A financial murder mystery...
My crazy SPOOKY vision has finally come to life!
And it's terrifying :) π§ββοΈ
(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:
β
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.
β
π§ We played detective
π Hunted for root causes
π‘ And pulled out the hard lessons founders and modelers need to hear.
β
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 doesnβt blow out the audio -and Paul doesnβt have to edit them all again :) )
β
If youβve ever worked across multiple markets (or currencies), youβll want to hear this one!
