Podcast appearances and mentions of Jo Wood

"Urgestein" ist eine überstrapazierte Zuschreibung, die schneller gezückt wird als das Lichtschwert, sobald Darth Maul den Raum betritt. Im Fall von Jan Wagner aber trifft diese Zuschreibung zu, denn er ist seit Mitte der 1990er Teil der Spielebranche. Sein Lebenslauf strotz voller bekannter Namen: Vivendi, JoWood, Ulisses, aber auch SpellForce, Jagged Alliance, Empire Earth - und Addy. Ausgerechnet Addy, die Lernsoftware, die Anfang der 2000er unzählige Kinder in Geiselhaft nahm und zum Bruchrechnen zwang, um sie anschließend mit einem zwölfsekündigen Rendervideo zu belohnen. Auch Gastgeber Dom Schott war eines dieser Kinder und holte Jan Wagner vor das Mikrofon, um eigentlich ausschließlich über Addy zu sprechen. Als er aber in der Vorbereitung feststellte, WIE umfangreich die Biographie seine Gastes ist, wurde aus dem Gespräch eine Zeitreise in eine andere Welt, als noch der Kurier die Spiele brachte und "Internet" ein Fremdwort war.

In this episode of The Bookkeepers' Podcast, titled "How to Finish Off 2024 in a Strong Position," hosts Jo Wood and Zoe Whitman dive into strategies for making the most of the final quarter of 2024. The episode begins with the hosts catching up after a summer break, reflecting on the back-to-school feeling that September brings, and how it spurs a rush to get back on track with goals. The main theme of the episode is about the importance of reflection. Jo and Zoe encourage listeners to look back at the year so far, celebrating both small and large achievements, and identifying areas that could be improved. They note how many people struggle with celebrating their wins, often focusing only on what they didn't accomplish. By taking time to acknowledge what has gone well, bookkeepers can build confidence and momentum. The conversation then shifts to balancing work and personal life, with Jo sharing her personal experience of achieving a better balance this past summer. She explains how being fully present in both work and family time helped her feel more satisfied in both areas. This leads to a discussion on how underpricing in business can lead to overwork, stress, and imbalance. They advise listeners to review their pricing strategies, as proper pricing can support not only business growth but also personal well-being. As the episode progresses, Jo and Zoe discuss what bookkeepers can do to finish the year strong. They recommend setting realistic goals for the final quarter and adjusting expectations to reduce overwhelm. Zoe shares a creative exercise from a business coach, which involved visualising future goals by focusing on key life areas like money, health, and relationships. This softer, reflective approach helps to reduce the stress of rigid goal setting and opens up a more flexible, intuitive way of planning. Finally, the hosts introduce their upcoming Sofa Sessions, scheduled for the 23rd of September, where they will be joined by special guests to discuss business growth and personal development. On the 24th of September, they will be offering one-on-one sessions to provide personalised advice for listeners' businesses. The episode wraps up with an emphasis on reflection, realistic goal setting, and the value of small, sustainable changes as listeners move into the final months of the year.

In this episode of The Bookkeepers' Podcast, we are joined by Will Farnell of Farnell Clark, and author of The Human Firm. Will talks about his journey in the accountancy industry and how his company has evolved over the years. Farnell founded his firm in 2007 with the purpose of changing the way accountancy services were delivered. He felt that clients were not receiving the support they needed. Will approached this problem by putting himself in the shoes of the client and identifying what was important to them. He realised that technology was the key to delivering better services, but over time, as technology has become widely available to all, he realises we've gone full circle and now need to focus once again on the human relationships we have with our clients. In this interview, Will openly shares the challenges he's faced at different stages of business, we discuss business growth whilst maintaining the human element our clients need, and simple ways to measure your success in becoming a human firm.
