What it is
Employer Advisory Board is a place to listen in on the conversations employer advisors actually have.
I host. Guests carry the substance. Finance, HR, ops, and other seats sit around one employer decision, and you get to hear how they think it through.
A useful interview helps an owner understand a decision more clearly. That is the editorial purpose. Insight from the room, not a product tour.
More on what advisors talk about.
Who it’s for
Employers who are investing in people and growth, and want clearer signal before they move.
Advisors who want a seat: fractional CFOs, CPAs, ops, payroll, workers’ comp, recruiters, HR, peers, and others who help employers make real decisions.
If that is you, here’s how to listen in. Guests: apply or read Appear on Employer Advisory Board.
How it works
Every week I send a Listen-in letter. Short. Read-aloud friendly. Built so you can follow the decision without sitting through the whole recording.
When the pipeline allows, I publish one or two interviews a week. Most run about 25–35 minutes. Guests work a real employer question; I keep the room moving.
Subscribe first. Watch or listen when video exists. That is the loop.
