In this episode, we tear apart one of the biggest misconceptions in business: your accountant is NOT your advisor.

Too many business owners stay stuck, broke, and burnt out because they rely on accountants for strategic advice, when most accountants have never actually built or run a business themselves.

In this episode, we break down:

• The real difference between an accountant and an advisor
• Why mindset, psychology, and embodiment matter more than spreadsheets
• How personal growth and leadership fuel financial results
• The CFO-level decisions that make or break a business
• What to look for in a real advisor who can guide you to sustainable wealth

If you’re a founder, CEO, or business owner tired of generic financial advice, this episode will help you see the game differently, and start building a business that actually works for you.
