Peter Beckenham's YouTube video features a mastermind group discussing the core question of business: what problem do you solve and who needs it? The participants, a diverse group of coaches, consultants, and business owners, introduce themselves and their specialties, ranging from marketing and sales coaching to divorce support and neurodiversity advocacy. Beckenham encourages viewers to connect with these experts, highlighting the wealth of collective experience available. The discussion then transitions to individuals explaining the specific problems they address for their clients and the unique value they provide. Common themes emerge around building confidence, fostering trust, achieving alignment, and understanding clients' real needs. The conversation emphasizes the importance of listening, authenticity, and truly seeing and hearing individuals to effectively help them overcome their challenges. Ultimately, the video serves as an introduction to various problem-solvers and a thoughtful exploration of identifying and addressing customer needs in a meaningful way.

We were all standing up and cheering the Christchurch City Council three years ago, when it flipped the bird at the Government over housing intensification. Because there was no way we were going to agree to three, three-story houses being built on one section. But I've changed my thinking. Eventually, the city council kind-of pulled its head in. But it's still dragging the chain a bit and wants more time before agreeing to what the Government wants. But one city councillor, at least, thinks we should stop dragging the chain, that we should get with the programme and allow this intensification to happen. And I agree with him. I think he's making a very good point. Maybe it's because my stance on intensification has eased since 2022, when the council told the Government in no uncertain terms that it wasn't interested in having three, three-story houses on one section. And I think Christchurch city councillor Andrei Moore is making a very good argument in favour of greater housing density. Saying that, if we don't let it happen, more and more houses will be built in places like Rolleston and Prebbleton. Which are not in Christchurch, they're in the Selwyn District, and that will mean more and more people travelling into the city every day, using Christchurch's roading infrastructure and not paying a bean towards it. Because they don't live in Christchurch city - they live in Selwyn. And he's saying we should stop kicking the can down the road and just get on with it. Instead of spending another year resisting it, we need to accept that greater housing density is here whether we like it or not. He says: “It's high time we wake up and deal with the reality of city growth.” And I couldn't agree more. And yes, that does mean that my stance on intensification has changed, and there's nothing wrong with that. The plan originally was to let developments with three, three-storey properties to be built on one section pretty much anywhere. But it was modified a bit. Modified to restrict this level of intensification to the central city, around shopping centres and what's described as "walkable distances" from core public transport routes. Which is still pretty carte blanche when you think about shopping malls and areas on core public transport routes. As far as shopping malls go, we've got the likes of the Hub Hornby, Riccarton Mall, Bush Inn, the Tannery, Barrington Mall, Tower Junction, Eastgate Mall, Merivale Mall, Northlands Mall, Fendalton Mall, the Palms, Homebase, and the Colombo. Which means intensification getting the green light in Hornby, Riccarton, Opawa, Barrington, Linwood, Merivale all the way up to Northlands, Fendalton, Shirley, Sydenham and Beckenham. And, if that's how it has to be, then I'm with Andrei Moore and I agree with him that we need to bite the bullet and get on with it. Because A: we've got a housing affordability problem in this country, and the quarter-acre section is a thing of the past. So, if you want your kids to be able to afford to buy their own place, it's not going to be somewhere with a big backyard. So we need more apartments and townhouses - the places you get with greater housing density. And B: population growth is real. The numbers aren't massive, but they're real and expected to continue in the upwards direction. The city's population is around 396,000. Last year it was 1.2% up on the year before. Over the last five years, population growth in Christchurch has averaged 1.3% annually. Before the quakes, it was declining. There was an especially large jump in 2023, when the population in Christchurch city increased by 2.7%. And city councillors pushing back on greater housing density in Christchurch are ignoring the obvious. That, yes, backyards are great. Yes, Christchurch is supposed to be the garden city. And yes, the people against intensification are most likely to be the people who can be bothered to vote. But, if they put all that aside, they'd see that their colleague Andrei Moore is being realistic. And I agree with him that it's time for Christchurch to stop pushing back on greater housing intensification. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RockerMike and Rob Presents:Suzi RonsonSuzi Ronson (née Fussey) played a crucial behind-the-scenes role in shaping David Bowie's image during his Ziggy Stardust era. Born in England, she worked as a hairdresser in Beckenham when she first encountered Bowie and his then-wife, Angie Bowie. It was Suzi who gave Bowie the now-iconic red mullet haircut, which was inspired by a style from a Japanese fashion magazine. Impressed by her work, Bowie invited her to join his team as a personal stylist, making her the first woman to be part of his touring crew.During the early 1970s, Suzi traveled with Bowie and his band, the Spiders from Mars, styling his hair, helping with wardrobe, and supporting the overall theatrical vision of his performances. This period was one of the most visually striking and influential phases of Bowie's career.While working with Bowie, she met Mick Ronson, Bowie's lead guitarist and arranger. The two fell in love and eventually married, starting a family together. After Mick's passing in 1993, Suzi continued working in creative fields, including music production, writing, and storytelling.In recent years, she has shared her experiences from the Ziggy Stardust era through interviews and articles, giving fans a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of one of rock's most transformative periods. Her contributions to Bowie's image and legacy remain a vital part of his history.#SuziRonson #MickRonson#ZiggyStardust #DavidBowie#BowieStyle #GlamRock#SpidersFromMars #RockHistory#70sRock #HairAndFashion#MusicLegends #RockAndRollhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/Suzi-Ronson/author/B0CXJ9S28L?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=truehttps://www.instagram.com/suzironson?igsh=Y3FobWFtNml6ZDUzhttps://www.facebook.com/share/16MPXz9Wqc/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://x.com/ronsonsuzi?s=21&t=Mzw5de5zsR-SDDbhyzH0Lg#classicrock #rockhistory #70smusic #musichistory #rockandroll #rocklegends

