Most small business owners treat marketing like throwing spaghetti at the wall. You try Facebook ads. You update your website. You send out newsletters. Sometimes it works. Mostly it doesn't. And you have no idea why. Joanna Wiebe has a different approach: treat marketing like an engineering system, not a creative guessing game. As the founder of Copy Hackers, Joanna has spent years helping businesses build what she calls a "Copy Selling System". A repeatable assembly line that moves prospects from complete strangers to paying customers. No more random tactics. No more copying what worked for someone else's business. Just a structured, measurable process that works for YOUR customers. The Fatal Flaw in Most Marketing Here's the mistake almost every small business makes: they skip straight to talking about their product features. You've got a great service. You know all the bells and whistles. So naturally, you lead with those details, right? Wrong. Your prospects aren't ready to hear about your features yet. They don't even know they have a problem you can solve. Or if they do know they have a problem, they're still exploring different types of solutions. Joanna breaks down the journey every buyer takes through five distinct stages of awareness – and your message needs to match where they are in that journey. Jump ahead too fast, and you lose them. The Single Question That Changes Everything Want to know the secret to writing copy that actually resonates? Stop making it up and start listening. Joanna's team uses a brilliantly simple system: a one-question survey that appears on confirmation pages right after someone takes action. "What was going on in your life that brought you to [action] today?" That's it. One question. But the responses? Pure gold. People tell you their exact pain points, in their own words, at the exact moment they're most optimistic about solving their problem. This isn't feedback from angry customers on their way out. This is insight from engaged prospects who just voted with their wallet. This voice-of-customer data becomes the foundation for every piece of marketing you create. You're not guessing what matters to your audience. They're telling you directly. Make Your Solution Unforgettable Here's a five-minute exercise that could transform your positioning: Name the specific problem you solve. Not a general category, the exact issue your customers face. Name the specific mechanism in your service that solves it. What's the unique approach, process, or "secret sauce" that makes your solution work? Joanna calls these your "Unique Problem Mechanism" and "Unique Solution Mechanism." When you can articulate both clearly, you create a memorable, defensible position in the market. Think about Lucky Strike's "It's toasted" or TurboTax's "Refund Calculator." These aren't just taglines – they're named mechanisms that explain exactly how the product solves a specific problem. What's yours? Why AI Makes This Even More Critical With ChatGPT and other AI tools flooding the market with generic copy, standing out has never been more important, or more difficult. AI can write copy. But it can't interview your customers. It can't identify the specific pain points that drive your buyers. It can't build a systematic process that fits your business model. That's where you come in. The businesses that win in this new landscape won't be the ones with the fanciest AI prompts. They'll be the ones with the strongest systems, the deepest customer insights, and the clearest positioning.

College football's playoff landscape heats up as the Big 10 has frontrunners like Indiana and Ohio State as strong title contenders. The Hoosiers might even deserve to be No. 1. There's another Big 10 team to discuss, too. The Oregon Ducks reload for a national championship run. Can Dante Moore, Jamari Johnson, and a stacked defensive line fuel Oregon's quest for glory? Brian Smith and Spencer McLaughlin break down Oregon's star power, tight end depth, and the strategic challenge of replacing key players like Kenyan Sadiq. Is Oregon's kicking game their Achilles' heel in clutch moments?Bold predictions shape the race for 2026: Indiana and Miami surge into the College Football Playoff spotlight, while Texas Tech faces skepticism despite an easy Big 12 schedule. Surprise contenders like the California Golden Bears and Arizona State Sun Devils rise as potential dark horses, and the Houston Cougars' dynamic coaching staff could shake up the conference hierarchy. Playoff expansion, strength of schedule, and the Big 12's shot at multiple bids headline the discussion. Will preseason hype derail a favorite or fuel an unlikely Playoff run?Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it's time to make it official.

