The Rayner Foundation, a charity helping young British riders to realise their dreams of turning professional by racing abroad, is a one of the most cherished institutions in British cycle sport. Founded to honour the memory of the late Dave Rayner, a hugely gifted rider who lost his life in tragic circumstances 29 years ago, it has helped more than 80 British riders reach the sport's top tier, including six from this year's cohort.  In this new episode of the Brother UK Cycling Podcast, we report from the Foundation's gala dinner at the New Dock Hall in Leeds, gaining insights from the charity's prime movers, its star guests, and the teams and riders moving ahead with the support of the Foundation's Gateway and Springboard schemes.  Elsewhere, co-hosts Timothy John and Phil Jones, Brother UK's Managing Director, discuss the company's extended sponsorship of the OnForm Elite Development Team and the new national calendar. Expert witnesses Mark Botteley, OnForm's team manager, its rising star Amelia Staunton and her father Chris, and race organiser Chris Lawrence share their insights.  The Brother UK Cycling Podcast has been nominated in the Best Fitness, Health and Wellbeing category at the Sports Podcast Awards.

Oliver Stockwell is Britain's newest WorldTour rider and the latest young talent to graduate to the professional ranks with support from The Rayner Foundation. Like all Rayner riders, Stockwell chose to pursue his dream by racing overseas. His courage and resilience have been rewarded with a two-year contract from Team Bahrain-Victorious. Moving to Italy without a word of Italian and later spending two weeks in an Italian hospital, the preliminary phase of a six-month recovery from a broken leg that saw him race only five times in 2023, are just some of the hurdles overcome by the 22-year-old from St Albans. Resilience, the common factor in the character of all Rayner riders, is a quality he possesses in abundance.  In this detailed interview with co-host Timothy John, Stockwell describes his instant attraction to cycling as an 11-year-old discovering the velodrome in Welwyn while walking with his family. A founding education with Welwyn Wheelers and a national junior title followed before he joined British Cycling's storied Olympic Academy in 2019. The Covid pandemic reduced his tenure with the federation's flagship development programme, however. After racing just twice in 2020 and enjoying only 35 race days in 2021, he joined the Italian development team CTF Friuli in 2022 in search of further opportunities. The club became the official feeder of Bahrain-Victorious during Stockwell's two-year stint, and his results impressed the WorldTour team sufficiently to win a contract.  Stockwell discusses a range of topics, including his membership of a golden generation of young British riders now racing in the sport's top tier, a talent for cyclo-cross that saw him selected for two world championships, and the vital support of The Rayner Foundation, whose combination of financial and emotional support helped him make the transition from the Olympic Academy to CTF Friuli.  In 2018, Phil Jones, Brother UK's Managing Director and this podcast's co-host, rode the entire route of the Tour of Britain with ultra endurance cyclist James Golding to raise around £20,000 for the Foundation. The Leeds-based charity, founded in memory of the hugely gifted Dave Rayner, has helped scores of young British riders to turn professional, including Tour de France stage winners David Millar and Adam Yates.

Bjoern Koerdt is the latest rider supported by The Rayner Foundation to graduate to the UCI WorldTour. The charity, which funds young British riders to pursue their dreams of a professional career by racing abroad, is one of the most cherished in British cycle sport. In 2018, Phil Jones MBE, Brother UK's Managing Director and this podcast's co-host, rode the entire length of the Tour of Britain with endurance rider James Golding, raising around £20,000 for the foundation.  Koerdt, a 20-year-old from Leeds, will start a three-year contract with DSM-Firmenich-PostNL in January. There, he'll join Rayner alumni Oscar Onley and Sean Flynn. The Dutch squad's development team is home to Rayner riders Jacob Bush, Oliver Peace and Benjamin Peatfield. Max Poole, a former British junior champion and our guest in episode 49, is among the team's most valued riders. In this interview with co-host Timothy John, Koerdt describes the early days in his cycling career as a member of Yorkshire's White Rose Youth League, his Rayner-supported move to France with CC Étupes, the alma mater of Tour de France stage winner Adam Yates, and a relentless but rewarding finish to the season as a stagiaire with DSM-Firmenich-PostNL that included a rare outing on home roads at the Tour of Britain. From early showings in domestic races like the junior CiCLE Classic to competing in professional races in countries as far flung as Norway and Malaysia, Koerdt offers insights into the life a young rider learning his trade and determined to reach to the top. Broken bones, foreign languages, golden opportunities and the sweet taste of success are among his formative experiences.  A winter in Girona followed by a move to his new team's Keep Challenging Centre in The Netherlands will continue the international flavour of Koerdt's burgeoning career. Enjoy this interview with the latest young British rider to reach the professional ranks in an era that has witnessed a generational shift in the peloton's demographic.

DAS-Hutchinson-Brother UK's overall victory in the National Road Series and the team's domination of the Ras na mBan are just two topics discussed by co-hosts Timothy John and Phil Jones, Brother UK's Managing Director, in this packed episode. The World Championships in Zurich, an exhilarating edition of the Tour of Britain Men, and British Cycling's progress report on recommendations made by the Elite Road Racing Task Force are also analysed in detail.  Expert witnesses include Ras na mBan winner Mia Griffin, whose triumph on home roads followed her Olympic debut in Paris, and Irish U23 road champion Caoimhe O'Brien, who rolled out for her country against the world's best female riders on a rain-soaked course in Zurich.  Ian Watson, the co-manager of DAS-Hutchinson-Brother UK, and rising star Louis Sutton, whose hugely impressive debut at the Tour of Britain Men won him a combativity award and the plaudits of seasoned observers, also share insights.

Rising star Louis Sutton revealed his talent to a television audience of millions with a series of exciting performances at the recent Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain Men. The 22-year-old from St Albans played a pivotal role in the breakaways that shaped stages two and three, finding himself in wheel-to-wheel combat with Soudal Quick-Step's superstars, Remco Evenepoel and Julian Alaphilippe.  While Sutton's career has developed rapidly, he is no overnight sensation. Close observers of the sport will note his Rayner Foundation-funded pathway through AVC Aix-en-Provence: a route to the top followed by the Cofidis duo of Harrison Wood and Oliver Knight. Like his compatriots, Sutton has found the Provençal lifestyle and a blend of French and Spanish racing highly conducive to his development.  Now in his second year with the team, Sutton has continued to deliver results. After winning three times in Spain for AVC-Aix in his debut campaign, this year he added a GC victory at the Bidasoa Itzulia and a second stage win at the Volta a Castelló. He has proved himself a valuable team-mate too, playing a pivotal role for Clément Izquierdo, who next year will follow Wood and Knight to Cofidis.  Additionally, Sutton has impressed in Team GB colours, finishing second on his Nations Cup debut at the Course de la Paix and providing invaluable service to team-mate Joe Blackmore in the latter's historic victory at the Tour de l'Avenir, cycling's most prestigious U23 race. Great Britain team manager Matt Brammeier was sufficiently impressed to grant Sutton's request for a reserve slot for the Tour of Britain. The rest is history.  In this warm and candid interview with co-host Timothy John, formerly the editor of RoadCyclingUK.com and Rouleur.cc, Sutton describes his rapid ascent through the sport. A weekend mountain biker with only a handful of junior road races to his credit, his acceptance of an offer to spend a year in Spain racing for the team now known as Brocar-Rali-Alé proved life-changing. Sutton takes us inside Brammeier's mix-and-match selection for the Tour of Britain, a squad of old hands, rising stars, mountain bikers and more, and reveals the additional willingness to ‘go deep' that comes from racing against a double Olympic champion and a double world champion. From combativity awards to crashes and concussion, Sutton offers a detailed description of his first professional race: one very unlikely to be the last. Now preparing for his final engagement of the season, an assignment with Great Britain's U23 squad at the forthcoming world road race championships in Switzerland, Sutton can already reflect on a pivotal campaign. With his U23 career now nearly complete, his next goal is to join the professional ranks. Any of the heavyweight squads who competed against him at the Tour of Britain will surely require no further evidence of his abilities.

