Thinking about going global? Learn how to expand from the US to the UK and the EU the smart way. We break down VAT, EPR, PAN-EU, cash flow, and compliance so international growth feels easy.   What if expanding your e-commerce business globally was simpler than you ever imagined? Join us as we welcome Demet Kale from Vatai, who is here to dismantle the daunting myths surrounding international expansion and VAT compliance. Together, we demystify the processes that often hold sellers back from seizing the lucrative opportunities European markets have to offer. Demet offers her expert insights into how a unified compliance solution can pave a smoother path amidst the growing competition, especially with manufacturers stepping directly into the scene.   Curious about leveraging Amazon's vast European network for your business? We discuss the hurdles and victories of selling through Amazon in Europe, emphasizing the power of Amazon's logistics and support systems. Tackling issues like multi-currency cash flow and the importance of VAT registration, we highlight how a strategic partnership can make navigating these waters much easier. Our dialogue underscores the necessity of knowledgeable partners in achieving seamless customs clearance and overcoming bureaucratic obstacles.   Beyond the realm of Amazon, we expand our horizons to explore global e-commerce strategies, including the OSS scheme for platforms like Shopify.

This is where I get to hear directly from you — our incredible listeners and members of the Grace to Grow Mentorship and Training community. I absolutely love these moments because they remind me that what we're building together goes far beyond the conversations here — it's about growth, faith, and shared purpose. We recently wrapped up the graduation of Cohorts 5 and 6 of the Grace to Grow Mentorship Programme during our LeadercastKingston event, and I continue to be so moved by the reflections shared from our community. Today's message comes from Tioney Walters, who said: “This program is such a gem and is truly what God wants you to be doing, Miss Heneka. I was literally in the audience, and tears came to my eyes. I love everyone in this program so much, even the ones I haven't met yet. I am so happy to be a part of such a movement and sisterhood. Just continue to shine, Mrs. Porter, and lead with grace.” Thank you so much, Tioney. Your words truly touched my heart. This right here is what community is all about — faith, connection, and sisterhood rooted in purpose. I'm deeply grateful for you and all the phenomenal women continuing to grow together in grace and leadership.

I’ve known Holly since the boxing gym days when she was belting pads like an absolute weapon. Now she’s the founder of Wable, a social app built for neurodivergent humans to find love, friends, work and real support. We talk couch-to-global-startup, capital raises, late nights pitching investors from the car, imposter noise, and the grit it takes to keep moving when you’re wrecked. She shares the crap bits too… the sexism, the self-worth rollercoaster, and why empathy and obsession might be a founder’s real edge. We also go there on domestic violence and how speaking up can shift shame into strength. Holly’s humble, sharp, a downright legend, and building something that actually changes lives. BIG love for this one!

Lenskart is gearing up for a nearly $1 billion IPO after closing FY25 on a strong note with ₹6,652 crore in revenue and ₹297 crore in profit. What's even more impressive is that almost 40% of that revenue now comes from its more than 600 stores outside India, rare feat for an Indian consumer brand.Unlike peers such as Zomato and Ola that stumbled in global markets, Lenskart has taken a slow-and-steady approach, leaning on selective acquisitions, smart investments, and joint ventures to expand abroad. At the heart of its success is a vertically integrated supply chain that gives the company pricing power, agility in launching new products, and the ability to deliver consistent quality no matter the geography.

I brought in Dany Elachi of the Australian-based Heads Up Alliance to learn about the recent U16 Age Gate Bill which passed in Australia. In addition to breaking down the new law, Dany shares his personal experience in (admittedly) giving his pre-teen daughter a phone too early and how correcting this mistake led to an advocacy movement across Australia. Dany breaks down the legislative battle in getting this new law passed, how the age verification will work, which platforms this applies to and much more.  Resources Mentioned in the Episode Scott Galloway Explains Why Age Gating Social Media Is Both Necessary and Doable Australia Passes Social Media Ban for Kids Under 16 Dany Elachi is a Sydney husband and father of five children, aged between 7 and 15. He is also the founder of the Heads Up Alliance, a volunteer-run, grassroots movement of Australian parents committed to delaying smartphones and social media for their children. Since its inception in 2020, the Heads Up Alliance has also been a powerful advocate for children's wellbeing. The movement has successfully advocated for policy changes that led to smartphones banned in nearly 1,000 Australian schools. More recently, the Heads Up Alliance played a pivotal role in lobbying for a world-leading national law raising the minimum age for social media to 16. The Heads Up Alliance remains committed to ending the phone-based childhood and reclaiming the play-based one for all Australian children. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scrolling2death/support

