Join Ryan Deiss and I in this enlightening episode of Business Lunch, where they delve into the often-overlooked yet crucial topic of accounting and finance. We discuss how entrepreneurial optimism can clash with the harsh realities of financial reporting. Learn how to navigate these challenges and foster a productive relationship with your CFO to ensure your company's financial health. Highlights: "You've got to be incredibly optimistic to be an entrepreneur. It's about walking very thin ropes without a net." "If it's only doom and gloom, it’s incredibly depressing and inaccurate. We need a balance between optimism and realistic financial reporting." "Support the team you've got to get the results you need, or you need a different team."
