    Light Still On (Russian Hip Hop cut)

    Send us a text Light Still On (Russian Hip Hop Cut) is Feedy & the Bank Feeds leaning into pressure, not poetry. This isn’t a gentle reflection — it’s restraint under distortion. Heavy beats, blunt delivery, and that cold, steady pulse that comes from choosing responsibility when nobody’s clapping and nothing’s on fire. The song lives in the space before drama. Before excuses. Before walking away feels justified. No sirens.  No chaos cosplay.  Just staying put when it would be easier to disappear. This track is about endurance that doesn’t announce itself — about keeping the switch on, holding the line, and refusing to trade responsibility for relief. Grunge attitude.  Hip-hop spine.  No heroics required. The light’s still on — not because it’s loud, but because someone stayed. Support the show ✨ Ready to take your books from chaos to clarity?

    Season 2 Episode 9 - Some Things Aren't Optional

    Send us a text Some Things Aren’t Optional Every system has things you can skip… and things you can’t. In this episode of The QuickBooks Wizard, we tell a story about responsibility, routine, and the quiet work that prevents problems long before they become emergencies. It’s funny in places, uncomfortable in others, and grounded in something every small business owner eventually learns the hard way: Some tasks don’t announce themselves as urgent.  They don’t break anything right away.  But when they’re ignored, the consequences always arrive later. This episode isn’t about theory, labels, or perfect workflows.  It’s about the unglamorous basics that keep everything else from drifting off course — and why skipping them feels harmless right up until it isn’t. You’ll hear: A cautionary tale from the WizardCarl putting structure around why “optional” work never really isA reminder that reliability isn’t flashy, but it’s powerfulAnd why doing your job when nothing is wrong is what keeps nothing from going wrongIf this episode made you laugh, think, or rethink something you’ve been putting off, please consider leaving a rating or review.

  3. Feedy & the Bank Feeds - Not Yours Yet

    Feedy & the Bank Feeds - Not Yours Yet

    Send us a text “Not Yours Yet” is a reminder to slow down before certainty hardens into story. This track lives in the space between impulse and judgment, where things are still forming and truth hasn’t fully introduced itself yet. Feedy & the Bank Feeds lean into restraint instead of resolution, letting distortion and weight carry a message about patience, humility, and resisting the urge to “fix” what hasn’t finished speaking. It’s grunge with a conscience. Heavy, grounded, and deliberate. This song isn’t about hesitation. It’s about respect.  Respect for process.  Respect for meaning.  Respect for the quiet moment before ownership begins. Sometimes the strongest move is not to decide. Sometimes the truth needs room to breathe. Support the show ✨ Ready to take your books from chaos to clarity? Learn how ABA can help at AutomatedBookkeepingAZ.com/clarity

    S2 E8 — Don't Let Bitey Fix Your Books

    Send us a text In this episode of The QuickBooks Wizard, Brian introduces a new voice to the show: Bitey McSlashypaws—the tiny, confident, absolutely convinced problem-solver who represents every shortcut instinct you’ve ever had in bookkeeping. Bitey means well.  Bitey is fast.  Bitey is certain. And Bitey is exactly how books get quietly broken. This episode explores the moment when irritation replaces clarity, when something feels “small enough to fix,” and emotion starts steering decisions. It’s the point where speed feels more attractive than understanding, and where confident guesses start replacing professional judgment. You’ll hear how: Annoyance becomes more dangerous than confusionCertainty is often emotional, not factual“Fixing” can be a form of avoidanceLetting something breathe protects the story of your booksAuthority doesn’t rush. It listens firstThrough humor, character interaction, and grounded accounting psychology, this episode reminds you that good bookkeeping is not about reacting faster. It’s about staying senior to the moment. Don’t let Bitey fix your books.  Let clarity do it instead. ⭐ If you enjoy the show, please take a moment to rate and review it.  Reviews help more people find calm, thoughtful bookkeeping in a noisy world. 🔁 Share this episode with someone who works in QuickBooks and feels constantly rushed.  Sometimes one reminder changes how a whole system is treated. 💛 Want to support the show?  You can donate here:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532410/support Your support helps keep the podcast independent, creative, and grounded.

