    £75 Billion Opportunity: Professor Monder Ram OBE on Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship

    Episode Summary : Could the UK economy gain a £75 billion boost by empowering ethnic minority businesses?In this episode of The Cashflow Show, host Clayton M. Coke interviews Professor Monder Ram OBE, Director of CREME at Aston University, about the Time to Change report. Professor Ram reveals how ethnic minority entrepreneurs, twice as entrepreneurial as their white counterparts, face barriers in finance, markets, and support, yet hold untapped potential for growth.Learn how addressing these challenges can drive economic growth and how businesses can support inclusive entrepreneurship.Listen in for actionable insights and visit CREME at Aston University for the full Time to Change report! Key Discussion Points CREME’s Mission: The Centre for Research in Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship (CREME) researches and develops solutions for challenges facing UK ethnic minority businesses (00:28–01:26).Entrepreneurial Disparity: Ethnic minority communities are twice as entrepreneurial but face higher business failure rates after 3.5 years compared to white counterparts (01:26–04:22).Economic Potential: Ethnic minority businesses contribute £25 billion to the UK economy, with potential to reach £100 billion if barriers are addressed (03:23–03:52).Time to Change Report: A NatWest-backed study provides 10 evidence-based recommendations to boost growth through better finance, data, and support (07:18–11:11).Finance Barriers: Black and ethnic minority entrepreneurs are twice as likely to be discouraged from seeking finance despite having bankable propositions (04:52–05:50).Support Gaps: Current business support often misaligns with the needs of minority entrepreneurs, who require high-value networks and supply chain access (06:20–07:18).Government Strategy: The Backing Your Business strategy incorporates CREME’s recommendations, emphasizing the everyday economy and inclusive policies (13:08–15:32).NatWest’s Role: NatWest’s 10-year incubator program fosters inclusive support, creating mutual atmospheres for minority entrepreneurs (17:00–18:24).Regional SME Summits: Government summits aim to gather feedback, but success depends on implementation and community partnerships (19:20–20:49).Global Lessons: Long-term, well-funded initiatives in the US and Canada show the need for sustained investment, unlike the UK’s often short-lived programs (22:16–24:11).Key Takeaways Ethnic minority businesses contribute £25 billion to the UK economy, with a potential £75 billion GVA boost if growth barriers are addressed.Key challenges include access to finance, high-value markets, and tailored support, with discouragement doubling the hurdle for bankable propositions.The Time to Change report, backed by NatWest, offers 10 evidence-based solutions, now part of the government’s Backing Your Business strategy.Community partnerships and long-term investment, as seen in NatWest’s incubators, are critical for inclusive entrepreneurship.Regional SME summits must focus on implementation to ensure minority businesses benefit from inclusive policies.Notable Quotes “Minority communities are twice as entrepreneurial as their white counterparts for many decades... yet they continue to face challenges.” – Professor Monder Ram (01:26)“Ethnic minority businesses contribute £25 billion to the economy... That contribution could increase fourfold to £100 billion.” – Professor Monder Ram (03:23)“Black and ethnic minority entrepreneurs are discouraged from accessing the system... They’re twice as likely to be discouraged from raising finance.” – Professor Monder Ram (05:20)“Supporting black businesses isn’t preferential treatment, it’s simply levelling the playing field and realising an opportunity.” – Professor Monder Ram (14:35)“The first thing is believe in yourself... There’s a huge amount of support out there and people who want to give back.” – Professor Monder Ram (25:08)Actionable Insights for Businesses Enhance Finance Access: Partner with banks to create streamlined loan processes, reducing discouragement for ethnic minority entrepreneurs.Build Inclusive