My guest on today’s podcast is Steve Coughran. Steve is the founder or Coltivar and Boosting Your Financial IQ. Coltivar is a business consulting and CFO service company that helps business owners get strategic and financial support to grow, turnaround, or sell their businesses. Boosting Your Financial IQ is a course and community that empowers people worldwide with the knowledge and skills to enhance their financial IQ, thereby fostering a global community of financially free individuals, by teaching principles of finance and strategic thinking. What’s unique about Steve is his vulnerable authenticity in his leadership. He leads not from his accolades, but from his story which entails high highs as well as low lows, that he owns in this episode. Steve shares his story starting back in high school building a landscaping business, and how he built that business into an empire before having to close its doors because of his own lack of financial acumen at the time. Steve shares how that led him to going back to school, getting his masters in accounting, becoming a CPA, working at a big four company, while also consulting other businesses on how to build their financial engine and strategy for success. Steve then shares how he found himself making more consulting than working as a corporate accountant which led him to launch Coltivar. Steve also shares how he realized many entrepreneurs don’t understand finances which led him to do a convention to boost their financial literacy, and how that blew up into Boosting Your Financial IQ which is bigger than Steve ever imagined it would be. Steve is incredibly smart, driven, and articulate and that makes for an incredibly interesting conversation. And be sure to listen to the end when Steve shares his definition of success which is finding his purpose in life, and how for him that entails helping people build better lives through better business. So with that introduction, I hope you enjoy this episode of the Self-Employment Success Podcast with Steve Coughran.
