Matt Tait on Remote Teams, Entrepreneur Life & Ditching Outdated Business Rules

This week on the Round Two Podcast, I sat down with Matt Tait, a recovering attorney turned entrepreneur extraordinaire, who has turned the often-dull world of accounting into a thriving business revolution. From wearing hoodies and hats to business meetings to scaling a fully remote company across 27 states and five countries, Matt shares his journey with humor, heart, and honesty.

We explored what it takes to build a team culture where collaboration and self-expression thrive, why empowering employees is essential for growth, and how failures are often the best teachers. Matt also dropped some truth bombs about why you can’t do it all alone and shared his top three tips for filling your cup so you can pour into others without burning out.

Oh, and we had a laugh about outdated office attire norms—sweatpants for the win! Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or just dipping your toes into the business world, this episode is packed with wisdom, inspiration, and a few laughs.

Tune in and hear why Matt’s mantra "making it easier to run a business" is something we all can get behind.
