Send us a text This bonus episode features the live recording from Wave Seattle, where I joined forces with Alyssa Lang (the Workflow Queen) and event host Erin Pohan for an authentic conversation about business, friendship, and finding your people in the accounting industry. We shared our "biz bestie" origin story, talked about navigating personal setbacks as business leaders, and answered real questions from the audience about everything from hiring to burnout. In this episode you’ll hear: How a mistakenly booked hotel room with one king bed instead of two queens led to the friendship that changed both our businesses Honest discussion about mental health, taking breaks, and why it's okay to pause when life gets overwhelming Concrete tips for networking, building authentic relationships, and creating your own "board of directors" for different areas of life Live answers to questions about hiring, social media strategy, competition vs. collaboration, and pushing through burnout Resources mentioned in this episode: Ambitious Bookkeeper Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ambitiousbookkeeper/ Asana, QBO, Xero, Marco Polo, ChatGPT Xero Con, Bridging the Gap Human Design Connect with Erin 🌐 Website: https://www.upkeeping.co/ 📱 IG: @upkeeping.co 🌊 WAVE Conference: @wave.seattle Connect with Alyssa: 🌐 Website: workflowqueen.com 📱 IG: @workflowqueen 🎙️ Podcast: Conquering Workflows & Systems with the Workflow Queen Thanks for listening.
