In this episode of Process, host Arielle Thomas is joined by Sally Branson, a leading Crisis Management and Reputation Management Director.

In This Episode: How to treat your reputation as a tangible asset rather than an abstract concept. Navigating the "new rules" of influencer marketing to avoid liability and hidden risks. The secret to building unshakable consumer trust through radical transparency and product safety. Why due diligence is your brand's best insurance policy against future scandals.

    Backbone: How to take calculated risk to grow your business

    In episode four of Backbone, we delve into something every founder discusses, but few assess properly: risk. Growth requires risk. But not all risks are created equal. Some move your business forward. Others quietly drain your time and confidence. This week, we unpack how we think about risk in our own businesses, what we’re actively betting on, what we won’t compromise on, and how we decide what’s worth it. So this week, we cover: • The real risks we’re currently taking in business and why • Our non-negotiables before saying yes to a big decision • How to assess upside vs downside in a practical way • How to “price” the cost of failure (financially and emotionally) If you’ve been sitting on a decision and wondering whether to leap or not, this episode is for you. If you have any questions about risk, feel free to slide into our DMs. We want to keep this conversation going! Find us on the ⁠⁠⁠So Invested Instagram⁠⁠⁠ & Process Instagram, and if you haven’t already, hit follow in your podcast app (it really helps our small businesses grow). See you next week!

    Backbone: Cash is QUEEN! How to manage your cashflow

    In episode three of Backbone, we get into the numbers that actually keep your business alive: cash. Profit might look good on paper, but cash is what pays your bills, your team, and you. And yet, cash flow is one of the most misunderstood (and least confidently managed) parts of running a business. So this week, we cover: • Why profit ≠ cash, and how profitable businesses still run out of money • Why cash flow is the most important metric to understand as a founder • How to think about managing cash flow day-to-day (not just at tax time) • Practical measures to safeguard your cash flow as your business grows • A simple walk-through of the key line items in a cash flow statement — and what they actually tell you. If you have any questions, about cash slide into our DMs. We want to keep this conversation going! Find Process the Podcast on Instagram here. Find So Invested on Instagram here.

    Backbone: "Business Structures and Tax" - All the things they never taught you in school

    Welcome to episode two of Backbone! The four-part mini series where we discuss the financial side of building a business. Today, we get into the structures that sit underneath your business and the tax impacts of each! Whether you’re just starting out, running a side hustle, or transitioning into something more complex, the way your business is set up has real implications for tax, cash flow, and risk. And yet, this is one of the least openly discussed parts of being a founder. So, this week, we have the candid tax conversation that no one seems to be having. In this episode, we cover: • The common business structures available to new and growing business owners • How and when structures tend to change as your business becomes more complex • The tax realities founders often avoid (and why that’s risky) • Our perspective on when to bring in an accountant, bookkeeper, or advisor and what to look for. This episode is brought to you by Notion - and by far one of our favourite tools, Notion Agent. Notion Agent is fundamentally different from typical AI tools. Instead of just suggesting or chatting, it completes tasks end-to-end, turning days of manual work into minutes. It acts like a Notion super user that understands your workspace, your working style, and how you like things done - helping you stay organised, clear, and accountable as you build. Let Notion Agent do the heavy lifting for you at ⁠Notion.⁠
