It’s always a treat to gather with other Fellows and Founders at the bi-annual VeraSage Symposium for good wine (in the true spirit of a symposium) and great conversation with revolutionary thinkers. One highlights of the event this year was a live broadcast of Ron and Ed’s radio show, The Soul of Enterprise, which featured many of the Fellows present plus additional guests. It’s jam packed with great revelations and insights (as well as laughs), and highly recommend you give it a listen.

You can catch the audio right from the page for Episode 167 (you’ll hear me starting at 6:27), as well as subscribe to their podcast in iTunes.

And don’t forget to check out The Soul of Enterprise’s website, their VoiceAmerica internet radio page, and the VeraSage website for more great resources. (Note: You can keep your eyes posted on the VeraSage website for the next VeraSage Symposium, currently anticipated to be in late 2019 in Australia.)

Two of my great mentors are Ron Baker and Ed Kless, from whom I’ve learned so much about how to think about business (not to mention they’re fun people to be around). It was a pleasure to be on their internet radio show Soul of Enterprise (and whose name I suspect is connected to a talk they once suggested I read called The Soul of Silicon by George Gilder, and which blew me away).

In this episode, we chatted about a book I had started reading, entitled An Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought by Murray N. Rothbard. (2 volumes) I’m actually still in the midst of reading the book since it’s so densely packed with history and insights, but we chatted about the origins of economics, the different theories of where value comes from over the years, how ideas and thought influence action, how value and accounting mix, and more.

At the annual Thriveal Deeper Weekend conference, hosts Jason Blumer and Greg Kyte record a live version of the great accounting podcast: the Thrivecast. In this episode they talk to the various attendees of the conference and get their take-aways from this year’s speaker Blair Enns who taught us advanced value pricing techniques.

You can catch all types of good snippets, and look for myself and Ian Vacin being interviewed starting at 36:45 right from the audio on the page for Episode 65.

I definitely recommend you check out the Deeper Weekend conference – it’s like none other I’ve been too, and of course the great Thriveal CPA Network.

It was great to spend some time with fellow VeraSage Fellow (say that ten times fast) Kirk Bowman on the podcast for his organization Art of Value. Our theme was “Making the Transition to Value Pricing” and we talked about things like what’s the first step when making the switch, what was easy/hard, what are some techniques to apply, resources to learn from, and more.

Check out the audio embedded on the page for Episode 70, and/or subscribe to the podcast in iTunes or other podcatchers (additional links available on the episode page).

And definitely recommend you check out Art of Value‘s blog, podcast, Facebook page, events, and other resources to help equip and encourage on your journey to value pricing.

You may recognize JetPack Workflow as a provider of simple client and workflow management software. It was fun to join David Cristello in their podcast to talk about being an entrepreneurial accountant, where we covered topics like the psychological shift needed to prepare for the future of accounting, the importance of taking breaks (and how to take them, even in tax season), and tips for how to be an entrepreneurial accountant.

You can catch the audio and show notes on the episode page, plus check out their podcast on iTunes or other podcatcher (additional links on the episode page).

And be sure to swing by JetPack’s website if you’re curious to see how their workflow solution works.

Each December the Thrivecast releases its “Secret Stash” episodes, which are previously unreleased snippets from all of their guests during the year. As a follow-up from my August 2014 interview, the December Thrivecast contained a secret stash snippet where I talked about the genesis of the value accounting model I was working on.

You can listen to the audio right from the page for Episode 42 with yours truly starting at 1:00:50, and of course catch their podcast in your favorite podcatcher.

My first Thrivecast appearance was to chat with two great hosts and great friends, Jason Blumer and Greg Kyte, about the newly christened Thriveal Lab and our first experiment on business model prototyping for the accounting profession.

In addition to the genesis and operation of the Lab, we talked about the principles of experimenting, and why accountants can find it hard even though it’s so necessary.

You can listen to the audio right from the page for Episode 38, and definitely be sure to subscribe to the Thrivecast for lots of great information, inspiration, and fun. If you’re an entrepreneurial-minded accountant, the Thriveal CPA Network is also a great way to connect with your tribe and grow – I highly recommend it!

Steve Major has a great podcast that’s part of his organization Pricing Power, and I was happy to join him to chat about value pricing, changing value propositions, technology’s impact on our psychology, and other topics in this interview.

Check out the audio embedded on the page for Episode 13, and/or subscribe to the podcast in iTunes or other podcatchers (additional links available on the episode page).

And definitely swing by Pricing Power’s website for services, resources, and insights on business models, measuring what matters, and the art of pricing.
