The Above The Bar Podcast

🌟 Tonight on The Above The Bar Podcast 🌟

We’re going live tonight at 8 PM EST with Ed Welch, Tax Resolution Expert and founder of Tax Fighters Inc., based right here in the Capital Region.

Ed has spent over 30 years as a CPA helping individuals and small business owners navigate some of the most stressful financial situations imaginable. After working at Arthur Andersen, serving as a Fortune 500 executive, and operating multiple Liberty Tax franchises, Ed found his true calling helping people who felt overwhelmed, scared, and stuck with tax problems.

Tonight’s conversation goes beyond numbers. We’re talking about the real emotional weight of tax debt, what actually happens when the IRS comes calling, and how people can move from fear and uncertainty to relief and control.

💬 We’ll dive into questions like:
• What should you do when you get that first IRS letter?
• How bad can tax problems really get if ignored?
• When is it time to stop trying to handle it alone?
• What does real tax relief actually look like?

Ed is known for his calm, compassionate approach and his ability to explain complex tax situations in a way that actually makes sense. If you or someone you know has ever felt anxious about taxes, this is a conversation you do not want to miss.

We’re diving deep tonight with Alex Kuhn, the world-renowned leadership mentor and founder of Born to Lead®, whose clients have generated more than $30 million in revenue using his alignment-driven leadership frameworks.

Alex’s journey wasn’t shaped by perfection.
He walked away from a Division I coaching career, pushed through three failed ventures, and spent over $200k on misaligned business programs before discovering the truth:

👉 Entrepreneurs don’t lack knowledge. They lack alignment.
👉 And most business problems are actually leadership problems.

Which brings us to TONIGHT’S TOPIC:
❓ Why do most entrepreneurs fail to lead themselves first?

Alex will break down how his Born to Lead® and SuccessDNA™ frameworks help founders tap into their natural leadership gifts, build premium client systems, and scale businesses that grow with strategy and soul.

🔥 This week’s episode of The Above The Bar Podcast airs live at 8pm EST on Tuesday, Nov 26th — and we’re asking a question every entrepreneur eventually faces:
What’s the real cost of success… and are you paying too much for it?

Our guest is Justin Lund, a founder who has lived both the high highs and the devastating lows of entrepreneurship.

Justin has built and exited companies… but he’s also battled addiction recovery and lost tens of millions of dollars in a legal war most people wouldn’t survive. Those experiences reshaped how he thinks about success, freedom, and the emotional load leaders carry behind the scenes.

Today, Justin helps business owners break through what he calls “the capacity ceiling”—that invisible wall where hustle stops working, burnout takes over, and the life you built your business for starts slipping away.

He teaches entrepreneurs how to shift their mindset, build real systems, and delegate with confidence so they can finally step back without their entire world collapsing.

He’s genuine. He’s relatable. And his story hits home for anyone who has ever wondered whether the grind is costing too much.

🎙️ Catch the episode live at 8pm EST on Tuesday, Nov 26th
Join us, ask questions, be part of the conversation, and belly up to the bar.
