Founder, Get Your Life Back, is a podcast for owner-operators of founder-led businesses who are trapped by the very business they thought would give them freedom.


Hosted by Jennifer Todd, CPA, MBA, a business advisor with 28 years of experience, this show provides founders with the integrated answer most advisors never deliver: financial clarity and a team framework that works together to get you out of the weeds and into an actual leadership role in your own business.


This podcast covers the full picture of what it takes to stop being Chief Everything Officer and start leading like a CEO: conversations about small business cash flow problems and what your numbers are really telling you, the reason business owner burnout isn't a personal failing, how to raise prices without losing customers, how to delegate as a leader without watching quality fall apart, and what it takes to build a business that can run without you.


We'll answer questions like:


How do I stop being the bottleneck in my business?


How do I delegate without losing control?


How do I build a business that doesn’t depend on me?


How do I get out of the day-to-day of my business?


Why can’t I take a vacation as a business owner?


How do I hire my first employee?


How do I create systems in a small business?


How to scale a small business without burning out?


This show gives founders in skilled trades, personal services, professional services, and care businesses the financial grounding and structural framework to stop being the bottleneck and start building something they could someday step back from, sell, or hand off with confidence.


If you're a founder who's tired of being the last line of defense in your own business, Jennifer built this show for you.

    4: How to Stop Running Your Business Off the Bank Balance
    2026/07/20

    You know your numbers are supposed to tell you something useful. You're just not sure what you're looking at or why it keeps feeling like a judgment every time you open the report.

    This episode is for the founder who's been running their business off the bank balance and knows, somewhere in the back of their mind, that there's a better way to do this.

    I'm a CPA and business advisor with nearly 30 years of experience, and I ignored my own books for a stretch because I already knew what they'd say. In this episode, I walk through the two financial tools I use inside my own firm, why the standard P&L isn't giving you the full picture on small business profitability, and how a cash spend plan puts a name on every dollar so you can make decisions without doing mental math against a number that changes by the hour.

    00:00 – Overcoming the Fear and Shame Around Business Finances
    01:17 – Common Reasons Founders Ignore Their Numbers
    04:28 – Depersonalizing Your Financial Reports for Better Decisions
    07:03 – The Two Essential Metrics Every Founder Should Track
    10:23 – Building a Cash Spend Plan to Regain Financial Control
    16:03 – Turning Financial Data Into Better Business Decisions

  • 3: Work Less, Keep More Profit and Escape the Hiring Trap

    3: Work Less, Keep More Profit and Escape the Hiring Trap
    2026/07/13

    You've hired to get your time back and somehow ended up with less of it, more payroll pressure, and a team that still needs you for everything. This episode is for the founder who's stuck in the weeds and wondering if the next hire will actually fix it or just make things worse.

    I'm a CPA and business coach, and I fell into the hiring trap at my own firm before I figured out the sequence to get out of it. I'm walking through why hiring first almost always deepens founder burnout, what you have to sort out before you post another job description, and how I now run my practice with fewer people, more profit, and half the hours.

    00:00 - The Hiring Trap and Why More People Rarely Means More Freedom

    03:58 - What I Changed in My Own CPA Firm

    05:00 - Role Clarity: What You Want to Be Doing Every Day

    07:31 - Offer Profitability and Aligning What You Sell With What You Love

    12:29 - The Five-Favorites Exercise and Running a Tiny Experiment

    14:47 - Why Saying No to Clients Is a Kindness, Not a Retreat

  • 2: Small Business Profitability and Why Revenue Is a Vanity Metric

    2: Small Business Profitability and Why Revenue Is a Vanity Metric
    2026/07/13

    You're tracking revenue, working harder than ever, and watching the profit not show up. This episode is for the founder who's starting to wonder if chasing that top-line number is what's keeping them stuck.

    I’m a CPA with nearly 30 years of experience, and my take on revenue is direct: it's a vanity metric. Small business profitability determines whether your business is working, and most founders aren't measuring it with enough precision to make good decisions about what to sell, what to cut, or what to say no to.

    00:00 - Revenue as a Vanity Metric and Why the Market Gets It Wrong

    06:35 - What Jennifer Changed in Her Own CPA Firm

    08:48 - How to Identify Your Most Profitable Offer

    13:53 - Gross Margin, Job Costing, and Getting Your Books to Tell You Something

    17:00 - Why Saying No to Clients Is a Cash Flow Strategy