Nick Heyward was one of our favourite cover stars when we were at Smash Hits in the ‘80s, the days when hardcore Haircut One Hundred fans turned out in Fair Isle sweaters and Sou'Westers. He now lives mostly in Florida, he's made nine solo albums – one magnificently titled Open Sesame Seed - and he's toured again with his old band after ten years' painful separation. Touring the UK in October, he couldn't be more upbeat about the road ahead – “I can do anything!” – and looks back here at the first shows he saw and played himself. Which involves … … seeing Count Basie, Ray Charles and Oscar Peterson on the same bill when he was 12. … “if you stop playing music you're like the boxer that gave up the fight”. … pop dress codes, knock-off pop merchandise and trips to Shellys Shoes. … growing up in Beckenham where Bowie was “the lighthouse beam that made being a pop star possible”. … old schoolfriends and Haircut One Hundred members Les and Graham and how “we got our friendship back”. … why seeing XTC was “like plugging into electricity”. … Buzzcocks and Boomtown Rats at the Croydon Greyhound.   … how he was saved by management. … singing Love Plus One in Salisbury Cathedral. … and the lingering thrill of his first reviews (by Graham K Smith and Adrian Thrills). Nick's tour dates here:https://nickheyward.com/Find out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

This week, we dive into the Queens Park, Cannington, Beckenham market to gauge the pressure points on the ground with Queens Park's #1 agent, Tom Miszczak. We also discuss the current market pressures compressing the price points of Perth's cheapest suburb's right up to those historically much higher, such as Queens Park.

We kick off our Ian Marter retrospective with a look at his time at Oxford University. Thanks to back issues of St. Edmund Hall Magazine, we uncover new information that places Marter at Oxford three years earlier than is widely and incorrectly reported in other published sources. From our research, we found that Marter was at St. Edmund Hall, aka Teddy Hall, from 1963-1966 and was heavily involved with drama in the college's John Oldham Society and the Oxford's drama cuppers.Before Oxford, Marter went to school at the Beckenham and Penge Grammar School in Greater London and went to Oxford on a scholarship to study English language and literature. Among other highlights, Marter directed a well received production of John Osbourne's Luther in 1964 during the Trinity Term of his freshman year at the Oxford Playhouse. He also acted in productions of Fire in Heaven, The Sport of My Mad Mother, and Anton Checkov's The Cherry Orchard. In his final year at St. Edmund Hall, Marter co-starred in Samuel Beckett's play, Waiting for Gadot and was in Richard Burton's production of Doctor Faustus, by Christopher Marlowe which was also released as a film in 1967, giving Marter his first screen credit. Marter was awarded a Class III degree from St. Edmund Hall, which may help explain why he never corrected the record about his time at Oxford.After leaving Oxford in 1966, he landed an assistant stage manager job at the Bristol Old Vic and by the following year, he was acting once again. We briefly talk about his small role in the Vincent Price horror film, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, and his reoccurring role in ITV's Crown Court where he played a police constable and then barrister, Quentin Ingrams, QC. Finally, we discuss being cast as Lt. John Andrews in "Carnival of Monsters" and how Doctor Who may have been different if he landed the role of Capt. Mike Yates a few years earlier. The opening and closing music is "Sinfonietta: IV. Allegrteto," composed by Leoš Janáček and performed by the Pro Arte Orchestra, which was the opening theme for ITV's Crown Court. We recorded this episode on 12-13 August 2024.

