    You shouldn’t be uncomfortable with the word "sales"

    EP 394 - This week Andy meets Bernard Savage who leads professional services business development consultancy - size ten and half boots. We have a wide running chat about how AI means that now, more than ever, professional services firms need to embrace sales. Luckily it’s also going to free up their time to do it. I’m not sure he persuaded Andy that sales wasn’t a dirty word. But we definitely buy into his rallying call that if you just do the same things as everyone else, then, well you are not going to stand out and your business will die. Straight talking advice indeed. *For Apple Podcast chapters, access them from the menu in the bottom right corner of your player* Spotify Video Chapters: 00:00 BWB with Bernard Savage 01:19 Andy's Views on Bernard 04:02 Quickfrie - Get to Know Bernard 06:33 The Reality of Professional Services 12:45 Networking and Business Development 21:17 Client Relationships and Commerciality 25:15 Evolving Business Development Strategies 25:53 Impact of AI on Professional Services 26:24 The Dominance of London in Professional Services 27:41 The Importance of Client Relationships 30:28 The Role of LinkedIn in Professional Networking 33:06 Regional Differences in Professional Services 35:33 Northern England: Challenges and Opportunities 48:38 Balancing Authenticity and Professionalism 51:24 Wrap Up businesswithoutbullshit.me Watch and subscribe to us on YouTube Follow us: Instagram TikTok Linkedin Twitter Facebook If you'd like to be on the show, get in contact - mail@businesswithoutbullshit.me BWB is powered by Oury Clark

    Sarah Furness: Just Enough of a B*tch

    EP 392 - This week we meet Sarah Furness, whose self described superpower is being “just enough of a bitch”. If you want to know what she means by that, stop reading and start listening. Sarah was the first female helicopter pilot to lead special forces missions in Iraq. These days she is bringing battlefield hardened insights to business problems, helping leaders to create healthy behaviours and environments in threatening or stressful situations. It’s a wide ranging conversation, covering everything from gender roles and sexism to mindfulness under extreme pressure and something called disco leg. But our main focus was on psychological safety and why it is important in the military and business. As Sarah says, “The only way we can learn from a mistake is if we talk about it, and we can’t talk about it if you’re punished for it”. The bit about disco leg is right at the end, if you want to skip to that to find out what it means. *For Apple Podcast chapters, access them from the menu in the bottom right corner of your player* Spotify Video Chapters: 00:00 BWB with Sarah Furness 01:16 Andy's Intro 02:33 Quickfire: Get to Know Sarah 07:53 Sarah's Journey: From Military to Mindfulness 17:05 The Power of Mindfulness in High-Stress Situations 24:47 Learning from Failure: Military Insights for Business 31:14 Creating an Optimum Environment for Psychological Safety 32:02 Encouraging Bravery in Leadership 32:13 Vulnerability in Leadership 34:28 Navigating Shame and Self-Compassion 38:01 Self-Awareness and Inner Work in Leadership 43:48 Gender and Leadership: Moving Beyond Stereotypes 49:47 Customer-Centric Business Practices 52:20 Lessons from Military Leadership 01:01:16 The Importance of Humor and Camaraderie 01:02:25 Top Tips for Founders and Entrepreneurs 01:06:06 Wrap Up businesswithoutbullshit.me Watch and subscribe to us on YouTube Follow us: Instagram TikTok Linkedin Twitter Facebook If you'd like to be on the show, get in contact - mail@businesswithoutbullshit.me BWB is powered by Oury Clark

    You can’t build a great business without creating a great customer experience

    EP 391 - This week we are joined by Toby Burns, immersive events pioneer and the man behind Silent Disco. He has some quite spicy things to say about how the UK treats entrepreneurship and flags an innovation that he would love to see the UK copy from China. Yep, we should copy China. You’ll have to listen in to find out how and why. But you will also get some real nuggets of business wisdom (in handy catch phrases). Such as “innovate or evaporate”, “diversify or die”. Most importantly, if you want to create continued success you need to create a great customer experience at every touchpoint. Let us know what you think in the comments. *For Apple Podcast chapters, access them from the menu in the bottom right corner of your player* 00:00 BWB with Toby Burns 01:16 Andy's intro to Toby 01:58 The Silent Disco Business Model 03:57 Toby's Early Career and Family Business 07:02 Customer Service and Business Philosophy 14:16 Property Investments and Business Strategy 16:55 Innovations and Future Plans 30:16 The Turning Point: Scaling a Business 31:01 Innovating in the Entertainment Industry 32:52 Customer Service and Business Processes 39:14 The Impact of Taxes on Business 48:11 Navigating the COVID-19 Crisis 54:15 Advice for Young Entrepreneurs 01:03:12 Toby's Ultimate Party Line-Up businesswithoutbullshit.me Watch and subscribe to us on YouTube Follow us: Instagram TikTok Linkedin Twitter Facebook If you'd like to be on the show, get in contact - mail@businesswithoutbullshit.me BWB is powered by Oury Clark

    BWB Live at the Cannabis Farm

    EP 390 - Something a little different this week. We took BWB on the road to meet James Duckenfield, CEO of Glass Pharm and tour their state of the art facility for growing pharmaceutical grade cannabis. We learnt a lot of fascinating stuff - including that the only way that you are likely to die from cannabis, certainly medical cannabis, is if someone accidentally drops a ton of it on your head. Furthermore, this remarkable growing system is not just leading the way for growing medicinal cannabis, but its carbon negative approach and techniques are breaking new ground for horticulture in general. Listen in and learn. *For Apple Podcast chapters, access them from the menu in the bottom right corner of your player* Spotify Video Chapters: 00:00 BWB Live at Glass Pharms 00:47 Andy & Medical Cannabis 01:43 The UK Cannabis Conversation 02:57 Tour of Glass Pharms Facility 06:44 Cannabis Cultivation Techniques 13:24 Regulations and Licensing 18:59 Product Demonstration and Quality Control 24:39 BWB with James Duckenfield CEO 25:51 Medical Cannabis in the UK 27:12 Public Perception and NHS Policies 28:06 Cannabis and Chronic Pain 29:31 Cannabis and Mental Health 30:33 Global Cannabis Policies 31:16 Personal Experiences with Cannabis 32:28 Challenges in the Cannabis Industry 33:09 The Endocannabinoid System 35:24 Regulatory Hurdles 42:01 Future of Medical Cannabis 49:33 Wrap Up businesswithoutbullshit.me Watch and subscribe to us on YouTube Follow us: Instagram TikTok Linkedin Twitter Facebook If you'd like to be on the show, get in contact - mail@businesswithoutbullshit.me BWB is powered by Oury Clark
