaptability is such an important quality in a CFO.Take The CFO Playbook Listener Survey to help us improve the show.

Craig Foster not only has over 25 years of management experience in finance, he's also worked on 35 different IPOs over the course of his career. He brings that expertise and more to his role today as CFO at Picsart. Early in his career, Craig was working in an advisory role at a Big 4 public accounting firm when he was approached by one of their rapid-scale clients, LoudCloud, to come in house. The leaders of the company, Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, were key players in the dot com boom and took a hands-on approach to leadership training. The “school” of LoudCloud was formative to how Craig would approach his management positions going forward. Being both a mentor and a mentee is important to Craig. Whether working in house or during his time as an adviser, he's built a network to help increase his learning. When Craig made the decision to transition to CFO for his first tenure at Ubiquiti Networks in 2013, that network helped him stay supported. And today at Picsart, Craig mentors his finance team with a forward-thinking approach and is always looking for ways to maximize their potential through technology.On this episode of The CFO Playbook, Craig Foster, CFO at Picsart, talks about coming up under Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz during the dot com boom, shares his philosophy on mentoring future CFOs, and outlines how he is always on the lookout for the right technology to execute finance goals.Take The CFO Playbook Listener Survey to help us improve the show.

Chip and Cern have their new equipment and are sounding better from an audio perspective, not content. There is nothing they can do about that. In high school Chip and Cern were eBay power users. Snagging sunglasses, baseball memorabilia and other goodies on the regular. Chip heard from a coworker that eBay has some good deals about some audio equipment. Chip went to get some stuff, but now he is banned from eBay. Hear that story and more on this episode of the Chip and Cern Show.   Chip and Cern’s mixer started to crap out, so it was time for a new one. Chip found a newer one on eBay that was a good deal, so threw some bids out. After some more research Chip found some better deals that were on “Or Best Offer” so he threw out a few more offers. The eBay marketplace    Chip found some guy on Facebook Marketplace that runs his own online radio station, http://www.allthebestoldies.com/, and wasn’t using this anymore, so Chip got a great deal on their new audio interface.    No sooner does Chip get back in the car from buying this new interface, then he gets a “you are the high bidder with 17mins left” notification. Chip knows his wife will murder him, so he tries to get out of this commitment. Chip was able to cancel the order, but at the price of getting banned from eBay because of his many canceled transactions in a few days.    Chip and Cern talk about how Facebook Marketplace has really taken over for the used selling stuff. Way less hassle than Craigslist and on Facebook you know whom you are dealing with.    Cern does a live price comparison for him Samsung Galaxy S7. eBay comes in at a cool $130 and on Facebook Marketplace they were going for well over $250. So there is your reason why ebay is on the down and out.    This brings Chip and Cern to check out eBays stock price and whatnot.    Chip has been killing the Facebook Marketplace game with his used stuff. Easy to sells, more trust for some reason.    Do you still play around on eBay? Let us know on Twitter at @chipandcernshow. Speaking of plugs, pick up your Chip and Cern Show swag (hats, shirts, and stickers) at www.chipandcernshow.com/shop.

Gentle readers and listeners! The March podcast is late, but it's here! Featuring a member of the class of 1999 (we're really branching out these days!), Osman Ahmed! We had a great conversation (for two and a half hours!) (Don't worry, only the last hour and a half is recorded.) (Because Steve was late. Really late.).I know, I know, you're wondering where the February and March leafy vegetables are. Well, feel free to harass Matthew about that. We'll just have to feature three leafy vegetables in April. And Katrina signed up for a CSA this summer, so fresh leafy vegetables will be all the rage.Also, Katrina has successfully eaten at least one vegetable a day for the last two weeks. That's a big deal for her, OKAY? Osman generously brought sparkling cider in honor of Katrina's recent engagement, so we had to take a selfie with it.From left to right, that's Steve, Osman, Katrina and Google Monkey. (Colloquially, he goes by Nick.) (Google Monkey made a brief appearance on this month's podcast.) The toast! With mugs! Osman also brought cupcakes in honor of Katrina and Google Monkey's engagement, so a cupcake selfie must be had! (They were delicious - tiny little bundt cakes.) Anyway, Katrina has a fancy Samsung Galaxy S7 phone that will take a selfie if you just hold your palm up. It recognizes the palm, then sets a timer and three seconds later - selfie! Osman was so excited about this new technology, that he didn't move his hand in time.Left to right: Steve, Osman, Katrina, Google Monkey Osman sporting his IMSA soccer jacket, circa 1999. Stylish IMSA fashion, that.

We follow up on using Face ID to authorize purchases with iTunes family purchases in iOS 11. You can now use the Square Cash app to purchase bitcoin. We discuss Apple's plan to postpone some new features to focus on performance and quality. It's time for the annual "Apple is doomed" discussion as pundits warn of iPhone X sales slowing down. Tim's iPhone X suffers from a "green line" OLED defect, which turns out to be a common problem on iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S7. Picks: iOS Ref Photo of Susan Kare by Norman Seeff

It's a warm Friday in Cincinnati. Most people would drive to the local ice cream dispensary and get their favorite tasty treat, but these dumb bastards decided to sit on a hot bus and talk about a bunch of bull shit. This podcast was produced exclusively on my Samsung Galaxy S7 while drinking Moscow Mules in my pool. Happy Friday you dumb bastards! Song: 6 Underground Artist: Sneaker Pimps

In U.S. News President Trump signed two executive orders on Saturday that were related to foreign trade. One order directs a review of all existing U.S. trade agreements while the second order establishes an Office of Trade and Manufacturing. Link to U.S. presidential executive orders: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/executive-orders At least 7 people were killed and dozens injured as tornadoes struck in Texas over the weekend.  Much of the damage was located in Van Zandy County with a population of over 52,000 according to census data.   Regarding another attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare, President Trump tweeted on Sunday that, “...healthcare plan is on its way.  Will have much lower premiums and deductibles while at the same time taking care of pre-existing conditions!” Link to Tweet:  https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/858660413873025024   The Climate March was held on Saturday in several cities throughout the U.S.  Some estimates claim that over 200,000 people attended the march in Washington D.C.  Signs held by marchers displayed varying messages with most advocating for protection of the environment.  However, some marchers relayed other messages such as “voting rights for all” and proclamations to “impeach Trump.” In public health news, there are 32 confirmed cases of measles in Minnesota.  Thirty of the cases are reported to be in Hennepin County.  Also, 31 out of the 32 confirmed cases are confirmed  to be unvaccinated.   Minnesota Department of Health site:.   http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/idepc/diseases/measles/index.html#Example1 In International News North Korea, also called the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, launched a ballistic missile on Friday that is reported to have exploded over land in North Korea.  President Trump responded on Twitter by saying that “North Korea disrespected the wishes of China and its highly respected Present when it launched, though unsuccessfully, a missile today.  Bad!” The government of Japan also protested the missile test. In Tech News The Pew Research Center recently released a study that found many Americans turned to Google to learn about the Flint Water crisis in 2014.  A key finding was that “even before the water crisis had started to unfold, residents of Flint had begun searching for information about their water at increased rates - largely preceding both government notice and heightened regional news coverage.”   Link to the Pew Research Center study:  http://www.journalism.org/essay/searching-for-news/   The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ was released in the U.S. on April 21st.  Many of you will remember the recall of the Samsung Galaxy S7+ last year due to faulty batteries.  So, what can we expect from S8 this time around?  We interviewed Michael Fisher, also know as The Mr. Mobile on YouTube.
