New Year Resolution time - do any of yours involve money management or that special something that you'd like to save up for?

Either way you should be listening in to this inspiring story of two female founders shaking things up in an industry that has failed to address female financial 'wellness' for far too long.

What started as an anonymous blog launched by Laura to share her own money management 'playbook' that she had created has now become 'Financielle', an app and community helping people 'get their money sh£t together'.

Laura was prompted to launch the business by her sister Holly who has joined her on the exciting journey of launching and scaling Financielle.  Find out more about their story and follow their journey at www.financielle.co.uk or on instagram - www.instagram.com/financielle/ and of course on the App Store.

Merry Christmas you filthy animals!

My gift to you is this banger of a conversation with Ash Jones who is an absolute guru on the topic of personal branding.  Through his agency, Great Influence, Ash and his team work with some of the biggest names in business in Greater Manchester and beyond from Steven Bartlett to Sacha Lord, Gary Neville, Katy Lesson and Dom McGregor.

If you're a business leader, or aspire to be one, you should give this episode a listen as it's fantastic starting point on the top of personal branding.

Ash shares how Great Influence help clients reach even greater scale and impact through a strategic and focused approach to content creation.  But as he says in the conversation it's not for everyone.  Building your personal brand requires a clear understanding of 'why' you're doing it, an ongoing commitment to the time needed and also a willingness to be 'brave' in sharing deeper content that creates an even richer dialogue with your audience.

A HUGE thank you to Ash for taking the time out for this conversation.  To find out more about Great Influence head over to www.greatinfluence.co.uk or www.instagram.com/greatinfluence_

Ged Tivey has been a partner and investor at the heart of some of the most impactful businesses in Greater Manchester over the past decade from Zerum to e3creative and most recently with Gary Neville’s Relentless Group.  Ged has now launched his own design and venture studio - Kameno - making it his mission to help build purpose-led businesses that positively impact the world.

In this conversation we cover off how Ged accelerated his career by working in smaller businesses and he also speaks with great honesty about the toll his work ethic has taken on his mental health at times.

With this perspective it's great to hear how Ged is actively working to support founders and their teams through Kameno and as you'll hear the first venture he has supported, Rezzil, recently got name-checked by non other than Mark Zuckerberg.

Imagine spending your career building towards a single dream of opening your own gym and then finally achieving that dream in the same year that a Global Pandemic causes gyms to close and gym opening and attendance become a hugely debated and controversial topic.  😳

This is the rollercoaster that Steve Hoyles has been through over the past two years as he planned for and launched 'MyGym' with his business partner David Sullivan.

However in this conversation Steve shares how the gym is now going from strength to strength and the focus they've put on 'community' has created a gym experience unique from the large, faceless, gym chains that typically dominate the industry.
