In this episode of the Real CFO Project, Chad Brown sits down with Paul Childers to unpack a hard truth most business owners avoid—getting access to capital won't solve broken systems. Paul shares his journey from the lending and brokerage world to building a business focused on helping owners gain clarity, control, and leverage before ever taking on debt.

From Garage Hustle to Scalable Growth with Jordan Goodfellow

In this episode of The Real CFO Project, host Chad Brown sits down with entrepreneur and AV business owner Jordan Goodfellow to break down the real journey of building a company from scratch—and the hard decisions required to scale it. Jordan shares how his business started out of necessity—recovering equipment from a bad deal and deciding to put it to work instead of cutting losses. What began in a garage with projectors being rented out while juggling freelance gigs quickly evolved into a growing equipment rental business. But growth didn't come without challenges. At a critical point, Jordan faced a decision many entrepreneurs struggle with: stay in the craft or step into ownership. Trying to do both led to missed expectations and a wake-up call that forced him to fully commit to being a business owner.

The Real CFO Project with Dwight Dye

In this episode of The Real CFO Project, Chad Brown sits down with tax strategist and entrepreneur Dwight Dye to unpack what high-level tax planning really looks like for business owners and high-income earners. Dwight's story starts in a family tax office — learning the craft from his father, growing a multi-office operation in Nashville, then stepping out of the daily grind to focus on strategy instead of transactions. After selling multiple locations, he shifted his focus toward advanced tax planning, building DWD Tax Strategy to serve entrepreneurs who had outgrown basic deductions. This conversation goes beyond the "standard plays" — Augusta Rule, accountable plans, retirement contributions — and dives into leveraged strategies designed for those with meaningful taxable income.
