Scaling New Heights Podcast: Cutting Edge Training For Small Business Advisors
On this episode of the Woodard Report podcast, Joe speaks with Jan Haugo about how accounting firms can move beyond experimenting with AI and begin using it to transform workflows, increase profitability, and create more capacity for strategic advisory services. Jan shares practical approaches for overcoming security concerns and uncertainty, including her "pain, problem, prompt" method, while emphasizing the importance of firmwide training, strong governance, and leadership-driven adoption. They also explore how AI can help accountants become more thoughtful, empathetic advisors by freeing them to focus on the goals and challenges that matter most to their clients. About Jan Haugo Jan Haugo Vuicich is the founder of SmartAccountant.AI, an AI training and implementation company built for accounting professionals, by someone who spent years doing the actual work. She was named to MSN's Top 10 AI Leaders to Follow in 2026 and co-authored Intuit's AI Certification curriculum. Before any of that, she was running a small accounting practice, finishing her degree over a decade as a single mom, and logging 70+ hour weeks. That history is what makes her training different. She is not teaching from the outside. She built her frameworks from inside the same workflows her clients are trying to fix. Through SmartAccountant.AI, Jan runs the SMART Method Bootcamp, a foundational AI training program that has seen 100% adoption among participants, along with done-with-you training and direct AI implementation for firms ready to make real operational changes. She works with solo practitioners through mid-size accounting firms across the country, and the work is the same regardless of firm size: help owners and their teams reclaim their time, price their services at the level the work actually deserves, and build practices that hold up outside of tax season too.

In this Fourth of July weekend episode, Tricia Friedman speaks with Colin Woodard, director of Nationhood Lab at Salve Regina University's Pell Center, about national identity, civic trust, polarization, and the stories that shape how people understand belonging. Woodard's work asks a question that belongs in every civics and history classroom: What story holds a nation together? Drawing from his background as a historian, journalist, and researcher, he explains why national identity is not abstract. It shapes how people understand who belongs, what freedom means, how communities make decisions, and what kind of future they believe is possible. The conversation explores two competing visions of the United States: one rooted in civic ideals and the promise of equal freedom, and another rooted in exclusion, hierarchy, and inherited identity. For K–12 educators, this framing offers a powerful way to help students examine founding ideals without simplifying the conflict, contradiction, and struggle embedded in the American story. Woodard also discusses polarization and why Americans may agree on more than they realize, even while political systems and media environments often push people into opposing camps. The episode closes with a look at social capital: the local relationships, associations, clubs, faith communities, civic groups, and shared spaces that help people know and trust one another. This episode is especially useful for history teachers, civics teachers, humanities educators, curriculum leaders, and school communities preparing for America 250. It invites educators to help students think about national stories not as slogans, but as living civic questions: Who belongs? What do we owe one another? What makes trust possible? What kind of community are we trying to build? Suggested classroom connections include civic identity, polarization, primary source inquiry, constitutional ideals, national myths, media literacy, local community research, social capital, civil discourse, and student reflection on belonging and responsibility.

Colin Woodard, Director of Nationhood Lab at Salve Regina University's Pell Center and a New York Times best-selling author, will discuss how, surprisingly, where people settled during colonial times may still help explain some of America's deepest divides today. Using original research and polling data, he'll show how differences in trust, community engagement, health outcomes, and attitudes on major issues continue to vary across regions in remarkably consistent ways. At a more local level, the research also examined why some communities feel more connected, engaged, and trusting than others? The Social Capital Index looks at factors tied to strong communities, including volunteering, voter participation, involvement in local organizations, and overall community trust. Researchers say areas with higher social capital often experience stronger civic engagement, healthier communities, and a greater sense of connection. Even with regional differences, Woodard's research shows that a common belief in the principles of the Declaration of Independence still holds us together. Recent polling from Nationhood Lab found Americans agreed by a 97-2 margin that citizens are duty-bound to protect one another's rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. More than 80 percent of Americans said the country is defined by those shared principles, even during today's polarized political climate.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

On this episode of the Woodard Report podcast, Joe speaks with Jessica McKellar about her journey from studying computer science at MIT and building successful software startups to founding Pilot, a bookkeeping and accounting technology company. Jessica shares how Pilot evolved from solving the financial back-office challenges faced by entrepreneurs into a platform and explains how automation, AI, and value-based pricing are reshaping the economics of accounting firms. She also introduces Meridian, Pilot's new platform that enables autonomous bookkeeping, month-end close processes, and AI-assisted accounting workflows designed to help firms scale while improving both client and employee experiences. About Jessica McKellar Jessica McKellar is the co-founder and CEO of Pilot. She started the company with a simple conviction: small business owners shouldn't have to be their own bookkeeper, accountant, and financial advisor all at once. Today, Pilot serves more than 3,500 businesses, from neighborhood restaurants and retail shops to growing service businesses, helping owners get books off their plates so they can focus on what actually grows their company. Before Pilot, Jessica founded two other companies that were acquired by Oracle and Dropbox. She holds 3 degrees from MIT. Jessica also teaches programming at San Quentin State Prison and advocates for hiring formerly incarcerated people. She believes that excluding talented workers based on their records doesn't make business sense, and that second chances belong in the workplace too.

