About this episode
Inspired by Blue Angels pilot John Foley's keynote at Intuit Connect, Alicia explores the "Glad to Be Here" mindset and its connection to gratitude in the accounting profession. Alicia interviewed accountants during her recent conference season about the most impactful change they made this year, and their answers reveal transformations spanning client management, pricing models, hiring decisions, and even practice sales. She closes with reflections on what makes this work meaningful during a time of industry change.
