    How Redundancy Created the Perfect Opportunity | Alex Barter

    When a corporate innovation role was cut, this week's guest registered his own company the same week. He's the founder and managing director of B4T, an IoT technology business based in Southampton that builds low cost sensors to help organisations like water companies, ports and local councils make better investment decisions using real data. In this episode, we talk through the years of outreach and trial and error that led to B4T's breakthrough product, Jellyfish, a retrofit sensor for water meters that's since become the platform behind everything from emissions monitoring to river pollution tracking. He shares the three principles he still uses to make every decision in the business, why some ideas that flopped early on became core to his strategy years later, and what it actually feels like to build a team, a balance sheet and a business from nothing. What you'll learn: Why community outreach, not a polished business plan, shaped B4T's direction from day oneHow a redundancy turned into the confidence to start a business with no safety netThe three Cs used to guide every major decision: community, cash flow and customerWhy one rejected idea from years earlier became the company's core productWhat it takes to keep a team motivated and a business investable ten years in Search B4T and Jellyfish online to find out more.

    Why Chasing Freedom Beats Chasing Growth | Campbell Urquhart

    Andrew Miller sits down with the Managing Director of an HR consulting firm to talk about what it really takes to build a business around freedom rather than relentless growth. They dig into why being selective about the work you take on is a strength, not a weakness, and how choosing meaningful work over chasing scale changes the shape of a business and a life. The conversation also covers rebuilding after a major business failure and how that experience can completely reshape your perspective on work. It's a grounded look at flexibility, autonomy, and what success looks like when it's defined on your own terms rather than the market's. Key takeaways:Freedom and flexibility can matter more than growth at all costsBeing selective about the work you take on is a strengthDoing meaningful work you genuinely enjoy is worth building aroundRebuilding after failure can reshape how you see success Connect with Campbell here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/campbellurq/http://www.whitecubeconsulting.com If this episode resonated with you, subscribe for more conversations on building a business that gives you room to breathe, and get in touch if you'd like to talk about what freedom could look like in your own work.

    Born For Purpose - with Andrew Miller, Business Enjoyment.

    This is a very different episode, as I am my own guest. The Tingle Zone is going to have a bit of a break as I am currently refocussing my efforts on a very specific market, those who are Child-Free. The basic principle stand the same - in terms of finding your Purpose and what it is that makes your bits tingle - but as family is often cited as the reason for so many, there is a different nuance when it comes to those who - like me - don't have children. For my loyal listeners I therefore share with you the audio version of a chapter I contributed to the International Bestselling Book - Transforming Your Life - Vol III In it, I share my background, my journey and how I came to uncovering my Purpose. This is only for my subscribers - I won't be promoting the episode as most people have to pay to access the book or the recording - so it's a little Easter Egg as my gift to you for staying with me on this journey. Do keep an eye on my Linkedin Profile to see what events are coming up and I hope to be back with you soon. But for now, sit back, relax - think about what makes your bits tingle, and most of all, enjoy!

    We All Have the Same Story – with Michael de Groot, Storyteller

    In this episode, I'm talking with Michael de Groot who helps businesses tell better stories about themselves, frequently through images and animation. Part Dutch, part Indian and raised in Suriname, Michael had an interesting upbringing along with adventures in many different ventures. All the different strands of Michael's life come together at the end to where we find him today as a confident creator. In our conversation, we cover a number of topics, including: what happens to others when you tell your story; an insight into the drip-drip effect of advertising; and the four key things that every story has to have in it. What is particularly interesting is that, in terms of basic structure, we all have the same story. The nuances may shift but the essence is the same for everyone – and this is why we identify so much with books, films and the power of story.
