Bob's Barbecue

This post was written by VeraSage Practicing Fellow [1] John Shaver, owner of Aries Technology in Knoxville, TN.

This past January at the VeraSage international conference in Napa, CA, Ron Baker made a statement that truly intrigued me.

He mentioned if you want to discredit something (in this case the billable hour), you should ridicule it.

Great idea, I thought. Now, how can I use it in our business?

Then it came to me, why not collaborate with VeraSage Fellow, CPA and professional stand-up comedian, Greg Kyte [2]?

The result is Bob's Barbecue [3].

Greg and I intend to make a series of videos focusing on all of the problems created by the billable hour in a business management software implementation.

Greg's team did a fantastic job and created an incredibly professional and hilarious video that truly hits the mark.

Ready for a pulled pork sandwich?  And you just might be lucky enough to be able to afford some hush puppies!
