It’s the Hard Knock Life (Podcast)

Decisions, Decisions (Podcast)

I make hundreds of decisions a day. We all do. What clothes to wear, what to eat for breakfast, what time to leave the house, what to have for lunch, whether or not to have a cup of tea, whether to attend to that email or do what you had planned. Decisions are a core part of our existence, and as entrepreneurs or managers, they are just part of the equation – we often help others make decisions too.

The Night Manager is back and it’s giving me Nightmares (Podcast)

The return of The Night Manager is being heavily trailed in the run up to Christmas here in the UK. It’s causing me nightmares. The first series was excellent. But Tom Hiddleston’s bottom was the catalyst for a fairly major series of HR issues in my business and, frankly, I’m hoping that in this series, he keeps his keks on so I can have an easier life.

10 Things to Avoid in 2026 to be less Sh*t at Business (Podcast)

It’s that time of year. Brace yourself for an onslaught of articles with 2026 predictions, new ways to set goals so you can actually achieve them this time, planning ideas (I admit, I’m a sucker for stationery to undertake this activity which I inevitably don’t use because it involves writing with a pen), and hot new takes on how you can make millions.

It’s the Hard Knock Life (Podcast)

I was obsessed with Orphan Annie when I was about 6 years old. I watched it over and over and over again on my grandparent’s Betamax video player (remember Betamax? Nope, you’re right, VHS won that branding fight). I could sing all the songs and recite the film word for word. I still can. Ask my husband.

Selling Sex: Business Lessons from the World’s Oldest Profession (Podcast)

It was 1996. I was in third year of university and living in a tenement flat in Aberdeen. I had glandular fever and was tucked up nicely in bed, shivering with fever, when I started to notice something strange. What I discovered was shocking to my 20 year old self. Years later, I realised I’d witnessed one of the most optimised small-business operations I’ve ever seen. How to be S**t at Business is a reader-supported publication.
