⚡ Some episodes teach. This one flips your idea of finance on its head. ⚡
When I sat down with Ben Cooper, Strategic CFO and the powerhouse behind Amplify, I realized quickly that this was not a normal money conversation. Ben went from writing songs in Nashville to building financial systems that help EOS businesses grow with clarity, confidence, and zero spreadsheet-induced migraines. And yes, it works.
Ben lives where creativity meets disciplined execution. He has seen how numbers can either empower a leadership team or quietly derail it. His message is simple. Finance is not math. It is strategy. And every leader who ignores it pays for it later.
Inside this sharp, high-signal conversation:
💡 How Ben turned a Nashville songwriting career into a CFO superpower
📏 Why every company must Measure, Adjust, Predict to create real financial traction
🧭 The hidden gap between EOS vision and the financial habits needed to support it
🤖 How AI is transforming CFO work, and why it will never replace human trust
🔥 The patterns Ben sees in leaders who use numbers to accelerate growth, not avoid it
Ben brings clarity, rhythm, and a totally refreshing take on financial leadership. His perspective will shift how you run your business and how you grow your life.
🎧 Tune in to hear how to Amplify your strategy, your decisions, and your impact.
