APPS WE LOVE
Visionary & Strategist at Boomer Consulting,
Inc.: " Jon Hubbard interviews a member of our
talented team every Tuesday. The focus is on the
trends we are seeing in the areas of leadership,
talent, technology, processes and growth. " Arianna Campbell, LSS Black Belt, Director, Boomer
Consulting, Inc. also recommends The Boomer
Briefing: " The podcast focuses on helping firms
solve a critical business issue in 20 minutes or
less. I love it because I learn new ideas to share
with firms. "
Go Beyond Disruption by the AICPA, recommended by Kacee Johnson, Strategic Advisor at
CPA.com: " Great insights on practical application and business considerations for emerging
technologies. "
Johnson also recommends:
* Cloud Accounting Podcast (mentioned above):
" David and Blake are witty and insightful. "
* Coming soon- the AICPA Town Hall podcast. " This
series provides the most up to date news on the
most pressing issues for the profession. "
* Breaking Beliefs by Amy Vetter. " She gets to the
real stories behind the success. "
EconTalk by Russ Roberts, recommended by
Ron Baker, Founder, VeraSage Institute: " Without
doubt my favorite is EconTalk. It's an in-depth
look at economic, and life, issues with authors.
It's civil, intelligent, and I learn from every single
episode. "
Future-Proof by Bill Sheridan, recommended
by Tom Hood, CPA.CITP, CGMA, CEO Maryland
Association of CPAs. " Future-Proof is my favorite.
Bill is a trend hunter looking for 'weak signals
of disruptive change' and interviews the leading
voices in our profession in addition to the thought
leaders shaping business like Tom Peters, Brian Solis,
Simon SInek, Daniel Burrus and more. I find myself
tuning in frequently and often stopping to take
notes! My absolute favorite episode is, 'Anticipatory
Thinking in Uncertain Times' with Daniel Burrus as
it includes clips of several big names (Tom Peters,
X-Labs, Jeffrey Rogers from Singularity U.) we should
all be listening to.
Hood also recommends Tribe of Mentors by
Timothy Ferriss, based on the book of the same
name.
Revisionist History by Malcolm Gladwell,
recommended by Susan Coffey, CPA, CGMA,
Executive Vice President - Public Practice, AICPA:
" There are so many good episodes, it's hard to
choose. I guess if I had to pick one it would be the
Tortoise and the Hare, which discusses how the

legal profession picks its best and brightest and
who former Justice Scalia trusted most. "
Future Firm Accounting by Ryan Lazanis,
recommended by Blake Oliver, CPA, director
of marketing at Jirav: " Ryan Lazanis fills it up
with valuable insights and tips for firm owners.
I often share what I learn from Ryan on my own
Cloud Accounting Podcast, which focuses on
technology and especially the cloud accounting
app ecosystem. "
Breaking Beliefs by Amy Vetter, recommended by Jennifer Wilson, partner and cofounder, ConvergenceCoaching, LLC: " I love that
Amy is trying to get to the essence of the person
through the story of their journeys. And, as you
listen to several, themes emerge.
Wilson also recommends:
* Worklife with Adam Grant: " Everything he does
is smart, so much is research backed and he says
it like it is. Love his writing, too. "
* Accounting Today's podcast: " Love Dan Hood and
his quick wit and spontaneity and wisdom - and,
oh yeah, I appreciate the quality and breadth of
his guests, too. "
* Journal of Accountancy podcast: " Always a great
mix of topical areas and very timely on issues
facing the profession. "
The Daily by The New York Times, recommended by Jacquelyn Tracy, partner, Mandel
& Tracy LLC: " The podcast highlights in-depth
reporting on a specific topic each day, plus a
couple of minutes of what else I need to know
that day. Michael Barbero asks the questions
which ensure that anyone can grasp the topic. I
always learn something and it is 20 plus minutes
well spent. " Tracy also recommends:
* For fun, I like Here's the Thing which is Alec
Baldwin's interview show. He is actually a great
inter viewer and he talks to ever yone from
entertainers to politicians to businesswomen.
* My guiltiest podcast pleasure goes along with my
guiltiest TV pleasure. I still watch General Hospital
and two of the show's actors have a show called
That's Awesome with Steve Burton and Bradford
Anderson. They are a little silly sometimes, but
I do love hearing the backstage stories and how
the various actors on GH began their career and
ended up on the show. For me, it is great listening
for driving home at day's end!
Tax Rep Network by Eric Green, recommended by Sandi Leyva, president, Accountant's
Accelerator: " Eric Green's podcast is great
because he interviews so many IRS execs on his

show. CPAs can hear about the latest trends in
IRS enforcement, staffing, focus areas, and more.
The content is mostly tax resolution and topics
tangent to that. "
Leyva also recommends John Garrett's
What's Your AND podcast. " It features accounting professionals and their passions outside of
work. "
School of Greatness by Lewis Howes, recommended by Amy Vetter, CEO, The B3 Method
Institute: " He brings leaders, creatives and
spiritual gurus on to talk about success and
what they learned along the way. " Vetter also
recommends:
* Unlocking Us by Brene Brown: " She dives into
her research on vulnerability, shame, courage
and leadership with her guests abs has solo
podcasts too. "
* Breaking Beliefs by Amy Vetter: " Mine:) - - leaders
from firms, corporate, entrepreneurs and mindfulness experts tell their stories of how their belief
systems began when they were young and how
it has or hasn't served them as a leader along the
way. What they had to shift and become more
self-aware of once they were a leader and some
of their beliefs no longer served them. "
Finding Fearless by Madeline Pratt, recommended by Sarah Elliott, co-founder and principal at Intend2Lead, LLC: " I love this podcast and
appreciate the diversity of women interviewed.
It's bold, fearless and inspiring! " Elliott also
recommends:
* Breaking Beliefs by Amy Vetter: " I appreciate
the depth of her interviews and how she brings
to light the nuggets of wisdom that people share
so we can all apply it, no matter where we are in
our careers and lives. "
* Where Accountants Go by Mark Goldman: " I think
it's fun to listen to other accountants' stories, learn
from them and be inspired by all the possibilities
in this profession! "
