In today’s episode, we have Katie Bolen-Irwin joining us. She’s a financial powerhouse by day and Nerf battle queen by night. Katie is the CEO of KBI Accounting and Consulting and the CFO of the Graduate School of Banking at UW–Madison. With her CPA and CNAP credentials, Katie brings both heart and strategy to the world of finance, helping mission-driven organizations stay financially strong without losing their soul or their sanity.

Katie opens up about the real behind-the-scenes of juggling life as a CEO, wife, and mom. We talk about all things real-life, asking for help, speaking up with confidence, and why the “worry voice” doesn’t get to lead anymore. She shares how she learned to own her voice in the room, what she tells herself when she doesn’t know the answer, and how her love for nonprofits fuels her purpose.

Whether you’re in the corporate world, nonprofit space, or just trying to juggle your own version of business and life, this conversation is packed with wisdom, warmth, and plenty of real-talk.