In this detailed interview with co-host Timothy John, Marc discusses this year's edition of his Sheffield Grand Prix, the wider health of the National Circuit Series and his determination to ensure that the efforts of Task Force members, including Phil Jones MBE, Brother UK's Managing Director, are not “swept under the carpet”.

The National Circuit Series is a key component of the British domestic road scene. Its impact extends beyond racing, however. As road racing's most immediate and accessible format, crits bring bike racing into town and city centres, serving a range of purposes for councils, communities, sponsors, local businesses and more.  In this new episode of the Brother UK Cycling Podcast, Marc Etches, organiser of the Sheffield Grand Prix, arguably the jewel in the crown of the National Circuit Series, offers valuable insights into the winning patterns behind his successful event. From prioritising rider safety to securing sponsors, Marc takes us inside the race.

In this engaging interview, Tiffany describes her lifelong passion for cycling, her formative experiences as a mountain biker in Stellenbosch and her determination to develop her road racing skills in Europe from the moment she finished her degree studies.  Brother UK has been at Tiffany's side for the last two seasons, as co-title sponsor of Hutchinson-Brother UK last year and now as one of three companies supporting DAS-Hutchinson-Brother UK, a UCI Continental women's team that has provided Tiffany with racing opportunities in territories as distinct as East Cleveland and Portugal, Ilkley and Luxembourg.  In this engaging interview with co-host Timothy John, Tiffany describes the value of DAS-Hutchinson-Brother UK's diverse programme and the progress she's made as a rider since joining the squad. She pays tribute to the UK's thriving domestic scene and reveals how riding alongside world-class rivals in events like the Tour of Britain Women and the Volta a Portugal Feminina has helped her to overcome “imposter syndrome”.  Sporting events do not come bigger than the Olympics, and Tiffany relives the joyful moment in which she received the email confirming her participation. She shares her thoughts on the 158km course, describes her final pre-race preparations in Tours, just south of Paris, and expresses her determination to give her best for her country, riding in the service of Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio.

A comparative latecomer to the sport, she has overcome significant hurdles, including crashes, injuries, road accidents and the ongoing challenge of balancing work and sport to compete against the very best in road, track and circuit races.  In this wide-ranging interview, Hall describes how her passion for hockey, her first sporting love, was derailed by an eating disorder. Training with the Great Britain team at Loughborough University, however, ultimately led to an academic career there and membership of the university cycling club. The rest is history.  Tenth place in the elite women's road race at the 2024 National Road Championships in Saltburn represented a significant step towards fulfilling her potential. Hall offers detailed insights into her physical and mental preparation and the tactical awareness that placed her at the sharp end as the race approached its climax.  In February, Hall won two medals at the 2024 National Track Championships in Manchester: an achievement made more impressive by the financial constraints that limited her preparation. She talks frankly about the prohibitive costs of indoor racing and the wider financial pressures faced by an elite athlete seeking to turn professional.  Her effervescent style in circuit races had earned her a reputation as a specialist in the discipline, but in this interview, Hall argues that these short, sharp, technical events simply accounted for the bulk of her early opportunities (with welcome irony, she won the opening round of the 2024 National Circuit Series in Otley two days after recording this interview).  Enjoy this revealing conversation with co-host Timothy John, in which Hall offers an inspiring insight into the drive and dedication demanded of an amateur athlete to compete against professional riders. From postponing PhD studies to balancing hospitality work with an international race programme, Hall offers an honest account of her sacrifices in pursuit of sporting success.

Lukas Nerurkar is one of a handful of young British riders who will graduate to the UCI WorldTour in 2024. The Brighton teenager is the son of the British Olympian Richard Nerurkar and spent the first seven years of his life in Ethiopia. Mount Entoto hosted his formative cycling experiences. In June, Lukas won a stage of the Baby Giro, a prestigious U23 race featuring some of the mountain passes used by the Giro d'Italia. He also won the white jersey competition at the professional Gran Camino race, an event won by two-time Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma). Trinity Racing has aided Lukas' path to the top as an under-23. The British-registered UCI Continental team offers its riders an early immersion into the lifestyle of a professional cyclist. Lukas shares a house in Girona with Trinity graduate and soon-to-be team-mate at EF Education-EasyPost, Ben Healey, the Irish champion. In a revealing interview, Lukas describes his childhood in Ethiopia, growing up in a household accustomed to elite sporting success, his journey into cycling via the Preston Park club and VC Londres, and his decision to pursue a pathway to the top from overseas, rather than from the UK's struggling domestic scene. He offers insights into the value of a cycling education delivered by former British champions Pete Kennaugh and Ian Stannard, explains how he bounced back to win at the Baby Giro a day after his race derailed on the mighty Stelvio Pass, and discusses his continued evolution as a rider. Timothy John, co-host of the Brother UK Cycling Podcast and the former editor of RoadCyclingUK.com and Rouleur.cc, leads an engaging conversation with Nerukrar, a talented and engaging young rider on the cusp of a bright future in road cycling's top tier.

Co-hosts Timothy John and Phil Jones MBE, the Managing Director of Brother UK, hear from a host of expert witnesses. Connor Swift  (INEOS Grenadiers) will start his sixth Tour of Britain on Sunday September 3. A ‘graduate' of the domestic scene, Connor has long experience of British roads. He shares insights gained from racing Britain's national tour for teams at every level of professional racing and the national team, too. Cycling is by no means immune from the depressed economic climate affecting every organisation in Britain, private or public. Race director Mick Bennett describes the various economic headwinds affecting the Tour of Britain. He explains why he and his team decided to hold this year's edition without a title sponsor. Environmental issues are another external pressure shaping the sport. The UCI is the sport's world governing body. It joined the UN Sports for Climate Action Framework three years ago. Ben Barrett, the UCI's Sustainability Consultant, describes the sport's need to change and adapt in the face of the climate emergency. Brother UK will serve the Tour of Britain as presenting partner of the Green Zones for a second successive year. Phil explains Brother's purpose in supporting the race's sustainability initiatives.

