This week’s episode is packed with energy, optimism, and hard-hitting business insights. Fresh off Scotland’s historic qualification for the World Cup, Tom and Willie kick off with celebrations and what this means for national morale and business confidence.

From there, they dive into the Rachel Reeves Budget—is it really a budget for growth or just tax and spend? 

Impact on Scottish businesses – minimum wage hikes, tax changes, and succession challenges for family firms.

Housing emergency – why planning delays and regulation are strangling growth, and their bold call for an “Action Group” to fix it.

Energy crisis – why Scotland’s industrial future is at risk and what needs to change.

North Sea oil & windfall tax – the unintended consequences of policy decisions.

Family businesses: 84% of Scottish firms – succession tax changes could kill them.

Plus, good news stories:

JP Morgan’s £1M investment in Glasgow’s GROW programme.

Scotland’s life sciences strategy aiming for £25B growth.

Family businesses celebrated as the backbone of the economy.
