What are some of the ways where we may actually be overspending or losing money and not even realizing it (7:20).

Spending too much because of not knowing what it's costing you to produce things (11:40). 

How often do we want to look at these individual lines of the things that we offer? (13:55)

Let's talk about something else that you work with clients on and that's their mindset around the idea of profit (17:48)

Let's talk about profit leaks around things that seem to be doing OK but maybe aren't optimized (20:44).
