Paden Squires grew up in rural Missouri with firsthand experience of financial insecurity. That early exposure shaped his mission: help entrepreneurs grow wealth with clarity and confidence. In this episode, Paden breaks down why relying on your CPA for tax strategy is a mistake. Most CPAs are set up to file returns—not proactively plan.
He walks through high-impact tax strategies like the Augusta Rule and explains why business owners should think of tax strategy the same way they think about advertising: as an ROI tool, not an expense. With deep insight into entrepreneurial finance, Paden emphasizes building advisory relationships that prioritize long-term planning over reactive compliance.
He also sheds light on why so many accountants undervalue their work, run generic firms, and fail to deliver real value to business owners. If you’re running a 7-figure business and feel like you're leaving money on the table, this episode is your wake-up call.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
