I guess that you will be used to asking Alexa/Echo to add to your shopping list, tell you the time or what the weather forecast is but have you ever thought that this voice activated AI could possibly help engage your target client more quickly and easily than the standard approaches to marketing? 

Currently you can’t search the internet on it but this will likely change at some point (probably sooner than we think) and if you don’t have a voice activated presence you may not be found. 

This week’s podcast is with Chris Griffiths of Voicon, who will talk about how interconnected voice technology can help future proof your business. 

Join me for this weeks podcast and find out why and how maximising on your existing systems and apps can give you back some time and allow you to concentrate on building client relationships and grow your business. 

My guest this week is the amazing Joanna Damani, owner of Sparkly Hippo Virtual Solutions.  She specializes in helping business owners to streamline their business and automate all the processes that don't need a human touch.  Automating the tedious tasks allows you to focus on developing their products & services and spend more time building client relationships. 

I’m excited be joined by Ashley Bishop of ABC Fitness Academy who works with business owners to help them perform at their best because their business demands it and their family deserve it!  This weeks Boardroom Buddies podcast is absolutely enlightening and informative about tailoring a manageable and doable fitness routine into your incredibly busy schedule.  But take a breath and grab a brew and listen to Ashley’s story….he has been there and said the same…..

My guest in this podcast is the amazing personal brand photographer John Cleary.

John explains why your images may or may not engage prospective clients to buy from you and why your own authenticity and personal brand matter more than you think.

We hope you enjoy this show!

My guest this week is a real specialist in what he does.  With a master’s degree in digital architecture his real passion lies in 3D visualisations. Resolution studios have been exploring how Game engines can be used in the industry to display and share unbuilt buildings virtually, to design and build better and more efficiently.

And he is a micro business owner -just like us. 

Wondering if podcasting will help you tell your story? It isn’t as scary as you might think.

“What makes or breaks a good podcast is the idea, it’s about what you want to share with your people and that message resonates with your audience and getting that right is the powerful thing about podcasting.... it is not the equipment and editing and that stuff.

Gary from Grow Marketing Media has been podcasting for many years and now helps business owners just like us, to publish their podcasts. Gary produces videos and podcasts and has created

Grow Radio which features podcasts all with the express aim to help other owners tell their story.
