Mastery Fractional CFO's Punchy Podcast

Ryan Chenier, CEO and founder of Mastery Fractional CFO Services, hosts this interview show with a stated goal of keeping things "punchy," though episodes actually run 20 to 48 minutes, which is not exactly bite-sized. Still, the conversations have a breezy, accessible quality that makes them easy to get through. The show has 26 episodes since launching in 2024, and the format is simple: Chenier interviews business owners from various industries about how they built and run their companies. Recent guests include a luxury brand CEO, a fractional CISO, the founder of Sheets and Giggles (a DTC bedding company), and the team behind Payworks Payroll Services. What makes this podcast distinct is its small-business, Canadian perspective. Chenier is based in Canada and draws many of his guests from that ecosystem, which gives the show a different flavor than the Silicon Valley or Wall Street vantage point that dominates most finance podcasts. The conversations tend to center on practical business building rather than abstract financial strategy. The show has no ratings on Apple Podcasts, and episodes have slowed through 2025. The most recent episode is from October 2025. For fractional CFOs or finance professionals working with SMBs, there are useful nuggets scattered throughout the catalog, particularly around how different types of businesses think about their financial operations. It is a niche show for a niche audience, but Chenier's genuine curiosity about his guests' businesses keeps the conversations engaging.
