Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Greatest Hits: Financial Planning 101 for College Students with Stephen Heath
Q: How do you coach your students to weigh the cost of a college against the benefits of their education?
Three core factors matter: internship opportunities, meaningful projects or capstones, and mentoring; along with the school's ability to provide actual work experience and on-campus recruitment, which together help ensure a solid first job after graduation.
Beyond the Spreadsheet: Why Finance Leaders Must Translate, Not Just Analyze
Q: How do you balance strategic oversight with getting into the weeds when needed?
Use a plan–do–report framework to structure analysis, focus on the top levers driving the forecast, and let AI assist after you have a clear plan and desired outcomes in mind.
Beyond the Spreadsheet: Why Finance Leaders Must Translate, Not Just Analyze
Q: What advice would you give to someone early in their career who wants to avoid being pigeonholed?
Nail your current role, then learn to ask lots of questions and translate insights across functions, becoming a true business partner who speaks both finance and the other teams' language.
Beyond the Spreadsheet: Why Finance Leaders Must Translate, Not Just Analyze
Q: When did you first realize that being cross-disciplinary could be a strength in finance?
Early on in my career at Honeywell, where I worked as a cost accountant in manufacturing, I gained shop-floor exposure that helped me see how financial numbers tied to real operations, which laid the foundation for becoming a generalist.
IPO Readiness for CFOs: Processes, Controls & Strategy for Going Public
Q: And looking back, how far in advance should companies realistically begin preparing their financial processes and internal controls if they feel like an IPO might be on the horizon?
Typically, start at least three to four years before an IPO, because ramping up finance processes, ERP integration, controls, and governance takes time and cannot be rushed without risking missteps that could derail the IPO or disrupt business operations.
