Santa's Naughty & Nice List: LLP's Best Episodes of 2025

Luigi couldn't make it to the mic this time… but don't worry, we had a special guest fresh off his sleigh: Santa Claus. That's right. After delivering toys across the globe, Santa himself dropped by to join Matt and help break down the Top 10 most-listened-to episodes of 2025.

What's stuffed in the stocking:

• How to protect your brand from copycats

• Why profit isn't just about more revenue

• The emotional side of being a founder (and why that's normal)

• The secret weapon difference between a CPA and a CFO

• And the tax strategy that legally makes five-figure bills disappear