Networks: Develop mentorship programs or incubators, like NatWest’s, to connect minority businesses with high-value supply chains.Support Everyday Economy: Invest in retail, cafes, and other minority-dominated sectors to boost local economic growth.Advocate for Data Collection: Push for a UK census of ethnic minority businesses to better understand and support their contributions.Engage Community Organizations: Collaborate with groups like the Black Founders Collective to deliver tailored business support and increase visibility.Resources CREME at Aston University: Access the Time to Change report and more at CREME at Aston The Time to Change Report can be viewed HEREThe Cashflow Show can be reached here:Website: www.thecashflowshowpodcast.com  Email: thecashflowshowpodcast@gmail.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/thecashflowshow  Instagram: https://instagram.com/thecashflowshowpodcast To sponsor or advertise on The Cashflow Show Podcast, contact us at thecashflowshowpodcast@gmail.com Clayton M Coke can be found here:LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/claytoncoke Website: https://www.prmsltd.co.uk Email: info@prmsltd.co.uk Twitter: https://twitter.com/prmsltd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prmsltd/ Our theme music is called "The Mediator - aka Theme from The Cashflow Show" [PRS] and "Better Call Clayton" [PRS]  “What are YOU like?”, “60 Second Shoot-Out” &"What About The Tech?" are all intellectual properties of Dialogue [London] Ltd (c) Clayton M Coke/PRMS Ltd/Dialogue [London] Ltd | All Rights Reserved  ★ Support this podcast ★

    The Resilient Entrepreneur: From Crisis to Enlightenment with Dr. Rachel Doern

    Episode Summary: Entrepreneurs face crises that test their limits but can they build resilience to thrive? In this episode of The Cashflow Show, host Clayton M. Coke interviews Dr Rachel Doern, author of The Resilient Entrepreneur and Associate Professor at Goldsmiths, University of London. Drawing on her research from the 2011 London riots and COVID-19, and research on crises and resilience from different parts of the world Dr Rachel unpacks resilience as a dynamic process, sharing strategies to strengthen it and pitfalls to avoid. Learn practical tools like distraction, positive reappraisal, and expectation management to navigate business setbacks and boost personal wellbeing. Listen now to discover how to fortify your resilience and grab The Resilient Entrepreneur at Bristol University Press or Amazon! Key Discussion Points Defining Resilience: Resilience is a learnable process, not just a trait, involving adjustments to attention, thinking, and resources to recover from crises (02:16–03:13).Book Overview: The Resilient Entrepreneur uses the 2011 London riots to explore how entrepreneurs build resilience through strategies and avoid vulnerabilities (01:47–02:46).London Riots Context: The 2011 riots, sparked by Mark Duggan’s death, impacted 22 of 32 London boroughs, with small businesses looted or burned, shaping Doern’s research (05:29–06:25).Resilience Strategies: Chapters 2–8 cover strengthening strategies like distraction, positive reappraisal, and expectation management; Chapters 9–11 address pitfalls like denial (09:18–11:59).Distraction Tactics: Healthy distraction (e.g., sports, learning new skills) shifts focus from crisis stress, while unhealthy “big D” distraction (e.g., substance use) numbs emotions (13:24–14:19).Positive Reappraisal: Reframing setbacks, like riot victims seeing opportunities in rebuilding, fosters long-term resilience (14:48–15:42).Expectation Management: Tempering optimism with realistic goals reduces disappointment and regulates emotions during uncertainty (16:10–17:33).Positive Self-Talk: Grounded, evidence-based affirmations (e.g., recalling past successes) boost confidence, unlike unrooted manifestation (18:02–19:45).Entrepreneurship Perception: The term “entrepreneur” should include everyday small business owners, not just high-profile figures like Elon Musk (20:15–22:35).Book’s Purpose: Aims to share actionable resilience tools, inspire broader audiences, and highlight global crisis management research (23:04–23:59).Key Takeaways Resilience is a