Our Guest: Damien Martin

Greetings accounting high! Did you go to school and study for your credentials? Well according to Scott, he was born with his unique credentials and in this episode, he shares with Damien what those credentials are. Join us for a fun conversation with Damien Martin as he shares a bit about his non-traditional way of getting into tax through going to school for music, and how time is both precious and fast which is why it is so important to be intentional with the people in your life.  And we all know how much Scott despises emails and notifications so in honor of the discussion today, sit back, relax, put your phone away and open your mind because class is in session.
