#12Any chance for a transcript?
Sorry, I'd have to hire a virtual assistant in order to provide a transcript. I'd like to keep the content free, so I won't be providing transcripts unless someone is willing to volunteer their time or cover that cost. Thanks!

#13Frankly, I found the snottiness in the podcast really obnoxious. If you could tone down the unnecessary insults to your listeners/most everyone who is not you, and drop most of the swearing, there was some good advice in here. (I particularly like the general advice that many situations don't require incorporation at all.) I'd also be careful suggesting that people create S-Corps and book most of their personal incom…
I honestly didn't mean to sound snotty or obnoxious, I just strongly disagree with people suggesting to others to pay exorbitant fees for incorporations when the information is freely provided.
But, I will definitely take your advice into consideration and try my best to adjust the pdocast to fit the audience.

#14Phenomenally useful. Contrary to one of the other posters here, I didn't find the tone obnoxious. I found it made for a more interesting podcast because the guy is obviously opinionated, but for a reason - he's knowledgable. Keep it up, I say. You might even want to have a bit of fun branding the podcast - angrytaxaccountant.com could turn into something big!
Thanks fookyong, haha I don't think that I've met an accountant that has been bitter and angry yet lol.
I'm definitely going to keep podcasting new content on a weekly basis as long as my schedule permits and I'm able to find content that's pertinent everyone here.
Hopefully, I can be of help to someone. Thanks, again!

#15Great info. What's you take on branding trademarks, such as my company name? Is this something I can do myself, or is a lawyer required? Is it even worth the time to trademark my company name? Thanks.
You know, I honestly didn't even consider trademarks as a question for some reason. But, I think that's an awesome point that I can't believe I overlooked, so thanks for pointing out a huge oversight on my part. I think trademarks have their place, but it's something that's really only useful when you're a larger competitor in your industry. Ex: The crocodile or american alligator is a keystone species that allows an…
The term tweet has become a dictionary term at this point
Technically, the word 'tweet' has been in dictionaries since long before Twitter came along...

#16Awesome podcast. I actually liked your delivery style although I'm probably in the minority. Reminds me of the "You suck at photoshop" tutorials on youtube.
Re: Offer HN: Help on Incorporation
#17I found that the constant stream of "hell", "freaking", "dumbass", "crap" distracted from the content. I appreciate the sentiment behind them, but I'd hope you can find a way to make your points without such language.
(Side note: A lawyer once told me that he would "never use language on a website which he wouldn't use in court" -- I think this is probably a good guideline to follow.)

I hope the suggestion proves helpful. And nice to hear that you're looking out for people!
How are you picking this knowledge up yourself? Also, I may have missed this in the podcast but: when and why did you decide that incorporation was right for your business?

Well the technical knowledge comes from my years of experience as a professional tax accountant.
The decision making behind the business came from the fact that I wasn't willing to spend more than my business would generate. So, I was always re-evaluating expenses to make sure that they were directly contributing to the bottom line.
Incorporation is not a factor thats vital until you're generating significant revenues because it's always going to increase your costs.
As a personal note, I invested $500 dollars into a business initially and waited until I was making over $30,000 in net profits until I even considered incorporating because my profits would increase by incorporating with the proper tax planning.

#20What is the offer mentioned in the item title. 'Offer HN'.
Sorry to be negative but I'm not sure a podcast counts as an offer.
