.entry-img img{ display:none !important; } .single .hentry .entry-img{ display:none !important; } https://open.spotify.com/episode/3iVbLkvEWH7j8zxvRzOsK6 Rapid advances in AI are transforming how finance teams forecast cash flow, detect fraud, and automate routine reporting, raising difficult questions about what happens to traditional roles when machines can achieve in minutes what once took analysts days. At the same time, many economies are grappling with skills shortages in some areas and structural unemployment in others, especially among younger professionals trying to break into the industry. Understanding whether new technologies are eliminating jobs, reshaping them, or creating entirely new categories of work has become a strategic imperative for anyone leading—or aspiring to lead—in the finance function. Amid these shifts, Kevin Appleby is joined by Ademola Odewade, CEO of K-Dems Consulting Ltd., to examine the real impact of AI on employment in finance and whether the industry is drifting toward a full-blown jobs crisis. Drawing on Ademola's background as a former Big 4 chartered accountant and CFO, and his new book Human Led AI Powered Finance, the discussion reframes AI from a perceived threat into a powerful enabler whose effects depend on how leaders choose to design teams, workflows, and controls. Ademola introduces his ACCOUNT framework—Aim, Capability, Controls, Operating Workflows, Underlying Data, Numbers, and Trust—as a practical blueprint for adopting AI without losing the human judgment that underpins sound financial stewardship [episode302]. Rather than focusing solely on job losses, the conversation challenges finance leaders to rethink skills, data foundations, and governance so that automation handles the heavy lifting while people move into higher-value analytical, strategic, and advisory roles. About Ademola Odewade Ademola Odewade, MBA, ACA, BSc (Economics), is a finance leader, entrepreneur, author and podcast host with a background in Big Four advisory at PwC and KPMG. He is the Founder and CEO of K-Dems Consulting Ltd and CAIO at CreatrHub, where he contributes to the intersection of AI, innovation and the creator economy. He is also the host of Diary Of A CFO and The King Dems Podcast, where he explores finance, leadership, AI and business growth with global executives and thought leaders. A Chartered Accountant and MBA, Ademola's work focuses on helping finance leaders and organisations move beyond traditional reporting towards more strategic, human-led and AI-powered decision-making. He is also the author of Human-Led, AI-Powered Finance, which examines how finance professionals can combine human judgement, leadership and emerging technology to create greater business impact. Key topics covered: Ademola explains the vision behind Human Led AI Powered Finance and why finance leaders must take a proactive stance on AI rather than wait for disruption to hit their teams. The conversation tackles fears about a “jobs crisis” head-on, contrasting rising youth unemployment with the capacity of AI to automate routine work and free humans for higher-value activities. Ademola lays out his ACCOUNT framework (Aim, Capability, Controls, Operating Workflows, Underlying Data, Numbers, Trust) as a practical blueprint for implementing AI responsibly in finance. Kevin and Ademola explore how AI can enhance cash flow forecasting, anomaly detection, and decision support—while still requiring human oversight of assumptions and data quality. They discuss AI's role in strengthening fraud detection and controls, highlighting how AI can surface unusual transactions and support better segregation of duties. The episode closes with clear guidance on measuring AI success through efficiency, accuracy, risk reduction, and, crucially, the level of trust business leaders place in AI outputs over time.

How do cybercriminals convince even informed and digitally aware people to trust them? And what can businesses and individuals do before their credentials fall into the wrong hands? In this episode of The Daily Lawyer Podcast, we speak with Udit Pahwa, Chief Information Officer at Blue Star, about cybersecurity, digital fraud, password security and the growing responsibility of businesses to protect personal data. A Chartered Accountant by qualification and a technologist at heart, Udit traces his journey from finance and accounting to enterprise technology and eventually to becoming a CIO. He also explains how the role of the CIO has evolved from managing hardware and software to solving business problems, managing digital risk and working closely with legal, governance and compliance teams. The conversation takes us inside some striking real-world examples of cyber fraud. We discuss how data breaches often begin with compromised credentials, why administrative access is particularly dangerous, and how multi-factor authentication, password managers and the principle of least privilege can reduce risk. Udit also offers practical advice for small businesses, consumers and senior citizens; recounts his own experience of receiving a convincing courier scam call; and explains why taking a moment to pause and verify can prevent serious financial loss. The conversation also examines the Digital Personal Data Protection framework, the technology required to manage personal data responsibly and the questions every board should be asking about cybersecurity and digital resilience.

