Are you using your numbers to inform your decisions or are you avoiding them?
Numbers don't define you, but they do tell you where you’re at and what you can do to change the future.
In this episode, I’m joined by my bookkeeper, Parker Stevenson, to talk about the 5 financial pitfalls you want to avoid as a business owner and the financial state of the coaching and consulting industry in 2022.
I’m also sharing some vulnerable stories from when I was $55K in debt and how I created a better relationship with money. All this is to say: If I can do it, you can too.
Parker is the Chief Business Officer at Evolved Finance: a bookkeeping firm that specializes in helping online entrepreneurs to build more profitable and financially stable online businesses. For over 7 years, Parker has been advising some of the top coaches, course creators, influencers, and thought leaders on how to make more sound business decisions using their financial data. Before joining Evolved Finance, Parker spent 5 years at Adidas America where he became the US product manager for golf footwear.
Whether you’re a numbers person or not, this is for you.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