Who knows more about the Ryedale Grand Prix than 2022 winner Abi Smith (EF Education - Tibco - SVB)? Having grown up just two kilometres from historic Ampleforth Abbey, the race HQ and its start and finish location, it's fair to say that Abi has local knowledge in abundance.  Not that she needs it. With victories in the three biggest domestic races and experience as a professional in some of the most prestigious races in the women's sport - Strade Bianche, the Women's Tour and Giro Donné, to name only three - Abi is a world-class talent who still finds satisfaction in racing on home roads when the opportunity is presented.  In this revealing interview, Abi describes experiencing the Ryedale Grand Prix's ‘small' circuit as a young child, before she'd even heard of the race, practising on her bike with her brother. As the years passed and her infatuation with the sport grew, she attended the 2012 national championships on the Ryedale course and spent some of her time at the circuit gathering autographs.  Her insights into the specific demands of a race widely regarded as the hardest on the National Road Series calendar are well worth hearing. The importance of positioning, the ability to climb out of the saddle on its many testing ramps, and, as importantly, to recover from the effort in the short period before the next one are all key skills, she says.  Abi contrasts the effort with the long, seated climbs of the Giro Donné, ridden at threshold. She also compares the gruelling demands of Ryedale and the even greater challenge of the legendary Strade Bianche. She offers insights into the differing roles she adopts as a professional, riding in service of her team leaders and, effectively, as an independent rider competing on home roads. Listen now to enjoy Abi's conversation with co-host Timothy John as she prepares to return to top-tier competition following a knee injury suffered in early spring. The 2023 Ryedale Grand Prix, which she will start as defending champion, will tell us much about her recovery as she makes final preparations for the inaugural edition of the women's Tour de l'Avenir.

In this latest episode of the Brother UK Cycling Podcast, co-hosts Timothy John and Phil Jones, the Managing Director of Brother UK, are joined by rider Sian Botteley (Hutchinson - Brother UK) to consider developments ranging from Jon Dutton's appointment as the new CEO of British Cycling to the postponement of the Women's Tour.  Phil offers insights on the opportunities and responsibilities awaiting British Cycling's new leader as he takes the helm in the midst of another challenging period for the federation. Phil describes the “discovery period” Jon will undergo in his first 100 days and extends his hopes that time spent reading existing strategy documents and listening to stakeholders will be followed by execution of the actions required to “steady the ship” and reverse the decline of domestic road racing.  Sian offers a view from the saddle: the most compelling vision in cycling. She shares her experiences from the recent women's CICLE Classic, where she raced to a superb fifth place, and from the Dutch classic, Zuiderzeeronde, where a crash brought her race to an early end. Critically, Sian compares and contrasts her experiences of riding high-quality National B races and iconic National A races and by doing so offers a first-hand account of a recent, significant shift in domestic road racing. Marc Etches might accurately be described as the life and soul of domestic cycling. A commissaire, race organiser (Sheffield GP, Monsal Hill Climb) and volunteer coach, he has a 360-degree view of the domestic sport. Marc explains why he objects to criticism of the grassroots scene from high-profile athletes and offers his perspective on British Cycling as an organisation to empower volunteers. The postponement of the Women's Tour is the latest blow to fans of British cycle sport, but disappointment has been tempered by admiration for race organisers the SweetSpot Group, who explored every avenue to keep the race on the road, including crowdfunding. PR and Marketing Director Peter Hodges offers an insider's account of SweetSpot's battle to save the Women's Tour.  Other topics discussed include the courses for the 2023 National Road and Time-Trial Championships in Redcar and Cleveland, the forthcoming Lincoln Grand Prix and the rise and rise of our Hutchinson - Brother UK elite women's team.

Harrison Wood might be described as a living, breathing definition of resilience. As such, he is a defining example of the qualities inspired by The Rayner Foundation, a charity funding young British riders to race abroad. Phil Jones MBE, Brother UK's Managing Director, cycled the entire route of the Tour of Britain in 2018, one day ahead of the race, to raise funds for the foundation's excellent work.  After four years of racing in France and Belgium with highs, lows and inevitable crashes, including one this year that his memory has erased, Harrison has landed a two-year deal with Cofidis, a French team competing in professional cycling's top tier.    In January, he will roll out for the first time in the colours of his new employer at the Tour Down Under. It is a measure of the management's confidence that Harrison will debut for the team in a WorldTour race. The 40-degree heat of an Adelaide summer means this will be no gentle introduction to the intensity of racing against the world's strongest riders, but the 22-year-old footballer-turned-cyclist from Torquay would be the last to seek one. Confident, competitive and with a four-year apprenticeship served overseas, Harrison is a rider whose time has finally come. Co-host Timothy John caught up with Harrison to discuss the value of resilience, the roles played by the various development teams for which he has ridden, the differences between European racing and the British scene, and much more.

June represents peak season on the elite British road racing calendar: a fact reflected in this packed edition of the Brother UK Cycling Podcast.  Co-hosts Timothy John and Phil Jones MBE, the Managing Director of Brother UK, are joined by VeloUK editor Larry Hickmott to look back on the Women's Tour and look ahead to the Women's CiCLE Classic and National Road and Time-Trial Championships.  Further input comes from Becky Storrie (CAMS-Basso), who was crowned best British rider at the Women's Tour, from Dr Carlos Ludlow-Palafox, the CEO and founder of recycling firm Enval, from Colin Clews, the race director and founder of the CiCLE Classic, and from Mark Botteley, the manager of Team Brother UK-Orientation Marketing.  In a wide-ranging discussion, Tim, Phil and Larry reflect on the Women's Tour's closest-ever finish and the effect on the race of tactics, time bonuses and a gruelling parcours. Did the Trek-Segafredo team of winner Elisa Longo-Borghini clinch her one-second victory with dominant riding? Or were the questionable tactics of the FDJ-Nouvelle Aquitaine team a contributing factor to their leader, Grace Brown, finishing as runner-up?  Becky Storrie's emerging brilliance offers a more straightforward topic. The 23-year-old, who began her career with the Brother UK-OnForm development team, shone on the queen stage of the Women's Tour by matching the strongest riders in the world on the cruel gradients of Black Mountain. Who better to describe the demands of the race and the challenges and opportunities of progressing from the domestic scene to the Women's WorldTour than Becky?  Brother UK's sponsorship of the race's Green Zones opens another fascinating topic for discussion - recycling, sustainability and the circular economy - and how each of these aligned areas is likely to have a growing effect on professional cycling. Dr Ludlow-Palafox shares the importance of the circular economy to his company. As a recycler of flexible plastics, including the gel wrappers collected from the Brother UK-sponsored Green Zones, Enval is on the frontline of a critical debate. Phil shares reports from inside the peloton on the impact of Brexit on the movement of British riders seeking to establish careers in mainland Europe, while Larry reveals that the impacts of Covid are still felt by British teams whose rosters are being decimated by infections among their athletes. Elite British road racing, it seems, is not immune from the wider issues that shape our lives.  The Women's CiCLE Classic is a case in point: a race that almost folded when its principal backer decided to withhold further funds in a dispute with British Cycling over its policy on transgender cyclists. Crowdfunding and a new sponsor gained from the publicity generated by the stand-off saved the race, but did the threat posed to the Women's CiCLE Classic only underline the fragility of cycling's economic model? British Cycling's National Road and Time-Trial Championships offer a chance to consider Britain's strongest riders. Phil, Larry and Tim consider every angle, from the course to the contenders to disciplines ranging from circuit races to time-trials. Can Dumfries and Galloway and the championships' first foray north of the border in nearly 10 years match last year's spectacle in Lincoln? And should the federation have stuck with last year's end-of-season calendar slot?

