Today we are joined by Former BBC Presenter and Founder of 'The Brilliant Communicator' Nima Abu-Wardeh, to find out how to say what you want and be heard!

Nima teaches how to communicate efficiently, raise your profile, and be seen, and is helping those searching for work but also founders create a presence and go from chase to chosen!

On today's show we're talking to Marko, Executive Producer at Bucketsquad and a senior member of the team behind Jesser, the YouTube creator with almost 16 million subscribers. We ask how you create for that audience, how you keep them engaged, and what enterprise business can learn from that experience.

It's Halloween, but we have a treat for you! A company trying to tackle sustainability via a premium, long-lasting, module smartphone, Fairphone.

Based in the Netherlands, Fairphone's mission is to create change through their own devices. Miquel Ballester Salvà, Head of Product Management, shares how they're aiming to do that.

SigmaOS is a whole new browser experience, making it easier for you to be fast and better at what you do on the Internet. Or that's the claim by founder and CEO Mahyad Ghassemibouyaghchi. Picked byY Combinator as 'Product of the Month' are you convinced?

Also, 'Amazon for Kids' launches a conversation Gen-AI aimed at children. Excited, concerned? It's fair to say David and Amber need convincing.

Energy storage is the backbone of clean energy systems. But battery storage is complex. STABL Energy are on a mission to make access to battery storage easy for anyone, unlocking mass adoption of clean energy. Today we're exploring how with Dr Nam Troung, co-CEO and c-founder.

Also on the podcast our discussion about the new engulfing Web Summit. Here are the articles we base our discussion on, and our thinking on the wider impact of events like these:

From digital disruptors to Fortune 500 companies, over 18,000 businesses rely on PagerDuty to help them continually improve their digital operations. We ask the CEO Jenn exactly how that works, and what lessons she's picked up along the way.

Former guest Molly rejoins the show, and since she last sat down with us she's been busy. Her brand is growing rapidly, as is her team (and their dogs) without compromising the values of Flexa or their clients.

We simply ask how!

Brian Comiskey's job is to look to the future and tell the CTA membership what's hot, and what's bubbling to the surface! How that all stitches together is not an easy picture to paint; so much of what we talk about feels critical. So where should we be focusing our attention?

Industry leader Gary Shapiro drops into the show today to talk about the future of the technology industry, whether that's addressing the need for a technology emphasis in 'human security'. developing a strategy for dealing with China, or looking to countries like France for inspiration.

Last week we also released our film on the under-funding of female business. Watch here: www.nashsquared.com/techflix

Today we're talking to reformed physicist Dr Chris Ballance, CEO of Oxford Ionics. They're aiming to be the ARM of Quantum Computing. But what is Quantum Computing, and what is the relevance to those of us in the enterprise tech sector?
