Look, I am very proud of the giant spreadsheet I built for tracking my clients’s marketing performance.

And another thing, maybe Redwing just doesn’t appreciate true beauty like accountants do.
excuse me??

Wait, you DON’T have a system for how you eat M&M’s or Skittles!?

This is a helpful and well thought out post about St Paul’s mayor race. I’m voting for Melvin Carter too.

I love that the Driver’s & Vehicle Services office in downtown St Paul can neither renew tabs or do anything with vehicle titles.

Maybe they should come up with a different name?

Was not prepared for the prominence frogs-as-symbols would factor into the fight for and against democracy.

My favorite thing about @bsky.app is how every video glitches and stops playing after about 1:08 seconds.

I love starting something and not being able to see the whole thing.

I think we’re right to be critical (enraged?) by comedians that are performing in Riyadh, but why do we give athletes (golf/soccer) a pass?

I hear people joke about how Arsenal never seems to get any of that sweet sweet Saudi money, but we want it.

I think that’s messed up.

I hate playing at Newcastle so much.

Does Norgaard realize he’s allowed to pass forward?

I can’t believe they cast Oliver Platt as Uncle Jimmy as JB Pritzker in The Bear.

Riding the Green Line from STP to Mpls today. A couple observations:

1. 4 Trip Agents on my train and every person I saw them check (other than me) didn’t pay the fare, said it was their first time riding the train, and no consequences.

Snuck into the Canopy Road Show with Jason Staats in Minneapolis today.

I did not exactly expect Happy Gilmore 2 to be good, but….

I was not prepared for how awful and not funny it was.

Truly an amazing achievement to set the standard for how bad a movie can be.

What does a good tax-focused firm's website need to do?

(FYI, it's not the same as a CAS firm)

Thanks #taxbs Tax Retreat for having me. I had to duck out a little early to get back for my kids. See you next year.

The most balanced firms are ones where:

Most of your clients
Use most of your services
Most of the time

When you have too many outliers where you’re customizing services (even if they’re paying high fees) just for them, you’re courting trouble.

How inappropriate is it to call out clients (or vendors) publicly for refusing to pay invoices or breaking contracts in other ways?

Should I just let this one go?
(I'm feeling frustrated and petty today)

Does your website have info about pricing?

It should.

Almost no millennial or Gen-z (~60% of purchase decision makers) wants to “Schedule a Call” to learn the price of your services.