Co-hosts Timothy John and Phil Jones, the Managing Director of Brother UK, use episode 18 of the Brother UK Cycling Podcast to look back on the recent Tour Series, look ahead to the 2022 Women's Tour, share more information on Brother UK's Green Zone sponsorship at the Women's Tour and Tour of Britain, and celebrate a second national title in three months for Brother UK - Orientation Marketing. Additionally, the episode includes clips from new interviews with Sammie Stuart (Brother UK - Cycle Team LDN) and Jo Tindley (Pro-Noctis - Rotor - Redchillli Bikes p/b Heidi Kjeldsen), in which each rider reflects on their Tour Series success: a competition in which Sammie won two rounds, and Jo led her squad to overall victory in the team competition. The pair also fought a season-long duel in the Freewheel sprints competition. The Brother UK-sponsored Women's Tour begins in Colchester on Monday June 6 and finishes in Oxford a week later. A world-class field will also contain the best British riders, including the British road race champion Pfeiffer Georgi (Team DSM) and British time-trial champion Anna Henderson (Jumbo-Visma), who began her career on a Brother UK-sponsored team. Phil and Tim discuss the race's stellar line-up and gruelling parlours. On stage four, the peloton will roll past the Brother Industries' zero carbon, zero waste to landfill recycling facility in Ruabon. Tim and Phil use this happy coincidence as a springboard to discuss Brother UK's sponsorship of the Green Zones: in-race sectors where riders can dispose of gel wrappers. Tim shares the technical process Enval, the race's recycling partner, will use to recycle the wrappers, while Phil describes Brother UK's sustainability agenda. Brother UK – Orientation Marketing is a development team, but few would guess from its recent results, including two national titles. Our hosts discuss the success of manager Mark Botteley's junior and senior women's teams and the pathway it offers to professional careers via its connection to the UCI-registered CAMS-Basso squad.

In episode 17 of the Brother UK Cycling Podcast, co-hosts Timothy John and Phil Jones, the Managing Director of Brother UK, look ahead to the 2022 season, paying particular attention to the Tour Series, the Lincoln Grand Prix and the Women's Tour.  In 2022, Brother UK will again be at the side of elite British road racing, maintaining its vital financial support in the form of sponsorships for the Brother UK-Orientation Marketing and Brother UK-LDN teams, the televised Women's Tour and Tour of Britain races, hill climb specialists Adam Kenway and Rebecca Richardson, and the Neutral Service p/b Brother UK in- race support crews. Phil and Tim dissect a thrilling return to Guisborough for Britain's best-loved crit series with a pair of enthralling races. Phil shares his insights on how the winning teams used the formation lap to their advantage, while Tim celebrates the latest generation of female crit riders and an electrifying, if short-lived, Tour Series debut for Grace Lister of Brother UK-Orientation Marketing.  The 65th edition of the Lincoln Grand Prix, arguably the only 'monument' on the domestic calendar, offers another rich subject. The presence of both Brother UK-sponsored teams and the Neutral Service p/b Brother UK in-race support crews make it a relevant topic for discussion on the Brother UK Cycling Podcast. Wider issues, however, like its fight for funding and its position at the very pinnacle of the domestic calendar, provide additional avenues for debate.  Phil lifts the lid on Brother UK's ambitious goals for sponsorship of the Green Zones at this year's Women's Tour and Tour of Britain. Next month, the Women's Tour peloton will pass the gates of Brother Industries on stage four from Wrexham to Welshpool. Our refurbishing and remanufacturing centre in Ruabon is a zero-carbon and zero-waste-to-landfill facility. Can Brother UK make the Women's Tour and Tour of Britain's Green Zones zero-waste-to-landfill facilities too?  Structural issues also feature in Tim and Phil's discussion. The pair set the encouraging emergence of high-quality National B races like the Peaks2Day and Capernwray Road Race alongside more challenging developments, notably the Women's CiCLE Classic's resort to crowdfunding to ensure this year's edition goes ahead. Phil celebrates the contributions of individuals determined to see the race survive, but warns that the sport must now rebuild if its most cherished races are to achieve long-term sustainability.  Enjoy this lively and informed discussion between Brother UK's leader and an experienced cycling journalist

This special edition of the Brother UK Cycling Podcast previews the 2021 National Hill Climb Championships. Winnats Pass, a savagely beautiful climb at the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District, will host the championships for the first time in 40 years. This year, a female athlete will be crowned national champion on its slopes for the first time. Brother UK will proudly serve #Winnats21 as an event sponsor.  This episode contains insights from eight expert witnesses, including the Brother UK-sponsored athletes Adam Kenway and Rebecca Richardson. Adam was crowned British champion in 2016 and has finished on the podium on four other occasions. Rebecca is the three-time and reigning Welsh hill climb champion. Both have won the prestigious Monsal Head hill climb.  Event organiser (and rider) Nick Latimer has worked on staging this year's championships for two years, regularly engaging with Castleton Parish Council and other authorities to secure the essential road closure. Additionally, he has secured sponsorship from Brother UK and others to help meet event costs and donate to local good causes. Mechanic Rick Bailey offers fascinating insights into the hill climb community's unique approach to cycling technology. Photographer Tony Wood speaks in glowing terms about Winnats' scenic qualities, while journalist Larry Hickmott offers his views on the value of hill climbing as domestic cycling's ‘feel good' scene. He offers a rundown of the pre-race favourites, too.  Jack Young, the newly-crowned Shropshire junior hill climb champion and a young rider with autism, celebrates hill climbing's inclusivity. And Phil Jones MBE, Brother UK's Managing Director and the podcast's co-host, offers his views on a range of topics, from Brother UK's sponsorship of the event to the congruency achieved by top-class athletes like Rebecca.  The episode is presented and produced by Timothy John, a journalist and consultant.

