Pros & Conversations
Pros and Conversations explores what it takes to be successful, whether you’re from the world of business, science or the arts. But more than a series of inspiring conversations, guests share real-world tips and insights, providing listeners with the tools they need to achieve their entrepreneurial goals. Host Peter Reynolds and co-host Damon Adachi pull back the curtain to discover the story behind the success, the person behind the professional. The answers are often surprising and always entertaining.
In this episode of Pros and Conversations, hosts Peter Reynolds and Damon Adachi explore what it takes to turn a passion project into a full-time business.
They’re joined by Steve Ackroyd, a seasoned CPA with over 20 years of experience helping entrepreneurs transition from side hustles to sustainable success. Steve shares key insights on cash flow management, tax planning, and knowing when to incorporate—essential steps for any new business owner.
Together, they discuss the value of financial discipline, trusted advisors, and planning for growth—whether hiring staff or preparing for expansion. Throughout the episode, Peter and Damon emphasize that while you may be in business for yourself, you don’t have to do it by yourself.
A must-listen for anyone ready to turn their passion into a sustainable enterprise.
