Hello Listeners,

This week we hear about Paul's sporting background, and how achieving in sport has helped him achieve in business.

We explore how the mentality, discipline and consistency it takes to become a great sportsman can translate into the highly desired skills needed to succeed within business.

We discuss what it means to be a team player, in sport and in business. A top down approach in leadership is also very important.

Hope you enjoy!
Happy Friday.

Good Day Listeners!

We have a deep episode for you today. 

Starting political, we get Paul's rundown of current Brexit affairs and UK Parliament. 

The bulk of the episode covers market disruption and disruptive innovation as a business concept and marketing strategy. Why Paul thinks this is such an important key to growth in business. 

If businesses do not disrupt they are more likely to fail. 

We cover industry examples of disruptive innovation, notably the automobile. We also have a great example of how a missed disruptive opportunity led to the decline of a once industry-leading company (Kodac). 

Really enjoyed this episode, and took the leap of going for it with no notes! Let the flow commence. 

To round-up at the end, hear a little about Punk History, and Paul's time turning up to punk gigs dressed as a mod. Always follow your own way, stick to your own values and don't let 'the norm' dictate your image or presence.
