What if cash flow could save your business—and your peace of mind?
In this episode of I Date Money, Lisa Drennon sits down with Al Zdenek, a CPA, personal financial specialist, and bestselling author of Master Your Cash Flow. Al shares how he went from the brink of bankruptcy to financial independence by rethinking how money flows in and out of business. With 40+ years in wealth management and the launch of his new Cake Club App, Al reveals the key to making aligned financial decisions, how to plan for lumpy income, and why separating personal and business finances is non-negotiable.
This is a must-listen for entrepreneurs, especially those navigating the emotional rollercoaster of inconsistent income, scaling too fast, or still treating their business like a hobby.
