As we roll into 2026, I will be sharing some interviews with a few curated company relationships. These are companies I know and trust, and people whose opinions I value. My intention is to share these collaborations with my audience of subscribers in members in hopes that they are equally beneficial to each of you.

My interview on today's spotlight is with Don Watson and Scott Haberman of the Eide Bailly accounting firm. Eide Bailly has a huge presence in the healthcare space. We dive into a wide variety of the "non-traditional" services that the firm offers as well as the benefits that many of you haven't considered. And, of course, we share our prognostications about the future of the industry!

This was "Year One" of the new business...and what a year it has been. I recently took some time to reflect on all of it, so I figured there might be a few "teaching moments" in there that could benefit you as well. I hope you enjoy listening to my journey as much as I have enjoyed living it. And I'm grateful to all of you for being part of it!

We've all been living in an echo chamber of "DSO Conference of the Month" sessions lately. I recently attended the Freedom Founders "Real Wealth Conference" in Dallas and it was beyond enlightening. Dr. David Phelps joins me behind the mic today to dive deep into things like: his personal journey; what "freedom" really means; concepts like counter-party risk; what a full economic cycle is; and different aspects of the conference itself. Buckle up because there's a TON in this one!
