Greetings Accounting High!  Scotty’s in the principal’s office, and while he was in there he had an epic 3-hour conversation with Mr. Ron Baker.  This conversation was broken up into two episodes for your listening enjoyment.  During our first session, after putting on his Tweed jacket and formally accepting the role of Principal at Accounting High, Scott and Ron discuss the evolution of accounting, fitness goals, accounting communities, infinite games, storytelling, comedy, and the future of the profession.  And a delightful performance from our rapping custodian to break up the conversation, we go deeper into the mind of Principal Baker.  And as always, sit back, relax, and open your mind, because we’re in the principal's office with Ron Baker.
