It's not all about the numbers! By GENCFO

Chris and Mike are joined by Julie Wong to explore why so many founders avoid the numbers — and how reframing finance as storytelling (not maths) helps leaders feel more in control and make better decisions.

We've got a guest host this week, as Mike is joined by previous guest Joel Johansen, with guest Jamie Arnold, about what to do when team dynamics go sideways — including a practical “silent retro” technique that helps teams reflect safely when trust is low.

Chris and Mike kick off the year (and series 4!) with an honest conversation about momentum, meaning, and why moving forward doesn’t require resolutions — just clarity and intent.

Chris and Mike kick off the year with a short New Year episode, reflecting on fresh starts, leadership growth, and why meaningful progress doesn’t need formal resolutions to stick.

Eriona Bajrakurtaj, founder of Vault Digital Transformation, joins Chris and Mike to challenge outdated stereotypes in accounting and explain why the profession’s future lies in confidence, relationships, and real business partnership—not just compliance and reports.

Tom Geraghty, co-founder of Psych Safety, breaks down what psychological safety really is, why it’s the foundation for high performance, and how leaders can move from “power over” to “power to” so people actually speak up, fix problems, and stop sleepwalking into disaster.

Back in 2024, Chris and Mike welcomed back Giuseppe Sollazzo, Deputy Director of Data Enablement at DWP, for a lively chat on data quality, teamwork, and the future of work.

Packed with anecdotes, humour, and sharp insights, this episode is more relevant than ever, and is a must-listen for anyone navigating the data and tech world.