ALADDIN SANE – DAVID BOWIE with special guest Suzi Ronson. On 5th July 2017, The CAT Club's featured album was Bowie's 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.' Our special guest that day was the band's drummer, Woody Woodmansey. We've wanted to present the follow up record to Ziggy Stardust, the truly wonderful 'Aladdin Sane' for some time now but never seemed to get it together. Until a certain memoir was recently published . . . Suzi Fussey was working in a Beckenham hair salon in the early seventies when Mrs Jones came in for her weekly shampoo and set. After being introduced to her son David and his wife Angie, Suzi finds herself at the Bowies' bohemian apartment and is soon embroiled in their raucous world. Having crafted his iconic Ziggy Stardust hairstyle, Suzi becomes the only working woman in David's touring party and joins the Spiders from Mars as they perform around the globe. Amid the costume blunders, parties and groupies she meets her husband-to-be, Mick Ronson, and together they traverse the absurdities of life in show business, falling in with the likes of Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan and Lou Reed along the way. Dazzling and intimate, ‘Me and Mr Jones' provides not only a unique perspective on one of the most beguiling stars of our time but also a world on the cusp of cultural transformation, charting the highs and lows of life as one of the only women in the room as it happened. We were delighted that Suzi Ronson joined us to talk about her life with both David Bowie and Mick Ronson and, of course, about 'Aladdin Sane.' In the interviewer's chair for the very first time was Amanda Cook who ensured that a splendid time was by all. This event took place on 6th June 2024 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.

It's another busy show this week with three interviews despite a virtual midweek washout. We hear from bosses at both ends of the Isthmian League South East after they did battle at the weekend - Beckenham's Darren Anslow discusses their plight at the foot of the table, conceding late goals and his belief they can get out of their predicament, while Ramsgate manager Ben Smith reflects on the title race, his side coming from 2-0 down to beat Becks and his new signings. Bromley have reached the last four of the FA Trophy once again, and their manager Andy Woodman discusses that win, the push for the play-offs and how the club has progressed as he nears three years in charge. We've got all the rest of the news from across the county including the National League South relegation fight, Deal's penalty heartbreak and Matt's fence-sitting masterclass on Maidstone's promotion hopes.

Suzi Ronson was working in a hairdressers in Beckenham in 1970 when a Mrs Jones dropped in for a shampoo and set talking gaily about her son, “an artistic boy who plays guitar and piano”. The same son who'd had a hit with Space Oddity and occasionally drifted down the High Road in a dress. Within weeks she'd become the first rock stylist, transforming Bowie's hair, image and stage clothes and launching him in the direction of Ziggy Stardust and an international audience. She was a key part of his entourage that toured the UK, America and Japan and she talks about later life married to Spiders' guitarist Mick Ronson, the role he played in Bowie's success and the trials of his solo career in its aftermath. Both this podcast and her memoir (Me And Mr Jones: My Life With David Bowie and the Spiders From Mars) look at Bowie's early career from a wholly new and original angle - in fact someone should base a film on it. A few highlights ... … Haddon Hall and its exotic inhabitants. … Schwarzkopf Red Hair Dye and other trade secrets. .. how it feels to see an audience with the haircut you invented. … expeditions to Liberty's and Mr Fish with Angie Bowie.   … the Spiders' northern sensibilities adjusting to the brave new world. … how Tony Defries made Bowie mysterious and unreachable. … why Lou Reed was a revelation. … America's Southern states reacting to the 1972 tour. ... and the magnetism of Bob Dylan and why Mick Ronson ended the Rolling Thunder tour with an invoice not a wage packet. Order Suzi's book here …https://www.amazon.co.uk/Me-Mr-Jones-Suzi-Ronson/dp/057137185X Suzi's the special guest on the Lust For Life tour reading extracts from the book …https://www.lustforlifetour.com/special-guest-supportSubscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free - access to all of our content: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