Ordinary residency in Ireland can have important tax consequences, particularly for people planning to leave the country after several years of Irish tax residence.In this episode, Stephanie Wickham explains how ordinary residency differs from tax residency, when it begins and ends, and why it can keep certain income and gains within the Irish tax net after departure. She also looks at Double Taxation Agreements, treaty residence, temporary non-residency rules and why advance tax planning matters before selling an asset or business.For expats, returning Irish residents, founders and investors with cross-border assets, timing can make a real difference. If you are planning to leave Ireland and expect a significant transaction after departure, it is worth reviewing your tax residency, ordinary residency, domicile and treaty position before the move or disposal takes place.About the HostStephanie Wickham is a Chartered Tax Adviser and Chartered Accountant and the founder of Expat Taxes.

Most businesses believe they have outsourced their nature risk. They have not.In this episode we look at why so much climate and nature risk sits in supply chains rather than on the balance sheet, and what that means for any organisation buying from, selling into or manufacturing in Asia.I am joined by Fran van Dijk, CEO and founder of One Stone Advisors, who has just shared a discussion paper on nature and climate risk with the accountancy profession, and Eleanor Whittle, founder of Alopias Earth, who spent a decade in UK government on international biodiversity policy including two years as a diplomat in Beijing, and now advises companies on climate and nature strategy from Taiwan. Together they write the Real World Briefing series. Charlie Luxton and I take the conversation from accounting rules to the water systems that keep global trade moving.The numbers land hard. Drought cut daily Panama Canal crossings by 36%. Low water on the Rhine pushed shipping from around 20 euros a tonne to 150. Around 41% of Asian data centres sit in areas of extremely high water stress, with another 22% in high stress zones. The Asian Development Bank puts roughly 75% of the region's GDP in sectors moderately or heavily dependent on nature, well above the global average.What comes out of it is practical. Separate your risks from your dependencies, because you can diversify a risk and you cannot diversify a dependency. Investigate your supply chain to tier four, not tier one. Build a live risk register. Ask whether you have the regional expertise and local partnerships to turn a disclosure into a credible strategy. And stop filing this under sustainability, because it belongs in business strategy.ABOUT THE GUESTSFran van Dijk, One Stone AdvisorsFran advises boards and senior leadership teams on nature, biodiversity and integrated climate and nature strategy through One Stone Advisors. She is a B Corp founder and a Public Interest Member of the Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland. Fran is also Chief Impact Officer at Subsee, an AI and ocean technology company.Fran recently wrote a paper highlighting the sustainability challenges to conventional accounting, such as its failure to record the erosion of the critical shared assets a company doesn't own, and its reliance on historical data to predict non-linear future risks. Giving examples from published data and major corporate losses at firms like PG&E and Toyota, Fran explains why the profession needs better forward-looking, climate- and nature-related risk models. She draws on the UK Government's National Security Assessment, the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries' Parasol Lost report, and documented corporate information.Fran and Will have known each other since Will moved to Edinburgh. She sat on Green Element's advisory board. She brings the ‘what is actually happening' lens, and the financial translation: unpriced insurance risk, tail risk, going concern, and the questions a CFO cannot answer from a standard risk register.Eleanor Whittle, Alopias EarthEleanor founded Alopias Earth and advises private-sector organisations on climate and nature-related risk and strategy. She spent around ten years in the UK government, including leading major international climate finance programmes and two years as a diplomat in Beijing, where she led UK-China engagement on climate and nature. Eleanor then went on to be Programme Director at global energy think tank Ember. She is based in Taiwan, giving her a working perspective on a region that many European businesses primarily experience through their supply chains and operations. She is also Chief Strategy Officer at Subsee, an AI and ocean technology company. A keen diver and freediver, her connection to the ocean is personal as well as professional.Eleanor co-authors the Real World Briefing series with Fran and wrote the Asia Pacific briefing this episode draws on. She brings the regional and regulatory picture: how nature risk shows up through water, supply chains and infrastructure; why sustainability regulation and disclosure are accelerating across Asian markets; and what this means for European companies buying from, selling into or operating in the region.Eleanor is also an Honorary Fellow of the University of East Anglia.COMPANY SNAPSHOTSOne Stone AdvisorsA specialist advisory practice working with boards and leadership teams on nature, biodiversity and integrated climate and nature strategy. Focus areas include nature-related risk in value chains, board governance and capability, and the financial framing of nature risk.

