<p>Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg joins Mixed Signals on the one-year anniversary of the scoop known as "Signalgate" — when he was accidentally added to a top-secret Trump administration group chat.

The Smart Way to Prepare for a Stress-Free End of Financial Year
<p >In episode 107, Julianna explains why the end of the financial year often feels rushed and stressful, and says it usually comes from not knowing where the business stands because accounts are not fully up to date. With four months to go until June 2026, she recommends focusing on current and accurate bookkeeping, including closing each month quickly, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, reviewing the profit and loss, checking margins, following up receivables, reviewing subscriptions and costs, and confirming super and compliance timing. She notes that from 1 July 2026 payday super starts, meaning super must be paid each time wages are...

When the Numbers Finally Start Making Sense
<p >In episode 106, Julianna shares what she has noticed in conversations with creative and service-based business owners whose revenue looks steady but who still feel uncertain about their finances. She explains that the issue is often not fear or a crisis but a lack of clear, practical understanding of what the numbers show about profitability, cash flow and pricing sustainability. The episode outlines a simple progression: measure the few core numbers that tell the truth, make small adjustments where things are not working (such as outdated pricing, low-margin services and unnecessary costs), and then plan forward with intention using clearer...

The episode reframes business finances as a simple record of money in, money out, and what remains, emphasising that revenue signals demand, profit creates stability and cashflow is about timing. It describes common anxiety patterns - strong revenue followed by tight cash due to taxes, subscriptions, late payments and overlooked costs - and how reliance on bank balance and momentum reduces visibility. The host recommends a reset (regular reconciliation, accura...

Why Your Best Month Still Felt Tight
<p >Julianna explains why a strong revenue month can still feel financially tight and why higher revenue does not always mean more cash in the bank. She outlines the difference between revenue, cash and profit, and shares a common example where invoices are unpaid while large or irregular costs fall due, including BAS, software renewals, contractors and insurance, alongside money not being set aside for tax. She gives five main reasons for the squeeze: cash not received yet, irregular expenses, no tax set aside, expenses quietly increasing and relying on the bank balance as the main guide. She then shares...
The Price You're Afraid to Charge
<p >Julianna talks about the emotional side of pricing and why many small business owners undercharge because they fear losing clients.

She shares a story of a service-based business owner who raised prices after not increasing them for two years, lost one client, quickly replaced them and improved profit while working fewer hours. Julianna then outlines practical steps: calculate the real cost of delivering your service...
