On this week's episode of "Building the Premier Accounting Firm", your host Roger Knecht sits down with Jesse Rubenfeld, founder of FinOptimal, a company that combines accounting and engineering to offer cost-efficient accounting services that utilize proprietary automation and onshore accountants, as they explore the intersection of accounting, technology, and the future of the accounting profession. Jesse shares his journey into accounting, which began with a background in music. He then dives into the genesis of FinOptimal, sharing how his company helps clients find the best accountants using six key questions. They also discuss the importance of accounting in business, and why it matters more than ever in today's rapidly changing economy. Jesse and Roger discuss how the accounting profession is evolving and why some accountants still fear technology in this rapidly growing and fast-automated profession.  Jesse also discusses both the limitations of Quickbooks-integrated apps and the changing role of accountants in future businesses. He also provides valuable insights on the significance of finance automation and its impact on the future of the accounting profession. Your Host: Roger Knecht, president of Universal Accounting Center Guest Name: Jesse Rubenfeld, CPA After growing up in Houston, Jesse Rubenfeld began his career in New York City at the Lime Group of companies doing the books for a variety of companies, gaining experience with non-profit, software industry, hedge fund, and management company accounting.

We've been thinking long and hard about community lately, working with the MECLABS SuperFunnel Cohorts (https://meclabs.com/MEC200-RSVP). I'm sure many of you are as well. It is certainly a popular topic right now for marketers.And here's one way I could know our community was working – when we could step back and not solve a community member's problem. When members were helping each other, collaborating, solving each other's problems. Making those valuable connections. That is a key inflection point to me.So when I read this lesson in a recent podcast guest application, it really stuck out to me – “You don't ‘build' community, you ‘facilitate' community.”It's not all about us, right? It's not all about the brand. It's all about them. Joining me for a dynamic discussion to share the lesson behind that story, along with many more lesson-filled stories, is  Dr. Marcus Collins, Head of Strategy, Wieden+Kennedy New York (WKNY) (https://www.wk.com/), and Clinical Assistant Professor of Marketing, University of Michigan's Ross School of Business (https://michiganross.umich.edu/).Wieden + Kennedy had $413.5 million in 2021 revenue, according to Campaign.Collins is in charge of the strategy department and leads a team of 70 at WKNY.Listen to our conversation using this embedded player or click through to your preferred audio streaming service using the links below it.Stories (with lessons) about what he made in marketingSome lessons from Collins that emerged in our discussion:Identity is more important than value propositionsYou don't “build" community, you “facilitate” communityWhen people feel seen, they also feel heard.If you have an idea and it's logical but people don't get it, then you're probably on to something even if people make you feel like you're wrongThe most powerful skill you can have is the ability to communicate—clearly and evocativelyExecution without good theory is a practice of luck, not strategyRelated content mentioned in this episodeValue Proposition Definition: Optimize your conversion rate with this powerful question (https://meclabs.com/course/sessions/value-proposition-definition/)PR, Writing, and Marketing Agency Corporate Culture: Think big (podcast episode #49) (https://www.marketingsherpa.com/article/interview/PR)Customer-First Marketing: A conversation with Wharton, MarketingSherpa, and MECLABS Institute (https://sherpablog.marketingsherpa.com/consumer-marketing/wharton-interview-customer-first-marketing/)Evidence-based Marketing: How to overcome the overconfidence bias (https://marketingexperiments.com/conversion-marketing/evidence-based-overconfidence)About this podcastThis podcast is not about marketing – it is about the marketer.

The SVB banking mess complicates the Federal Reserve’s path forward on interest rates — there are concerns about higher rates putting stress on the financial system, but the latest Consumer Price Index shows that inflation is still too high. Jeffrey Cleveland of Payden & Rygel has more. The banking crisis has prompted questions around whether regulators failed to detect — or act upon — red flags in either of the failed banks, explains Wharton professor Peter Conti-Brown. And, last week’s jobs report showed that women are becoming increasingly involved in the labor force after a pandemic-era dip.