The Tour Series is Britain's best-loved series of city centre circuit races. Since 2009, it's granted an early opportunity to blossoming British talent. Brother UK has sponsored The Tour Series since 2014 and served as Official Print and Results Partner since 2016. We proudly sponsor the Brother Fastest Lap competition, too.  This episode is the second instalment of a two-part preview of the 2021 Tour Series. Co-hosts Timothy John and Phil Jones, the Managing Director of Brother UK, are joined by Larry Hickmott, the editor of VeloUK.net. The trio discuss key points from part one: a documentary-style examination of crit racing, also available from this platform.  Reigning British Circuit Race Champions Joey Walker and Rebecca Durrell shared insights in our investigative episode. Tim reflects on Joey's revelation that elite riders must always race on the very limit of crashing, such is the speed and intensity of top-level crit races like those featured in The Tour Series. Phil offers his first impressions of all-action crit racing (“flat out from the gun and hold on till the line”) and a more detailed analysis based on the huge “situational awareness” that a rider must have to process the position of rivals, team-mates and instructions received while passing the pits. Larry considers the star performers of the season-to-date and reflects that The Tour Series will represent a first coming together. He identifies Lucy Lee and Dani Shrosbree of Team Brother UK-LDN, Team Breeze and the Brother UK-sponsored Crimson Performance men's squad among those to watch when The Tour Series begins.  A condensed, week-long campaign represents The Tour Series' return from its Covid-enforced absence last year. Councils have traditionally invested in hosting rounds. Many now face budget shortfalls, following austerity and a public health crisis. Phil argues that the need to reinvigorate town centres offers race organisers a new selling point.  Larry reports on the huge crowds who attended the recent National Circuit Series events in Otley and Ilkley. He reflects on public desire for enjoyment and events after a series of lockdowns. Covid, he concedes, continues to present elite cycle sport with an uncertain future, in the short-term at least.  Tim argues that this September's Tour of Britain will represent a valuable barometer of public opinion. Britain's national tour has its “grand départ” on the Cornish riviera in September. The willingness or otherwise of crowds to gather in towns like Penzance to greet the race will be revealing, Tim maintains. The trio considers the roster of top performers who have established reputations at The Tour Series. Alice and Hannah Barnes, Graham Briggs, Ed Clancy, Dean Downing, Grace and Lucy Garner, Anna Henderson and Tom Pidcock are just some who used its town centre circuit races as a springboard to stardom.  Listen now to enjoy insights from Tim, Larry and Phil and whet your appetite for the return of The Tour Series.

The eleventh edition of the Brother UK Cycling Podcast celebrates the return to national road racing after an absence of more than a year with the 2021 Women's CiCLE Classic. Brother UK will have an unmissable presence at this superb race with three sponsored teams in the peloton and the Neutral Service p/b Brother UK in-race support crews in the race convoy.    Co-hosts Timothy John and Phil Jones, the Managing Director of Brother UK, share their experiences, insights and excitement as a journalist and sponsor respectively. Both have had the privilege of riding shotgun in a Neutral Service p/b Brother UK support vehicle, and both pay handsome tribute to the volunteer crews facing their busiest weekend of the year.    Colin Clews, the founder and race director of the CiCLE Classic in all its forms (men's, women's and juniors), offers a fascinating view from inside the race: its foundation, its budget, its benefactor, and a route that beguiles as many as it exhausts. He reveals a unique feature of this year's parcours: a route through Owston that no previous edition of the race has followed.    Sian Botteley of Team Brother UK-OnForm offers a view from behind the handlebars. Despite finishing in the top 10 of the 2017 edition of the Women's CiCLE Classic, her unique perspective comes from local knowledge rather than experience of the race: its celebrated country lanes are her home training roads. Sian talks adrenaline, concentration, endurance and excitement in her illuminating contribution to this episode.   Tony Barry is the manager of the Neutral Service p/b Brother UK in-race support crews. Formerly a rider, Team GB road manager and board member at British Cycling, there's little about elite bike racing that Tony doesn't know. He offers facts, figures, insights, memories and more from his service at previous editions of the CiCLE Classic.    Larry Hickmott is officially the founder and editor of VeloUK.net and, unofficially, the hardest working man in cycling. Despite covering countless editions of the men's CiCLE Classic, 2021 will see his first visit to the women's race. He talks course recces and the advantage of local knowledge, while revealing the best viewpoints from which to capture memorable images of Britain's most photogenic bike race.    Enjoy this latest episode of the Brother UK Cycling Podcast, and catch up with our earlier editions on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify.

Rebecca Richardson is the special guest in this tenth edition of the Brother UK Cycling Podcast. Rebecca's hill climb prowess has made her a familiar face to Brother Cycling's followers (she's the reigning Welsh hill climb champion, after all). Now, she's added another string to her bow: setting endurance records. Rebecca joins co-hosts Timothy John and Phil Jones, the Managing Director of Brother UK, to discuss her new women's record for the Brecon Beacons Circuit: a gruelling, 104-mile loop with 6,500ft of climbing. Rebecca completed the course – which includes an ascent of Black Mountain – at an average speed of 20.7mph. Rebecca reveals the genesis of her attempt: a quest for renewed motivation in the depths of lockdown. She describes her preparation, equipment choices, nutrition strategy and liaisons with the Road Records Association: an institution whose history can be traced to its foundation in 1888. Revealingly, she describes her fears and satisfaction, too.  Phil shares his emotional response to the demands of his #TOB1DA challenge: a feat that saw him ride the entire course of the 2018 Tour of Britain, one day ahead of the race. He gets geeky with Rebecca, too, quizzing her on data and equipment in a “techy time out”. Tim offers insights into drivetrain friction from his work with one of the leading lubricant brands and, with Rebecca, explores the importance of adventure, the challenges of pacing and the similarities between cycling's hill climb and endurance communities. He even shares his difficulty in pronouncing the name of Welsh village, Bwlch! Listen now to enjoy a lively conversation that covers a range of topics, from the technical requirements of Rebecca's record-setting ride to its emotional demands. From aerodynamics to pre-ride anxiety, gear selection to roadside support, this episode explores every aspect of a gruelling cycling challenge that demanded speed and endurance.

