What can you give? Why it's important to change your process and think of others first 13:42

1d ago13:42

13:42

What can you give? Often, when we approach things like collaborations and agreements, our first thought it about what we want and what we can take from a situation to help us achieve our goal... but can you imagine if we thought about what we could give instead? How would that change the game for you? This week, I've been working on some collaborat…

15:45

Everyone does Black Friday, right? Well no, no they don't, and this podcast shares why you shouldn't if it doesn't work for you.

Lucy Gray, aka Doodling Lucy, was told that you couldn't make a business from art. This was by a teacher... what a shortsighted statement that was....

21:34

Let me take you back to when you started this journey. You may have had a big goal and you then chipped away at it to get there. But what happened then?

1M ago48:33

48:33

A little while ago, I stumbled across Hunter & Gather, a brand that taps into ancestral knowledge of nutrition and health, combines this with a modern lifestyle, and then creates products that are unapologetically not the cheapest available... but the strong educational aspect of the brand explains why. I loved so much about the brand, so I reached…

Illuminating the Unseen: Inspiration is all around 16:18

3M ago16:18

16:18

Inspiration and inspirational people are all around us... but we don't always see them, do we? Perhaps we are too bogged down in the day to day to notice? Or maybe some of us just can't see it when it's standing in front of us? On a recent trip to Edinburgh, I met an amazing chap called Charlie. Dressed in a cloak, he gave a group tour with a Harry…

A problem for every solution 22:05

Sustainability sells with Lulu O'Connor aka The Clothes Doctor 48:09

4M ago48:09

48:09

Fast fashion is a regular feature on many a newsfeed for all the wrong reasons. These cheap and often poor quality garments aren't designed to be with their purchaser for long, and are set to be worn a few times before finding their way to landfill. But there's another way.

An open ended title, but a very apt one- on episode 300, I'm asking for your opinion on the kind of podcasts you love the most.

Why are you the one? 7:05

5M ago7:05

7:05

Ah- deep question, right? But it's more business related, why are you the one for your customers, rather than why are you the best of a bad bunch? The current political campaigns at play teach many things- why it's impolite to shout over each other, why fact checking matters, and why repeating why the other person is bad isn't a good marketing stra…

7M ago18:06

18:06

It can feel really strange telling the world about the product or service that you offer, can't it? But the harsh truth is that if you don't promote what you do or sell, then no one will know it exists. Even at the moment, when it's no secret that times are hard, it's STILL important to tell people what you do. Why? Because if you don't tell them, …

When did you last go to a face-to-face event? Do you see the value in them anymore? What a difference a few years can make. Pre 2020, face-to-face was THE way to do events and network, but covid changed that and gave many people a very steep learning curve on all things Zoom/Teams and more. Over the last couple of years, in person events have start…

10M ago44:07

44:07

Have you ever questioned why you're insured? For lots of us, we see an amount go out of our bank account every month or year, and we don't see any return or get any enjoyment from that cost.
