Hannah speaks openly about her darkest moments and how therapy, personal development, and faith gave her the perseverance to keep moving forward. “It is not the breaking of you, it is the making of you… If you can overcome having that level of power taken away from you, you can ping your way up to the top of empowerment.” – Hannah Power.

    From Amstrad to AI: Thomas Power's Journey at the Cutting Edge

    Business Networking From Amstrad to AI: Thomas Power's Journey at the Cutting Edge In this episode of the Business Growth Podcast, powered by ActionCOACH UK, we welcome Thomas Power – a tech pioneer, futurist, and master networker. Over nearly four decades, Thomas has worked with the likes of Alan Sugar, Michael Dell, and senior leaders at Microsoft, while building global communities that shaped the foundations of LinkedIn. Thomas has always lived “on the edge” of business and technology. As he says: “Always stay on the edge, always on the front line. Otherwise you miss it.” This conversation covers everything from AI to Bitcoin, from Twitter/X to LinkedIn, and why community may be the last thing humans truly have left. Key Highlights and Quotes from Thomas Power: On working with Alan Sugar at Amstrad in the 1980s: “I learned about gross margin. I learned about cash flow. I learned about preservation of cash and reserve cash… and I learned about the pain of customer service. Selling a hundred thousand computers a month with no call centre or CRM - it was brutal.” On Twitter/X being the front line of knowledge: “All the best minds in the world are on Twitter. You’ve got to be reading it one or two hours a day to stay on the edge. Otherwise you miss it.” “It’s the most advanced platform ever created - way ahead of Facebook.” On Elon Musk: “Whether you like him or not, he’s the highest-performing individual in business on the planet. He started with nothing and built it all between 21 and 51. And now he owns Twitter.” On networking with the greats: “Fly with the eagles and you’ll become one. From Alan Sugar I met Michael Dell. I worked with directors at Microsoft. These brilliant minds taught me lessons I’ve carried for life.” On Michael Dell (1987 meeting): “I spent four mind-blowing hours with him at Olympia when he was just 21. He wasn’t focused on Amstrad - he was going after IBM and Compaq. I told Alan Sugar, ‘He’s cleverer than you are.’ And time proved it.” On what’s next (his A-B-C): “AI, Bitcoin, and Community. One is about automation. One is about money. And one is about the last thing left for humans - community.” On Bitcoin: “You get the price of Bitcoin you deserve to pay. Some bought at $1, some at $200, some at $5,000. Today it’s $120,000. By the end of the decade it’ll be $1 million. By 2050, $50 million.” On community vs networking: “Networking is about hunting down information, contacts and deals. Community is about emotional support, identity, and belonging. One is a hunter, the other a farmer. My wife Penny is the farmer - I’m the hunter.” On his legacy: “When I’m dead, I want to be known simply as a networker. I love connecting people. That’s what I’ve always done.” On the risk of falling behind: “If you miss a nudge in tech, you’re dead. The tech minds rule the world now - not politicians, not CEOs. Less than 400 people globally are really shaping the future. And I study them every day.” This isn’t just a podcast episode - it’s a rare chance to hear the lived experience of someone who’s been at the front line of tech revolutions for nearly 40 years. From the early PC boom, to the rise of online communities, to today’s AI-driven future, Thomas Power has always asked one question: What’s next? 🔔 Subscribe to the Business Growth Podcast for weekly insights from world-class entrepreneurs, leaders, and thinkers. 👉 Want the tools and coaching to scale your business?

