Jason Hughey and the team @Satoshi Pacioli Accounting are on a mission to show what's possible when you lead with principles and virtue, not value-espousing posters on a wall. We can build businesses on merit and trust. S03E02 is out now. https://fountain.fm/episode/zvmY5AzkCF8nEIHbKoFz
NEW EPISODE Enron had “integrity” on the wall. FTX didn't bother. Both collapsed. Jason Hughey on why organizational betrayal isn't random—it's designed in. The same signal suppression that starved Soviet grocery stores is happening in your company's Slack channels. His fix: Principle Based Management. Hire for virtue over talent. Let decisions flow to people with local knowledge. Stop treating employees like resources. S03E02: Companies Don't Keep Promises. People Do. Out now for supporters, public tomorrow. https://fountain.fm/episode/zvmY5AzkCF8nEIHbKoFz
“Love all, trust a few, Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy Rather in power than use; and keep thy friend Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence, But never tax'd for speech.” ― William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well

NEW ESSAY “Support the show” is charity language. “Make me uncancellable” is a product. That's what voluntary payment actually offers. Not mass adoption—fifty years of data killed that dream. An exit when Patreon bans you, PayPal freezes your account, or your bank decides your business doesn't align with their values. The 5% who pay aren't your revenue. They're your lifeboat. Adapted from S02E14: Why Ads Keep Winning.
Season 3 is coming. Tighter focus. Greater clarity. This is our Why.
