A financial murder mystery...

My crazy SPOOKY vision has finally come to life!

And it's terrifying :) πŸ§Ÿβ€β™€οΈ

(Also, buckle up for emojis in today's email - it's Friday and I can't help it. You have been warned.)

​

Okay, so here's the story:

A few months back, I came to FP&A Guy and expert podcaster Paul Barnhurst with a crazy idea:

​

What if we did a finance podcast episode

that was less like a panel discussion...

and more like a murder mystery?

​

After only a little begging, he let us run with it

And now it's out!

A Finance Horror Story: The Currency Conversion Catastrophe

An anonymous tale of Excel gone wrong...

...One innocent-looking column.

...One VERY expensive mistake.

...And a team of finance nerds trying to unravel it all.
​

🎧 We played detective

πŸ” Hunted for root causes

πŸ’‘ And pulled out the hard lessons founders and modelers need to hear.

​

This thing was SO much fun to film.

(In fact, my biggest note for next time is to fix my mic settings so the volume of my giggles and gasps doesn’t blow out the audio -and Paul doesn’t have to edit them all again :) )

​

If you’ve ever worked across multiple markets (or currencies), you’ll want to hear this one!
