What can a former Special Forces Green Beret teach us about mastering money, entrepreneurship, and building a next-level finance business?
In this episode of Diehard Entrepreneur Stories, I sit down with Mike Glaspie, former Green Beret-turned-CFO and founder of G2 Business Solutions, to dive into his inspiring journey from military life to real estate hustling and launching a thriving accounting firm.
Mike shares how growing up poor shaped his relentless focus on ROI, the mindset shifts that helped him transition from active duty to entrepreneur, and why clear communication and quality bookkeeping can make or break a business.
We explore his experience acquiring another accounting firm, the challenges of growing a team, and how AI is changing the finance world—plus, the vision that’s driving G2 to become the go-to real estate accounting firm in the US.
If you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or finance enthusiast, Mike’s story is packed with practical insights, resilience, and smart hustle.
I’m on a MISSION to help entrepreneurs build strong, successful businesses.
