Burt Copeland, founder and CEO of New Life CFO, joins Henry Harrison to discuss how his near-collapse during the 2008 financial crisis became the catalyst for building one of the leading fractional CFO and outsourced accounting firms. Serving companies from roughly $2M to $80M in revenue, New Life CFO combines strategic CFO guidance with clean, decision-ready books—because even the best CFO is useless without accurate data.New Life CFO: https://newlifecfo.com/Episode: https://henryharrison.com/burt-copela...The conversation is rich with real-world tools, client success stories, and the deeply personal faith journey that gave the company its name.Key TakeawaysWhat New Life CFO Does -Two-thirds of the business is fractional/outsourced CFO services -One-third is outsourced accounting, controller, and accounting-manager support -Focus: drive sustainable cash flow, EBITDA, and enterprise value -Core belief: “Even a great CFO can’t make good decisions on bad information.”Typical Clients -Accounting services: $1M–$25M revenue -CFO services: generally $5M–$80M revenue -Rule of thumb: “As soon as I start looking like overhead, fire me.”PhilosophyYour financial statements are nothing more than a historical reflection of your people, decisions, behaviors, processes, and systems. To permanently change the numbers, change one or more of those five drivers.Burt’s 2008 StoryGrew a construction subcontractor from $7M to a $30M run rate. In April 2008, revenue fell 86% overnight when banks froze all construction lending. Lost $6–7M of personal net worth in months. The crisis produced both a business and faith epiphany that led him to sell the company and start New Life CFO with a mission to keep other entrepreneurs from stepping into the same “bear trap.”Why “Operational CFOs”Every CFO on the team has P&L ownership experience (GM, COO, or prior business owner) and has professionally “stubbed their toe” somewhere along the way—creating empathy, humility, and practical insight that pure finance backgrounds often lack.During the darkest days of 2008, Burt prayed two questions: “What do You want me to learn?” → Answer: “You’re not using My gifts, and you left Me behind.” “Where do You want me to go?” → Answer: “Use My gifts and take Me with you.”The company exists to use God-given financial and operational gifts to serve entrepreneurs in a God-honoring way through “Care-Frontational” (caring but direct) partnership.

PLANO, TX: Entrepreneurs, Business & Finance — Episode: Glenn Poulos on Building (and Rebuilding) Winning Sales Organizationshttps://henryharrison.com/glenn-poulos/Guest: Glenn Poulos — founder, 3× company builder, LinkedIn Top Voice, author of Never Sit in the LobbyEpisode SnapshotWhat we cover: Selling without being “that salesperson,” buying a business under non-competes, the power-utility pivot, recovering from a zero-to-hero-to-zero moment, enterprise deal strategy, and practical ways Glenn uses AI daily to win more bids.Why listen: Glenn has built and sold companies across telecom and now power utilities. He’s candid about a painful, all-stock exit that went to zero—and exactly how he bounced back to $84M revenue before his next sale.Quick BioGlenn sold GAP Wireless (telecom distribution) to private equity in 2022, then acquired Prog USA (power-utility test & measurement distributor) in January 2024 to stay clear of non-competes—switching tech (telecom → power), customers (telcos → utilities), and country (Canada → U.S.) while running the same style of business. He’s an active LinkedIn Top Voice and the author of Never Sit in the Lobby.Key Takeaways“Nothing happens until something gets sold.” Sales is the starting point of the value chain—and it’s a craft worth defending.Customer-first systems win. Build repeatable ways to get, act, and stay in front of customers and be a “pleasure to do business with” even when you lose a deal.Map the money machine. Learn how your customer actually makes money (e.g., some “hardware” firms are really finance companies).Enterprise deals require altitude. Start at the highest relevant level; know exactly who signs at each $ tier.Resilience is a skill. Glenn once sold for stock, got locked up, and watched it all go to zero—then founded a new company within days and grew it to $84M before selling.AI as a force multiplier. Use AI to mine tenders, summarize 80-page contracts, craft (then humanize) outreach, and spot cash-flow patterns.Standout StoriesThe Dofasco Steel Mill “door-knock relay.” In 24 hours, Glenn and his president went from plant floor → Toshiba integrator → electrical distributor → VP approver and closed the largest order of his career, no emails, no quotes—just live, high-altitude selling.The painful exit that reset everything. After a stock-only sale to a public company, Glenn became an insider, couldn’t sell, and lost everything when the acquirer imploded. He turned that failure into the launchpad for GAP Wireless, later sold to PE.Favorite Lines“Start and finish at the highest possible level relative to the size of the deal.”“People want to buy—but not from a pain in the butt.”“I call it poverty avoidance—it keeps me moving.”Book: Never Sit in the Lobby — 57 sales tips to be “a pleasure to do business with.” https://www.amazon.com/Never-Sit-Lobb...Connect with GlennWebsite: https://glennpoulos.com/LinkedIn: / glennpoulos Connect with HenryWebsite: https://henryharrison.com/Podcast Hub: Entrepreneurs, Business & Finance (subscribe, rate & review!)

FROM PLANO TX: Construction payroll is brutal: dispersed crews, changing sites, language barriers, thin margins, and paper timecards that bleed profit. In this episode, Albert Bou Fadel explains how SmartBarrel combines rugged jobsite hardware with software to capture time at the source (worker check-in/out), automate approvals, and flow clean data straight to payroll/ERP—reducing risk and making labor cost visible in real time. Albert also shares the grind behind building hardware, raising capital, and why “it just has to work” is non-negotiable on a jobsite.https://smartbarrel.io/About the GuestAlbert Bou Fadel is a construction entrepreneur who previously built a glazing company before founding SmartBarrel, a field-first labor management and timekeeping platform purpose-built for construction.Key TakeawaysField-first beats office-first. SmartBarrel was designed around the hardest part—jobsite capture—so implementation spreads upward smoothly.Time equals survival. In construction, small daily productivity leaks compound into seven-figure losses over long projects.Hardware is hard. Prototyping, reliability, and iteration cycles are slower and costlier than software—plan accordingly.Implementation risk is better than the subscription price. Failed rollouts damage credibility and careers; buyers are de-risking, not penny-pinching.Fast start. Teams can be live in 2–3 days (simple setups) to a couple of weeks with integrations.Memorable Quotes“Price is only a problem in the absence of value. Buyers are de-risking, not haggling.”“In construction, we don’t have the luxury of failing twice—on the third try the device ends up in a lake.”“You pay for 40 hours but get 35—over 18 months that’s seven-figure leakage.”Resources MentionedSmartBarrel – Field-first labor management/timekeeping for construction (hardware + software + mobile).Integrations with common payroll/HR/ERP systems (e.g., Procore, Vista, CMiC, etc. referenced broadly).ConnectGuest: Search Albert Bou Fadel on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/albert-boufadel/Host: Subscribe to Entrepreneurs, Business, and Finance with Henry Harrison on your favorite podcast app. https://henryharrison.com/