Magic Words: What To Say To Get Your Way by Jonah Berger About the Book: New York Times bestselling author Jonah Berger's cutting-edge research reveals how six types of words can increase your impact in every area of life: from persuading others and building stronger relationships to boosting creativity and motivating teams. Almost everything we do involves words. Words are how we persuade, communicate, and connect. They're how leaders lead, salespeople sell, and parents parent. They're how teachers teach, policymakers govern, and doctors explain. Even our private thoughts rely on language. But certain words are more impactful than others. They're better at changing minds, engaging audiences, and driving action. What are these magic words, and how can we take advantage of their power? In Magic Words, internationally bestselling author Jonah Berger gives you an inside look at the new science of language and how you can use it. Technological advances in machine learning, computational linguistics, and natural language processing, combined with the digitization of everything from cover letters to conversations, have yielded unprecedented insights. Learn how salespeople convince clients, lawyers persuade juries, and storytellers captivate audiences; how teachers get kids to help and service representatives increase customer satisfaction; how startup founders secure funding, musicians make hits, and psychologists identified a Shakespearean manuscript without ever reading a play. This book is designed for anyone who wants to increase their impact. It provides a powerful toolkit and actionable techniques that can lead to extraordinary results. Whether you're trying to persuade a client, motivate a team, or get a whole organization to see things differently, this book will show you how to leverage the power of magic words. About the Author: Jonah Berger is a Professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, an internationally bestselling author, and a world-renowned expert on word of mouth, social influence, consumer behavior, and how products, ideas, and behaviors catch on.  He has published dozens of articles in top-tier academic journals, teaches Wharton's highest-rated online course, and popular accounts of his work often appear in places like The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Harvard Business Review.  Over a million copies of his three previous books, Contagious, Invisible Influence, and The Catalyst: How to Change Anyone's Mind are in print in over 35 countries around the world.

We had a recent SuperFunnel LiveClass (https://sherpablog.marketingsherpa.com/website-and-landing-page-design/lpo/), and I was giving conversion optimization advice to a participant – it's live optimization, we see the landing page for a few moments, and then give advice. And the page seemed off to me, so I had specific thoughts on the design and wording and such.And then Flint McGlaughlin went next, and he took a very different approach then I did. He didn't talk about the page, he talked about the entrepreneur behind this page. Why this offer? Why this product? How many books have you read about this topic in the past 24 months?He hit the underlying problem with the landing page. Not what was on it, per se. It's what wasn't beneath it. It didn't tie into the entrepreneur's personal value proposition. This person was not tapping into his passion, he was trying to get an offer out into the world and just make money.Who can blame him, you might say. Isn't that our job?Pushing pixels on a page is not enough – when you don't truly believe in what you're selling, it will hurt your marketing effectiveness. Our latest guest tapped into that caution as well. She said, “If you don't believe in the company or the product, your job as a marketer is going to suck.”So true. And I would add – your marketing is going to suck as well.You can here the story behind that lesson, and many more lesson-filled stories, from Melissa-Ann Chan, Head of Marketing, Arta Finance (https://artafinance.com/).Chan helped take a product from 0 to 100 million users, has worked on many lean teams at Google, and currently works on a team of three, along with a “bunch of contractors,” at the Series A startup.While in stealth mode, Arta Finance raised more than $90 million from Sequoia Capital India, Ribbit Capital, Coatue, and more than 140 tech and finance luminaries.Some lessons from Chan that emerged in our discussion:If you don't believe in the company or the product, your job as a marketer is going to suck. Put the most effort into figuring out what's the magic ‘a-ha!' moment of your customer, and relentlessly drive all your marketing efforts towards that.     Putting the user first doesn't always mean doing whatever users want.High-performing teams don't happen serendipitously Creativity and technology is a killer combo Cross-functional Power: Bring together product, engineering, UX, and marketing – and watch the sparks fly – in a good way!   Related content mentioned in this episodeContent Marketing: Harvard Business School's Michael Norton discusses surprising consumer behavior research (https://sherpablog.marketingsherpa.com/marketing/content-marketing-consumer-behavior-research/)Customer-First Marketing: A conversation with Wharton, MarketingSherpa, and MECLABS Institute (https://sherpablog.marketingsherpa.com/consumer-marketing/wharton-interview-customer-first-marketing/)Above-the-Fold Psychology: How to optimize the top 4 inches of your webpage (https://meclabs.com/course/sessions/above-the-fold-psychology/)Apply to be a guestIf you would like to apply to be a guest on How I Made It In Marketing, here is the podcast guest application – https://www.marketingsherpa.com/page/podcast-guest-application

Most crypto enthusiasts pride themselves on being tech visionaries. After all, they were among the first to back innovative blockchain technologies and even embrace Web3 and NFTs. Now there's a new innovation that's captured the public imagination, and it's getting a lot of buzz in the crypto world too. It's ChatGPT. Late last year, OpenAI's new chatbot sparked a conversation about the future of artificial intelligence. People on the internet were going CRAZY about its ability to craft human-like responses and even ace an exam from Wharton. Ever since, AI-linked crypto tokens have been on a rapid rise. At one point in early February, tokens from decentralized AI companies like SingularityNet and SingularityDAO soared over the span of just a couple of days. But as the fervor grows, so do concerns. And some industry insiders are warning investors against being too bullish. So, what exactly are AI tokens and how can they shape the industry? Bloomberg's Hannah Miller joins this episode.

