Dave Gardner manages a collective of Colorado Springs podcasts and is executive director of GrowthBusters, a nonprofit dedicated to public awareness and education about limits to growth.   The Next Us podcast is recorded in the Studio 809 Community Podcast Studio at The Next Us, a professional cooperative environment for small businesses in downtown Colorado Springs.https://the-next-us.captivate.fmfalseepisodicnopodcastIgnoring the IRS Is Costing You More Every Day—Here’s How to Take Control Now - Tax Answers AdvisorThe IRS Isn’t Waiting—Why Taking Action Today Matters More Than You ThinkMost business owners don’t lose sleep because they hate numbers. They lose sleep because they are terrified of what those numbers might reveal if the IRS ever comes knocking. Behind the unfiled returns, unopened IRS letters, and messy books is a constant, exhausting fear: “What if I’m in trouble and I don’t even know it yet?”​

In this episode of the Tax Answers Advisor, Enrolled Agent and Certified Tax Representation Consultant Marcelino Dodge sits down with CPA Laura Zarate of Athena CPAs to talk about a different way forward: building clean systems and proactive tax strategies so you can stop looking over your shoulder and finally look ahead. Together they show how “boring” consistent accounting, intentional decisions, and year‑round planning can turn chaos into clarity and fear into confidence.​

You’ll hear how reactive habits—ignoring IRS notices, mixing business and personal money, relying on shoebox receipts, waiting until April to think about taxes—quietly build penalties, interest, and anxiety, even when no one is sending you letters yet. You’ll also discover what a truly clean system looks like, why documentation matters so much in an audit, and how separating your business and personal finances protects not just your deductions but your entire entity.​

Marcelino and Laura walk through real‑life scenarios: missed S corporation elections, owners who never took reasonable payroll, people who bought expensive vehicles “for the write‑off” and ended up with a cash problem instead of a tax solution. They unpack how simple timing and structure decisions—like how you sell a business, when you take income, and how you compensate yourself—can save thousands when you plan ahead instead of cleaning up after the fact.​

Most importantly, this conversation speaks to the business owner who feels ashamed, behind, or afraid to reach out because “it’s already such a mess.” You’ll hear why it is absolutely possible to clean up the past and build better systems for the future at the same time, and how showing real change can make the IRS or state far more willing to work with you.​

The problem this show solves

This show exists for the business owner who:

  1. Has unfiled tax returns, IRS or state letters, or a tax bill they don’t understand.​
  2. Is trying to DIY their books and taxes while running a company, and feels constantly unsure if anything is actually right.​
  3. Has grown from “side hustle” money to real revenue but never adjusted their entity, payroll, or planning.​
  4. Lies awake wondering, “What if I get audited? What if I can’t fix this?”​

Through this podcast, Marcelino helps you:

  1. Move from fear, avoidance, and reaction into proactive planning, clear systems, and predictable tax outcomes.​
  2. Replace shame with informed action by explaining what went wrong, what can still be fixed, and what to do next.​
  3. Keep more of what you earn legally, while getting compliant and protecting your business and family.​

If today’s episode hits a nerve—if you see your own situation in these stories—it’s a signal, not a sentence. You don’t have to fight the IRS or face your books alone.​

We try to find out. Jan and Jill co-hosted the first Studio 809 podcast, CityTalk, which debuted in 2017, so we’re excited to have them back, as the first guests on The Next Us.

In this episode, we discuss Colorado Springs City Council – new faces, council pay, and scuttlebutt about changing the makeup of our utilities board. What’s next for City Auditorium, a proposed 36-story residential tower downtown, and neighbor opposition to some affordable housing projects.

Jill Gaebler served as City Councilor representing district 5 from 2013 to 2021. She is now executive director of the new Pikes Peak Housing Network. She also serves on the board of the Front Range Passenger Rail District.

Jan Martin served as at-large City Councilor 2007 to 2015, she was on the board of the Colorado Springs Pioneer’s Museum, and has been a trustee of the Garden of the Gods Foundation since 2015.
