On The Big 4 Transparency Podcast, host Dominic Piscopo sat down with Erica Goode, founder of a solo accounting practice that generated over $180,000 in profit in 2024, all while working just 15 hours a week. Her secret? Ruthless efficiency, process-first thinking, and a bold rejection of traditional scaling models.
Goode’s path wasn’t planned. After leaving a corporate finance role to care for her two young kids, she took on one client with just two hours a week to spare.

As her children’s school hours expanded, so did her firm - but never beyond her self-imposed 15-hour weekly cap. “My business grew as fast as my kids did,” she quipped. Every new client required a new process improvement, creating a flywheel of efficiency and discipline.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
