About The Podcast
This show features practitioners, IRS insiders, educators, and policy advocates who bring unusually diverse backgrounds to the conversation. For example, past guests include a magician-turned-tax-controversy-specialist, a former IRS communications chief, and a wealth manager. In addition, listeners have heard from a music-influenced policy advocate and a university professor who trains the next generation of tax pros.
More Than Tax Talk
Of course there’s talk about taxes, policy and sometimes referencing tax code sections, but more importantly it’s honest conversation about what it actually takes to serve taxpayers at the highest level. Beyond technical knowledge, the show treats emotional intelligence as a core professional skill.
You can expect to hear at least one of the following:
- IRS representation and tax controversy from the front lines
- Enrolled Agent career paths, credential advice, and SEE exam guidance
- Tax policy, IRS reform, and legislative advocacy
- Niche practice development — creative artists, international clients, small business owners
- The human side of client relationships: fear, trust, and emotional intelligence
But don’t be surprised by the unique perspective each episode brings.
