Biz-Souls

If you’ve ever thought, “You know what this podcast needs?” More accounting.” Congratulations, this episode is your Siberian Gulag. (Don’t you really wish it was more cowbell!)Rona does her very best to make this a fun episode. Still, everyone suffers just a little.This is the perfect podcast episode if you’ve ever said, “I should understand finance…” and then immediately open Hulu instead.On this thrilling installment of Biz-Souls, Rona Lewis bravely admits accounting is not her thing, while Jeffrey Handler enthusiastically proves… it is absolutely his thing.Together, they tackle:• The five drawers of accounting (no, not underwear… unfortunately).• Why QuickBooks makes entrepreneurs question their life choices?• The difference between accounting and finance. Spoiler alert: one records your pain, the other analyzes it!• And the magical world of ROI, where everyone pretends they know what they’re talking about.You’ll also learn:• Why might accountants secretly enjoy confusing you?• How “assets = liabilities + equity” became a personality test.• And how to get 100% ROI by doing absolutely nothing (finally, a strategy we can all commit to).Meanwhile, Rona’s eyes glaze over in real time, Jeffrey builds a metaphor about a filing cabinet that somehow becomes the entire financial system, and you’ll walk away knowing just enough to be dangerous at dinner parties and in boardrooms.Or at least enough to say “GAAP” confidently and hope no one asks follow-ups.This episode proves one thing: Accounting isn’t hard… it’s just loved by people who enjoy watching others suffer.So, share the pain, and follow and subscribe for a regular dose of pain only tickling usually generates. And sent Jeffrey a note if you’d like to see him develop more programs for your educational needs.Here are other Biz-Souls episodes … ones without numbers:Episode: Grace Under Fire (our 2nd most popular episode to date)• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BizSoulsPodcast• Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5QZkzexampleBizSoulsEpisode: How To Retrain Your Brain• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BizSoulsPodcast• Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5QZkzexampleBizSoulsEpisode: Play Games for Better Business!• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BizSoulsPodcast• Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5QZkzexampleBizSouls

This is the perfect podcast for anyone who’s ever tried to have a rational discussion and had it turned into a verbal explosion.In this episode of Biz-Souls, Rona Lewis and Jeffrey Hansler dive headfirst into moral framing that confounding when a simple conversation turns into good versus evil, us versus them, and “you’re wrong and I’m morally superior.” Critical thinking disappears in a single breath. From storytelling wisdom inspired by Annette Simmons to timeless insights from Aristotle – you know, the guy from all ancient Greece, and a more recent oldie, Don Miguel Ruiz. Meanwhile, social media (cough Mark Zuckerberg) might be pouring gasoline on the fire - because nothing says “healthy discourse” like algorithms designed to keep you outrage-scrolling at 2 a.m.But don’t worry, this isn’t just a rant-fest, Rona and Jeffrey supply real tools too: • Keep your cool when conversations heat up• Ask smarter questions instead of launching verbal grenades• Reframe arguments without losing your mind• And, brace yourself, how to listen betterIf you’ve ever wanted to win an argument without destroying a relationship or at least understand why Uncle Bob went off the rails at Thanksgiving, this episode is your playbook. Or maybe you just want to listen to discover how our Biz-Souls duo manages to stay funny on such a serious subject.Listen now. Think better. Argue smarter.
