E54 - Life and Taxes: Advice from an Excited Accounting Professor (Scott Dyreng)

The Fuqua Show Season 1 Episode 55

Happy (?) Tax Day! To celebrate, we're bringing you a special episode with our professor and resident tax guru Scott Dyreng - featuring advice on taxes, life, and everything in between.

Scott Dyreng grew up on a turkey farm in rural Utah and made his way to writing op-eds for the Wall Street Journal. A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Scott has seen the world (Chile, UK), started a family (with six children), built a blueberry farm, and taken several detours before ending up at Duke. In this episode, he shares his journey, with insights on faith, finding your values, and forging a home wherever you are. Scott also shares hilarious tax stories (seriously) and concrete tax tips for students - so make sure to listen until the end!
