What happens when you stop following the “rules” everyone says you’re supposed to live—and build something entirely your own way?
In this episode of the Tax Rep Network Podcast, Eric Green sits down with entrepreneur and author Sharrin Fuller to unpack her unconventional journey from teenage worker to salon owner… to self-taught accountant… to building and selling multiple firms.
They dive into the real story behind her book Unfollow the Rules—including the highs, the hard lessons, and the parts most people never talk about. From skipping the traditional college path to navigating private equity deals, Sharrin shares what it actually takes to build a business that works for you—and what can go wrong if you’re not prepared.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to scale—or exit—your firm, this episode is a must-listen. Raw, honest, and packed with hard-earned insight—this is one conversation you don’t want to miss.
