    Nobody Talks About the โ€œButterfly Gooโ€ Stage of Transformation with Rachel Burr

    Host Kenny welcomes executive coach, author, speaker, and leadership consultant Rachel Burr to discuss the myths of personal transformation and her book, โ€œButterfly Goo: The Down and Dirty Truth of Transformation.โ€ Burr explains how social-media โ€œhighlight reelsโ€ can make change seem magical and unattainable, and uses the butterfly metaphor to show that real transformation requires entering the uncomfortable โ€œgooโ€ phaseโ€”dissolving old patterns and rebuilding from core โ€œbuilding blocks.โ€ She emphasizes that people donโ€™t find their path, they build it, and that hitting struggle doesnโ€™t mean youโ€™re doing it wrong. The conversation covers acting before feeling confident, treating emotions as data, silencing inner โ€œgremlins,โ€ setting goals while holding them lightly, and leading authentically rather than copying cookie-cutter models. Burr also describes the bookโ€™s optional โ€œplaygroundโ€ exercises and shares where to find her work. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:03 Why Transformation Feels Like a Myth 03:16 Butterfly Goo Explained 06:22 Where People Get Stuck 08:06 Act First Then Feel 12:00 Goals Values and Authentic Paths 15:04 Coaching Leaders to Be Themselves 17:39 Playground Exercises in the Book 19:35 Origin Story of Butterfly Goo 22:39 Where to Find the Book 23:33 Final Takeaways and Closing

    Tax Season Chaos? This Scheduling System Fixes It with Brenda Cannon

    Kenny Harper interviews Brenda Cannon about reducing tax-season chaos by scheduling tax prep and controlling workload instead of accepting documents anytime. Cannon explains how her firm previously promised 2โ€“3 week turnarounds without knowing capacity, leading to bottlenecks like 105 clients submitting documents on March 15, and how the pandemic highlighted the lack of workload control. Inspired by a podcast, she implemented a scheduling system using Calendly, Make, and Airtable, then co-developed the SchedulEase software to better track client scheduling, automate reminders, and support flexible calendars by preparer or client type. She emphasizes proactive client communication about extensions, using tax projections when needed, improving efficiency, reducing status checks and errors, and using scheduling for capacity planning, client fit, and better work-life balance. 00:00 Why Scheduling Matters 01:12 Meet Brenda Cannon 03:26 From Chaos to Control 05:11 Building SchedulEase 06:34 Client Buy In 08:42 Rolling It Out 15:22 Handling Extensions 15:48 Community and Setup 22:28 Capacity and Team 24:51 Lessons and Wrap Up

    How a CPA Built a 7-Figure Firm and Helped Clients Save $15M+ in Taxes | Michael Uadiale on Strategic Tax Planning Host Manny Torres interviews Michael Uadiale , a CPA and tax advisor with over 25 years of experience who founded a seven-figure firm and has helped clients collectively save over $15 million in taxes. Michael shares how moving to the U.S., earning a high-paying Silicon Valley job, and receiving a six-figure tax bill with no real planning from a hired CPA pushed him into tax advisory. He explains that tax outcomes can be shaped legally, ethically, and morally by using the tax code strategically, and describes challenges building his firm, including skeptical clients and CPAs resistant to planning. Michael emphasizes investing heavily in ongoing education due to constant law changes, hiring team members who value learning, and โ€œchanging your factsโ€ through restructuring to fit the tax code. He cites mentor Tom Wheelwright, author of Tax-Free Wealth and Robert Kiyosakiโ€™s CPA, and urges advisors to act as client advocates by planning ahead rather than delivering surprise tax bills.
