Welcome to Episode 35 of Magic Moments ✨ In this moment, I sat down with the brilliant Orrin - an absolute powerhouse when it comes to finance and business. He’s got a solid foundation in the corporate world (three years of CIMA under his belt and five years grinding in finance), and he’s since taken that knowledge and turned it into entrepreneurial gold. We discussed the stuff that most people shy away from - what to do when your business hits tough financial times. And it’s not about hiding or powering through silently. It’s about honesty and transparency. Orrin shared how being upfront and open with partners, investors, and teams can actually make or break your business when the pressure's on. We also dived into why every entrepreneur needs to get comfortable with the numbers. Finance isn’t just for the accountants anymore - it’s a core part of decision-making, and if you want to lead with confidence, you’ve got to understand what’s under the hood of your business. Orrin’s lived that transition from financial specialist to full-on business leader, and he drops some epic insight on how that shift works - and why CFOs are often stepping up as CEOs more and more. This conversation was a proper eye-opener, and if you’re navigating the chaos of entrepreneurship (especially with money stress in the mix), this one’s definitely for you.