Your frontline team can only perform as well as the processes they're handed. So why are so many leaders still blaming the wrong people instead of listening to the ones closest to the problem? In this weeks' episode Chris sits down with Jason Woodard, a 35-year manufacturing veteran, CEO of Geislinger Corporation, and author of Manufacturing Leadership That Works. Jason gets pretty candid about what he's seen over the course of his career.

Getting into the valuable stuff, Jason talks about what it takes to build trust with your team, holding the right people accountable, and why leading yourself should come before leading anyone else. In this episode, find out: Why blame culture in manufacturing is almost always directed at the wrong people What Jason witnessed early in his career that shaped everything about how he leads today What Jason's time as a journeyman maintenance mechanic on the night shift taught him about leadership that no management role ever could What Geislinger Corporation actually makes and why it matters to critical infrastructure in the US Why the higher you climb, the less you actually know about what's happening on your floor How to build genuine trust with frontline workers without it feeling forced What to do when an employee raises a problem you can't immediately fix Why being great at the job you have today is the only path to the job you want tomorrow Enjoying the show?

The conversation also dives into the risks of over-automation and why human wisdom, context, and lived experience remain irreplaceable in an increasingly tech-driven world.

Not every seed fails because it was bad.Sometimes the soil was never ready.In this message, we unpack Jesus' parable of the sower in Mark 4 and explore the different conditions of the human heart. From hard soil… to shallow soil… to crowded soil… Jesus reveals why some people resist the Word, why some fall away, and why others produce lasting fruit.Using passages from Mark 4, Ezekiel 36, Galatians 3, and Psalms 92, we explore:• Why hard hearts reject what they can't control• How shallow roots create temporary faith• The danger of distraction and spiritual overcrowding• Why being planted in God's house matters• How Jesus became the Seed that crushed the curse• What it means to become “good soil”• How the Holy Spirit transforms hearts of stone into hearts of fleshThis message isn't just about hearing the Word.It's about becoming the kind of soil where the Word can grow.“Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop…” — Mark 4:20

Steve Hilton is a businessman and 2026 gubernatorial candidate for California.

Joe Woodard has trained over 150,000 accounting professionals and spent his career studying what separates firms that grow from firms that stay stuck. His answer? It almost always starts with pricing.In this conversation, Joe walks through the Woodard Ideal Practice Model, which focuses on seven key areas of operational excellence: brand, services, clients, technology, process, engagements, and team. But the most actionable insight he shares is simpler than a seven-part framework. He says the very first lever any firm should pull is pricing, and he lays out a specific strategy for doing it. Double the price on your bottom 20% of clients. If half of them stay, you have the same revenue. If all of them leave, you get the capacity back. Either way, you win.Joe also shares a measured perspective on AI adoption, noting that mass adoption in accounting is still 12 to 18 months away and that the best thing practitioners can do right now is learn directly from the developers of the platforms they already use.This episode is for firm owners curious about how to create capacity without hiring, practitioners ready to revisit their pricing strategy before the next busy season, leaders wondering where to start with advisory services, and anyone interested in a practical framework for building a more valuable practice.Timestamps00:14 - Introducing Joe Woodard: founder of Woodard, host of Scaling New Heights 02:03 - How Joe's practice led to Scaling New Heights and a coaching and consulting division 04:01 - The shift from compliance to advisory: what is holding CPA firms back 06:01 - Skill set and mindset working together: cash flow projections, dashboards, and KPIs 07:16 - The downward spiral: too busy to invest in new skills, team pressure, and turnover 09:18 - Applying the Pareto Principle to your CPA firm client base 10:42 - How to move methodically through the full client base after creating capacity 12:19 - How pricing improvements affect CPA firm valuation: revenue per FTE and clients per million 13:33 - Why the mindset block comes back around when targeting larger advisory clients 16:34 - How to reinvent your service structure instead of just improving the existing one 19:05 - Why most accounting firms are under-contracted and what to do about it 20:13 - AI adoption in accounting: where the profession is now and how fast it is moving 22:30 - Xero, QuickBooks, and Intuit: how AI integrations are already changing daily workflows 24:08 - Joe's story: his daughter, a butterfly named Alicia, and a mockingbird 27:01 - Book recommendation: "A World Without Work" by Daniel Susskind 29:03 - Where to find Joe Woodard online: woodard.comDownload Now: https://poegroupadvisors.com/accounting-practice-academy/increase-letter/Price increases are nothing to fear.
