Ep. 309: Jameson Galey - Learning and Growing with Every Career Leap

On this episode of Count Me In, Adam Larson sits down with
Jameson Galey, CMA, CPA, and dynamic finance leader whose career
has spanned TV production, entrepreneurship, and innovative tech
startups. Jameson is also the founder of Ledgeroo, a platform
designed to help bring accounting education to the world by
making it affordable and accessible through bite-sized, gamified
lessons. He shares how an unexpected opportunity launched him
into accounting, why he fell in love with the field, and the wild
ride of becoming a CFO at just 29 years old (including a “tiny”
life change: getting married right before the pandemic hit!).
From navigating the tricky finances behind hit shows like
"Married at First Sight," to building financial systems for a
solar tech startup, Jameson’s story is packed with lessons about
taking risks, hustling for what you want (hint: sometimes that
involves Craigslist), and keeping your passion for learning
alive.


 


Jameson gives us a candid look at what it’s like to transition
between industries, build your own tools from scratch, and
bravely bet on yourself when everyone says otherwise. Whether
you’re an accounting pro, an aspiring entrepreneur, or just love
a good real-world success story, you’ll find inspiration and
maybe a few laughs in this engaging, relatable conversation.
