I met Allan at a conference a couple of years ago, and after meeting him, I recall skipping most of the sessions just to pick his brain about all things business — marketing, structure, etc. He's still one of the nicest folks I've ever met.<p>Months later, was connected with him again on Skype, and he remembered just about everything about our interaction, and once again, was super nice and helpful with all of my questions.<p>I also met Steven quite briefly at the same conference this year. Although we didn't talk for hours on end, he was also very kind, and very approachable.<p>Anyway, really happy for both of them. It's great to read that nice guys don't always have to finish last.
News Summary:<p>They used FE International to sell the LessAccounting assets to American SMB Services. Took about 6 months to close the deal all together. They declined to disclose any $ numbers, but it was an all cash up front deal.<p>The interview is actually a really interesting interview to read.
We use Xero.com. Its considerably "less shitty" than QB was for us. But I still struggle to wrap my head around basic accounting concepts and therefore require a bookkeeper.
As a long time QuickBooks online user it should be noted that about 2 years ago QuickBooks did one of the best online reboots I've ever seen. The new website is way simpler to use and understand.
Man, this is great. When I lived in Florida, I had a chance to hang out and cowork with Steve a time or two (this was perhaps 7 years ago?). Incredibly nice, very talented. I'm super happy for them!
Interesting, I suspect this is why the interview posting went up last week but was presumably very quickly removed (before I looked at podcast episode listings and attempted to download it).
Can we change the URL to the actual mixergy link:
