ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Most financial advice was designed for employees with W-2s and a 30-year runway. If you're a business owner or entrepreneur, you've probably already figured out that it wasn't built for you.
Live Counterflow is for the ones the standard playbook missed.
Hosted by Amanda Neely, CFP® — Bank on Yourself Professional and Profit First Professional — each episode covers the financial principles that actually work for business owners: liquidity before growth, building wealth without requiring perfect timing or heroic discipline, and designing your finances around your real life instead of an idealized version of it.

“No, let’s plan around 10%. That’s what I’m going to assume.”

I wanted to be president of the United States. Not in the vague, anything’s-possible way kids get coached into saying ... I actually believed it, the way you believe things before anyone’s gotten around to telling you no.

Most people build a safety net for one kind of phone call: the lawsuit, the client who walks, the equipment that dies on a Tuesday. That’s not wrong ... it’s just half the story.
A reserve funded above the bare minimum isn’t only defense. It’s optionality. It’s what lets you say yes to the good pho…
We were a small coffee shop making less than a thousand dollars a day, some days a lot less. Compared to Starbucks, we sucked.
That wasn’t a throwaway line. It was actually what we told our team, out loud, at our third anniversary staff dinner. We handed out awards, ate cake, and then Brandon said …
I’m not much of a bettor. As a kid, I made small bets and lost almost every one, until I just stopped making them. I remember losing one and having to walk about a mile over it.

In October 2004, Brandon hosted a bonfire that almost burned a house down. That’s the night we met. I grew up in the country. I love a bonfire. I went. I was dating someone else at the time, so when Brandon started calling afterward, I didn’t answer. We ran into each other again months later, and t…
Mary Poppins was my favorite movie as a kid. I loved her the way kids love a good babysitter ... fun, a little magic, doesn’t yell. I understand her better every year I get older. She never flattered the Banks children or told Mr. Banks what he wanted to hear. She gave whichever medicine each of th…
