Podcasting on MyVenturePad

April 30, 2008

I’ve done a lot of radio spots and interviews over the years, but last week I recorded my first official podcast.

Actually, I didn’t have to do anything but talk; Robin Fray Carey, founder and chief operating officer of Social Media Today, interviewed me for the business site MyVenturePad.

It was great fun. I got to yammer on about taxes. I enjoyed it, and the hubby was glad that for a while he got a break as someone else listened to me!

You can read Robin’s very kind introduction of me here, or you can cut right to the audio portion and listen to the podcast here.

While you’re at MyVenturePad (MVP) listening to my mellifluous voice, take some time to peruse all the other offerings. The site is full of regular contributors (including moi) who offer lots of insight on how you can make your small business a success.

I particularly want to note MVP’s upcoming webinar on business software, "Growing Pains: Is Your Business Software Dragging You Down?" A panel of experts will be on hand and participants can submit their questions for some wise answers on Monday, May 5, starting at 1 p.m. Eastern time.

Here’s the webinar’s synopsis blurb:

Many growing companies experience the frustration of not having enough flexibility in their accounting systems, or not being able to use their systems effectively when they increase revenue from more varied sources and clients, or when they need to integrate with other business applications. This free webinar will discuss recent findings from a special MVP/Techdirt study, as well as take your questions and comments.

Panelists will include Barbara Weltman, author and publisher of "Big Ideas for Small Business;" Manju Bansal, director of Solution Marketing, SAP Labs; and Grier Graham, vice president or Sales and Business Development for Techdirt. My podcast interviewer Robin Fray Carey will moderate.

It’s free, so if you have time Monday and are looking for some accounting software advice, tune in. You can register in advance here.

TAX-SAVVY WAYS 
TO WRAP UP 2026

It’s over! With October’s extended filing deadline behind us, it is now time to focus on year-end moves to reduce your 2026 tax bill. 

You’ll find ways to do just that on the Tax Tips page (see the More Tax Posts drop-down menu at the top of the blog), as well as the separate tax tip pages for each month, notably October through December. If you’re on the Tax Tips page, you’ll find a monthly list at the end of this column. If you’re on another blog page, you can head straight to the October tips; at the bottom of that tips page you’ll find links to all the other 11 months’ collections of tax advice.

Not to spoil what you’ll find in that tax advice, but it does cover such things as tax deductions for charitable donations, investment moves that could reduce tax due, and ways to max out your tax-favored retirement savings. 

Finally, as the year winds down, things get hectic. There are lots of other things to occupy our time, like the much more fun upcoming holidays. But don’t lose sight of taxes, since timing is key. To be of use, most tax moves must be made by the end of the tax year. That’s Thursday, Dec. 31, which also is the last business day of the year. 

So that you don’t miss that final tax year deadline, also keep an eye on the countdown clock below. It will keep you on top of just how much time is left to make important, tax-saving moves. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
