The invention of the telephone back in 1876 is what led to the global obsession we now have with our phones. This week I take you on a journey from the telephones‘ first inception to the arrival of mobile phones, their evolution and the part they have played in British Youth culture in different eras and also the impact of the mobile internet, instant messaging and the arrival of the iPhone.

This week’s podcast is about the pros and cons of full time entrepreneurship. Running a business isn’t for the faint hearted but it does have it’s benefits.

Being 5 years into my journey being self employed I talk about some of my experiences and the many reasons people want to quit their 9-5 to become a business owner. Some of these are complete myths but I go through some of these reasons as well as reasons why it makes perfect sense to have a 9-5 instead.
