Being worried about finances can cause significant stress and anxiety, and can have an impact on our work, mood, relationships and wellbeing in general. Bianca is a Certified Financial Planner™ professional and the founder of The Finance PT, which brings 1-2-1 financial planning expertise, coaching and mentoring to 'the rest of us'.

She aims to show them that their money can work as hard for them as they do for it – and guide them step by step towards a level of financial wellbeing that others take for granted.The How To Be Happy At Work podcast was produced for Zeffr by Snaffle Podcasts and recorded at Runway East podcast studio in Soho in London.Zeffr helps organisations measure and prioritise employee wellbeing through the power of technology.

In the new and insightful episode of Conquer New Markets, Levent is joined by James Church, COO and co-founder of the UK's leading pitch specialist, Robot Mascot. In this episode, James talks about how to become an 'investable entrepreneur' and what it actually means. Breaking the subject step by step, the author of the Amazon bestseller takes the audience on a journey to understand the mindset of investors.  KEY TAKEAWAYS It can be quite different to pitch in a domestic market than it is to pitch in an international market. It's really important to understand your audience. Investors can have their own preferences as well. Some investors like to invest only in physical products while others may prefer to invest in services. It's really important for businesses to make sure that their ambitions are aligned with that of the investors. If you are looking to create a business with a big scale that employs 50+ people and plans to go overseas, working with investors is one of the best options for you to be able to reach the goals you've set in a reasonable time. Having a timezone-based model can create a huge difference in your business strategy. Especially if you are operating in the service industry, working with a timezone-based approach rather than a country-based one can give you so much scope. BEST MOMENTS “The main thing about pitching is to understand where your clients are pitching at for their investors. Let's take a business in UAE that could be pitching at the local market, the European market or the US market. The thing is, in terms of investors, there is a massive cultural difference to undertsand." “There is no right or wrong, it's about what makes the most strategic sense for your business.” "Going global is easier than ever - whether you are a software business or someone with a physical product. Even if you initially have a physical shopfront, you can easily create a digital one and then the whole world is your oyster."

GeekGirl sat down with Reshma Sohoni, Founding Partner at Seedcamp, an early-stage investor in tech startups, to find out more about the world of Venture Capital, finance and what it takes to be a tech investor. Reshma has always combined technology and business from university to today. Getting degrees in both Engineering and Business (UPenn M&T) meant that from an early age she was cultivating a path that would always bring business and technology together. Early on in her career during the height of the dot-com boom, Reshma worked in M&A and venture capital across B2B Software and Internet services businesses in the US and India. She had a small helping hand in building MakeMyTrip (NASDAQ) in its formative days. Following on from this, Reshma went to INSEAD and earned her MBA, fell in love with Europe and stayed on to work in Commercial and Marketing Strategy at Vodafone. Starting Seedcamp in 2007 was a once in a lifetime opportunity and one that she jumped into with a strong desire to help the European founder realize global success.
