My Digital Doorstep Podcast

Two years after my first interview With Pia I catch up with her during the COVID 19 Lockdown. In this interview, we discuss where she is at with her business, how she coped when lockdown became real and the preparation she has made for her business for the post lockdown world. 

Genuinely really enjoyed catching up with Pia and she packs a whole lot value into this catch-up. 

Check out Pia's company website Worst of All Design. You can also catch Pia on twitter @PiaLovesYourBiz and on IG @pialovesyourbiz

This week I sit down with Mat from Prima Fitness based in Kingston upon Thames. The biggest take away from this interview is Mat's attitude towards the lockdown, how he's coped with it and how he sees him and his business coming out the other side. This is notwithstanding his career as a very successful professional ballet dancer before his life in fitness and personal training. Although Mat's personal training studio is new and the doors to it opened only weeks before lockdown once you've listened to Mat I'm sure you will agree that the future is very bright for him and his business!

This week I sit down with Rachel Kenning the owner and founder of Top Bop, funky jazz dance classes. What I liked about talking to Rachel was that there was allot similarities between her journey and our journey with Bounceagogo. This is definitely an interesting insight into the hurdles faced when setting up and running a small business (not least dealing with COVID).

This week I sit down with Sandra Strachan (AKA Lady Wimbledon) the founder and owner of Bombshell Consulting, a digital media agency based in Wimbledon, London. 

This the second interview that I have now done with Sandra. In comparison, this is a complete contrast to that last time we spoke. During this time of lockdown, life is completely different for us all. As such, it has been great to catch up with her to see how she has been coping and getting her take on the state of digital media and how marketing may well change post covid. 

I really admired and respected Sandra before this interview and all this interview did enhance my view of her!

It was an absolute privilege to sit down with Jaco and start to get an insight into what he has achieved as a mountaineer, polar explorer as well in his corporate career. What is really clear after talking with him is that Jaco really does know how to set a goal and then go after it. You know the interview has gone well when after an hour and a half you know you have to respect your guests time and start to wind it up but you still have so much that you want to ask them. Luckily, Jaco will be back in six and then 12 months follow up.

This is the second recording that I have done with Susie. The first one we did about 9 months ago and for one reason and another we didn't ahead with this one, however, I am really glad we got one in the can again. 

Sue is the author of the So Happy In Town (S.H.I.T.) blog and the creator of the S.H.I.T. Tee campaign. This campaign, with really clever use of language, raises the mental health issue in young people as well as raising thousands of pounds for the @youngmindsuk 

Susie really has created something special in the S.H.I.T. campaign. As such I'm really happy that we finally managed to get a recording for release. With Susie, as with everyone who comes on the show, it was a privilege to talk to her and getting behind her great looking post and finding out about the person behind the content.

You can catch Susie on all the socials @sohappyintown and you can check out the blog at www.sohappyintown.com

Sophie East-Scopes first started to turn up in the Bounceagogo feeds about 12 months and I've always liked the vibe that underpinned her content so it was great to get on the show and start to find out who the person was behind the content. 

Sophie is a Virtual Assistant, and at first, I wanted to find out exactly what a virtual assistant was. It was a funny point in the interview when she describes how she had to google what a virtual assistant was. Once she realised what it actually was she realised that it was a great fit with her skill set and her Business Studies degree. Although she is a VA work, she has a focus on social media. However, it seems she can (and does) do just about anything that a small business owner is struggling to get done or fit in. 

It was great meeting Sophie and finally start to get to know the person behind the content.

In today's show, I speak to the fabulous Sarah Baker. Sarah owns social media, PR business down in Bath in the SW of Engutting land. Initially, Sarah's great content drew me in to want to find out more about her and her story. In recent years Sarah's story has been characterised with a Cancer diagnosis and her fight back to health. I don't normally put episodes out on a Tuesday but I wanted to get this one out as soon as I could. In light of how the world feels a little like it has fallen apart for many due Corona Virus Pandemic, Sarah has had to deal with her world falling apart and then putting it and her health back together again. This really us a humbling, inspiring and funny chat. What a woman. I'm sure you'll think so too. Enjoy!
