ABOUT THIS EPISODE

.

In this episode of The Ledger, we unpack one of the most frustrating realities for growing businesses: strong profits on paper, but never enough cash in the bank.

Morgan Wilson breaks down why this happens so often, even in well-run firms — and how cash flow blind spots quietly limit decision-making and growth.

We talk through the real reasons cash disappears, the signals most business owners miss, and how to regain control without becoming obsessed with spreadsheets.
