Answers That Count with Charles Musgrove is about leadership and the experiences that shape us into who we become as leaders.
Charles sits down with business owners, entrepreneurs and other leaders for real conversations about their leadership journeys. These aren't simply stories about success. They're conversations about the difficult decisions, challenges, values, and lessons that helped shape the person behind the position.
Charles Musgrove brings more than four decades of business and leadership experience to these conversations. As a CPA, Fractional CFO, entrepreneur, business advisor, coach, speaker, and teacher, Charles has spent his career working alongside business owners and leadership teams. His experience includes building businesses of his own and helping companies navigate financial challenges, operational decisions, growth, accountability, and change. That experience has taught him something important:
Leadership isn't theory. Leadership shows up in your decisions, your actions, your values, and the results you produce.
