AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

We've never done this before, but we sure will do it again:And now

Instead of our recent edutainment (is that even a word?), this week we're sharing a serious interview. Easy to listen do, lots of great info. May I set the stage? 

Mike DeSiato is a senior pro. He's led an incredibly successful career delivering financial advice, tax planning, and exit planning services. Mike's just moved from Cherry Beakert CPAs to start his own firm Business Transition Specialists. In addition to his many on-point credentials, Mike has completed Growth Drive Specialist certification and the Fearless Business Advisor client workshop facilitator course. He's a super dedicated pro, right?
