Nolan shares how most entrepreneurs are stuck in reactive financial cycles, relying on outsourced advisors and spreadsheets that don’t serve the life they actually want. He reveals why traditional accounting falls short, the hidden cost of misaligned decision-making, and how CEOs can use their numbers proactively to gain clarity, confidence, and control. If you’ve ever felt like your business is growing, but your peace of mind isn't — this episode will show you a better way.Chapters:00:00:00 - Are You Building a Business That Actually Makes You Happy?00:00:42 - Meet Nolan Bradbury: Numbers Guy with a Mission00:00:53 - The Real Conversation: Cash Flow, Purpose & Power00:01:21 - How Nolan’s Journey Reframed the Role of Accounting00:02:17 - What Entrepreneurs Really Want (and Miss)00:03:14 - The Two Founder Mindsets: Which Are You?00:04:41 - Redefining Freedom: From Revenue Chasing to Intentional Growth00:14:29 - Mapping the Gap Between Your Life Now and the One You Want00:18:32 - Designing Operations That Actually Serve Your Lifestyle00:21:11 - Nolan’s Wake-Up Call: Money ≠ Alignment00:23:08 - The “Numbers for Freedom” Framework in Action00:24:35 - Finding Your Real Freedom Number00:26:40 - Making Your Business Serve Your Life — Not Swallow It00:28:48 - Strategy That Starts With Who You Are00:30:07 - Every Choice Is Financial — Make It Count00:35:14 - Wrap-Up: The Clarity CEOs Crave00:38:47 - Final Thoughts + Where to Go NextLinks and Resources:Website: Bradfield Accounting & AdvisoryNolan Bradbury on LinkedInDustin on LinkedIn7 Figure LeapThanks so much for joining us this week.
