What would you do if the IRS gave you 24 hours to pay a $171,000 debt that was never yours?

In the first episode of The Financially FAT Podcast, Ben Golden opens with the night that shaped everything. A revenue officer read his personal net worth back to him and told him to pay a logger client’s payroll taxes by morning.

Ben walks through the arrangement that put him on that account, the IRS procedure the agent skipped, and the old manual he found at 3 in the morning that changed the outcome. He also unpacks what FAT really stands for, Flexible, Adaptable, Teachable, and where it came from.

This is the origin of the show, who it is for, and the one thing Ben wants every owner who feels alone to hear. Listen now.
