This week, we talk with Josh Streimer about how his family-run firm thrives with clear roles, shared vision, and healthy boundaries—especially when your co-owner is your mom. You can't miss it.

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.

This is a helpful and well thought out post about St Paul’s mayor race. I’m voting for Melvin Carter too.
OK. I don't know why I did this, but I wrote up my run down of what I see as the condition of Saint Paul and then why I choose to support Mayor Carter

Thoughts on the Saint Paul Mayoral Race
I originally wrote this to get some thoughts down and then thought, why the hell does anyone care what I think? And I don't know if anyone cares about my thoughts but I wrote them anyway.

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?

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.

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.

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?

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?

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.
