TikTok Won’t Save You: Scott Sullivan on Second Chances, Tax Traps, and the Truth About Business

Scott Sullivan didn’t follow the traditional path to becoming a CPA — he got kicked out of college, rode the mortgage boom, and rebuilt from the ground up. Along the way, he learned what every founder eventually discovers: money tells the truth, whether you want to hear it or not.

In this episode, Scott shares his unfiltered journey from failure to financial expertise — and the lessons business owners can’t afford to ignore. We talk about tax myths that go viral for all the wrong reasons, when an S-Corp actually makes sense, and why mixing business and personal spending can wreck your company faster than you think.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re getting the right answers about your business finances — or just the easy ones — this conversation is for you.
