Social media and business don't always mix the way people think, and this episode gets into exactly why. Albert opens with real examples of viral moments that became real business consequences, then explains why social media made the top of the IRS 2026 Dirty Dozen list and the $3 trillion opportunity waiting for Black entrepreneurs right now. Plus: how do you raise your rates without losing clients or getting dragged online?

In our premiere episode of The Real Bottom Line with AlbertTheCPA, Albert breaks down three real business headlines and the financial lesson hiding inside all of them. We're talking record-breaking revenue that still ended in layoffs, a cultural icon facing bankruptcy despite a $100M valuation, and a restaurant that holds a very special place in Albert and Lauren's story... whose local operator is now filing Chapter 11.

The real story is always in the numbers.

Plus: the team plays a round of Facts Only, and Albert answers the question a lot of small business owners seem to be asking lately, "Why is it so hard to find a good accountant?"

The answer is actually a lot simpler than you think.