Founded by Eleanor Whittle, Alopias Earth brings international policy and regional insight to questions spanning nature-related risk, value chains, regulation and business resilience.The Real World Briefing SeriesA monthly board-level briefing series co-authored by Fran and Eleanor, making the case that nature and biodiversity are business-critical. Four briefings inform this episode:Briefing 1: Nature is Now Business-Critical. Nature moves from voluntary and reputational to material and decision-relevant. TNFD as entry point rather than destination.Briefing 2: Financing Green to Greening Finance. How the financial sector is bringing nature into the mainstream, and why diversification is not enough.Briefing 3: Asia Pacific, the Region That Changes the Equation. Nature risk as geographic and systemic rather than sector-specific.Briefing 4: Europe, a Climate Leader Losing Its Way. The fastest-warming continent, the Omnibus rollback, and cascading food system risk.THE ST ETHELBURGA'S ROUNDTABLEThis summary outlines the findings from the St Ethelburga's Roundtable, held on June 23, 2026, which addressed the gap between climate and nature insight and effective action.Chapters 01:20 Meet Fran van Dijk and Eleanor Whittle 02:23 What climate and nature risk actually means for a business 06:46 What this year's fires and heatwaves have already cost 09:29 Discounting: how accounting makes long-term damage disappear 11:13 Insurers quietly walking away from high-risk assets 15:47 The Panama Canal and the limits of abstract risk 26:34 Asia: data centres, semiconductors and water stress 31:09 Why you cannot outsource risk to a supplier 34:14 Nickel, Indonesia and the energy transition colliding with nature loss 43:12 The gap between net zero claims and verified action 52:18 Putting nature into governance and onto the board 55:27 The questions your board should be asking nowIf you want help turning this into a costed adaptation and resilience plan, that is what we do at 51toCarbonZero: https://www.51tocarbonzero.comSubscribe for more conversations that make sustainability a business decision rather than a reporting exercise.#NatureRisk #SupplyChainRisk #ClimateRisk #TNFD #SustainabilityMentioned in this episode:UPCOMING WEBINAR: The Scope 3 Blind Spot: What Your Supplier Data Isn't Telling YouScope 3 emissions are often the biggest contributor to an organisation's carbon footprint, yet many businesses are making decisions based on incomplete, outdated or estimated supplier data.

In this episode of BioTalk with Rich Bendis, Subin Baral, Partner at Ernst & Young LLP and EY-Parthenon Global Life Sciences Deals Leader, joins the conversation to discuss the changing life sciences dealmaking environment and what it means for companies, investors, and regional innovation ecosystems. Subin shares how life sciences companies are shifting from defensive portfolio management toward acquiring earlier-stage assets, technologies, and capabilities that can support long-term growth. He discusses why buyers are looking earlier in the development cycle, what makes an asset attractive in the current market, and why differentiated science, strong data, and flexible deal structures matter more than ever. The conversation also explores the current M&A environment, including EY's view that life sciences M&A activity has accelerated significantly, with stronger activity across both biopharma and MedTech. Subin touches on the broader mix of buyers entering the market, the role of mid-sized companies, and how areas such as oncology, immunology, neuroscience, cell and gene therapy, ADCs, bispecifics, AI, data, and quantum may shape future deal activity. Rich and Subin also discuss the growing role of China in global life sciences innovation, the challenges facing early-stage companies as funding remains difficult, and how startups can think about partnerships, capital access, and strategic flexibility in a more disciplined market. The episode also looks at what these trends mean for regions like the BioHealth Capital Region, including how emerging ecosystems can build visibility, strengthen networks, support differentiated technologies, and position companies for future capital, partnerships, and deal activity. Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant. Subin is a partner at Ernst & Young LLP and the EY-Parthenon Global Life Sciences Deals Leader. He has more than a decade of transaction experience, helping life sciences companies with transformational transactions. Subin has extensive global experience serving as a buy- and sell-side transaction advisor for Fortune 500 companies, including in corporate and private equity. His experience includes working with companies in the pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology subsectors. Subin focuses on acquisitions, carve-outs, spin-offs and initial public offerings and works with companies at all stages of maturity, from startups to public companies. He frequently speaks at life sciences events about sector trends and acquisitions and divestitures topics. He received his Master of Commerce from Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.

