Hey, small business owners.

0:04.3

Let's talk about how Found can help you wrangle your finances once and for all. When was the last time you felt like you had your business finances totally under control? Every expense categorized, every receipt tracked, every invoice sent, and oh, were you prepared for tax season? If the answer is never, you're not alone. And that's what Found is for. Found is reimagining what business banking should be by putting your bookkeeping, invoicing, and tax tools directly into your business checking account. They've automated things like tracking expenses, finding rideoffs, and budgeting for tax time. You can even send invoices for free and pay your contractors, everything all from one app. Found makes it easy to regain control of your business finances so you can get back to doing what you love, which is definitely not tracking invoices. Think about the stress of juggling multiple apps, chasing receipts, or dreading tax season. Now imagine what it's like to have everything, banking, bookkeeping, invoices, and taxes, handled all in one place. Found automatically tracks expenses, which means you no longer have to carve out time every week, time you could be spending on something more important, to go through purchases and make sure everything's accounted for. And if tax season stresses you out as much as it stresses me out, you'll be thrilled to know that Found estimates your taxes and helps you set money aside. If I could go back when we were starting high fanboy, Found would have been an absolute lifesaver. Take back control of your business today. open a found account for free at found.com. That's fowundd.com. Found is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services are provided by lead bank, member FDIC. Join the hundreds of thousands who've already streamlined their finances with Found. This episode of I Fanboy is brought to you by Hewle.

This wasn't a super great year. There were great movies we saw. We're going to talk about it. But on the whole, I think it was down here for movies. Careful, because some people out in the media discourse have gotten in trouble for these, you know, complete, you know, Paul Thomas Anderson snapped back at somebody who said it was a bad year for movies. I think we're safe.

2:57.7

I think we can weather that storm. I was thinking about it too, Connor, and it was a weird year.

3:03.0

Yeah, it was a weird year. The best thing that could happen with us is if Paul Thomas Anderson got angry at us. That would be great. Oh, if Paul Thomas Anderson, if you're listening out there, fuck you.
