The Powerful Shifts That Stops You Overworking, Under-Earning and Wanting To Quit Your Business Oct 13, 2026 11:47 What if the reason you're working so hard, earning less than you'd like and occasionally fantasising about running back to a job on LinkedIn is actually much simpler than you think? After 16 years in business, I've learned a few things about what makes a business feel good to run, and annoyingly, some of them took me far too long to figure out for myself.

Is Your Business TRULY Giving You The Life You Want? Oct 6, 2026 18:10 You probably didn’t start your business so you could work evenings, squeeze client work into every available gap and spend your downtime thinking about revenue. And yet somewhere between trying to make money, grow, be successful and keep up with everything an online business apparently requires, it’s surprisingly easy to build something that gives you less of the life you wanted, not more.

Here's What 5 Years of Podcasting Weekly Has Taught Me About Consistency Sep 29, 2026 21:05 Five years. 232 episodes. More than 80,000 downloads. And a frankly alarming number of hours spent talking to myself into a microphone.

So for this episode, I wanted to do something a little different and reflect on what showin

But before you blame Instagram, the algorithm, the economy or convince yourself you need a much bigger audience, there’s somewhere else I want you to look first: your business model. Because sometimes what looks like a marketing problem is
Why We Need to Build Sustainable Businesses VS Reaching for 'Consistent Months'
Why We Need to Build Sustainable Businesses VS Reaching for 'Consistent Months' Sep 15, 2026 11:07 What if the consistent £10K month you’ve been chasing is actually the wrong goal? Because I don’t think your business needs to make the same amount of money every month to be successful, and I definitely don’t think you need to keep chasing bigger and bigger revenue milestones just because the online business world tells you to. In this episode, I’m sharing the number I think we should be paying f

How to Get REALLY Confident in Business + Lead In Your Industry Sep 8, 2026 14:01 We all know that person in business who seems effortlessly confident. They can step onto a stage, sell their offers, share a strong opinion or speak about their expertise without apparently questioning every word that comes out of their mouth. It’s very easy to look at them and think, I wish I had their confidence. But after seven years of thinking, talking and teaching about confidence, I don’t b

Sold Out but Burnt Out: Why Being Busy Can Still Mean Your Offers are Broken Sep 1, 2026 08:30 Being fully booked sounds like the dream, doesn’t it? A full client roster, consistent income, plenty of work coming in and the ability to announce on Instagram that you’re officially SOLD OUT. And look, I love seeing this kind of win. But there’s a nuance to being booked out that we don’t talk about enough, because being busy with bookings and client work is only a success brag when the business

Why AI is Making Us Better at Offer Strategy
Why AI is Making Us Better at Offer Strategy Aug 11, 2026 20:55 AI is making everything faster, easier and, quite frankly, a little bit samey. We can generate an entire sales page in seconds, ask for 100 content ideas before breakfast and get Claude to spit out a new offer before we've even decided whether anyone actually wants it. But I think there's an unexpected upside to all of this: AI might actually be making us better at offer strategy. In this episode,
