This is an interview with the above named about the digital mentoring scheme whereby Sheffield Digital pair those experienced in the world of the digital with those less so.

The Elf is has been paired with Mandy from https://www.pocketsforwomen.co.uk/ as she has stacks of experience in making websites but much less so in promoting websites digitally. Mandy was frustrated by the clothing industry and the way it makes so many clothes, for women, that don't have pockets so she has made https://www.pocketsforwomen.co.uk/ and has linked up with various (many famous) companies to display the products they have that do have such options.

This episode is totally unedited as requested by Ant as he doesn;t like podcasts to seem overly polished and unnatural. Saved me loads of work that did.

Ant talks about how was involved in some "naughty" stuff earlier in his life, how he saw the error of that lifestyle, what he has done to change it and how he is now trying to help others and lead them away from that same life plan.

Ant can be found on the following platforms
