Stop Getting Fucked by Your Own Business with Braden Adam Drake
Point Of The Story
Passion for the Signature Program
Braden explains why Unfuck Your Biz is his favorite offering and how it bundles legal, bookkeeping, and CPA support.
Babe, I love you, but we need to talk... If you're mixing your business money with your grocery money, you're fucked, and it's time to get unfucked.
In this episode, I sit down with Braden Drake from Not Avg Law — attorney, Le Creuset collector, and the only lawyer I know who uses "get fucked" as a business philosophy (but in a good way).
We're talking about all the ways your business might be getting you into trouble without you even knowing it, and how to unfuck yourself before the IRS comes knocking.
TOPICS & TANGENTS
— The "oh shit" cycle of back taxes (and how to break it)
— Why your team members are probably employees, not contractors
— The time Braden sold a $1,000 pot on Facebook Marketplace to become a debt-free diva
— How to automate your tax savings so your ADHD brain doesn't forget
— Business insurance, trademarks, and other things that'll save your ass
POINT OF THE STORY
Your business is only as strong as its legal and financial foundation. Get a separate bank account, pay your quarterly taxes, classify your team correctly, and protect your brand — because unfucking your business later is way more expensive than doing it right the first time.
