## Resource

In this episode of the ICONIK CEO Podcast, we’re talking about something many entrepreneurs quietly struggle with: You’re booking clients. You’re generating revenue. But you still feel a little uncertain, reactive, and unsure about your money. If you’ve ever thought: “I make money, but I don’t feel in control.” “Where is all my money actually going?” “Why does scaling feel more stressful instead of easier?” “When will I finally feel profitable?” This conversation is for you. I’m joined by CPA and Certified Profit First Professional Susanne Mariga , founder of Profit First for Minority Business Enterprises. This is not a conversation about spreadsheets. This is about leadership. It’s about ownership. It’s about designing profit intentionally not hoping it’s there at the end.
