The thinking behind the toolkit
“You’re More Than
Just a Potato.”
You’re not just a title, a list of duties, or another résumé in the pile. Michael Bud’s philosophy starts with the judgment, perspective, and value you bring—and helps you find the words to communicate it.
AI can help you think and draft. Your experience, your facts, and your judgment stay at the center.
Meet Brazen BrainsWho is this toolkit for?
CFOs, Controllers, Treasurers, VPs of Finance and other senior finance executives who want a more thoughtful, structured approach to their job search.
What exactly will I receive?
The customer package contains 8 PDF guides, 8 editable Word equivalents, one plain-text AI prompt library and a README. It includes 16 AI prompts and 10 accomplishment-story categories. These are digital resources, not printed books.
Do I need a paid AI subscription?
No specific assistant is required. The editable prompts are designed for your preferred AI assistant. Any AI service or subscription you choose is separate and is not included in the $29 price. You can also work through the guides and worksheets without AI.
Is this an official The FENG product?
No. This is an independent Brazen Brains publication, not an official The FENG product or endorsement. FENG-member outreach examples are for actual members only; general outreach examples are included for everyone else.
Will this guarantee interviews or a job?
No. This is an educational toolkit, not a placement service. It makes no promises of jobs, hires, interviews or ATS success. Your experience, decisions, effort and market conditions all matter.
How does delivery work?
Once the owner configures the Gumroad product and attaches the real buyer ZIP, purchase and automatic digital fulfillment will take place through Gumroad. Checkout is not currently open. No customer download is hosted publicly on this site.
Can I share or resell the toolkit?
No. The toolkit is for the purchaser’s personal use only. Redistribution, resale and sharing the customer files are not permitted.
What is the refund policy?
The refund policy is still an owner-review draft. Read the Refunds page for its current status. The owner must finalize the policy and align it with the Gumroad listing before sales open.
Your experience deserves a stronger story.
A practical next step for your finance executive job search.
