With a shared history and strong cultural ties, the opportunities for collaboration between American and British businesses cannot be overstated. But what are the differences between the two countries? What will you need to know if you're looking to set up a business in either nation? In this final episode of the season, host and international trade specialist Richard Baigent is joined by Nick Farmer, tax specialist at Menzies LLP, and Georgie Collins, Head of Irwin Mitchell's US Desk. They discuss the differences in business culture between the two countries, how to enter a foreign market strategically, and what help is available to do so.
For overseas businesses, it's clear that the UK remains an attractive proposition. Investors value its political stability, its robust legal structure, and educated talent pool. But what are the challenges when entering the British market? What should your company have in place before investing in the UK? And what help is available to ensure a smooth transaction?In our first episode, host and international trade specialist Richard Baigent is joined by our Head of International business, Bryan Bletso, and Nick Farmer, a tax expert from Menzies LLP. They discuss the unique advantages available to UK investors, the post-Brexit outlook, and the government's industrial strategy.
“Songs for Drella”, Lou Reed & John Cale's marvelous 1990 posthumous tribute to Andy Warhol, offers an intensely personal view of Warhol with songs and playing that rank among the finest in either man's career. Their first collaboration since The Velvet Underground, nearly 20 years earlier, led to both artists vowing never to work with the other again. Our album today, suggested by listener Nick Farmer, is “El-Rayo-X" (1981) by multi-instrumentalist David Lindley. We hadn't come across this album before, and we both agree it's a lot of fun - mainly reggae-influenced beat, but clearly Californian. Lindley sounds familiar, probably because of his presence on albums by so many others we love – Warren Zevon, Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt to name but a few. In the segment, Lunacy, Legends and Lies we look at how Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi only stopped setting drummer Bill Ward on fire after Bill's mum called Tony a "barmy bastard" who should "grow up", and recount how, in 1989, Slash ran naked and bleeding through a resort hotel after a hallucination. This episode has lots of stuff you may not have known before, and isn't that the fun of it?

Jake and Nick are both second years in the Full-Time MBA Class of 2023, and they have co-founded Tuckamore Development Partners, a venture focused on decarbonizing the built environment by building a network of fabrication facilities close to major North American markets to accelerate the adoption of mass timber building materials as a replacement for high-carbon concrete and steel.

In this annual episode of The SXS Guys Offroad Podcast, I reach out to people all across our industry for gift ideas for the offroad community for the 2022 Holiday Gift Guide. Typically, this is a guide that we put together ourselves and then expand upon, but I though it would be fun to get different perspectives. We have guests from racers to media personalities, vloggers to manufacturers, installers to desert pre-runners. If you need a gift idea for the offroader in your life (even if that means for yourself), this is the episode for you!

On this week's podcast, Ars Technica's Jonathan Gitlin talks with Ars Business Editor Cyrus Farivar, who is a huge fan of the show. Last year, Cyrus held a live talk with Nick Farmer, the linguist who invented the Belter language for the TV show and became intrigued.
