  • I have listened to every single one

    So I might be biased, but I am so excited about this. These are really fun stories that are usually told privately in board rooms or over beers, now for everyone to get to hear.

  • A true Master Class for all aspiring CFOs

    Each interview selects a key topic or subject area that any CFO will have to deal with. These are conversations that convey key learnings from industry veterans.

    CJ has a great interview style where he gives each guest the space to discuss each topic in depth.

    I often listen to each session multiple times given the volume of wisdom and experience from each conversation.

  • Run, don’t walk… to listen to this podcast!

    If you’ve ever plugged into CJ’s content on Substack, you know what to expect: high quality coverage of a variety of financial topics in an easy to consume package. Run the Numbers picks up in audio form where the newsletter leaves off, with high quality guests and really engaging conversations. (Who knew that a deep dive into TAM could be such a fun listen?) If you’re a CFO or SaaS pro looking to level up, I’d highly recommend tuning in!
