In this episode recorded live at the RightNOW Conference in Nashville, innovation expert and bestselling author Josh Linkner joins us to talk about what it really means to innovate in the modern accounting firm. Josh shares how everyday creativity—not billion-dollar breakthroughs—is the key to progress, how to cultivate a culture of innovation by removing fear and encouraging small experiments, and how firms can work with AI rather than compete against it. We also dive into his “Find a Way” framework and why aiming to be a better version of yourself may be more powerful than any external comparison.

In this episode:

• Why innovation isn’t just for tech giants—it’s for bookkeepers too
• How to create a culture where small ideas lead to big impact
• A new take on AI: Be Kirk, let AI be Spock
• The “Find a Way” framework and why you should start before you’re ready
• Why comparing yourself to others is a trap—and what to aim for instead
• A must-listen for firm leaders ready to reimagine what’s possible
