    Fix Your Sleep Debt: Ultimate Guide for Business Owners w/ Dr. Bijoy John
    2025/05/21
    In this episode of Building the Premier Accounting Firm, Dr. Bijoy John, a board-certified sleep specialist, joins Roger Knecht to discuss the vital connection between sleep and mental health for business owners. He shares actionable strategies to improve sleep quality, manage anxiety, and boost overall well-being, crucial for thriving in the demanding accounting industry. Key Takeaways: ⏰ Prioritize dedicated worry time to manage anxiety and prevent racing thoughts before bed. 📱 Establish a tech-free bedroom to optimize melatonin production and improve sleep quality. 🍽️ Adjust eating and drinking habits to avoid disruptions like heartburn and frequent restroom visits. 😴 Recognize signs of sleep disorders and seek professional help when needed. 🛌 Invest in a quality mattress to address physical discomfort that may hinder sleep. Featured Quotes: Dr. John: “Sleep and mental health are very, very closely related. In fact, it’s got a bidirectional relationship where when you sleep better, you’re less anxious and when you’re less anxious, you sleep better.” Dr. John: “A bedroom is for sex and sleep in that order. Then everything else has to be outside.” Behind the Story: Dr. John shares his personal journey overcoming sleep struggles and emphasizes the societal undervaluation of sleep, highlighting the impact of misinformation and the importance of recognizing individual sleep needs. He also touches upon “sleep divorce,” the phenomenon where couples sleep separately to improve individual sleep quality, and provides insights on how this affects relationships.

    Rewind : From Accountant to Hero w/ Rhett Gagon
    2025/05/17

    Join us as we revisit this conversation from 2021!

    What a great topic and value add to an accounting firm.

    Rhett joins Roger to discuss services that can be offered to distinguish any accounting business as the one working to work with owners of real-estate. Consider this in-depth conversation regarding Cost Segregation and how it can make you the hero for your clients.

    This may be the unique selling proposition to help you niche your accounting services in the world of real-estate and investment properties.

    Get ready to take some notes, this is that good.

    Your Host: Roger Knecht, president of Universal Accounting Center

    Our Guest: Rhett Gagon

    Rhett Gagon holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brigham Young University. Much of Rhett’s professional career has involved working personally with high net-worth individuals; training and speaking at conferences on a local, regional and national level. Rhett’s expertise in Cost Segregation began in 2010 when he first joined Cost Segregation Authority. Rhett continues to speak on national and local levels helping the accounting world to better understand the value of cost segregation both to the investor and accounting firms alike. He has worked on thousand of Cost Segregation projects saving clients nationwide hundreds of millions of tax dollars & has helped build Cost Segregation Authority to become a real leader in the industry and what it is today.

    When not at work his love and passion is spending time with his wife & children if this can happen outside, he is happiest – whether snow skiing in the wintertime, or on the water when it gets hot, even chasing & wrestling his 4 kids at home make him happiest.

    Company Summary

    Cost Segregation Authority was first established in 2006 at the infancy of modern cost segregation services. It was founded in large part by a father and son team who had spent their career in the construction industry and became passionate about the tax-saving strategies associated with real estate investments. This family culture has stayed with us for over a decade and we endeavor to keep it this way for generations.

    You will find most cost segregation firms are full-time CPA firms or offer a dozen other services to maintain their margins. At Cost Segregation Authority our focus is exactly as our name implies. Hence, if you are a CPA or other tax advisor, you don’t have to worry about losing any tax return or other consulting revenue when introducing us to your clients. Our goal is to make you look good by performing the most accurate and tax-saving study possible. We are the good news in your practice and your partnership is paramount to our success.

They discuss practical strategies for rewiring your brain for optimism and resilience, offering actionable insights to overcome limiting beliefs. Key Takeaways: Recognize the value of having a “head coach” to gain perspective and challenge limiting beliefs. Implement daily, weekly, and quarterly routines to reinforce positive thinking and personal growth. Clarify your goals and create visual reminders to focus your subconscious mind on achieving them. Rewire your brain by replacing negative self-talk with positive affirmations and visualizations. Embrace the concept of turning stumbling blocks into stepping stones by focusing on core values.

That’d be a great place to start.” Behind the Story: Rob Zerbinsky shares his journey from the bicycle industry to becoming a mindset expert, detailing how he learned to master his own mind and help others do the same.