I don't know anyone who enjoys filing their taxes. It is something we begrudgingly do every April, or earlier for the well-organized, and it is usually a somewhat painful exercise. What if filing your taxes was easy, taking less than 30 minutes? What if tax planning wasn't a once-a-year chore but an embedded feature in your banking app, payroll platform, or investment account?In this episode, I sit down with Ben Borodach, founder and CEO of april, the first company to build a nationally licensed tax engine in over 15 years. Ben shares how april is transforming tax from an annual burden into real-time financial intelligence, partnering with banks, fintechs, and payroll platforms to embed tax services directly into the financial tools Americans already use. We discuss the massive technical challenge of building tax infrastructure from scratch, why embedded tax makes sense for financial institutions, and how bringing tax decisions to the point of transaction, whether selling stock, adjusting payroll withholding, or buying a home, can fundamentally change how people manage their financial lives.In this podcast you will learn:How he came to the idea of building a fintech company focused on tax.How april was incubated inside Team8.Why they decided to create an embedded tax solution rather than go direct to consumer.What their product offering does.How they are helping consumers to think about taxes beyond once a year.The three categories of companies they are focused on.Why banks should be offering tax services to their customers.Why being integrated into the banking cores is not a high priority right now.How april is different to the big tax providers, TurboTax and H&R Block.How their customers present the tax offerings.What it means to be a nationally licensed e-file provider.How they integrate with the IRS and the state tax agencies.How they are leveraging the growth of embedded finance.What is involved from a technology perspective to integrate with april.How he thinks about tax policy, as a tax infrastructure company.Ben's vision for april.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

New year, new interest rates? It's a strong maybe. That isn't the most helpful answer, but if you are close to closing on a new house, should you wait to see if they drop or lock in now? Nate Reineke and Chelsea Jones discuss some factors to consider when deciding whether to wait or not. We also look at how a change might already be factored into the rate you're getting. We also answer your colleagues' questions. A Psychiatrist in Maine says, “My 13-year-old just received a couple hundred bucks at Christmas. He is very interested in investing that money. He doesn't have any earned income. Is it best to open a UTMA in his name, a 529, or a Roth IRA?” A Double doctor family in Hawaii asks, “My 18-year-old son just committed to a paid internship for this coming summer and will make enough money to fully fund a Roth IRA. What is the best way to set this up?” An Oncologist in Oklahoma is wondering, “I looked at our last paycheque for the year 2025. Based on my calculations, it's likely that we will not meet the safe harbor rules for 2025. I am not sure how this happened, as we are both W2 employees. I know that we will have to pay some penalties, but should I hire a CPA for taxes this year? Generally, I do the taxes myself, but I am not sure if TurboTax can run this analysis.” Are you ready to turn worries about taxes and investing into all the money you need for college and retirement? It's time to make a plan and get on track. To find out if we're a match visit physicianfamily.com and click get started or, you can ask a question of your own by emailing podcast@physicianfamily.com.

This week, Jason is joined by Executive Vice President and General Manager at Intuit's Consumer Group, Mark Notarainni! Mark leads customer success and expert platforms for products like Credit Karma and TurboTax. Mark's story is a powerful example of long-term career growth and leadership evolution from his early days managing teams and customer experience to now overseeing global strategy at one of the world's leading financial technology companies. His career is built on a people-first leadership, what it takes to thrive inside a major organization, and the lessons he's learned about mentorship, career resilience, and defining success.  Mark opens up about his very first job at Baskin Robbins in high school and how those early lessons stuck with him throughout his career.