dynamic, learnable process involving mental and practical adjustments, not just an innate trait.The 2011 London riots revealed how entrepreneurs recover through strategies like distraction and reappraisal, offering lessons for any crisis.Healthy distraction and positive self-talk help manage immediate stress, while reappraisal and expectation management support long-term recovery.Misconceptions about entrepreneurship exclude everyday business owners; resilience strategies apply to all.Businesses lose £51bn annually to poor mental health—resilience tools can boost wellbeing and productivity.Notable Quotes “Resilience is something you build, like a muscle... It’s about the kinds of adjustments entrepreneurs make to their attention, thinking, situation, and resources.” – Rachel Doern (02:46)“A crisis can be big or small... Losing a key member of staff or going through a personal situation like a divorce can impact wellbeing.” – Rachel Doern (03:41)“Some [riot victims] said, ‘Yes, it’s terrible, but at least my business wasn’t burned down. I still have the capability to move forward.’” – Rachel Doern (15:14)“Positive self-talk is about grounding what you’re saying in reality... It’s not about staring in the mirror and just saying things over and over.” – Rachel Doern (19:18)“The entrepreneur includes the self-employed, those who spot and exploit opportunities... not just Elon Musk.” – Rachel Doern (21:14)Actionable Insights for Businesses Practice Healthy Distraction: Encourage employees to engage in absorbing activities (e.g., team-building games) during crises to reduce stress without numbing emotions.Set Realistic Goals: Use expectation management by setting achievable milestones (e.g., securing one new client post-crisis) to maintain morale and avoid disappointment.Reframe Setbacks: Train teams to view challenges as opportunities, like pivoting to new markets after a disruption, to foster long-term resilience.Promote Positive Self-Talk: Create a culture where employees reflect on past successes (e.g., through journaling) to boost confidence during tough times.Broaden Entrepreneurship Mindset: Recognize all team members as potential innovators, not just high-profile leaders, to inspire resilience across your organization.Resources The Resilient Entrepreneur by Rachel Doern: Available at Bristol University Press, Amazon, and Waterstones.The Cashflow Show can be reached here:Website: www.thecashflowshowpodcast.com  Email: thecashflowshowpodcast@gmail.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/thecashflowshow  Instagram: https://instagram.com/thecashflowshowpodcast To sponsor or advertise on The Cashflow Show Podcast, contact us at thecashflowshowpodcast@gmail.com Clayton M Coke can be found here:LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/claytoncoke Website: https://www.prmsltd.co.uk Email: info@prmsltd.co.uk Twitter: https://twitter.com/prmsltd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prmsltd/ Our theme music is called "The Mediator - aka Theme from The Cashflow Show" [PRS] and "Better Call Clayton" [PRS] As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.  “What are YOU like?”, “60 Second Shoot-Out” &"What About The Tech?" are all intellectual properties of Dialogue [London] Ltd (c) Clayton M Coke/PRMS Ltd/Dialogue [London] Ltd | All...

    London’s Global Investment Edge: Jace Tyrrell on Attracting £100B in Capital

    Episode Summary: London is the world’s most traded real estate city, but its investment dominance isn’t guaranteed! In this episode of The Cashflow Show, host Clayton M. Coke interviews Jace Tyrrell, CEO of Opportunity London, about attracting £100 billion in real estate, energy, and infrastructure investment. They discuss rising construction costs, sovereign risks, and AI’s impact on office spaces, plus opportunities from US university expansions. Discover how businesses can navigate high costs, leverage infrastructure projects, and capitalize on London’s dynamic market to drive growth. Tune in for expert insights and visit Opportunity.London to explore investment projects worth £100M–£1.5B! Key Discussion Points London’s Investment Appeal: London remains the top global real estate market, driven by