E-racing has become cycling's most popular discipline since the introduction of Covid-mandated lockdowns. Cyclists using so-called ‘smart' trainers compete online in digital worlds. Watts transmitted from real-world riders power avatars around virtual courses. Exhausting races force indoor cyclists to ‘go deep' for success. E-cycling is fundamentally an athletic endeavour and, therefore, the most credible e-sport. E-racing has filled the competitive void created by race cancellations. Professional cyclists have embraced platforms like Zwift and RGT Cycling. Further, race organisers have reimagined real-world events as digital competitions. The Virtual Tour de France is the biggest to date. The Skoda V Women's Tour represents a further, significant example. This episode features expert witnesses from professional cycling's new frontier. Riders, race organisers, technical partners and major sponsors offer insights. E-racing represents more than a digital fix to Covid-mandated cancellations. It has potential to address the sport's endemic commercial weaknesses. We explore online racing's full significance with commentary from five informed observers. Phil Jones MBE is the Managing Director of Brother UK. He has made the company British road racing's leading sponsor. His passion for the sport is balanced by commercial expertise. Return on investment is an essential requirement of Brother's sponsorships. Phil's observations on e-racing's vast commercial potential offer real insight. Peter Hodges is the Sweetspot Group's PR and Communications Director. He was one of four people there who worked throughout lockdown. Their efforts delivered the Skoda V Women's Tour. Peter shares experiences from building a world-class e-race from scratch. His insights include observations on e-racing's more youthful demographic. Leah Dixon triumphed in the inaugural Skoda V Women's Tour. Her Virtual Tour de France debut was highly successful, too. Leah and her Tibco-Silicon Valley Bank squad dominated the race. She reveals the critical role e-racing played in her development, and she describes the genuine emotions that accompany virtual victories. Chris Snook is Senior PR Manager for market leader Zwift. The game-changing e-racing platform powered the Virtual Tour de France. Chris reveals the demands of rendering cycling's biggest event digitally. New ‘worlds' created for the race included a virtual Champs-Élysées. Chris, a former racer, also reflects on e-racing's commercial potential. Anna Henderson is the British U23 road and time-trial champion. She is a professional cyclist who races for Team Sunweb. Anna's performance in the Virtual Tour de France was impressive.

Hill climbing is arguably the hardest discipline in cycling - an event in which the riders literally race to collapse. It is a brutal and compelling spectacle for the thousands of spectators who line the hill at events like Monsal Head, but the inner battle waged by the competitors is equally demanding. In this fourth episode of the Brother UK Cycling Podcast, co-hosts Timothy John and Phil Jones, the Managing Director of Brother UK, sit down with two of Britain's most successful hill climbers: Adam Kenway (Vitus Pro Cycling Team, p/b Brother UK) and Rebecca Richardson (Team Brother UK-OnForm).  Adam is a former British hill climb champion and twice a winner at Monsal Head - arguably the discipline's most prestigious event. Rebecca is the Welsh hill climb champion, the reigning women's champion at Monsal Head and a podium finisher at last year's British championships.  Equipment, tactics, pacing strategy and the willingness to 'go deep' in pursuit of success, even if it means engaging inner demons, are among the topics covered in this fascinating conversation with two riders who have mastered a discipline that is outwardly simple and inwardly complex.  Please note, this episode was recorded before UK Government measures to enforce social distancing.

Dean is the former British circuit race and madison champion and is now among the sport's most sought-after coaches. In part one, Dean talks about the early phases of his career.