Sparrow automates employee leave management—a compliance nightmare that consumes thousands of HR hours annually at companies with distributed workforces. With $64 million in total funding through their recent Series B, Sparrow has achieved 14x revenue growth between their Series A and Series B by solving what became an "insurmountable problem" as states, counties, and cities each passed conflicting paid leave regulations over the past decade. In this episode of BUILDERS, Deborah Hanus shares how she scaled from $1.2 million in her first year while running everything part-time by discovering that the path to enterprise adoption wasn't solving employee frustration—it was quantifying the hidden costs of compliance risk, payroll errors, and retention that director-level HR leaders were desperately trying to contain. Topics Discussed: The regulatory explosion that made leave management unsolvable in-house: overlapping federal, state, county, and city requirements across distributed teams How Sparrow pivoted from a $50-per-leave consumer product to enterprise software after discovering director-level buyers saw a fundamentally different problem than employees Why Sparrow's biggest competitor is internal management rather than other vendors, and how this shaped their entire go-to-market strategy The 4-10x ROI framework: how preventing paperwork errors that cost customers $1 million+ justifies $100K platform investments Scaling from founder-led sales with zero sales background through systematic hiring processes—including reaching out to 100+ candidates for their first sales hire Customer qualification strategy: vetting prospects not just for current pain, but for alignment with the product roadmap 2-3 years forward   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Map pain perception across org levels to find economic buyers: Employees experienced leave management as "taking me a lot of time"—roughly 20 hours of taxes-level complicated paperwork. Director-level HR leaders, CFOs, and employment lawyers saw something entirely different: retention problems from employees leaving after bad leave experiences, litigation risk from compliance gaps across jurisdictions, thousands spent on employment lawyers for each leave event, and payroll calculation errors when state programs cover partial wages. Deborah's initial consumer product hypothesis failed because employees would only pay TurboTax pricing (~$50), requiring massive volume. The enterprise motion succeeded because strategic buyers owned the full cost stack. Map how pain manifests at each organizational level, then build your ICP around whoever owns the aggregate business impact rather than the tactical workflow friction. Build ROI models around error prevention, not efficiency gains: Sparrow doesn't sell time savings—they sell payroll accuracy. Their typical customer sees 4-10x financial ROI because the platform prevents mistakes that cost significantly more than the subscription. When paperwork is filed incorrectly, employees miss 60-70% of pay for 12-20 weeks, and with 70% of Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck, employers often make up the difference to prevent attrition. A $100K Sparrow investment typically saves $1M+ in payroll corrections alone, before counting the thousands in hours HR spends with employment lawyers for each leave event. Calculate the true cost of the status quo—including error correction, compliance penalties, and retention impact—not just the labor hours your product eliminates. Design qualification frameworks for roadmap fit, not just current pain: Deborah emphasizes that "everyone has this problem, but not everyone is going to be a fit for the product today and where it's going to be two years from now." Sparrow deliberately vets whether prospects will be excited about their product evolution 3-4 years forward, not just whether they have leave management pain today. This drives retention and customer advocacy as capabilities expand. Build qualification criteria that assess prospect-product alignment across the entire customer lifecycle—including future module adoption, integration depth, and use case expansion—rather than optimizing only for closing deals on current functionality. Treat hiring as systematic sourcing, not urgent gap-filling: Despite being in "back-to-back calls all day" unable to "send order forms fast enough," Deborah took time to reach out to approximately 100 candidates to make their first sales hire. She emphasizes defining what each role should accomplish 5-10 years out, then building sourcing strategies to achieve 50% confidence in that long-term outcome. This intentional approach—coupled with her value of "scaling intentionally"—enabled efficient growth without typical scaling chaos. Resist the startup default of "just hire someone fast." Instead, invest upfront in role definition (including the 5-year trajectory), source systematically rather than opportunistically, and accept lower short-term velocity for higher long-term scaling efficiency. Recognize emotional volatility as statistical artifact, not signal: Deborah reframes the classic startup "highs and lows" through a data science lens: with sparse early data, founders overfit to individual signals. One person saying "your product is stupid" triggers existential doubt; one saying "everyone should use it" creates irrational exuberance. As companies scale and data accumulates, the noise averages out—70% neutral-to-good outcomes with 30% fires becomes manageable rather than anxiety-inducing. She found scaling "much easier than that first year" because "you can sort of plot out your trend line and you can see where you're going." Build systems to accumulate data points faster (more customer conversations, more experiments, more leading indicators), recognize that early-stage emotional swings reflect sample size rather than reality, and make decisions based on trend lines rather than individual data points. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

In this 30-minute episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, tax expert Carlotta Thompson (founder & CEO of Tax Strategies of America) breaks down practical, legal tax strategies that help entrepreneurs keep more capital and scale faster. Carlotta—an ex-IRS agent turned advocate—explains overlooked credits vs. deductions, when to upgrade from DIY tax software to a professional, and how tax clarity removes the mental drag that limits business growth. If you run a small business or own rental property, this episode gives actionable steps to reduce tax liability, reclaim focus, and use tax-smart moves to build long-term wealth. About the guest: Carlotta Thompson is founder & CEO of Tax Strategies of America and an ex-IRS agent who now helps entrepreneurs and real-estate investors minimize tax legally. She runs trainings and the Pathway to Zero program that teach practical credits, deductions, and structural moves to scale wealth. Key takeaways: Taxes are a common mental block for entrepreneurs; getting tax problems under control frees energy to grow your business. When net business income (after expenses) reaches ~$40,000, invest in a qualified tax professional — TurboTax generally won't capture advanced strategies. Distinguish tax credits (government pays you to do things) from deductions (reduce taxable income); many business activities qualify for credits you're likely missing. Use existing business actions and assets (R&D, accessibility upgrades, equipment repurposed for business) to capture credits — don't buy unnecessary items just for deductions. Keep organized records (spreadsheet or QuickBooks) of all expenses — include previously purchased personal items now used for business (computers, furniture, tools). Ask your accountant “How can I make this a tax deduction?” to promote creative, compliant planning rather than yes/no gatekeeping. Reclassifying or repositioning legitimate costs on returns (when supported by code/publication) can materially lower taxes without extra spending. Consider real estate and buying additional businesses as long-term tax-advantaged growth strategies; structure matters for wealth preservation.   How listeners can connect with Carlotta Thompson  : Search: Carlotta Thompson Finance on TikTok / Instagram / Facebook.