Preliminary tax in Ireland can catch expats by surprise, particularly when they file their first Irish tax return.In this solo episode, Stephanie Wickham explains who may need to pay preliminary tax, how the payment is calculated and why cash-flow planning matters. She covers the rules for chargeable persons, the different bases available for calculating preliminary tax, Revenue filing deadlines and some of the practical payment issues that arise when income or funds are coming from overseas.For expats, the wider lesson is to look at Irish tax obligations before the filing deadline is approaching. Foreign income, self-employment, overseas tax payments and the timing of a move to or from Ireland can all affect the position. A relatively small amount of planning earlier in the year can make a real difference.About the HostStephanie Wickham is a Chartered Tax Adviser and Chartered Accountant and the founder of Expat Taxes.

What does it really take for a woman to build a profitable business, create financial independence and have the freedom to make choices on her own terms?In this episode of The Glass Ceiling, Marissa Hankinson speaks with financial feminist, Fellow Chartered Accountant, consulting CFO and business adviser Shaye Thyer.Shaye is the founder of Pallas, where she helps women build profitable, sustainable businesses that support the lives they want to lead. Her goal is direct and unapologetic: to help more women build what she calls “fuck you money”, giving them greater choice, independence and financial safety.Growing up in Strathalbyn, Shaye was surrounded by small business. Her mother owned a hairdressing salon, her father built a financial advisory business and her grandfather ran the local service station.

And money is a very emotional thing.Having forged a career as a tax specialist, business owner and Chartered Accountant, Jono Bredin is the proud CEO of Enable.Me - a business whose core purpose is to change the financial lives of hardworking New Zealanders.Enable Me has been around for the last 14-15 years and is the brainchild of Hannah McQueen, an amazing human who revolutionised the way Kiwis think about their finances.

He shares how they started implementing with 15 people on their leadership team, and through EOS introducing more rigor and accountability to these roles, they now have a leadership team of 6.Not only is Jono the CEO & Integrator, he is also a customer of Enable.Me."What sticks with me, as I went through my journey, was that I thought I was good with money.

Even those people who think they are good with money, Jono included, can benefit from a layer of accountability that Enable Me provides.In his spare time, Jono is a National Rugby Referee, having also officiated Netball to the highest international level. Jono's biggest challenge is being the proud Dad of three kids 5 years old and under!

Today, Our Beloved Host, Morgan Friedman, is joined by Paul Sweeney, Founder of Pretium Solutions, Chartered Accountant, Business Growth Specialist, and host of The Business Behind Your Business. Paul shares a Client Horror Story about what happens when excitement, urgency, and trust take the place of contracts, structure, and basic business discipline. What begins as a promising opportunity quickly spirals into a company where employees have different promises, two people think they're the CEO, lawyers are brought in to clean up avoidable problems, and Paul himself goes months without getting paid.The company had a huge opportunity in front of it: investors, a product in development, plans to become a public company, and plenty of people eager to make things happen. But in the rush to move forward, basic processes were skipped. Contracts weren't signed. Promises weren't documented. Employees were hired before the product was ready. And eventually, Paul realized the company had promised far more than it could possibly afford.As the problems pile up, Paul finds himself caught in the middle of a fractured company, with disagreements over money, responsibilities, leadership, and who was actually in charge. At one point, two different people believed they were the CEO. Meanwhile, Paul was being asked to solve the company's financial problems while still waiting to be paid himself.What makes the story particularly striking is that Paul was 42 when all of this happened—and advising others on exactly these kinds of business issues. Looking back, he recognizes how a long-standing relationship, the excitement of a major opportunity, and his own transition between businesses caused him to ignore safeguards he normally would have recommended to anyone else.Morgan FriedmanPaul's WebsitePaul's LinkedInPaul's InstagramPaul's FacebookPaul's YouTube Channel

