Life coach Andrea Millar joins us to talk about how accountants and tax pros can maintain their mental health during tax season.

In this episode, we talk to Chris Rivera from myCPE One about offshoring. What is it? Is it something to be scared of? How can it create growth onshore and lead to more jobs being created here?

Now that most businesses have filed their 1099s for the year, what can you do now to make next 1099 season (January of 2026) better? Jason flies solo on this episode to give 4 tips.
