The Confidence Curve

Your business might be making money on paper, but do you actually know where your cash is going?

Gabby Luoma, founder of MOD Ventures, joins Rick Bowers and co-host Mary on The Confidence Curve to explain how financial reporting and cash flow forecasting help business owners stop guessing and start making smarter decisions.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why your profit and loss statement doesn’t tell the whole story
• How accounts receivable, accounts payable, and cash flow affect your business
• The financial warning signs you shouldn’t ignore
• Why new sales won’t always solve deeper business problems
• How to recognize when you’ve become the bottleneck in your own company
• Why letting go of the “hero” role is essential for business growth
• How tracking the right financial metrics can help you plan with confidence

If you’re a founder or business owner tired of making decisions based on your bank balance, this conversation will help you understand your numbers, spot problems earlier, and build a business that doesn’t depend on you doing everything.

What if your next stage of revenue growth doesn’t require more leads?

In this episode, we sit down with Candice Frazer, CEO of AlphaRev, to uncover the “revenue hidden in plain sight” inside your existing business. We explore retention, customer expansion, win-back strategies, lost deals, and referrals, plus how to turn those opportunities into a repeatable revenue strategy.

Candace also explains why marketing, sales, and customer success should work as one revenue function, and how leaders can identify where revenue is leaking and prioritize what to fix first.

If you want to grow revenue without constantly chasing new leads, this episode is for you.
