Are your firm’s values shaping outcomes, or just hanging on the wall?

In this episode of Codified Wisdom, Eric sat down with Patricia Asp, a seasoned transformation leader who’s helped shape some of the most respected organizations in the world. Her approach isn’t about buzzwords or culture posters. It’s about embedding values into systems so they drive performance, even through leadership changes, M&A, and rapid growth.

Pat shares:

- How to protect what makes your firm great as you scale

- Why codifying lessons learned (yes, like AI) helps teams skip avoidable mistakes

- What most leaders get wrong about culture—and how to fix it

Whether you're leading a growing client advisory services practice or rethinking how your team delivers consistent value across clients, Pat’s perspective is a masterclass in sustainable leadership.

What do billion-dollar firms and camera shops have in common?

Turns out, more than you'd think.

In this episode of Codified Wisdom, Eric Eager sat down with Michael Breit, Chairman & CEO of Eisner Advisory, to unpack the real story behind one of accounting’s most ambitious growth journeys.

From humble beginnings in Queens to leading a billion-dollar firm, Michael shares tactical lessons that every CPA, managing partner, and future firm leader should hear:

• Why never burning bridges opens the door to your biggest opportunities
• How accounting’s “cool factor” is real (Private equity, anyone?)
• What young professionals really need to know about career growth (Tip: it's not just about technical skills)
• The power of authentic leadership, and what he learned at a camera shop that shaped it all

If you're thinking about the future of the profession, this conversation is required listening.
