If we were asked to boil down our discussion with CFO Gary Golden to a single word, our answer would be: “judgment.” It perhaps goes without saying that having good judgment is a prerequisite for every finance leader, and the quality frequently tops the list of reasons that CEOs give when asked to describe what sets apart one CFO candidate from another. Still, the word comes to mind not because Golden uses it—which he does multiple times—but because he routinely draws our attention to the “decision-making” central to every CFO position and the experiences that have helped to shape the judgment that he uses to make sound business decisions. Golden’s professional life began as a lawyer in a Dallas law firm, where his goal was to become a top mergers and acquisitions attorney, but along the way he jumped to American Airlines.  “One of the reasons I left private practice for American is that they had a reputation for moving lawyers onto the business side of things,” explains Golden, who says that attorneys frequently found finance to be a convenient door-of-entry at American. “Interestingly, at American, my mentors were not really attorneys, but I found mentors inside the finance organization,” remarks Golden, who says that his legal experience has served him well as he has taken on a number of different CFO roles. “When you start training as a lawyer, you have a very detailed ‘what can go wrong?’ orientation that I have found to be very helpful to me as a CFO because you’re always thinking about what can blow up and you want to have this orientation that forces you to anticipate next steps,” comments Golden. “Many times, you find yourself making judgments on things, and you decide not to do things even though you would really very much like to,” remarks Golden, who frequently uses the word “judgment” interchangeably or alongside “deciding” or “decision-making”—as in the sentence “As a CFO, your decision-making judgment is critical.” –Jack Sweeney  Leave rating &amp; review   Signup for our Newsletter  GET MORE: Order now The CFO Yearbook, 2021

In his own words:Since searching Google for 'kayaking events' in 2011, I've been kayaking for swimmers first associated with IROC and now Kingdom Swims. So far, I’ve supported swimmers for nine, 10 or 15 mile Kingdom swimmers, seven Search for Memphre, multiple Swim the Kingdom, as well as Manhattan and Finger Lakes swimmers. In my other life, I've been a musician, college chaplain, and a counselor and special educator working with students with behavioral and/or academic challenges, as well as a spouse and a father, but now retired and studying Chinese.  Questions, comments, feedback, or if you'd like to be a guest on Marathon Swim Stories, email me! mailto:shannon@intrepidwater.comStay in touch by joining our email list at http://intrepidwater.comJoin a supportive group of limit pushers at The Marathon Swimming CollectiveMusic credit:Epic Inspiration  by Rafael KruxLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/5447-epic-inspiration-License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Swimming sounds courtesy of swimmer Todd Lantry.Support the show

Not1Bean is a coffee company that only supply coffee which has been roasted and packaged within the communities that grew them to ensure that coffee farming communities are well equipped to mitigate the ever increasing danger climate change poses to their way of life. This revenue is often the difference between sustainability and abject poverty - and who could object to fewer cargo ships due to the weight difference of roasted coffee being lighter? In this episode, Michael sits down with Gary and Mike, from Not1Bean to discuss the power of direct coffee trade with the farmers, slavery, climate change and the impact on coffee supply in the future, sustainability in coffee and much about how the coffee industry works.#Not1Bean #MichaelCoates #GaryGolden #MichaelTingsager #Coffee #Community #Hospitality #EmployeeExperience #Farming #Communities #CoffeeTrade #CoffeeBeans #ClimateChange #Slavery #Sustainability #Poverty #CoffeeSupply #Future #PutPeopleFirst #CoffeeIndustry #HospitalityMavericks #Business #Podcast #Maverick #DareToBeDifferentThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacyChartable - https://chartable.com/privacy
