    Tax Strategies for Business Owners
    May 2 2025
    Dean Vance - Vance and Associates CPA On a the Brutal Truth About the CPA World: "It's the people who are not part of the orthodoxy who are outside the box that ask those, quote, unquote, 'silly questions', that actually dig in. 99% of this space has been following a fallacy about things." As an entrepreneur, the government rewards you, kind of, for building your business to create jobs and keep the economy moving. But these rewards are typically given as tax breaks that are not at the forefront of the minds of accountants. You know them the professionals that you trust to know the tax code to help minimize your tax burden. Dean Vance is a CPA that comes at this from a different angle. Dean has an eye and a mind for helping business owners navigate the tax code to make sure they are taking advantage of the opportunities the tax code offers them. Dean Vance of Vance and Associates CPA talks taxes, accounting, and small business finance. As a seasoned CPA with nearly thirty years of experience, Dean shares the ins and outs of tax strategy, the importance of tax planning, and why having someone regularly “look under the hood” of your business books can make all the difference. The conversation covers everything from the often-overlooked tax opportunities for small business owners—like paying your kids to work in your business—to the crucial role of systems, checklists, and company culture in building a successful business. Dean also gives listeners a peek behind the scenes of his own firm, discusses the value of industry specialization (“riches are in niches!”), and highlights the human side of accounting, including personality fit and team building. Along the way, James and Dean swap stories about navigating the real challenges and triumphs that come with entrepreneurship, making this episode a must-listen for business owners who want to stop leaving money on the table and start running a leaner, smarter operation. Whether you’re dreading tax season or just want to better understand the numbers driving your business, you’ll find plenty of practical wisdom—and maybe a little inspiration—in this week’s conversation. Listen as Dean shares some tax tips, as well as offers you things to look for when searching for a professional to help you with you tax strategy. Enjoy!

You want a professional who knows what they're doing to In go through your books and say, hey. Just like I mentioned with my with the the the prospect that that turns into a client was, you know, just have somebody who does this all the time. Right?

    Using Authentic Leadership in Business
    Apr 25 2025
    Tammy Cho - Path to the Heart On a Question Every Entrepreneur Should Routinely Ask Themselves: "Where are you not allowing yourself to be yourself, your authentic self?" We push and we grind and we hustle and we push some more. As entrepreneurs we do all of this in the name of success, freedom, happiness and perhaps a bit of stubborn ego. Pushing this hard can sometimes put us in a position of forgetting who we truly are. Even forgetting what we really want out of life and our business. Without realizing, or remembering what we are pushing for can lead to less success than we are capable of achieving, and possibly even worse, often in the form of health and wellness issues. Tammy Cho, founder of Path to the Heart, went down this path and realized it. She got up, changed course and now helps others explore the powerful intersection of personal healing and authentic leadership. Tammy shares her remarkable transition from working as a high-achieving nurse—who ultimately faced burnout and a life-changing panic attack—to creating a unique business dedicated to helping high achievers reconnect with their authentic selves. We’ll hear how her personal story of emotional struggle, navigating therapy, mastering NLP, and discovering energy work and psychosomatic therapy inspired her mission to serve entrepreneurs searching for more meaning and alignment in both their personal and professional lives. Tammy discusses the importance of self-awareness, energy leadership, and recognizing the masks many of us wear as business owners. Tammy opens up about her face and body analysis work, explaining how our physical features can reveal invisible blocks to our potential, and how aligning our mind, heart, and body can amplify our presence and leadership in any room. Listen as Tammy shares some powerful insights that will have you taking a moment to think about what you want, so you can focus on achieving exactly that. Enjoy!

Like, what what is that? It's when they're actually aligned in their mind and their heart and their soul and their will. Like, when you are in alignment in all these places, that's when your energy essence, you're leading the room by that. And it really doesn't matter what strategy, what words you're using because you're in alignment. It's just like you're in conviction.

    Jose Berlanga - Experienced Entrepreneur On the Skills to be a Successful Entrepreneur: "You have to be a little bit crazy, a little bit of a gambler, a little bit of a dreamer." Advice for an entrepreneur from an experienced business owner with years of dealing with the ups and downs of multiple businesses is invaluable. The simple fact is that we do not know it all, and sometimes a story from someone that has lived to tell a tale is a great example, or warning, for us. Jose Berlanga, the entrepreneurial force behind many businesses, from Italian Coffee Shops, to real estate investing. Jose opens up about his journey from launching his first business at just 17 years old in the oil and gas industry, to navigating the highs and lows of real estate development with his brother as a partner. Together, they discuss the realities of entrepreneurship—shedding light on the risks, sacrifices, and the unexpected learning curves that come with building businesses from the ground up. Jose also shares insights from his new books, including “The Business of Home Building,” “Dirt Rich,” and “Quantum Entrepreneurship,” each offering a candid look at what it truly takes to run successful companies and develop the entrepreneurial mindset. You will get an inside look at the importance of choosing the right partners, protecting your business during industry downturns, and why understanding your personal strengths (and weaknesses) are just as critical as managing cash flow. Listen as Jose shares some of his behind-the-scenes struggles and triumphs of business ownership, his hard-earned wisdom and actionable advice straight from someone who’s lived—and survived—it all. Enjoy!

And instead of putting some money aside, paying paying off some debt, consolidating our operation, we continue to grow and we continue to leverage and expand recklessly.
