Podcasts about Ayton

In this edition of ScaleUp Radio Shorts, Kevin Brent and Louise Blunt reflect on two fascinating conversations with leadership expert Melissa Thornley and social entrepreneur Vicki Ayton. Although their businesses couldn't be more different, both guests arrive at remarkably similar conclusions. Sustainable growth isn't driven by working harder or adopting the latest technology. It's built by developing better leaders, creating resilient teams, maintaining genuine human connection, and focusing attention on what matters most. From emotional intelligence and feedback cultures to AI, climate resilience and practical productivity systems, this episode explores what founders should really be investing in as they scale. In this episode You'll discover: Why trying to do everything yourself is one of the biggest barriers to scaling The importance of emotional intelligence alongside artificial intelligence Why managing your attention is far more important than managing your time How resilient businesses are built through resilient people Practical ways to build accountability without creating blame Why community, collaboration and purpose create stronger organisations How technology should support human judgement rather than replace it Why writing things down can still outperform another productivity app The role of kindness and self-compassion in high-performing teams One standout message "Wherever your AI skills are, your emotional intelligence needs to be at the same level." It's a simple reminder that as technology accelerates, the businesses that thrive will still be the ones that communicate well, build trust and genuinely understand people. The one key takeaway Technology may improve efficiency, but people create sustainable growth. Invest in leadership, relationships and focus first.   About our guests Melissa Thornley is a leadership and emotional intelligence consultant who helps organisations develop resilient leaders, stronger communication and healthier workplace cultures across industries ranging from manufacturing to emergency services. Vicki Ayton is the founder of BizEd Projects, a Community Interest Company helping communities improve digital inclusion, employability, environmental resilience and local skills development.   Resources mentioned Emotional Intelligence (EI) Artificial Intelligence tools including ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini Focused Space virtual co-working Smart90 G90 Summit   Smart90 Most founders we speak to feel busy but stuck.

What happens when academic research, climate resilience, digital inclusion and community development all collide? In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, Kevin Brent is joined by Vicki Ayton, Founder of BizEd, a Community Interest Company (CIC) that exists to bridge the gap between research and real-world community impact. What started as a response to a local library closure has evolved into a growing community hub delivering digital inclusion support, climate resilience education, research projects and policy work across Shropshire and beyond. Vicki shares the realities of building a sustainable CIC, the challenges of balancing commercial income with social impact, and why digital skills are now fundamental to both business success and community resilience.   In This Episode From Research to Real Impact Vicki explains how her background in climate and environmental research highlighted a common challenge: excellent research often fails to reach the people who need it most. BizEd was created to translate knowledge into practical support for communities and businesses. A pivotal moment came when the local council approached BizEd to replace services lost when a library closed due to RAAC concrete concerns. That request became the catalyst for creating a physical community hub.   Why BizEd Chose a CIC Structure One of the most fascinating discussions centres around the decision to become a Community Interest Company rather than a charity. Vicki explains: Why financial resilience matters for community organisations How BizEd generates 60–70% of its income through trading activities The dangers of becoming overly reliant on grant funding How organisations can lose community trust when grant-funded projects disappear The CIC model provides greater flexibility to trade and generate sustainable income, helping create long-term impact rather than short-term projects.   The CIC Catch-22 The conversation highlights a significant challenge faced by many social enterprises. While CICs are encouraged to trade and become self-sustaining, they are often excluded from support programmes available only to registered charities. Examples include: Free software licences Digital infrastructure grants Technology support programmes Meanwhile, charities often have access to these benefits but face restrictions on how much income they can generate through trading activities. It's a structural challenge that many social enterprises continue to face.   Climate Resilience is a Business Issue Climate change is no longer a future concern. Vicki explains why businesses need to focus on resilience today, including: Managing disruption caused by extreme weather Protecting supply chains Supporting employee wellbeing during heatwaves Preparing for changing customer and community needs Rather than focusing solely on sustainability, businesses must also prepare for adaptation and resilience.   Digital Skills are Now Essential A major theme throughout the conversation is the importance of digital capability at every level. Vicki breaks digital skills into three areas: Foundation Skills Email Online services Digital communication Accessing information safely Workplace Skills Productivity software Collaboration tools Digital workflows Data management Advanced Skills Artificial Intelligence AI risk management Data analysis Automation opportunities She also highlights the growing overlap between green jobs and digital capability, where data and technology skills are becoming increasingly valuable.   Why Young People May Hold the AI Advantage For many small businesses, hiring experienced AI specialists isn't realistic. Vicki argues that younger people often bring natural AI fluency and experimentation skills that SMEs can benefit from immediately. For owner-managers looking to improve productivity, younger team members may already hold valuable expertise that businesses are overlooking.   Building Community Hubs That Actually Work One of BizEd's biggest lessons is that community needs rarely exist in isolation. Someone seeking digital support may also need: Benefits advice Banking assistance Employment support Access to other local services Vicki shares her vision for integrated community hubs that bring multiple services together under one roof, making support more accessible and effective.   Productivity Tools and Personal Effectiveness Despite operating in a highly digital world, Vicki's favourite productivity tool is surprisingly simple. Her trusted Busy Bee physical diary remains the cornerstone of her planning system. The discussion explores: Why writing things down improves thinking Managing the overlap between work and home life The importance of finding tools that suit your working style BizEd itself takes a tool-agnostic approach, using Trello, Notion, Planner and other platforms depending on team and client preferences. The focus is on removing barriers to collaboration rather than enforcing a single system.   The One Key Thing Building sustainable impact requires balancing purpose with commercial reality. The organisations that create lasting change are the ones that develop the resilience to generate income while staying true to their mission.   Standout Quote "Digital skills are no longer optional. They are the foundation of resilience for individuals, communities and businesses alike."   About Vicki Ayton Vicki Ayton is the Founder of BizEd, a Community Interest Company focused on climate resilience, digital inclusion, research translation and community impact. Through education, community engagement and policy work, BizEd helps bridge the gap between knowledge and practical action.   Scaling up your business isn't easy, and can be a little daunting.