Let's get real—hiring shouldn't feel like a leap of faith. We've all been there. You've got a role to fill, and suddenly, you're staring at a pile of resumes that all look the same or scrolling through job platforms, wondering how to separate the rockstars from the rest. It feels like a gamble—like you're rolling the dice and hoping the chosen person can deliver.But what if hiring wasn't a game of chance? What if you could approach it with the same clarity and confidence you bring to other areas of your business? In this follow-up episode with my great friend and mentor, Kevin Ashcroft, CEO of WP Support Specialists and author of Outsourcing for Success, we'll answer these questions and more. If you didn't listen to the first half of this episode, “What is Global Talent and How Can You Hire Them for Your Business?” check it out.Kevin's been in the hiring trenches for over 15 years, refining a system that takes the guesswork out of finding the right talent. It's not just about skills (though those matter, of course)—it's about identifying the why behind the role, aligning it with your company's goals, and ensuring the person you bring on shares your values.Because here's the thing: hiring is one of the most critical investments you'll make as a business owner. And when you approach it strategically, the payoff isn't just a good hire—it's a stronger, more cohesive team that helps your business thrive.Kevin's Results Speak for ThemselvesFrom a single hire to a global team: Kevin scaled WP Support Specialists by outsourcing everything from admin to advanced development, proving that global talent isn't just cost-effective—it's transformative.Efficiency that pays off: His approach slashes hiring time while improving the quality of hires, giving entrepreneurs more time to focus on growth.Navigating AI-driven changes: Kevin's insights on sifting through AI-generated job applications are necessary for anyone hiring in today's tech-saturated landscape.Key Insights from the Episode:Hiring Starts with the “Why”Too many of us rush into hiring because we feel the pressure of an empty seat. Kevin's process begins with asking: Do we really need this role? If you don't know the answer, you're setting yourself up for a mismatch.Cultural Fit Is a Game-ChangerSkills can be trained, but shared values can't. Kevin's emphasis on cultural alignment as a non-negotiable for hiring resonated deeply with me. It's saved me from making some big mistakes in the past.Think Beyond BordersKevin and I geeked out about the beauty of global talent. It's not just a cost-saving move—it's about finding the right person, no matter where they're based. Forget the stereotypes; talent is talent.AI Is Changing the GamePlatforms are flooded with AI-generated responses that make sorting through candidates more challenging. Kevin shared some tricks to separate the real deal from the fluff. (Hint: Generic job posts don't cut it anymore.)Why This MattersHere's the deal—Kevin's approach isn't about quick fixes. It's about creating systems that work for your business, not just today but as you grow. I know firsthand how tempting it is to just “fill the gap,” but every hire should bring you closer to your long-term vision.This episode is for you if:You're tired of wasting time on the wrong candidates.You want to build a team that shares your values and drives results.You're ready to stop putting out fires and start hiring strategically.Whether you're just starting or scaling your team globally, Kevin's insights are a masterclass in strategic hiring.

Ukraine's president warns it could lead to "a world war." Is Volodymyr Zelensky overreacting by sounding the alarm over the deployment of North Korean soldiers to Russia? NATO believes the troops are destined for the Kursk region on the border with Ukraine, where the Kremlin's forces have struggled to push back a Ukrainian incursion. Seoul is certainly taking the threat seriously, having dispatched its defence minister to Washington amid reports of a South Korean delegation expected in Kyiv. Is this the moment where NATO lifts restrictions on the use of its weaponry by Ukraine? How far will this escalation go?And what's in it for Pyongyang's regime? In recent months, it has severed mediation channels and destroyed roads across the demilitarized zone. Those garbage-filled balloons launched towards the South may seem comical from afar, but rising tensions are no laughing matter. Does Kim Jong Un actually want war? If so, why? And is the West prepared?

Guest host David Parks joins this year's Go Global lecturer Jolene Erlacher for a conversation about missions and ministry.

This year's Forum on China-Africa Cooperation summit concluded in Beijing last week. The event has certainly ruffled some feathers in the West. How do the U.S.-led West and China see global dynamics differently? With the U.S. elections just months away, how might China-U.S. relations evolve?

Being adaptable isn't just a nice-to-have—it's essential for any entrepreneur who wants to see their business thrive for years to come. Flexibility in business helps you to navigate unexpected challenges, seize new opportunities, and pivot when necessary. My interview with Bakari Akil reminded me of just how important it is to build your business with that flexibility at the core, so that you can effectively address any changes in the market without having to reinvent your operations every single time. About Bakari AkilBakari Akil is an experienced entrepreneur and investor with a strong background in acquisitions and business development. As the Managing Director of Graves Hall Capital, Bakari has successfully led the acquisition of several companies, demonstrating a keen eye for identifying valuable opportunities. His approach to entrepreneurship is rooted in flexibility and adaptability, allowing him to navigate complex deals and build a diverse portfolio of businesses.Other than his work in acquisitions, Bakari loves sharing his knowledge and experiences in digital nomadism. He has traveled extensively while managing his ventures, proving that with the right strategy, business can be conducted from anywhere in the world. Key Insights:Diversify your investments. I've always believed in spreading your business interests across different industries. This way, if one area faces challenges, others can keep your overall business stable.teDelegate to experts. Hire experienced professionals to handle daily operations. This frees you up to focus on strategic decisions and big-picture growth instead of wasting your time on small tasks. Prioritize recurring revenue. Look for businesses with steady, recurring revenue. This ensures a reliable cash flow and helps your business stay resilient.Do your homework. Always visit and verify business operations in person before making any big decisions. This ensures you're getting exactly what you expect.Avoid depending on key individuals. Structure your business so that its success isn't tied to one person. This makes transitions smoother and reduces risk of making your operations stuck because someone isn't there. Bakari's best advice for entrepreneurs:"As an investor, it's important to be on location to see the business and evaluate it. [...] You really need to come there and make sure that the operations actually exist, that somebody's not selling you a business that actually is not there."Connect with Bakari Akil:LinkedInInstagramYouTubeFollow Beyond 8 Figures:LinkedInXWebsite
