They’re busy, they’re working hard, but the cash doesn’t reflect the effort. His focus is simple and direct: help them understand their numbers, regain control, and build businesses that actually pay them back. With more than 30 years of experience across startups, corporate finance (including GE Healthcare), real estate development, nonprofit leadership, and small business ownership, Brent blends financial rigor with practical entrepreneurship. As a CFA charterholder and Certified Entrepreneurial Mindset Facilitator, he brings both analytical depth and behavioral insight. He’s coached more than 1,000 entrepreneurs and decision-makers, leads pitch preparation programs for first-time fundraisers, and hosts the Entrepreneur Encounters podcast. His message is consistent: hustle has an expiration date. Real growth requires clarity, structure, and disciplined financial thinking. ********************************************************** Proposed Interview Structure: 1.