It can be tempting to think one thing causes another because they happen in succession, but there's a lot to unwrap in the idea of causality. In this episode of All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions, hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen explain the difference between correlation and causality, and examine cases where it is tempting to assume one thing caused another, but the reality is quite different or even the opposite. They then discuss with Guido Imbens (Nobel Prize Winner and a chaired professor in Economics at the Stanford Graduate School of Business) the revolution in empirical work in economics that he helped start. All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions Podcast is a production of Stanford Graduate School of Business and is produced by University FM.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tom discusses the 2nd part of the planning process for business owners which is missingIn most businesses.  It's the “DESIGNED PLAN”, OR what Tom calls his GWT Business Plan. Most business owners' initial plan is the “Action Plan”.  This is the plan that gets their product or service to market to create cash flow and profits. It's the exciting plan, a plan that most entrepreneurs love.  However, the planning process which makes the business grow and profitable, along with other factors such as time freedom, great wealth, and expansion is basically left to chance. This is the Detail Plan, or GWT Business Plan. Learn about this planning system to help you implement another part of your planning that will determine the future of your business' success.  Tom Perrone, CLU, CIC, Author, Podcast Host, and President New England Consulting Group of Guilford, Inc.Helping business owners have awareness and avoid costly mistakes! 203 530 6615www.bpbpgrp.comwww.yourbusinessworth.com tperrone@necgginc.com

In Episode 1 of The Diversity Dimension Podcast Series, brought to you by GMAC, John A.

This episode of the Clear Admit podcast kicks off with a discussion about the flurry of activity on MBA LiveWire, which includes a good volume of interview invites (UPenn / Wharton added to the numbers this week), as well as a few waitlist admits. Alex and Graham then had a decent discussion regarding the Financial Times's 2023 MBA Global rankings. Three basic themes were discussed: Columbia's first #1 place, Wharton's absence, and your hosts' overall dislike of ordinal rankings (and the additional issues of trying to merge global programs into a single ranking). Graham highlighted two pieces from the Clear Admit site - a Valentine's Day piece that focused on the issues of applying to business school as a couple, and an interview tip that highlights the five most common questions in an MBA admissions interview. We then discussed London Business School's Class of 2022 employment report. They have a lower starting salary than their peer programs in the U.S., and it appears that more graduates are finding work in the U.K. rather than the wider Europe, which is likely a Brexit effect. That all said, LBS does very well with recruiters at leading companies like McKinsey, Bain and BCG. Finally, Graham highlighted an event we are hosting this Wednesday with current students at top programs including Berkeley / Haas, Chicago / Booth and SMU / Cox.  Sign up here: https://bit.ly/rhstudentslive This episode features three candidate reviews, taken from three ApplyWire entries: The first candidate has a really interesting background in media and entertainment. They have a strong GPA from "HYP" (Harvard, Yale or Princeton) and are seeking an MBA to transition to consulting (in the short term). They are targeting next season, and Alex and Graham think if they really do well on the GMAT and show decent quant skills overall, they should be aiming high. Alex and Graham also point out that Wharton is notably absent from their target list of programs. This week's second candidate graduated from Penn State with a 3.21. They have a GRE of 322, so both numbers fall a little below the median for the target programs they've selected. They have completed the CFA, and appear to have strong work experience, so Alex and Graham are hoping for some interview invites. Because they might want to target Denver post MBA, we discussed the importance of identifying programs that have a decent network in Denver. This week's final candidate is an M&A lawyer in India. They are targeting next season, and are looking at top European-based MBA programs. They seek to transition to VC/PE, which may be a tough pivot, especially if looking at one year programs. Alex and Graham stress the importance of acing the GMAT, showing strong quantitative scores, and applying in the first rounds. This candidate should be aiming high. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us!

Are you frustrated with working virtually with your teams? What would you tell those that blame the system for their burnout? What does leadership really means to your daily work?   What does being more human mean? How can it benefit you, your career and others?   In this special panel episode of the Creator Community with 3 Doctors and now authors, we explore humanism and how we can bring more of it to our lives and positively impact those in our lives.   We will never live in a world without stress, systems, or people. It is the attitude we take in viewing these elements that make the difference in how we live each day.   When we see the world as a place of discovery and learning, we connect more deeply with others and ultimately become more human.   Key Points: Leadership is not about the leaders, it is about the people you lead. Humanize the process and reconnect with yourself and others to bring out the best in everyone.    Goals start your journey, grit is required for the journey, and growth is the result of your journey.   The future of the workplace isn't just technology. The future of the workplace is being a better human.   Author Bios   Dr. Miriam Zylberglait Lisigurski (Dr. Z) is a triple Board Certified Physician in Internal Medicine, Geriatrics, and Obesity Medicine with extensive clinical and academic experience.