Stephen talks with Jack about how he makes retirement planning more accessible, collaborative, and user-friendly.

What does it take to deliver personalized financial guidance to more than 140 million people every single day? That is the question I put to Wan Agus, Head of Engineering at Intuit Credit Karma, in this episode of Tech Talks Daily. Most of us open the Credit Karma app to check our credit score, look at a loan option, or browse for a better credit card. What we rarely consider is the technology running behind the curtain. Wan revealed that his teams are powering more than 60 billion daily AI predictions to understand members' needs, protect their privacy, and guide them toward the right financial choices. He explained why accuracy is everything in fintech. A misplaced recommendation can mean more than a poor customer experience; it can damage someone's credit score and hold back their progress. Our conversation also looked at what happened after Intuit acquired Credit Karma. Two very different tech stacks had to be brought together, and identity systems had to be unified so members could move seamlessly between Credit Karma and products like TurboTax. Wan compared the process to playing two complex board games at once, where success depends on strategy and collaboration. We also explored how Credit Karma is blending traditional AI with generative AI. From early chatbot experiments to today's Wallet Analyzer and Tax Advisor, Wan shared how his teams decide when to push forward with new tools and when to slow down to ensure safety and trust. He also gave us a glimpse into the future, where agent-to-agent technology could bring open banking-style transparency to the U.S. So how do you scale personalization without losing trust? And what can every business leader learn from Credit Karma's balance between speed, culture, and responsibility? I would love to hear your thoughts after listening.

How do you keep innovating and disrupting when you're already the incumbent? And how do you prevent a $200B+ company from becoming slow and complacent? In this episode, CJ is joined by Sandeep Aujla, CFO of Intuit, who shares how one of the world's largest software companies continues to operate with the agility of a startup. With QuickBooks, TurboTax, Credit Karma, and MailChimp all falling in the Intuit family tree, serving both consumers and businesses, Sandeep breaks down the company's platform strategy, explains how he tells a unified story across these product lines, and describes how he prioritizes capital allocation. He also talks about Intuit's efforts to leverage AI to improve internal efficiencies, insights into the ideal CFO-CTO relationship, tactics for saying no, the benefits of letting stuff break, and how finance helped uncover a major growth opportunity for Intuit in the mid-market. The conversation touches on the company's 25 golden metrics, why leap years and the Super Bowl affect revenue, and the lesson Sandeep learned from a $2 coffee.—LINKS:Sandeep Aujla: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aujla/Intuit: https://www.intuit.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:30) Sponsor – Pulley | Brex | Aleph(07:11) Sandeep's Career Journey at Intuit(09:41) The Stigma Around CFOs and Seriousness(11:01) Being the Disruptor When You're Already the Incumbent(14:04) Intuit: Software, Payments, or Services Company?(15:21) Sponsor – RightRev | Navan | NetSuite |(19:00) The Intuit Family Tree(20:14) Cross-Platform Network Effects(21:54) Telling a Unified Story Across Multiple Product Lines(25:24) How Finance Discovered a Mid-Market Growth Opportunity(28:56) Reducing Churn by Keeping Customers on Platform(31:04) How Small Businesses Are Evolving To Leverage Tech and AI(34:11) How Sandeep Prioritises Capital Allocation(37:17) Tactics for Saying No Gracefully as a CFO(39:39) The Benefits of Letting Stuff Break(43:10) Reinvesting Across the Business: Consumer Versus Business(45:36) The CFO-CTO Relationship in the Age of AI(49:45) Tracking Intuit's Target for Internal AI Efficiency(52:06) Surprising Usage Patterns: Leap Years, Game of Thrones, etc(53:15) The Different Use Cases for AI Internally(55:48) The 25 Golden Metrics That Matter(58:45) Leap Years and Other Surprising Things That Impact the Business(1:00:04) Long-Ass Lightning Round: A Deadline Mistake(1:02:04) Advice to Younger Self(1:03:48) Finance Software Stack(1:04:36) A Bonus Question: Printed Notes(1:05:17) Craziest Expense Story—SPONSORS:Pulley is the cap table management platform built for CFOs and finance leaders who need reliable, audit-ready data and intuitive workflows, without the hidden fees or unreliable support.