Too often, organisations react to signs of stress or slipping performance in management by rolling out the usual training. But what if the real issue lies deeper?Dan Northover, CEO at Handcrafted, joined me for a frank conversation about supporting and developing managers in a way that actually addresses what's needed on the ground. At Handcrafted, they paused before jumping to training and instead created space for managers to reflect on what their roles actually require, how they feel, and what their teams need from them. That process revealed that while staff were thriving, their managers were absorbing most of the stress - an unsustainable situation for any organisation serious about high-performing teams. We explore why collecting real feedback at every level matters and how honest conversations create the conditions for thriving, not just for the team but, critically, for those leading them. Dan is refreshingly open about his own learning curve as a leader and why vulnerability matters at the top.If you want a workplace where managers are equipped to lead and care for themselves, this episode will help you get beneath the surface, ask better questions, and build a culture that supports lasting wellbeing and genuine performance.More about DanDan Northover (a qualified Chartered Accountant of 11 years) founded Handcrafted and developed it as a part-time volunteer whilst working a senior finance role in the public sector. He's since completed an MBA, but says he's probably learned more from fostering and adopting several children, who have taught him about the immense strength people need to overcome traumatic situations in their lives.Get in touch: https://www.handcrafted.org.uk/contact/Resources & References Insight to Action Download: Rethinking Manager Development: A Human-Centred ApproachWatch this episode on YouTubeManagers… Just Managing? with Sarah Cockroft Employee Engagement Guide For Managers - It's Time for Change Rethinking Skills Gaps - It's Time for Change www.handcrafted.org.ukContact details for Lisa LinkedIn: lisapsychologyWays to work with me: itstimeforchange.co.uk/tailored-supportJoin The Leadership Lens: itstimeforchange.co.uk/lets-connectEmail me for a friendly chat: lisa@itstimeforchange.co.uk

As Chartered Accountants Ireland surpasses 40,000 members, it has today published a new position paper on the future of AI and accountancy. The largest professional body on the island of Ireland is calling on Government to invest in AI-ready infrastructure, strengthen supports for SME adoption and embed AI skills and literacy across the education system. The position paper was launched alongside Deputy Malcolm Byrne T.D., Chair of the Oireachtas Committee on Artificial Intelligence. Accountants as trusted advisors The paper argues that in an AI-driven economy, accountants will play an increasingly important role as trusted business leaders providing governance, ethical oversight and assurance. While the paper acknowledges that AI will bring change to how the profession operates, it reinforces – rather than diminishes – the role accountants play in supporting robust, accountable decision-making. The Institute also challenges the narrative that accountants are at risk of being replaced by AI, highlighting instead how the profession is evolving alongside the technology. It emphasises that accountants must take a leading role in implementing AI within finance functions, ensuring systems are deployed responsibly, controls are robust, and outputs can be trusted. Rosemary Keogh, CEO, Chartered Accountants Ireland said "There is a common belief that AI will replace accountants, but the evidence simply doesn't support that. It reflects a misunderstanding of what modern accountants actually do. AI is automating routine, rules-based work and most accountants welcome that. It frees them up to focus on higher-value roles like strategy, risk and decision making. "The AI economy will run on trust. While AI can process extraordinary volumes of data, automate complex tasks, and generate insights at unprecedented speed, trust in those outputs depends on human oversight, ethical judgement and professional accountability. As AI systems become more widely used, the need for trusted financial information will only grow – and this is where accountants add real value." Accountants are already using AI across audit, reporting and advisory services, with recent research by Chartered Accountants Worldwide pointing to strong enthusiasm across the profession. 85% of respondents indicated a willingness to use AI tools in their work, with the younger generation overwhelmingly open to using these tools at 91%. The new position paper aims to provide leadership and clarity on how accountants can use the technology responsibly and effectively. Government policy needed to support AI adoption Chartered Accountants Ireland is calling for Government to support responsible AI adoption in several ways, noting that AI matters not just for accountants, but for Ireland. The paper sets out several recommendations, including: SMEs need to be supported on their AI journey – Supports from Enterprise Ireland, Local Enterprise Offices, and others need to be more accessible, and SMEs and their workforces given the opportunity to become AI literate cost-effectively. Investment in AI-ready infrastructure – For AI to work effectively, Ireland requires an underlying infrastructure that is strong, sustainable, and resilient. From data centres to electricity generation and investments in the national grid, the rightfoundations are needed to optimise the use of AI. Leading on EU simplification and AI regulation – During its upcoming EU Presidency, Ireland has a unique opportunity to lead on the EU's digital simplification package. Ireland should focus on ensuring regulations are proportionate for businesses and promoting the development of guidance and tools that enable businesses to apply AI productively and responsibly. Embedding AI literacy in education – courses in secondary schools and in further and higher education need to be adapted so that all young people are AI literate and aware of the technology's benefits, opportunities, and dangers.

