This HortWeek podcast discusses new plant awards with HTA horticulture manager Pippa Greenwood, Frank P Matthews' director Steph Dunn James and Hillier production and amenity director Adam Dunnett.The National Plant Show is at Stoneleigh on 17-18 June. Grower of the Year awards are presented on 24 September with new categories "for every grower there is". Deadline is 3 July.Greenwood said awards gives UK horticulture as big a chance to trumpet itself in the same way awards do in European countries. She added that awards are more than a nice trophy and have a big effect on staff morale. Dunn James said awards are for growers of all sizes, if they have amazing varieties to show off. Greenwood said there is a new category for business turning over £2.5m, as well as new sustainability awards. Dunn James won best in show and visitor vote in 2025 for Prunus 'Japanese Lantern'. Dunnett won 2025 HTA awards for Plant Producer, Life Beyond Peat and Blooming Marvellous Employer, which led to winning International Grower of the Year at IPM Essen in January. He said the biggest win was as an internal "feelgood factor". He said he would like to see more "cut-through" from his UK customer base for award-wnning plants. They both spoke about how winning awards provoked the shedding of a tear, such was the joy they felt at the triumph.Dunn James said the award is a great showcase for wholesale buyers and gives direction about what retailers should be ordering and what customers might be looking at. Frank P Matthews is also back at Four Oaks in September, celebrating its 125th anniversary. New varieties include a NGS apple for its 100th anniversary, a winter-flowering ornamental cherry from the Japanese Lantern award-winning breeding programme, a crab apple and a pear.Dunnett said he is back at Groundsfest showcasing container and field-grown trees at the September show. Hillier won best plant at Chelsea in 2025 with Philadelphus 'Petite Perfume Pink'. Hillier was shortlisted with three plants in 2026 and Frank P Matthews with 'Japanese Lantern'. Hosted on Acast.

The 200th Business Awards Show is here, and we couldn't be prouder to bring you this special episode. Debbie Gilbert, Founder of the Best Businesswomen Awards and The Best SME Awards, talks you through how to avoid being fooled by fake awards companies. There is a proliferation of them in the market, and Debbie campaigning to keep integrity in the awards world, fights back. She warns listeners to watch out for unsolicited "winner" emails, secret judging panels, AI-generated nominations, public voting schemes and pay-to-win models. Genuine awards have named organisers, transparent judging, real entry processes and extensive press coverage. And once you've worked out the credible awards you should be applying for, we play back some of the highlights of the last five years. You'll hear inspirational winners, judges, and awards writers, talk about their experiences and tips for success.

Episode 120 - what makes you an artist? Holy heck, this is a BIG topic… we have lots to say and would love to hear what you think. Here's a quick dictionary definition: ‘Ultimately, being an artist is a personal journey and identity, defined by the act of creating and expressing, making it a fundamental way of living for many, not just a job title' Well that sounds great, but what does it even mean? Actually sooo many things spring to mind. Let's chat. Now, as always, we invite you to tell us your thoughts, there's lots more to chat about.

Which title are we most proud of? Clumsy, funny, shy, outgoing, mother, father, child or friend? Here's the big question for today though…How do you label yourself - which labels limit you, which enable you, and which labels make you glow with happiness? Do hit the subscribe button on whichever platform you listen to Artchatter on, it's easier than marking your calendar! Thank you, too, to all who listen, DM, send messages and have made the last four and a half years so much fun with #artchatterpodcastSign up to receive Karen's Studio News  https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/ and Gaynor's emails https://gaynorljart.com/pages/contactThis week's links and mentions:Photo by Angèle Kamp on UnsplashRae Melody @raemelodyart Tracey Emin Basquiat Jackson PollockVenn diagramWomen's Business Club https://womensbusiness.club/awards@karengeorgeart @gaynorljart@artchatterpodcastAbout the podcastArtchatter: Podcast of the Year Award Runner UpWomen's Business Awards 2025 https://womensbusiness.club/awards⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ and ⁠Karen George⁠ are both full time artists, living and working in South West of the UK, sharing lessons and experiences of the ups and downs of living their best artist lives.You can find more about them and their work on their websites or by following them on instagram where they share their work and practice on a regular basis. ⁠Karen George Art⁠ ⁠https://www.karengeorgeart.co.uk/⁠@karengeorgeart on instagram⁠Gaynor Leverett-Jaques⁠ ⁠https://www.gaynorljart.com/⁠@gaynorljart on instagramThanks always to our wonderful sound editor, Ben Leverett-Jaques, who also wrote and performs the opening song 'Strangler Fig'Ben's IMBD page: ⁠https://www.imdb.com/name/nm7425880/⁠ Ben's Music - Low Cinnabar: https://low-cinnabar.bandcamp.com/album/four-songs-from-the-tree

What if the way you spend money says less about your finances and more about what you actually value? NYT Bestselling author Morgan Housel reveals why smart spending is an art, not a science, and how the choices we make with money are often driven more by status than we'd like to admit. We explore the difference between chasing happiness and finding contentment, why saving is really about purchasing independence, and how asking one simple question before every purchase can change everything.Thrive Global Article: Morgan Housel on the Art of Spending MoneyAbout Our Guest:Morgan Housel is the New York Times Bestselling author of The Psychology of Money, The Art of Spending Money, and Same As Ever.

