In this week's episode we're talking about authenticity in your business

> How incongruence between how you present yourself on your website and in person can affect your sales

> How difficult it is to be vulnerable and true to your own authentic self

> Why making mistakes can make you more approachable and relatable to your clients

> Who are you anyway?

> Why we're all intrinsically biased and make snap judgments about others in 300ms (or less!)

We're back from a hiatus and with it, we're bringing you a brand new format.  In this series, we'll be focusing on what's involved in playing the game of business effectively and most importantly, how to win. Each episode will be a conversation with me alongside my co-host and producer, Shirley Herron, an experienced business owner and coach herself. 

In this week's episode:

A year ago today, my first book, "Hitting the Wall", made it to number 1 in two Amazon bestseller categories. 

I took some time earlier this week to chat over what it was like to write and launch the book with Shirley. It was quite interesting to reflect on the last year and lessons that I've learnt from writing the book in the first place, including why it took me 7 years to get it written, why having a team was crucial to the books success and what I think my next TWO book topics will be.

This is a short but fun episode - enjoy!
