Here’s Episode 29 of my podcast series taken from a Special LinkedIn Live Show 

Do you use any AI in your working day?

Are you wondering what all the fuss is about?

Are you a purist who doesn't want to use this new-fangled thing?

Is this just a passing fad?

Don't worry I feel the same at times which is why we had a chat with Nadin Thomson who is embracing and helping people to get to grips with this brave new world.

In her day-to-day business, she's an SEO expert but she's embracing ChatGPT to help her and her clients and in this one of special show we go deep and answer questions from the audience too. 

Nadin refers to slides in this episode so please go to the Youtube version to see more.

Don't downgrade the dream. Upgrade the action!

Here’s Episode 28 of my podcast series taken from my LinkedIn Live Show Number 90.

Do you like Ice in your Gin? What is ​​your favourite cocktail?

I had a great chat with Giles Stagg from Sip ‘n’ Swig the people who provide corporate bars, wedding bars, event bars, cocktail classes, gin/rum tasting events, dinner party service and contract cellar and line cleaning services.

But he doesn’t just do this. He has also got a gin company.

Or should I say

Award-winning gin company.

Giles is a 51-year-old man who is married to Jodie and has two children named Dalton and Jaxon, as well as a dog named Bramble. They are a busy and often chaotic household as they work from home, as evidenced by the course he once took while holding a baby and with the dog jumping on the sofa with him. He enjoys playing hockey and squash, listening to music, and indulging in a nice glass of red, port, gin, rum, IPA, or cocktail, in moderation with a preference for quality over quantity.

Giles met Jodie six years ago while running a bar in Stratford upon Avon. They have been running Sip 'n' Swig for six years, and for the last two years, they have been doing it full-time. 

They provide event bars of any kind but specialize in cocktails, having trained with the Savoy group at Simpson's in the Strand. Weddings, cocktail masterclasses, and party cocktail bars used to be their biggest draws, but they now do a lot of corporate event work as well. 

In 2021, they launched their own gin brand called Stag, with two London drys, one of which (Stag Smooth) won a silver award at the International Wine & Spirit Competition in 2022, while the latest one (Stag Spiced) won a gold in 2023. They have won various awards over the past few years with their bar company. Since launching the gin brand, they have diversified into corporate gifting with gift boxes of their miniature bottles branded with clients' logos.

Do you like a Curly Wurly?   How are you doing on LinkedIn?

Who are you following in the Accounting and Bookkeeping space?

I had to have Dermot come back again to talk about his Curly Wurly Chart, didn't I?

Dermot has 25 Years in the accounting tech space, which means a wealth of stories on success and how not to do it. All wrapped up in a straightforward and humorous way to explain.

Dermot has developed a spreadsheet that highlights the movers and shakers in the Accounting and Bookkeeping space and has a chart of the top 100 or so.

So many new faces are popping up on his great list and I’m looking forward to meeting most of them at Accountex next month. I’ll be on Stand 430 with the Payroll Sorted gang if you wanna come and find me.

What Dermot is doing with his list is helping us to improve what we do on LinkedIn, helping to create a great community and also encouraging people to do more for the accountants and Bookkeepers and all the wonderful people who help and support them with software and services.

As you know, every Wednesday at 12:30 pm I talk to the wonderful people who help and inspire Accountants & Bookkeepers.

If you are in the accounting space and you don't know my guest this week then where have you been?

This week I’m joined by Jennie Gillam and accountant at Red Fish who has been developing her own Payroll Software.  FreshPay.

Payroll. Is this the BAIN of your life?

Too much work for little reward?

I’m doing a lot with Payroll at the moment, especially with what’s happening at Accountex as I’m with Payroll Sorted on their stand. 

So tell me why you would build your own Payroll App?

My guest this week has done just that and we talk about this and other payroll issues in this podcast.

As the owner of an accountancy practice who struggled for years with payroll software, Jennie was keen to have a payroll package that could save hours of time and stress worrying about payroll by using tools that automate processes and increases collaboration.

Here’s Episode 24 of my podcast series taken from my LinkedIn Live Show Number 88.

Have you got any investments that you are proud of? Do you know your NASDAQ from your FTSE?

Do you need a hand?

Who knows where we should be putting our hard-earned cash?

Hopefully, my guest this week will know.

Every Tuesday at 12:30 pm BST I'll be having a chat with a LinkedIn personality to find out about them, what they do and why they love this incredible platform. All this with a song thrown in too.

This is my LinkedIn Live Show Number 88 and I am looking forward to having a natter with Matt Fowler from Peak Financial Partner where he helps owner-operated business owners live the life they want.

Would you like to live the life you want, without the fear of ever running out of money❓

Matt helps owner-operated business owners across Leicestershire to do exactly that.

Can you describe:

What you’re working so hard for?

What your life goals are?

How much money is enough?

When it comes to running a business, a Finance Director is invaluable.

However, successful people rarely commit the same level of attention and focus to their own personal finances or retirement.

Nope and neither do I so I guess we are all in for a bit of a lesson.

I’m so glad I’m not an accountant 😂

With her knowledge of the accounting and finance sectors, Kayleigh has become a well-respected thought leader in the field and regularly shares her insights and expertise through her columns and speaking engagements.
