    Episode 1288: The Science Behind Scaling Revenue with Mark Roberge

    Scaling is not just about selling more. It is about knowing when the business is truly ready to grow.   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Mark Roberge, Co-Founder & Managing Director at Stage 2 Capital, who shares lessons from helping HubSpot scale from its earliest days to IPO, including why founders often mistake early sales traction for true readiness to scale. He also discusses the role of product value, go-to-market strategy, venture capital, AI, fast-follower opportunities, and his decision to donate the book's proceeds to support mental health.    Key Takeaways: → Product value should take precedence over aggressive revenue growth. → The startup ecosystem needs greater discipline in revenue growth. → AI is creating major opportunities and societal challenges. → Fast followers often outperform first movers in the long run. → Founders need frameworks for scaling, not just ambition.   Mark Roberge is a Co-Founder at Stage 2 Capital, the first venture fund supported by over 1,000 top sales and marketing executives.

    Episode 1287: Why Once-a-Year Accounting Fails with Peter Holtz

    Most business owners do not lose control all at once. They lose it slowly, one missed number, one poor structure, and one reactive tax decision at a time.   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Peter Holtz, President of Peter Holtz CPA, who explains why traditional once-a-year accounting often leaves owners overpaying taxes, missing deductions, and making last-minute decisions that undermine long-term growth. He also explains how proactive planning, accurate books, smart business structure, margin awareness, and the right advisory team can help entrepreneurs regain control and build stronger, more profitable businesses.   Key Takeaways: → Business owners need proactive tax planning, not year-end panic attacks. → Accurate books are the foundation for better tax decisions. → The wrong business structure can cost owners money. → A good CPA should do more than fill out boxes on a tax return. → Tax strategy should align with the owner's, business's, and family's goals.    Peter Holtz is a seasoned CPA, entrepreneur, and tax strategist who helps business owners keep more of what they earn through proactive, year-round tax planning. With more than 20 years of experience, including time in Big 4 accounting and CFO roles for multiple companies, Peter has seen how traditional, once-a-year accounting often leaves business owners overpaying and underprepared. After recognizing the need for a more strategic approach, Peter built multiple eight-figure accounting firms designed to help business owners outsmart the IRS without relying on aggressive loopholes or unnecessary risk. He works with owners earning $500K to $10M+ to reduce taxes, protect wealth, and turn their CPA relationship into a true profit center.   Connect With Peter: Website: https://peterholtzcpa.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peterholtzcpa/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PeterHoltzCPA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/peterholtzcpa https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-holtz/

    Episode 1283: Why Traditional Financial Advice Fails Entrepreneurs with Garrett Gunderson

    What if the financial advice you’ve been following is holding you back?   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Garrett Gunderson, Wealth Liberation Expert and Best-Selling Author, who challenges traditional financial advice and explains why entrepreneurs need a fundamentally different approach to money, investing, and growth. He shares how mindset, cash flow strategy, and investing in yourself can create sustainable wealth and true financial independence.   Key Takeaways: → Scarcity thinking leads entrepreneurs to shrink rather than grow. → Traditional financial advice often conflicts with entrepreneurial success. → Financial independence comes from consistent cash flow, not just from assets. → Investing in skills and capabilities often outperforms traditional investments. → Focus drives growth, whereas diversification protects wealth.   Garrett Gunderson helps entrepreneurs build wealth with less stress, without sacrifice, and without being suffocated by spreadsheets that look like they were designed by NASA. Known as “Money Jesus,” Garrett uses humor, storytelling, and practical strategy to make money actually make sense. His Amazon Prime comedy special, The American Ream, proves he can turn even the driest financial concepts into something hilarious and unforgettable while still delivering life-changing insight. He’s also a rare advisor who helps entrepreneurs save on taxes and keep way more of what they earn without cutting back. Garrett started his first business at 15 and earned the SBA Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. He later entered the field of finance. He quickly realized the truth: no one teaches entrepreneurs the wealth strategies that actually work. After navigating the 2000 crash with brutal honesty, he devoted his life to studying what the wealthy really do, which led to his signature Rockefeller Method. Today, he helps entrepreneurs achieve financial freedom without sacrificing the life they’re building.   Connect With Garret: Website: https://garrettgunderson.com/

    The real reason your business isn’t scaling may surprise you.   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Robert Indries, Managing Partner at Elkridge Advisors, who explains how his firm helps business owners grow, optimize, and ultimately exit by identifying systemic issues, improving operations, and increasing company valuation. He highlights the critical roles of financial analysis, operational independence, and an outside perspective in transforming a business into a scalable, sellable asset.   Key Takeaways: → Scaling is easier when starting from an established revenue base. → Every recurring issue in a company indicates a missing system. → A business that depends on the owner is not yet a true asset. → External guidance is necessary to break through growth plateaus. → Real growth comes from optimizing structure, not just increasing revenue.   Robert Indries is an internationally recognized entrepreneur and business strategist who has generated over $500 million in results for his clients over the past decade.

    Episode 1281: Why Profit Isn’t What You Think It Is with Jay Aldebert

    What if your “profit” figure is giving you a false sense of security?   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Jay Aldebert, Chief Growth Officer at International Services, Inc., who explains that traditional accounting often overlooks critical financial realities, including debt service, working capital, and true profit requirements. He also shares how his system helps business owners uncover hidden financial gaps, improve decision-making, and build stronger, more sustainable companies.   Key Takeaways: → Most business owners treat profit as an afterthought rather than a necessity. → Accounting focuses on history, while finance focuses on what a business needs to do to survive. → Debt service is often overlooked in profit calculations but is critical to survival. → Financial reports are lagging indicators and don’t inform real-time decisions. → Every business has a minimum required profit determined by its financial structure.   Jay Aldebert is the architect behind a growing movement to replace traditional accounting as the primary decision-making system for business owners. After 25 years inside a $250 million consulting organization and conducting more than 86,000 field analyses, Jay concluded that most owners operate in financial fog, relying on backward-looking reports that fail to guide the future. He created Return to Owner (RTO), a performance system focused on operational control, profit engineering, and exit readiness—measuring success by what the owner actually takes home. Drawing on one of the largest real-world datasets of privately held businesses, Jay has identified why companies stall and profits disappear. Through his platform Profit by Design, he helps owners gain clarity, increase profitability, and build businesses that deliver real financial outcomes.   Connect With Jay: Website: https://profitbydesignconsulting.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayaldebert/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jay.aldebert LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaybaldebert/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jay_aldebert