The Real Estate Hotline Lisa B From The Real Estate Hotline - Interview with Dr Geraldine Teggelove - Live Radio Show -  Uploaded to Let’s talk about real estate with Lisa B - itunes podcast. Hello everyone and welcome to Geraldine Teggelove live, yes I am Geraldine and I am so looking forward to sharing some more fabulous information and hints and tips and anything else that may help you to become a published author and enjoy the process.   Yes.. Over the last few weeks I've been chatting with some wonderful and highly successful authors I might say, and asking them to share with us all their secrets around writing and publishing.   Believe me, if you haven’t had a chance to listen to the previous shows in this series called publishing 101 and you're thinking about writing a book, then may I urge you to do so.  Because if you want to step out with your published book in hand, the information that you get from these gorgeous ladies, is just amazing. So woohoo.   Just imagine how you will feel when your book becomes a reality.    Now obviously there are ways of doing this that will be perfect for you.  Often though it's figuring out what this perfect way looks like and it's by listening to others that we can actually make informed choices and decisions and the authors that I’m chatting with during this series are sharing the most fantastic information, believe me.  And being totally open and honest and sharing with us what worked and what didn't and to me it only makes sense that if we are going to go to all the effort of writing and publishing our unique book, then we need to gather as much of this information as we possibly can before we start the process.   So everyone…. I'm so excited because my guest today is the highly successful author Lisa B, now let me tell you a little bit about this wonderful lady.   Lisa is a coach on demand, she's a speaker, trainer and serial entrepreneur who has owned numerous businesses since 1995. Lisa is also a mum so she knows and understands the pressure that today's world places on women,and their relationships both at work and in their day to day lives.  Now Lisa's had a varied career combining her two passions.   Yes two.  One is her long career in real estate and the other is her passion that she studied simultaneously and lived through, which is the topic of masculine and feminine energy - which is really big in today's world.  She’s written a number of books and has created online products, so might I suggest that we are in for a fabulous show today.   So without further ado as they say.. Welcome Lisa! Thank you very much, I'm so happy to be here.  This is a topic I love speaking about - books and products and business - so... thank you so much for having me. Oh it is my pleasure Lisa and you are sitting in sunny Brisbane, is that right? On the Gold Coast and it is sunny -  it's 13 degrees - we're not used to that here - I'm cold! My goodness Lisa I feel so sorry for you when we’re sitting in 6 degrees here. Oh I know..  2 days ago it was 20 something,  so it's a shock to our system - but we only get the cold weather for about 6 weeks or so, we are very lucky. That's great yes, well we'll just kind of suffer on.  Look it’s where we choose to live so we have to put up with the consequences don't we. Exactly. We have got so many things to talk to you about today and I hope you're ready for it and you've had your Weet-Bix for breakfast. I have so many questions for you. I hope you don't mind. No, no I'm ready!   Like you said I really want to share what has really worked for me but also what hasn't, because I did so much research before I published my books and so many things were conflicting and sometimes you really don't know what the right thing is to do.  So I really want to share my experiences both good and also what I learnt. That is just fantastic.  That Lisa, is exactly what I want to hear because yes what might be right for some, may not be right for others.  But I know today you are going to get the most amazing gems from Lisa that you can take with you.  When you're contemplating all this, you can make informed decisions. So Lisa could you start by sharing with our listeners some of the books that you've published, a little bit about those, so that we can get an idea of where you're coming from please. Sure, for  sure.  The first book that I was in was a compilation book.  My background is real estate.   So that was a compilation book that somebody else put together that I was invited to join, so that was with other successful real estate agents. That was a really good base and it gave me a good understanding of what being an author was like - also just seeing your name on the front cover of a book was such a great feeling.  Like..  I've finally got a book!    So that was called Real Estate Millionaire and I thought once I did that,  I really want a book in my own name now.   I actually wrote a book 10 years prior and that was about masculine and feminine energy and that's called Banish the Bitch and Bring out the Babe. I love the title Lisa - It says it all. Thank you.  It does!  It does!  I was very fortunate to have a lot to do with Tony Robbins and I joined his Platinum Partners program which was a very intimate program of only 50 people and we travelled the world with him for a year.  I think I spent 145 days of the year travelling, going to his seminars and it was amazing and that's where I was introduced to the topic of masculine and feminine energy.  It really made me question everything about ME,  because I was so business focused - I had my real estate office - I had 10 staff and I was only focused on work and nothing else - that was it and I really sort of understood how I was in my masculine energy and I couldn't switch off -  I didn't have any balance and I thought if I kept this going the way that I was,  I would end up having a heart attack.   So I really investigated that and lived through that and I wrote my book as I was making my transition if you like,  from learning about masculine energy -  to how to tap back into my feminine energy and how to have balance in my life again.   So that was something... and that's what writing a book does as well,  when you're writing down words and you think this is going to be published and other people are going to read these words - it has to be right.   You just can't make off handed statements.  You write a sentence then you say - actually is that right?   You know... it gets you to really question things and to learn so much more about yourself and other people…  and to ask questions. It really is part of the healing process isn't it? Oh it is, it is.  When I went to publish that book, I bought probably 10 books on self publishing because I thought I really want to self publish.  I really want to learn how to do this and I bought all these books and it just looked too hard.  So.. I put the book away for 10 years because it just looked too hard!   Seriously I just thought I don't even know where to go with this, I just don’t know what to do with this. It's too hard!   So I mean these days, it’s so much easier - you can upload it yourself online.  You can have ‘print on demand’ and all those sorts of things but I was overwhelmed and I think that's what help me being in the compilation book, seeing that it isn't as hard as what we can make it out to be.  That was kind of a blockage and that's something I would like to say to everyone listening…  If you have got a book, just do it.   Don't wait like I did for 10 years and put it aside... and it was only that somebody went to another Tony Robbins seminar and started talking about masculine and feminine energy and I said I actually wrote a book on that.  They said well I'd love to read it.  I said ok,  i will dig it up and I started reading it and I thought -  this is really good! I love it.   And then that inspired me to get it out there again and so you know, I'm really glad that they made those comments otherwise it would still be in the back of my computer somewhere. And probably the great part about it a topic like that is Lisa -  is that truth is truth - it doesn't matter what time we live in,  there is still that masculine and feminine energy. Absolutely, absolutely and as I said,  I was so focused and so ‘in my head’ about everything that I didn't let anyone in at all about anything.. It was awful and so yes it was really understanding  the balance and to understand that I can switch off, and you know,  be present where I am.. So that was a really an amazing realisation for me and I went to get books on the subject and I couldn't find anything that would help me.  That's why I knew I had to write my book, because there was nothing out there for me that would teach me what I needed to know - so that was my biggest drive,   to teach other women about this and get my message out there. Fantastic Lisa and that book went really well didn't it. Oh yes, yes fantastic!   Better than I thought and I can go into that more a little bit later if you like. Yes I'd love that. It went better than I thought and I probably should have done other things with it which I can go into later. The next book that I did was a book for my son actually, and that was a book where my mother actually wrote the book - (his grandmother)  so I did a book for them together.    I’ll let you in on a little secret,  Lisa is absolutely brilliant at marketing and shortly we will have a discussion around Lisa's way of publishing and I'm sure what she’ll share will be absolutely helpful and wonderful for you. I'm sure you can already tell that Lisa certainly has the experience and the know how to help you overcome any obstacles that you might have standing between you and writing your own book.   Lisa I'd love to hear about how you wrote a book with your son and then you had another book I think didn't you? Yes yes Let's hear about those My mother wrote a book for my nieces and nephews about 25 years ago and when she died about 12 years ago, on her deathbed I promised her that I would publish her book for her.  Then when I published my book Banish the Bitch and Bring out the Babe, my son asked if he could write a book too.   I thought that's a great idea and I thought I've got just the right book for him, so we did my mum’s poem.  My son contributed to the pictures,  he was with me with the design process and all that sort of thing, so now he has a published book with my mum.   So now he can call himself a published author at 9 years old. Timothy John and The Big Green Dinosaur. Wow what an experience!   It's great because if he says to me, mum, I want to buy this….. I say well how many books have you sold?   Go out there and sell some books.   So I'm trying to teach him as a business as well, that he can make money whenever he wants to.  He’s got a product there, he's got a website and he can do the marketing on YouTube, he can do whatever he likes.  I've loved teaching him about business at the same time, which has been great and it’s a legacy.   He never got to meet his grandparents so that's something now that connects him with his grandmother and it makes me nearly cry every time I think about it,  but it's something lovely for them to have together. Then the next book is one that I'm just about to launch -  that's called Secret Agents and that book is about online marketing which as you said before I just love marketing and that's what I'm really really good at.  It’s something that comes naturally to me in lots of ways,  but it's something that I've also studied a lot as well.  So Secret Agents is going to be launched very soon and that particular book is going to be more a lead in to my business which is the hotline business, which is the coach on demand business.  So I coach real estate agents on demand, they can ring me or email me if they've got objections or anything like that,  in the real estate field and I help them through those objections.  So this book is more like a lead in to my other business - it's not like something I'm going to actively want to make the book a business in itself, which I can go into later -  it's not my main business - so the book leads customers to my main business. And I think that's a great way of looking at your book because you know, being able to use that book as your business card, or calling card and as lisa said… as a lead into the other part of your business - it gives you so much credibility - so that's fabulous  - but Lisa we will going to that a little later,  but before we get to your marketing which I can't wait to hear myself because when they were handing out marketing skills Lisa,  I think they missed me in the line up most definitely.   I can help you. Good!! So I'd love to hear from you though before we get to that,  a little bit about your own personal experiences in the world of publishing and what worked and what didn't, so perhaps if we start there. Sure, I don't have any sort of negative experiences with publishing, I’ve really just got learnings.  I've got things that I've thought oh wow,  I probably should have done that a little bit different but that's the way you learn.  Or listening to others who have done what you want to do.   Having a book is just such an amazing achievement and it's something that you look back and you think wow,  I've got this book and people acknowledge you for that and I think it's something that I’d love to see everybody write a book.  Everybody's got a story, whether it’s about their work, their business, their life.   I just think it's such an amazing thing to do, but I have only ever self published and that's only because... I'm probably not lazy,  I wouldn't say lazy,  but probably impatient is what I would call myself, because if you want to get your book published,  that involves….., if I was going to get a book published - I would get an agent, I would get somebody who was going to go in and fight for me to publish and all that sort of thing,  but I was too impatient because I just wanted to get it out there and I wanted to get onto the next thing.    I'm with you there Lisa, definitely with you on that one.   And the other thing is that you don't know if your book is going to be successful - you really don't and it's not until you've actually published it or you get people to read it and you get proper feedback that you think ohhhhh  this probably would have went well with the publisher -  you know they say writing a book is like a comedian who tells a joke and and has to wait two years to see if it's funny. It's like writing a book - you write a book and you've got to wait all this time to see if anybody likes it.   That's something that you don't know until you get it out there,  so probably if I wasn't so impatient, I would have loved to have got an agent for Banish The Bitch.  I would have really focused on that,  but I didn't really want to make the time to do that. I wish I could have, for people out there that have got a great book,  you know it,  you believe it,  people have read it and loved it,  it's worth taking the time to do that..  I was just too impatient to get out there. A lot really depends Lisa and I'm not sure if you think like this too Lisa, it depends on what you want for your book.  Do you want your book to be standalone and successful or do you want it to be part of a bigger picture?   And that was my next thing, with Banish I would have taken the time, if I would have been more patient, that’s something I would have done,  But for my next book Secret Agents, no.. I don't have any intention of wanting to get that with a publisher.   It’s a lead in to my business,  which is something - a business card,  it's my introduction, it’s my values, it’s my information that when real estate agents read it, they're going to want to know more.  And then I've got my online course, I've got my coaching and all of those other things that I've got and can provide and help them with.   That is my lead in,  so it's really two types of books and two different things - it's completely different. Yes understand completely -  and so I guess you followed your own rules and all that sort of thing as you went through it. Yes and all my marketing all that sort of thing, and some of the things that didn't work for me was…  do you know fiverr,  so when I first went to do my book I got a mockup cover on fivver and it was hideous and I persisted. It was hideous, hideous, hideous.. I just didn’t like any of them, and I thought this is ridiculous and I ended up getting a professional to do the book cover, which your book cover is everything.   And also, so  is the internal of your book.   I went to do it on fivver and it was just like a bad word document - You want to prevent your book as lovely as you can and my books I'm just so proud of how the lady I ended up getting has presented my book.  It's just beautiful - you open up the book and it's just lovely.. so much more attractive than a word document and that's what I would have had if I'd of gone with the fiverr option.    I'm sure there are good ones out there on fiverr, but I just think don't skimp on the quality of your book and don’t skimp on the cover and the layout  - it's got to be good and it's got to be attractive.   And you're representing you.  This is really representing you in the world of business and in the professional world, so I completely understand Lisa,  If you pick up something,  you want it to really be a reflection of you - so most definitely. Absolutely, then the other things that I learnt was about publishing the books itself, so I've got my books on Ingram Sparks which is print on demand, so you can order your books in bulk, you can order 100 copies or 500 copies - or you can go on and order one copy. It’s print on demand - so that was something I preferred to have control of.   There are some people that publish books and they can get a really cheap price say in China or something and they can get them at  a couple of dollars a book and it's a lot cheaper but you have to buy in bulk.   So you might have to get 1000 books and they're in your bedroom until you sell them or get rid of them.   You might get a cheaper deal at the time, but the problem happens when you need to change something.  I've changed my book already -  soooo many times.  I've put a sentence in that I've thought no…..,  I want to take that one out or change it. I've got the capability and the control of doing that with the way that I've got it now on Ingram Sparks and Amazon.   If there's something I want to change I can.   For example if I want to change the cover I can.   I can change whatever I want  -  I don't think oh I can't… I've got a thousand books in my back bedroom that are now wrong.   It's something that you can change, you can adjust you can add to it and I found that it's a lot better for me.  Even though it might cost more, you've got more control. Yes and look I know having a bit to do with publishing houses and things for me that was the defining moment that I wanted this book to be me,  not just fitting into a certain genre that the publishing house decided would be best.    So I totally see where you are coming from Lisa,  to be able to have that control to do with your book what you want to do.. You can change things up and change things around  - is wonderful. Lisa and I'll give you a little time to think about this -  I'd really like to know about Marketing - because so many marketing companies out there offer you the world and then end up giving you nothing basically.  Being honest here…  so really interested to hear from the best in the business about how to go about marketing.   If you have just joined us,  this is the 5th show in this series called publishing 101 and today international best selling author Lisa B is sharing her expertise with us and what fabulous information it is.