    The Secret to Building Business Communities That Truly Change Lives

    Can Building Business Communities Change Lives? In this inspiring episode of the Business Growth Podcast, powered by ActionCOACH UK, we sit down with Penny Power OBE, entrepreneur, author, and co-founder of Ecademy, the world’s first social network for business owners. Back in 1998, long before LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter, Penny and her husband Thomas created a global network of over 650,000 entrepreneurs. Their mission wasn’t profit; it was about connection, trust, and friendship in business. Penny shares how community can transform businesses, but also opens up about the struggles behind the headlines: financial stress, identity, and the mental health challenges that come with carrying responsibility for others. She reminds us that “people bring their childhood into the boardroom” and that business is always personal. In this episode, you’ll learn: - The three ingredients of powerful communities - It’s not about you, it’s about the members. - Help people feel significant. “The best gift you can give anyone is to help them feel significant.” - Build culture through love and vulnerability. “Culture eats strategy for breakfast. Get the culture right, and everything else follows.” - Why success without truth can be damaging. Penny says: “The gap between identity and truth is where so much pain lies.” - How contribution and reciprocity drive belonging. “Community doesn’t exist without people contributing, but contribution looks different for everyone.” - The role of love in leadership. “Love is not soft; it gives you courage.” - Why vulnerability is strength, not weakness. “If you want to build trust, you have to allow people to see your truth.” How to ask better questions to build connection: - What are you most proud of? - What’s something you’ve dared to overcome? - What experience has shaped who you are? Penny also reflects on family, resilience, and what legacy really means: “Allow everybody to be who they are and be connected to one another. That is my definition of family.” This is more than a story of building a business. It’s about rethinking how we lead, how we connect, and how we measure success. Grab a pen and paper. This conversation is packed with wisdom every business owner, leader, or entrepreneur can apply today. 🎧 Listen now to discover how to build communities that create impact, trust, and long-term business success. 👉 Subscribe and hit the notification bell for weekly insights from the world’s #1 business coaching team.

    Why Your Business Needs To Be Irresistible with Daniel Priestley

    Why Your Business Needs To Be Irresistible with Daniel Priestley | Business Growth Podcast In this episode of the Business Growth Podcast, host James Vincent sits down with bestselling author, entrepreneur, and thought leader Daniel Priestley at Sky Studios. Daniel has built, scaled, and sold companies across the world, and his books Key Person of Influence, Oversubscribed, and Entrepreneur Revolution have influenced thousands of entrepreneurs. This isn’t theory, it’s real-world experience. Daniel shares why many business owners work harder than ever yet earn less, and how rethinking productivity, branding, and team structures can change everything. “People don’t buy what you do. They buy the assessment that shows them the path of least resistance from where they are to where they want to be.” — Daniel Priestley What You’ll Discover in This Episode - Why fun is a biological signal of productivity and how teams can use it to unlock creativity. - How personal branding has become 20x more powerful than company branding in today’s market. - Why scorecard marketing is the next big thing (and how to use it in both sales and recruitment). - The difference between teams and talent—and why high-performance companies are built around a small group of extraordinary people. - How AI has already changed recruitment and business models—and why every business must adapt or risk being left behind. - The simple frameworks for scaling: the 2-person scout team, 4-person firestarter team, 8-person core team, and 30-person performance team. - Why finding unmet needs in your market can unlock explosive growth. - Why live events, from private dinners to webinars, still outperform pre-recorded content in building trust and authority. Highlights from the Conversation Daniel explains why the old “work harder” mantra doesn’t work anymore: “Productivity isn’t coming from labour. It’s coming from insights, technology, and connecting the dots. If you’re only working hard, you’re not even playing the right game.” On building a personal brand: “For 10 years I built other people’s brands. Then I realised the future belongs to those who step into the spotlight. You need to be a key person of influence in your industry if you want to attract real talent.” On AI disruption: “The business you had in 2025 is dead. You must reinvent around AI—speed to value is everything now.” On scorecard marketing: “Don’t sell the treatment plan. Sell the assessment first. Doctors don’t start with surgery—they start with the scan. Businesses should too.” On scaling with small teams: “An 8-person team today can do what used to take hundreds. With the right leverage and tech, small groups can create seven figures in profit.” On unmet needs: “Touch the raw nerve and you can have one year that pays for the whole decade. Most businesses exist, but the ones that explode are the ones solving a problem no one else has cracked.” 🎙 Powered by ActionCOACH Business Coaching The help you need to grow your business: 👉 https://business.actioncoach.co.uk 📺 Sponsored by AdSmart from Sky Grow your business through the power of TV advertising: 👉 https://www.adsmartfromsky.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