In this podcast we discuss the decision by the major retailer John Lewis to withdraw from developing thousands of residential properties. Meanwhile, as thousands of small private lands quit the buy-to-let property, private equity firms and hedge funds continue to invest billions of pounds into the housing market. Watch full video: https://youtu.be/m5Aoqr4hquU New Tax Rise For Landlords In another blow long suffering UK landlords, Chancellor Rachel Reeves has announced a new higher rate of tax surcharge on rental income profits in her budget, which will see the tax burden rise to record levels. Buy-to-let landlords will pay a tax rate two percentage points higher than the basic and higher rates of tax from April 2027. Frozen threshold bands until 2030 means most of us will pay more tax due to ‘fiscal drag'. This is in addition to the hike in the stamp duty surcharge on second property purchases to 5%, which is having a detrimental effect on property development and flipping. Watch full video here - https://youtu.be/O38dvXPp22k Although successive governments seem to be doing their best to encourage the big corporate landlords and drive small landlords out of business (Section 24, licensing, increased red tape etc), they still need the estimated 2.8 million private buy-to-let property landlords. See interview with Chartered Accountant and Tax Specialist - https://youtu.be/aMuGs_ek17s What This Means for You These tax changes could reshape property investing, retirement planning, and asset strategies. If you're a landlord, investor, or homeowner, now is the time to review your capital gains exposure, inheritance planning, and use of ISAs before the 26 November Budget drops. #johnlewisproperty #propertyinvestment #section24landlordtax #moneytips #buytoletlandlord

In this episode, Chris Volpe returned to the podcast to discuss balancing his role as CEO of a 40-person cabinetry business with deep inner and spiritual work begun at retreats since 2019. He described how the work restored his ability to feel, increased joy and presence, improved how he leads at work, and helped him process recurring layers of lessons through practices like inner child work and chakra-based meditation. At a Bali retreat in June 2024, a guided chakra meditation led him into a vivid Egypt vision involving entering a pyramid sarcophagus, "dying," and being "reborn," which continued and completed in a second meditation. He later traveled through Italy with past-life experiences, then went to Egypt and privately entered the Great Pyramid, where a sarcophagus ceremony mirrored his Bali experience. After returning, he reported losing 10 kilos, shifting priorities, and developing deeper trust and peace through surrender. About Chris: Chris Volpe is a motivated accountant and entrepreneur with experience in business administration, operational systems, business restructuring and insolvency, leadership, and strategy. He is currently based in Byron, Australia and is the chief of Fox Wardrobes.  Chris is a passionate business man focused on delivering outstanding results for all involved.

Have you ever dreamed about about launching a new venture with a business bestie, only to wonder if you could actually pull it off without losing your friendship (or your mind)? This week's episode of She's The Business Podcast is all about what really happened when two friends decided step up and create a big, bold business event in public - sharing the process with their community - mishaps and all. Today, I'm joined by Mia Fileman and Fi Johnston - the creative powerhouses behind Ripple Family Festival, Australia's fresh new “non-conferency” business event. These two are doing things very differently: they're breaking away from the same old conference model, focusing on community, creativity, and human connection, while bootstrapping it all from their own pockets… and making every part of the process public. I just had to bring them on and get the inside scoop on what it takes to launch something so ambitious, while still juggling their own businesses and keeping their friendship strong. Here's a peek at what we covered: Why did Mia and Fi feel small business owners needs something beyond the typical conference - and how did they land on throwing a festival? What's really involved in planning a major event from scratch, especially when you're funding it all yourselves? How do you pick speakers who truly add value (spoiler: it's not about big names or generic pitches)? What's the real story behind building “in public” - the wins, the awkward lessons, and why they believe it's a game-changer for honest connection? How do you make the business partnership work when your co-founder is also your friend and both of you are clear on serving your audience first? If you've ever dreamt of launching something that leaves a lasting impact - or just want a refreshingly honest look behind the scenes of a gutsy business adventure - this episode is for you. Don't miss it! About Our Guests: Fi Johnston is a small business expert with 24 years of experience advising, coaching, and consulting small brands on money and business strategy. She is the founder of Peach Business, which helps small businesses run profitable and sustainable brands.
