Show Notes – Dr. Naddy Office Hours 

Business, Biceps, & BS - Shadow Ops: Fighting Burnout in the CPA Trenches | Dr. Naddy Office Hours 

Behind every balance sheet is a story and behind every CPA is a human running on more than just caffeine. In this solo Office Hours session, Dr. Naddy takes on one of the most overlooked threats to our profession: burnout. Forget the buzzword spin, this is about mission hazard, mentorship, and keeping the fire lit without burning out. From “quick question” chaos to deep work in the shadows, we’ll reframe accounting as the noble, nerdy, and necessary craft it really is. Tune in, realign, and reignite your why.