A few highlights ... … Haddon Hall and its exotic inhabitants. … Schwarzkopf Red Hair Dye and other trade secrets. .. how it feels to see an audience with the haircut you invented. … expeditions to Liberty's and Mr Fish with Angie Bowie.   … the Spiders' northern sensibilities adjusting to the brave new world. … how Tony Defries made Bowie mysterious and unreachable. … why Lou Reed was a revelation. … America's Southern states reacting to the 1972 tour. ... and the magnetism of Bob Dylan and why Mick Ronson ended the Rolling Thunder tour with an invoice not a wage packet. Order Suzi's book here …https://www.amazon.co.uk/Me-Mr-Jones-Suzi-Ronson/dp/057137185X Suzi's the special guest on the Lust For Life tour reading extracts from the book …https://www.lustforlifetour.com/special-guest-supportSubscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free - access to all of our content: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Homicide Squad detectives have charged a man as a result of their investigation into an incident that occurred in Beckenham on Saturday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you found yourself questioning faith, God, the Holy Spirit and the Bible? Do you wonder where the tangible experience and truth is? From Australia, Matt Beckenham grew up a pastor's kid and went on to pastor for 20 years. At the age of 38 years old, his marriage and life fell apart and he found himself at ground zero. He experienced anxiety and panic attacks and had to learn how to present in each moment. He didn't shift overnight but experienced hour by hour revelations and changes. He started asking God real and practical questions. He wanted to get out of the theory and into the practical. He wanted to know how God brings these great truths to be powerful expressions of seeing God work in our life. You will hear about Matt's powerful transformational journey that took him into God's original design for him from the beginning: the garden of Eden. It's not about the instantaneous, it's about the journey. His book, Eden's Blueprint, is an invitation to feast on the divine revelations Father God has entrusted Matt to share. Through this interview, you will experience a powerful invitation for yourself to be drawn back to God's plan for your life.“Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” ~John 13:34“Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.” ~2 Peter 1:4Matt's website: https://www.greaterthingsinternational.com/Purchase Eden's Blueprint: https://www.amazon.com/Edens-Blueprint-Gods-Began-Design/dp/B0BHMZTQW4/ref=sr_1_1?crid=Q4VLZ1XNRFO&keywords=eden%27s+blueprint&qid=1697229107&sprefix=eden%27s+blueprint%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-1Heidi's website: https://heidimortensonlmft.com/If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

Nicholas Royle is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Sussex, England, where he has been based since 1999. He has also taught at the University of Oxford, the University of Tampere, and the University of Stirling; and has been a visiting professor at the universities of Århus, Santiago del Compostela, Turku, Manitoba, and Lille. He is a managing editor of the Oxford Literary Review and director of Quick Fictions. He has published many books, including Telepathy and Literature, E.M. Forster, Jacques Derrida, The Uncanny, Veering: A Theory of Literature, How to Read Shakespeare, and Hélène Cixous: Dreamer, Realist, Analyst, Writing, as well as the novels Quilt and An English Guide to Birdwatching, and Mother: A Memoir. In addition, he is co-author with Andrew Bennett of three books: Elizabeth Bowen and the Dissolution of the Novel, This Thing Called Literature: Reading, Thinking, Writing, and An Introduction to Literature, Criticism and Theory Sixth edition, 2023. Royle's current projects include a detective novel, a collection of essays about new approaches to narrative theory, and a collaborative work with Timothy Morton on Covid-19. His latest book, David Bowie, Enid Blyton and the Sun Machine, is due to be published in November 2023.“There's a great David Bowie song called ‘Memory of a Free Festival.' It's a song about a concert that he organized in Beckenham in August 1969, the same weekend of Woodstock. He wrote this song about that concert. And in August 1969, also, his father died just 10 days or so before the concert. And his funeral took place days before.So the song that Bowie wrote is, I think, deeply resonant of the death of his father, as well as about the concert itself. And it's an extraordinary song about the end of the 1960s as well. I think there's a sort of critical consensus that it's with this song that Bowie really started coming into his own. And the second part is just kind of chorus. ‘The Sun Machine is coming down, and we are going to have a party.' And it's kind of demonic. It's an extraordinary refrain, which really, it's hypnotic. It's mesmerizing. And I found myself trying to think about this idea of a sun machine. What is a sun machine? How might we describe a sun machine? What do we feel about the idea of a sun machine? Something affirmative but strange that is arriving, that's coming down, and that we are going to celebrate. We're going to have a party. So the sun machine in the book is in part an attempt to think about what music does to me, or what music might do to people more generally.And that's another key way, I suppose, in which I'm interested in the wordless. The power of listening. The power of music. The capacity that music has to transport and to transform, but also the power of music. And this is something that David Bowie realized very early on. I think the power of music and its links with memory. So the relationship between music and mourning, but also the way in which our memories of our lives are bound up with music and how listening to music can be like opening a portal into the past. And into particular ways of thinking about memory.”www.routledge.com/An-Introduction-to-Literature-Criticism-and-Theory/Bennett-Royle/p/book/9781032158846 https://myriadeditions.com/creator/nicholas-royle/ https://quickfiction.co.uk/www.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.org IG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast
