Hi everyone.  

I just wanted to let everyone who listens to this podcast know that I have decided to change the name of the podcast from the Exponential Organisations podcast to “The Business Bookshelf” podcast.  The reason for this is that for the last 2-3 months the podcasts have been almost exclusively me interviewing business authors and so the name change reflects this.

I will also find the occasional amazing person that I would like to showcase that hasn’t a written a book and so look out for these episodes as well.

I hope this is fine for you and that you continue to listen to the podcast.  If you have any comments about the podcast (apart from the sometimes poor quality of audio which I am trying to address) then please let me know.  Also if you have an author or book that you would like me to highlight then also let me know by emailing [email protected].
