Speaking & podcasts

Want me to speak to your people?

There are few things I love more than a captive audience. Whether it's a summit, an online course, a membership, or an in-person event, I'll make legal and tax the most fun session on the agenda. (Yes, really.)

I've spoken on stages like Wedding MBA, been a guest on 30+ podcasts, and host 300+ episodes of my own show, Unf*ck Your Biz with Braden.

Off the clock

When I'm not unf*cking businesses, I'm throwing heavy stuff around.

I compete in CrossFit, which means a lot of barbells, a lot of burpees, and a lot of red shoes. Turns out building a strong business and a strong deadlift take the same thing: the right foundation and showing up consistently.

And this is how I feel about surprise tax bills.
