Dawn Brolin, CPA, CFE, CEO of Powerful Accounting and author of The Designated Motivator and The Designated Motivator for Accounting Professionals (available October 2021) announced today the launch of her new podcast, The DM Disruption. The podcast features practical advice and insights from Brolin and a wide range of guests from across the accounting profession who are focused on sharing motivation and strategies to help practitioners achieve greater levels of professional and personal success.
“The purpose of The DM Disruption podcast is to offer my fellow accounting professionals and colleagues from different areas of our profession with a forum for sharing our successes and challenges as well as the motivation to fuel greater levels of success,” explained Brolin, who brings more than two decades of experience as a bookkeeper, CPA, and CEO of Powerful Accounting, Ltd., to her recording studio each week.
On The DM Disruption podcast, Brolin interviews her peers as well as changemakers and thought leaders in the accounting profession. “I welcome anyone with an interest in making our profession as a whole stronger and more successful to be my guest on the podcast—whether they are struggling and need a problem solved or can share ideas to help us all get better at what we do.”

“Our profession has been hit hard by COVID and all of the changing regulatory demands, IRS issues, and the stress of working with clients who are also feeling the impact of the pandemic and running their businesses,” said Brolin. “It’s taking its toll in the form of burnout, increased mental health challenges, and practice management issues as well as the overall feeling of many professionals that things are not going to get better in the foreseeable future. I feel compelled by my own calling to leave people better than I found them to be The Designated Motivator for my accounting peers and to draw on my own ups and downs to let them know that there is a path forward and that there is always action you can take to right your ship and sail on to better days.”
Brolin defines herself as a Designated Motivator, or DM, for short—an individual who has the passion and ability to give others the greatest gift of all: the realization and mobilization of their true potential. She knows there are millions of other people who share these qualities and she has been working to inspire them into action by creating a global Motivation Movement. She details her DM framework in her book, The Designated Motivator, and will offer even more specific advice, tools and tactics for CPAs, tax professionals, bookkeepers, and others in the accounting profession in her forthcoming book, The Designated Motivator for Accounting Professionals which will be published in October 2021.
