The Number

Have you ever been fearful of public speaking? Of taking the stage in front of an audience?

My guest, Corey Poirer is now known as That Speaker Guy – but he had a huge fear of both of those things. We talk about how his fear of having regrets, of looking back and wishing he had done something was great than those fears.

And that set the stage for some pretty interesting and philosophical topics like: 

Who do you have to become to achieve your milestonesWhat if the journey is the destinationThe power of passion and purpose. 

It is such a great discussion, I know your thinking will be sparked!

What is The Number?

The Number is a business podcast about the numbers that actually run your business.

Each episode focuses on one number. Revenue, profit, cash flow, capacity, time, valuation, customer cost, risk, or exit readiness.

Hosted by Wendy Brookhouse, and often joined by Kelsey MacAulay, the show breaks down what that number means, why it matters, and how it should influence the decisions you make as an owner.

Some episodes feature guests. Some are honest conversations. Some are solo deep dives.

If you own a business and want better clarity, better decisions, and better outcomes, it starts with knowing your numbers.