The Los Angeles Lakers take a tough 131-108 loss, and Bubba Dub is breaking it all down with his unfiltered reaction. From the slow start to another rough third quarter, this game raised serious questions about effort, execution, and leadership. Bubba Dub dives into what went wrong and why the Lakers now find themselves in a dangerous position in the series. LeBron James finished with 19 points but struggled to make a major impact when the team needed it most. Deandre Ayton added 10 points and 6 rebounds, but the production from key players just wasn't enough to compete with a strong OKC performance. Meanwhile, Oklahoma City came out aggressive, with players like Luke Kennard stepping up and helping push the game out of reach. In this episode, Bubba Dub also touches on:The Lakers' third-quarter strugglesCoaching decisions and rotationsWhether this series is already out of reachThe current NBA playoff landscape, including the Knicks, Spurs, Detroit, and ClevelandIt's a mix of real basketball talk, strong opinions, and classic Bubba Dub commentary you don't want to miss.

In case anyone needed any reminding, OKC is quite good. LeBron showed up ready to compete. So did Rui. Hell, even Ayton was mostly fine in the minutes he could play because of his foul trouble. Austin, much less so. Anthony and Raj discuss the game and what they want the Lakers to get from a series they're almost certainly going to lose.

What if one decision in a sweltering Phoenix summer created a championship dynasty for a rival and a "ghost story" for the Valley? Tonight, we're opening the forensic files on the 2018 NBA Draft.

Hosts Arash Markazi and Grant Mona are joined by the full panel to break down a pivotal week in Los Angeles sports. From the Lakers' surgical start to the postseason to the Dodgers' puzzling power outage in San Francisco, we cover the highs and lows before pivoting to the gridiron with a final look at the Rams' draft strategy. Segment One: Lakers Take 2-0 Lead | Why the Thunder are Next The Los Angeles Lakers defended home court with a 101–94 victory over the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, taking a commanding 2–0 lead in the series. The Defensive Blueprint: Grant reacts to the Lakers holding Houston under 100 points in back-to-back games without Luka Dončić. Mykell notes that Marcus Smart and Deandre Ayton have transformed this team into a defensive juggernaut that thrives in the half-court. Eyes on OKC: Arash leads a discussion on the potential Round 2 matchup against the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder. While OKC swept the season series (including a 139-96 blowout on April 2nd), Timothy argues the Lakers are a different animal in the playoffs. Beating the MVP: Demetrius points out that the Lakers' size—specifically Ayton and a healthy LeBron—is the kryptonite for OKC's "positionless" small-ball lineups. If the Lakers can keep the game in the mud, they have the veteran poise to upend the top-seeded Thunder. Segment Two: Oracle Park Blues & Rams Draft Philosophy The mood shifts to the diamond, where the Los Angeles Dodgers have suddenly hit a wall against their biggest rivals. The Giants Slide: After a dominant start to the season, the Dodgers lost their second straight to the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night, falling 3–0. Arash breaks down the offensive stagnation—just one run scored in 18 innings at Oracle Park—and whether there's reason for early-season concern. Dodgers Pitching Watch: Grant highlights the silver lining: the rotation is still keeping them in games, but the bats (specifically the bottom half of the order) have gone cold at the worst time. Rams at No. 13: With the NFL Draft kicking off tonight, the panel debates the Rams' 13th overall pick. Offense is the Answer: Mykell and Demetrius argue the Rams must go offense. Whether it's Makai Lemon (WR, USC) to provide a homegrown spark for Matthew Stafford or a tackle like Spencer Fano (Utah) to protect the pocket, the consensus is that the Rams need to maximize Stafford's remaining window. The "Tyson" Factor: Timothy notes that if Jordyn Tyson (Arizona State) is available, he provides a vertical threat that this offense currently lacks, even with Davante Adams and Puka Nacua in the fold.