Aliter Technologies získala tento rok ocenenie Felix Business Award Ocenenie Felix Business Award v kategórii biznis príbeh zo sektora technológií si tento rok odmiesla spoločnosť Aliter Technologies a získala aj špeciálnu cenu KPMG za zodpovedné podnikanie. Aliter sa venuje informačným technológiám, cloudu, obrannému priemyslu, kyberbezpečnosti a vyvíja vlastné drony a komunikačné systémy. Riaditeľ Aliter Technologies Ján Grujbár približuje, že vývoj dronov v posledných rokoch výrazne napreduje. Keď sa vyriešia legislatívne prekážky, drony môžu doručovať aj tovar do balíkoboxov namiesto dodávok. „My používame drony na vešanie plašičov vtákov na elektrické drôty vysokého napätia. Donedávna sa to robilo ťažkou technikou, alebo vrtuľníkom. My to vieme urobiť dronom za plnej prevádzky a oveľa efektívnejšie,“ hovorí Grujbár. Drony dnes majú nenahraditeľné využitie v armáde a Ukrajincom pomohli vyrovnať na bojisku prevahu Ruska. Situácia sa však rýchlo mení. „Po tom, ako sa Rusko preklopilo na vojnovú ekonomiku, tak Ukrajinu predbehlo vo výrobe dronov. Dnes už sa situácia opäť vyrovnala.“ Digitálna doba umožnila nielen rozvoj dronov, ale aj intenzívnejšie hackerské útoky na firmy. Grujbár vysvetľuje, že hackeri dnes fungujú ako vysoko organizované a sofistikované organizácie, ktoré spolupracujú a majú svoju deľbu práce. Vo výsledku žiadajú výpalné za to, že poskytnú dešifrovací kľúč k zamknutým dátam, alebo že nebudú ďalej šíriť ukradnuté dáta. Povaha hackerských útokov sa zmenila tak, že nie je možné sa pred nimi skryť a útočníci využívajú rôzne taktiky. Môžu si vyberať obete cielene, alebo cestou širokého útoku a potom čakajú, kto sa chytí. „Dnes to už nie je o tom, či niekto bude predmetom útoku, ale kedy sa to stane,“ dodáva Grujbár. Čo sa dozviete v rozhovore? Ako veľmi sa zmenila bezpečnosť sveta za posledných desať rokov Na čo všetko sa dnes dajú využiť drony Ako sa chrániť pred hackermi vo firmách Ako funguje podnikateľské prostredie v Kanade Ako sa pracuje pre NATO See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hands up who's created a pattern to their year that's become a dull routine of “but I always do this”? When do we need just stop our old routines of turning up at the same place and hoping this time it's different? Have we created our own annual merry-go-round, showing up out of habit without purpose?  Is it time for a change where we jump off the ride and make positive changes rather than repeating the same journey again and again?Let's actually consider why we do the things we do, and do The Things because we really want to - and maybe they'll take us in the direction we want to grow. Now, as always, we invite you to tell us what your plan for your next year is, there's lots more to chat about. Thank you, too, to all who listen, DM, send messages and have made the last four years so much fun with #artchatterpodcast A big shout out to the listener who nominated @artchatterpodcast for the Women's Business Awards - we're giddy to be finalists!

Scale with purpose is a concept many leaders talk about, but few execute at the level of Brad Stevens. As Founder and CEO of Outsource Access, a virtual staffing firm that has grown to over 500 employees in just four years, Stevens has built a business that blends systems thinking with social impact—and he's just getting started. A lifelong entrepreneur, Brad Stevens has launched and scaled multiple domestic and international businesses, with distribution across 18 countries. His journey with Outsource Access began with a mission to solve a common problem facing modern businesses: how to grow efficiently without compromising on values or burning out internal teams. What started as a lean operation has quickly become one of the most recognized firms in the virtual staffing space, earning accolades from Inc. Magazine, Real Leaders, and other respected organizations. The phrase scale with purpose isn't a catchphrase—it's a discipline. It's reflected in the way Outsource Access operates, from its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to its intentional community impact in the Philippines, where its workforce is based. Under Brad's leadership, the company became the only outsourcing firm to receive the Inc. Magazine Best in Business Award for impact across industries, society, and the environment. What separates Brad's approach from others in the outsourcing world is his relentless focus on systems and leadership. While many companies struggle to delegate, automate, or operationalize their growth, Brad has designed a model that makes scaling accessible, affordable, and aligned with long-term vision. His firm not only provides virtual talent, but also supports clients in building efficient workflows, implementing tech tools, and optimizing their business operations at every level. Scale with purpose also means knowing what not to do. Brad is the creator of the podcast Automate & Delegate – What Should You NOT Be Doing, where he interviews leaders on how to eliminate the distractions that hold them back. His insights draw from years of experience building high-performance teams, often on the other side of the globe, without ever stepping foot onsite due to global restrictions. Brad's thought leadership extends beyond business strategy. He's worked directly with figures like Martin Luther King III, co-founded a software platform for membership organizations, and was selected to lead a think tank at the United Nations headquarters in New York focused on the Sustainable Development Goals. He's also a TEDx speaker with more than 230,000 views and a published course author with a global reach across Entrepreneurs' Organization. As a member and leader within both Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) and Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), Brad serves as a connector, strategist, and advisor for some of the most dynamic entrepreneurs in the world. He's helped hundreds of businesses rethink how they scale—removing bottlenecks, identifying efficiencies, and building virtual teams that deliver real results. Behind every strategy is a purpose-driven mindset. Brad lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife Cindy and their two children, balancing a global business with a deeply personal commitment to making a positive impact. In an age where growth can feel chaotic or overwhelming, the ability to scale with purpose has never been more essential. Whether it's through delegation, automation, or outsourcing, leaders who embrace this mindset are better positioned to grow sustainably, serve their customers more effectively, and build businesses that make a difference. Watch the full episode on YouTube. About Brad Stevens Brad Stevens is a global entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and the Founder and CEO of Outsource Access, a virtual staffing firm that has grown to over 500 employees in just four years.