scale, a dynamic 10-million population, 300 languages, top universities, and a thousand-year-old legal system (06:19–07:11).Risks to Investment Hub Status: Rising inflation, cost of capital, and housing challenges threaten London’s edge; upcoming budget decisions will impact global investor confidence (00:58–01:28).High Construction Costs: Post-COVID, costs have risen 40–50%, outpacing asset values. Modern methods of construction (MMC) like digital printing and prefabrication can reduce costs (03:10–03:35).Infrastructure Investment Demand: Investors show strong interest in transport and energy projects, but need clarity on government stability to avoid sovereign risk from shifting policies (04:53–05:49).US University Expansion: Private US universities (e.g., MIT, Harvard) are eyeing London due to visa restrictions and funding cuts, creating opportunities for student housing and affordable real estate (08:03–09:29).AI’s Impact on Offices: AI reduces demand for junior white-collar roles, prompting businesses to design flexible, high-quality office spaces to balance productivity and engagement (09:58–12:06).London Investment Summit: Opportunity London hosts 300 investors to showcase 25 live projects worth £9.1B, fostering deals with public-private partners (12:30–13:22).Sovereign Risk Concerns: Long-term investors need assurance that political shifts won’t alter infrastructure or energy project commitments (05:21–05:49).Housing and Regeneration Needs: Affordable housing and high street regeneration require innovative financing and public-private partnerships to meet London’s growing needs (01:28–04:00).Market Performance: London traded £7.1B in real estate this year, up 14% from last year, but still below pre-COVID £25B, aiming for £15–16B by year-end (07:11–07:33).Key Takeaways London’s global investment dominance relies on its scale, diversity, and legal stability, but faces risks from inflation, housing shortages, and policy uncertainty.Rising construction costs (40–50% post-COVID) demand innovative solutions like modern methods of construction (MMC) to make projects viable.Investors prioritize transport and energy infrastructure but require long-term government commitment to mitigate sovereign risk.US university expansions offer investment potential in student and affordable housing, boosting London’s real estate market.AI-driven office space shifts call for flexible, premium workspaces to maintain productivity and attract talent.Notable Quotes “London is still and hopefully will continue to be the most globally traded real estate city in the world.” – Jace Tyrrell (00:29)“Global capital has a choice... We’re in a race for that capital, which is why our partnership was set up to help us win that race for London.” – Jace Tyrrell (00:58)“The housing challenge for most global cities is very acute in London. We have a 10 million population, a very dynamic and talented workforce.” – Jace Tyrrell (01:28)“We need to design the offices of the future... AI is a disruptor, particularly in white-collar [roles].” – Jace Tyrrell (10:49)“We’re unveiling five new projects for the capital tomorrow worth about 9.1 billion.” – Jace Tyrrell(13:22)Actionable Insights for Businesses Adopt Modern Construction Methods: Use digital printing and prefabrication to reduce construction costs by up to 40–50%, making real estate projects more viable.Engage in Public-Private Partnerships: Collaborate with local authorities and the mayor’s office to unlock housing and infrastructure projects, ensuring deliverability.Design AI-Ready Workspaces: Invest in flexible, high-quality office spaces to balance remote work and in-person collaboration, enhancing productivity amid AI disruptions.Target University-Driven Opportunities: Explore investments in student housing and faculty accommodations as US universities expand into London.Mitigate Sovereign Risk: Advocate for stable government policies in budget discussions to assure investors of long-term project reliability.Resources Opportunity London Website: Explore investment projects worth £100M–£1.5B at www.opportunity.london.London Investment Summit Details: Learn about live projects and connect with partners at www.opportunity.london/summit.

    UK Workers Miss Nearly Two Weeks a Year: Tackling Soaring Absence Rates with Rachel Suff - CIPD

    Episode Summary UK employees are missing nearly two full working weeks a year due to sickness—9.4 days on average, the highest in over a decade!In this episode of The Cashflow Show, host Clayton M. Coke speaks with Rachel Suff, Senior Wellbeing Advisor at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), about their latest survey revealing drivers like mental ill health (41% of long-term absences) and stress (26% of short-term absences). They explore the post-pandemic rise and proactive strategies for businesses. Key Discussion Points Rising Absence Rates: UK employees averaged 9.4 sick days last year, up from 7.8 in 2023 and 5.8 pre-pandemic, equating to nearly two working weeks (00:58–01:27).Long-Term Absence Causes: Primarily driven by mental ill health (41%), back/neck pain injuries, and other long-term conditions like cancer (01:56–02:26).Short-Term Absence Drivers: Mainly minor illnesses (78%), with mental ill health (29%) and stress (26%) also significant, often scattered throughout the year (05:17–05:47).Mental Health Trends: Mental ill health has risen post-pandemic due to increased openness, global events, and life pressures like caring responsibilities; it fluctuates on a spectrum including anxiety, depression, and stress (03:23–04:47).Demographic Factors: Nearly 9 million people in the UK have long-term health conditions, exacerbated by an aging workforce more susceptible to disabilities (02:26–02:55).Data and Prevention: Organizations must collect absence data to identify risks, differentiate causes, and proactively manage both short- and long-term absences through supportive conversations (06:14–07:09).Manager Training Needs: Many small businesses lack HR support; good management principles like empathy and flexibility help spot issues early, with signposting to GPs for serious conditions (07:38–09:32).Health Benefits Impact: Providing affordable options like counseling, employee assistance programs, or health cash plans can reduce absences and is highly valued by employees (10:29–11:56).Stress Management Tools: Employers have a legal duty to prevent stress via HSE tools like risk assessments and management standards addressing demands, control, change, and relationships (12:24–14:18).First Steps for New Leaders: Gather health and absence data, review employee surveys, identify risks, train managers, and implement supportive policies like flexible working (14:48–16:38).Key Takeaways Sickness absence has surged to 9.4 days per employee annually, driven by mental health, minor illnesses, and long-term conditions, with an aging workforce adding pressure.Mental ill health is the top cause of long-term absences (41%), amplified by pandemic effects and greater societal openness to discussing it.Proactive data collection and manager training are essential to differentiate causes and prevent absences, rather than reacting after they occur.Affordable health benefits like counseling or cash plans can significantly reduce absences, especially in small businesses.HSE stress tools, including risk assessments, help mitigate workplace stressors like heavy workloads and poor relationships.Notable Quotes “It is nearly two full working weeks, but that is an average. Some employees might just have one or two days... but others with more serious health conditions could be off for longer.” – Rachel Suff (01:27)“Mental ill health comprises conditions like anxiety or depression, which can really vary... And there's also stress, which isn't a clinical condition, but can cause physical and mental health symptoms.” – Rachel Suff (04:47)“It's really important to keep in touch... Don't let absence drift, keep in touch with people.” – Rachel Suff (07:09)“A lot of people are living, more people are working with a health condition than they're not, and they are managing their health issue.” – Rachel Suff (10:01)“Employers in this country are under a legal duty to protect people from stress and there are really good tools available to help them manage that.” – Rachel Suff (12:54)Actionable Insights for Businesses Collect and Analyze Data: Review absence patterns, employee surveys, and health risks specific to your organization to identify main causes like stress or minor illnesses.Train Managers Proactively: Equip line managers with skills for empathetic conversations, early issue spotting, and supportive return-to-work plans to reduce short-term absences.Implement Stress Prevention Tools: Use HSE management standards for risk assessments on demands, control, change, and relationships to legally mitigate workplace stress.Offer Affordable Health Benefits: Introduce cost-effective options like employee assistance programs or health cash plans to support mental health and minimize long-term absences.Foster Flexibility and Support: Provide temporary adjustments like flexible hours for those managing health conditions or caring responsibilities, promoting a culture of open dialogue.Resources CIPD Health and Wellbeing at Work 2025 Survey Report: Download the full report with findings and top tips at www.cipd.org/uk/knowledge/reports/health-well-being-work/.HSE Stress Management Tools: Access risk assessments and management standards at www.hse.gov.uk/stress/.Simplyhealth Homepage.The Cashflow Show can be reached here:Website: www.thecashflowshowpodcast.com  Email: thecashflowshowpodcast@gmail.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/thecashflowshow  Instagram: https://instagram.com/thecashflowshowpodcast To sponsor or advertise on The Cashflow Show Podcast, contact us at thecashflowshowpodcast@gmail.com Clayton M Coke can be found here:LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/claytoncoke Website: https://www.prmsltd.co.uk Email: info@prmsltd.co.uk Twitter: https://twitter.com/prmsltd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prmsltd/ Our theme music is called "The Mediator - aka T...

    Hybrid Working: A Threat to Young Workers’ Careers and Mental Health? | Natasha Devon MBE

    Is hybrid working stunting the growth of your youngest employees? Nearly half of 18–24-year-olds say it’s hurting their workplace relationships and mental health!In this episode of The Cashflow Show Podcast, host Clayton M. Coke interviews Natasha Devon, MBE, writer, broadcaster, and mental health activist, to explore new research from the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). Natasha unpacks why 48% of young workers struggle to build relationships and 17% report worsening mental health in hybrid setups, and how businesses can adapt.Learn how to redesign hybrid models to support young workers with structured feedback, mentoring, and collaboration opportunities, ensuring they thrive in today’s workplace.Tune in to discover practical strategies to boost engagement, retention, and mental well-being for the next generation of talent, and visit IOSH for actionable resources. Key Discussion Points Rise of Hybrid Working: Accelerated by COVID lockdowns, hybrid models benefit established workers but pose challenges for younger employees entering the workforce (01:19–02:13).Relationship Struggles: 48% of 18–24-year-olds find it hard to build workplace relationships due to limited face-to-face interaction in hybrid setups (02:39–03:07).Mentoring Gaps: Only 16% of entry-level staff receive regular mentoring, leaving young workers without critical guidance to learn the ropes (03:36–09:08).Mental Health Impact: 17% of young workers report worsened mental health, with 50% citing cost of living as a top stressor, compounded by isolation and lack of feedback (05:46–07:40).Solutions for Equity: Structured check-ins (desired by 45%), in-person mentoring, and face-to-face collaboration (wanted by 35%) can support young workers’ growth (04:27–14:44).Employer Mindset Shift: Open dialogue and anonymous feedback systems can address young workers’ needs, breaking from outdated top-down management styles (09:36–11:04).Cost of Living Concerns: Financial stress affects 50% of young workers; employers can help with solutions like subsidized transport or community partnerships (11:33–12:20).Collaboration Challenges: Hybrid setups scatter teams, but hot-desking or rented communal spaces can foster in-person collaboration (14:44–15:40).Key Takeaways Hybrid working, while beneficial for some, hinders young workers’ ability to form relationships and access mentoring, impacting their career growth.Mental health suffers due to isolation, lack of feedback, and financial stress, with 17% of young workers reporting a decline in well-being.Structured weekly check-ins, in-person collaboration, and mentoring are critical to supporting young workers in hybrid environments.Employers must prioritize open dialogue and anonymous feedback to understand and address young workers’ unique needs.Creative solutions like subsidized transport or shared workspaces can alleviate financial and collaboration challenges, boosting retention.Notable Quotes “48% of 18–24-year-olds struggle to build workplace relationships. That’s almost half.” – Natasha Devon (03:07)“When you don’t name something, it becomes invisible. Young people need that constant constructive feedback to learn the ropes.” – Natasha Devon (03:36)“If you’re doing everything remotely, potentially four of the five key human psychological needs are suffering.” – Natasha Devon (06:15)“Short-termist thinking like using AI or online training saves money now, but mental health issues cost more down the line.” – Natasha Devon (07:10)“The number one fear of employees is if I talk about my struggles, it’ll affect my career progression. Anonymous feedback removes that fear.” – Natasha Devon (16:11)Actionable Insights for Businesses Implement Structured Check-Ins: Schedule regular, short feedback sessions (2–3 times weekly) to provide young workers with clear guidance and reduce isolation.Prioritize In-Person Mentoring: Carve out face-to-face training time, especially for entry-level staff, to replicate informal guidance lost in hybrid setups.Foster Collaboration: Use hot-desking or rented communal spaces for periodic in-person team meetings to boost collaboration (desired by 35% of workers).Address Financial Stress: Offer cost-of-living support like subsidized transport or local business partnerships to ease financial burdens and improve morale.Encourage Open Dialogue: Create anonymous feedback systems to allow young workers to voice concerns without fear of career repercussions, fostering trust.Resources Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH): Visit www.iosh.com for tips on supporting young workers in hybrid workplaces.Where’s Your Head At?

    Why 40% of Adults Struggle with Confidence in Learning New Skills – Insights from Prof. Steve Peters

    Are you or your team struggling to embrace new skills at work? You’re not alone—40% of adults face a confidence dip when learning, with career optimism peaking at just 25! In this episode of The Cashflow Show Podcast, host Clayton M. Coke sits down with Professor Steve Peters, consultant psychiatrist and author of The Chimp Paradox, to unpack new research revealing why so many adults lose confidence in skill development.  Professor Peters explains the neuroscience behind this dip, how the brain’s risk-averse "Chimp" system holds us back, and how to unlock untapped potential for career growth. Discover practical strategies to overcome fear of failure, reframe self-perception, and foster a workplace culture that boosts confidence and innovation. Whether you’re a business leader or an employee, this episode offers actionable insights to thrive in today’s fast-evolving workplace. Key Takeaways Confidence dips post-25 due to the brain’s shift to risk aversion, but this can be reversed by reframing failure and self-perception.Comparing yourself to others or perfectionism undermines confidence; focus on personal growth and realistic goals instead.Employers can unlock employee potential by fostering a culture of emotional skill-building and flexible learning opportunities.The Skills for Life campaign provides accessible resources to help adults and businesses upskill, from apprenticeships to online learning.Managing the "Chimp" brain through mindset shifts can lead to greater resilience, risk-taking, and career progression.Notable Quotes “Dealing with failure is a myth. What we’re really saying is I can’t deal with the consequences of failure, which is different. As adults, we can deal with anything.” – Professor Steve Peters (02:24)“If we keep comparing to others and to perfection, we naturally lose confidence because we always perceive others as better.” – Professor Steve Peters (03:20)“If I perceive myself as a proactive go-getter, my brain won’t let me sit back because it feels wrong.” – Professor Steve Peters (05:15)“One in three adults remain curious about their untapped potential. Couldn’t this do fantastic things for businesses and the economy?” – Clayton M. Coke (06:14)“Get yourself in a good place psychologically. Learn about your mindset, and everything else is plain sailing.” – Professor Steve Peters (09:56)Actionable Insights for Businesses Foster Emotional Skills: Train employees in emotional intelligence to manage the "Chimp" brain, reducing fear of failure and boosting confidence in learning new skills.Encourage Flexible Learning: Leverage programs like Skills for Life to offer diverse training options (e.g., online courses, mentorship) tailored to individual needs.Reframe Failure: Create a workplace culture that views setbacks as manageable consequences, encouraging risk-taking and innovation.Tap into Curiosity: Identify and nurture the 30% of employees curious about their potential to drive business growth and engagement.Promote Proactive Mindsets: Help employees reframe self-perception as proactive and capable, reducing reluctance to upskill or take on new challenges.Resources Skills for Life Campaign: Visit www.skillsforcareers.education.gov.uk to explore apprenticeships, boot camps, and online learning opportunities.The Chimp Paradox by Professor Steve Peters: Learn more about managing your mindset with this bestselling book, available at major bookstores A Path Through the Jungle by Professor Steve Peters: A follow-up book focusing on emotional skills, available at major bookstores .

    Revolutionizing Travel: Alex Cruz on AI, Business and the Future of the Industry

    In this dynamic episode of The Cashflow Show, recorded live at Tech Show London 2025, host Clayton M. Coke sits down with Alex Cruz, former CEO of British Airways, now Vice-Chairman of Westjet, to explore the modernization of the travel industry. With 35 years of experience, Alex discusses how outdated systems, like 70-year-old reservation codes, clash with rising customer expectations shaped by digital-first businesses. He delves into the transformative potential of AI in addressing complex operational challenges, boosting revenues, and enhancing customer experiences, while emphasizing the need for a risk-averse industry to embrace experimentation and cultural change. Key Discussion Points Outdated Systems: The travel industry relies on 70-year-old structures, like six-digit reservation codes, and aging IT systems that struggle to meet modern demands. Customer Expectations: Exposure to seamless digital apps has raised traveler expectations, creating pressure to modernize operations and baggage tracking. AI’s Dual Role: AI is being adopted for internal efficiencies (e.g., data analysis) and solving complex industry challenges, like crew scheduling and dynamic pricing. Revenue Impact: AI-driven pricing solutions can boost airline revenues by 5–10% without significantly affecting customers, leveraging price elasticity. Cultural Barriers: The risk-averse nature of the travel industry slows AI adoption, requiring a cultural shift toward experimentation and learning from failures. Future of AI: AI will reshape competition by enabling faster solution development, but businesses must ask smarter questions to maximize its value.Key Takeaways The travel industry’s legacy systems are a bottleneck, unable to keep pace with digital-first customer expectations. AI offers significant opportunities for operational efficiency and revenue growth, but its success depends on cultural openness to experimentation. Businesses must prioritize value generation, with AI delivering measurable results like 5–10% revenue increases through dynamic pricing. The human element—asking the right questions and fostering a learning culture—is critical to leveraging AI effectively. Over the next five years, early AI adopters in travel will gain a competitive edge by solving complex problems faster.Notable Quotes “We’re struggling with bringing together [customer] expectations with our older legacy landscapes.” – Alex Cruz “AI is going to help us… digest many more pieces of information than standard old software or human beings were able to.” – Alex Cruz “The big pressure is going to be on what questions are you asking? What is it that you really want?” – Alex CruzActionable Insights for Businesses Audit Legacy Systems: Assess outdated IT infrastructure and prioritize modernization to meet customer expectations and stay competitive. Experiment with AI: Start small with AI pilots for internal processes or pricing strategies, learning from failures to refine solutions. Foster a Learning Culture: Encourage teams to embrace risk-taking and experimentation to overcome the industry’s risk-averse mindset. Focus on Value: Ensure AI initiatives deliver clear ROI, such as cost savings or revenue increases, to secure stakeholder buy-in. Ask Smarter Questions: Train teams to define precise problems for AI to solve, maximizing the technology’s impact on business outcomes.Resources LinkedIn: Follow Alex Cruz for insights on travel and technology. Tech Show London: Learn about the event at techshowlondon.co.uk. AI in Travel: Explore industry trends via IATA for airline technology advancements. The Cashflow Show can be reached here:Website: www.thecashflowshowpodcast.com  Email: thecashflowshowpodcast@gmail.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/thecashflowshow  Instagram: https://instagram.com/thecashflowshowpodcast To sponsor or advertise on The Cashflow Show Podcast, contact us at thecashflowshowpodcast@gmail.com Clayton M Coke can be found here:LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/claytoncoke Website: https://www.prmsltd.co.uk Email: info@prmsltd.co.uk Twitter: https://twitter.com/prmsltd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prmsltd/ Our theme music is called "The Mediator - aka Theme from The Cashflow Show" [PRS] and "Better Call Clayton" [PRS] As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.  “What are YOU like?” & “60 Second Shoot-out” are both intellectual properties of Dialogue [London] Ltd (c) Clayton M Coke/PRMS Ltd/Dialogue [London] Ltd | All Rights Reserved  ★ Support this podcast ★
