Whether you’re looking to create a company with staff and premises, or just make some additional income as a freelancer in your spare time, this is the show for you.
In each episode we’re going to dive into the nuts and bolts of a particular topic, breaking things down into bite sized and easy to understand chunks.
We’ve enlisted the help of some trusted accountants, financial advisers, marketers, authors, and fellow business owners to bring a tonne of experience and advise to the table. And pulling everything together is the host, our very own Colin Gray.
In season one, we’re going to be giving you an introduction to planning, starting, and growing your business. We’ll then take a break before moving into season two where we’ll cover one of these topics in-depth.
We’d love your feedback on the series and what you’d like to hear in the future, so please get in touch with any ideas or suggestions on Twitter @thepodcasthost.