  5. Feedy & The Bank Feeds - Before You Decide

    Feedy & The Bank Feeds - Before You Decide

    Send us a text Before You Decide is a quiet conversation between instinct and judgment. It’s about the moment just before certainty.  The breath before a choice.  The pause that keeps speed from becoming mistake. This song isn’t anti-technology.  It isn’t anti-progress.  It’s about staying human inside systems that move faster than understanding. When interfaces feel confident, when dashboards look resolved, when everything seems “ready,” this song asks a gentler question: What if clarity needs one more second? It’s a reflection on restraint, professionalism, and the kind of authority that doesn’t rush to close stories before they’ve finished speaking. This isn’t hesitation.  It’s discernment. And sometimes, that pause is where the truth becomes visible. Support the show ✨ Ready to take your books from chaos to clarity? Learn how ABA can help at AutomatedBookkeepingAZ.com/clarity

    Season 2 Episode 7 — Why Change Feels Like Failure

    Send us a text In this episode of The QuickBooks Wizard, we talk about why change so often feels like failure… even when your skills are solid and your work is sound. A new interface doesn’t erase your competence.  It disrupts your map. When layouts shift and familiar paths disappear, your brain reads that as uncertainty, not inconvenience. And uncertainty is heavy. It slows you down. It makes you question yourself. Not because you’ve lost ability, but because your orientation system is rebuilding. This episode is about reclaiming authority inside that moment. Not by fighting the software.  Not by rushing to “get fast again.”  But by understanding what your role really is when tools evolve. You’ll hear how: Confidence isn’t created by polished screensAuthority doesn’t come from speedAnd why judgment still belongs to you, not the interfaceIt’s a calm conversation about professionalism, restraint, and the quiet confidence that returns when you stop letting design changes define your worth.

  7. Don't Name It Yet (featuring The Wizard)

    JAN 8 · BONUS

    Don't Name It Yet (featuring The Wizard)

    Send us a text “Don’t Name It Yet” is about the moment before certainty hardens — when speed feels safer than truth, and labeling something too quickly offers quiet at a cost. Built around themes of pressure, shortcuts, and premature answers, the song explores how easy it is to staple down a guess just to make the tension stop — and how heavy that decision becomes later. Every system tells a story, and every label we apply turns uncertainty into narrative, whether it’s accurate or not  The Wizard appears here as a steady presence, not pushing for answers, but reminding us that restraint is not fear, and waiting is not failure. Some questions deserve space. Some truths arrive only if they’re not forced. This track sits with the discomfort most people rush past — the waiting room between “I don’t know yet” and “I’m sure.” It’s a refusal to trade clarity for quiet, or honesty for relief. If you’ve ever felt pressure to explain something before you really understood it — or watched a small guess turn into a story you had to defend — this song lives right there. Stay in the workshop. And don’t name it yet. Support the show ✨ Ready to take your books from chaos to clarity? Learn how ABA can help at AutomatedBookkeepingAZ.com/clarity

    Season Two Episode 6 - Before You Label It

    Send us a text Most bookkeeping problems don’t start as mistakes. They start as moments. A moment when something feels slightly off. A moment when you don’t have time to chase it. A moment when you tell yourself, “I’ll come back to this.” And then you don’t. In this episode of The QuickBooks Wizard, we slow that moment down. You’ll learn why labeling a transaction too quickly often creates more cleanup later — and how one simple pause can prevent confusion before it starts. This isn’t about being perfect or moving slower. It’s about being honest about what you know, what you don’t, and leaving context behind for future-you. The Three-Question Weekly Review This episode also introduces a short weekly review designed to restore orientation without turning into a fix-everything session. Once a week, ask: What changed that I should understand?What am I still guessing about?If nothing else changed next week, what would actually cause trouble?This review isn’t about cleanup.  It’s about clarity, sequencing, and reducing unnecessary pressure. You can find a one-page version of the three-question review 👉 here. If this episode helped you think more clearly, a quick rating or review helps other listeners find the show — especially those who need a calmer, more grounded approach to their books. And if you know someone who’s carrying too much financial noise, feel free to share this episode with them.
