Looking for a fresh take on ethics in the business world? In this
insightful episode of Count Me In, host Adam Larson sits down
with acclaimed professors and Curt Verschoor Feature of the Year
authors Douglas Boyle, Daniel Haggerty, and Dana Hermanson. The
trio brings their unique expertise—and plenty of real-world
wisdom—to a lively conversation about what “virtue” really means
in accounting, finance, and leadership.
Daniel traces the roots of virtue all the way from Greek
philosophy to modern business, showing why courage, strength, and
excellence matter just as much today. Doug and Dana share
practical examples from their teaching and research, exploring
why business education often misses the mark on building
character—and how professionals at any stage can start making
ethical choices that go beyond simply following rules.
Tune in for a thought-provoking, accessible discussion that will
have you rethinking what it truly means to lead with integrity.

On this episode of Count Me In, host Adam Larson sits down with
Mike Jones, CEO and Managing Partner at Resound, for an
eye-opening conversation about branding in the accounting
industry. Mike shares his journey from helping his first
accounting firm client rebrand to building the Remarkabrand index
that tracks how firms stand out—or don’t. The two get into why
brand differentiation matters way beyond just picking a nice logo
or color scheme, and Mike breaks down the real business impacts,
from pricing flexibility to client loyalty and successful mergers
and acquisitions. With insights on branding pitfalls (hint:
acronyms and too much blue) and the impact of private equity on
firm identities, Mike offers practical advice that’s both
actionable and inspiring. Whether you’re in a solo practice or
part of a big firm, you’ll pick up fresh ideas on telling your
firm’s story, attracting new talent, and setting yourself apart
in a crowded market. Buckle up for a unique take on accounting
marketing you probably haven’t heard before!

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.
