  • Great

    Listening to for 10 years, what I have learned from this podcast is invaluable. I appreciate the contrarian point of views to the “conventional of wisdom” in the business world!

  • Bonus episode 436

    Greg’s comment at about 5:10 of bonus episode 436 available to Patreon subscribers about potentially “giving websites away for free” reminds me of my reflections on mid-market ERP implementation projects. In our case, both the customer’s transformation and their maximum potential lifetime value depend on an upgrade to Sage Intacct. I did not expect Joe Pine’s episode to be one to which I’d listen twice, but I think I’m about to queue it up again.

    Thank you for the good work,

    Brian

  • Obnoxiously arrogant

    I have read a few of Ron Baker’s books over the past 15 years. They started out having great ideas and I’ve implemented some of them. But over the years he’s become arrogant and spends more time bashing other models than providing real-life implementation ideas. I bought his latest book Time’s Up and immediately returned it. It was full of high-level concepts that were meaningless in practice. I discovered this podcast and decided to give it a try. On the one episode I listed to, Ed and Ron spen... more

Q: Tim, you describe the CFO as a truth-teller, not just a scorekeeper. Have you ever had to tell a leadership team that the numbers don't answer their question?
