Crystal sits down with George Castillo, a natural networker whose sales career was built on genuine relationships, not transactions. They cover what real networking looks like: skipping small talk, spotting a thriving group versus a stale one, leading with "how can I help you?" instead of collecting business cards, and a simple question technique to connect with anyone fast. If you get anxious walking into a room of strangers, this one's for you.

Welcome back to CFO Unplugged! In this episode, Crystal Haight of NW Book Pros sits down with her marketing strategist, Nathan Webster, for an incredibly vulnerable conversation about what happens when life, business, and finances all hit a breaking point at the same time.

Nathan opens up about growing up in a household where money was never discussed, to the financial realities of his time in the Marine Corps, to falling into the common business owner trap of writing off everything to avoid taxes, only to realize it hurt his long-term wealth and ability to buy a home.

When unexpected life changes, personal loss, and business shifts collided, Nathan knew it was time to hit the brakes. Crystal walks us through what an intense, 8-hour "Financial Reset" actually looks like. It's painful, it's uncomfortable, and it requires total vulnerability—but facing the raw numbers is the only way to build a reliable path to positive cash flow.

If you are a Pacific Northwest business owner feeling overwhelmed by your numbers, remember: it is okay to ask for help, and you deserve a safe space to do it.