Ok well I repurpose everything.  So, everything I do,  I think of another way that I can put it out there.  Whether it's a blog post,  whether it's a video..  whatever it is... if I've got one piece of content I look for where I can put that - on 10 different avenues.  Or where  I can use that one piece of content 10 times.  So that's what I'm always looking at.   I just don't do one thing and then put it away -  it’s how can i compile it.  If I do a video, then I'll do a compilation video - I'm getting a little bit of head of myself but it's using all of the avenues for you.  So I have a podcast, so I can have all of my content on the podcast - so I'm speaking to people or if I'm doing interviews or I'm just doing a tutorial or something -  I've got the podcast.  From from that podcast,  I can do a transcript of it, which becomes a blog post, which becomes a post on my social media channels -  so for one thing and one podcast -  I'm looking for how I can put that in many different ways.   So with the podcast,  I always also do a video. So one podcast I've now got into 4 different mediums and then on all of the different things put onto Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter,  Instagram, my website,  YouTube… everything!! So the podcast is one where it's a great thing to repurpose into many different ways so that's one thing is a podcast… so then obviously you've got the book which your marketing.. and telling people you've got the book… and putting photos everywhere of your book and create a hype on Facebook about your book coming up…You know getting interaction and asking people what cover looks best A, B or C?   Getting people interested in and knowing that your book is coming out, so that's a good thing as well and as I said your blog - so you’re promoting yourself through your blog,  your promoting your book through your blog,  whichever way you want to do that…  you've got the blog,  you've got the videos so YouTube - YouTube videos.   Can I interrupt there please Lisa, so when you say your YouTube videos, are you talking about the book or are you explaining what the books about… what are you doing there? Anything.  Anything. As I said, from the podcast I make a video.  It could be tutorials it could be anything. It could be something you've mentioned in the book, it could be information, it could be advertisements for the book, it could be…. geez I've got so many different kinds of videos.  A friend of mine wrote a song and so now I have a song that is my ‘books song’ so now I've got a dedicated song for my book  - a theme song.   So that's one of my videos as well and then you've got your website which is where you are promoting your book all through your website - so you've got… and with your book, you can have your opt in on your website,  you can have either a free audiobook as an opt-in, so that you’re collecting your list..  so there's lots of things you can do,  or you can offer say two or three three chapters of your book as an opt-in -  so again you're collecting a list of people that you can then market too if they haven't bought your book -  you can market to them about different things or if you're up selling to something else.  Then say Instagram, you've got photos and memes and things like that but you can do,  because it's not always about just promoting your book - you don't want to be going out there - my book,  my book,  my book, my book - people are going to get sick of you an unsubscribe -  so it's all about giving information and giving content and showing them who you are - and getting the like know and trust factor from people - is a massive thing as well so it's not always about the book -  it's also about other things that you're doing that they can relate to - it's about teaching them something.   And it is a lot about creating that trust isn't it, because people these days want to be able to trust you before they will buy from you or connect to you. Big time.   Big time.  Because with the online world, you don't know who's genuine and who’s not - it's an awful thing to say but who is really doing what they say they're doing? If you're following someone and sometimes I follow someone for 12 months before I really think - these people are somebody that I want to learn from and I want to buy their product - it might take you that long to really build that trust of somebody - so you know I think it's important to show people who you are and what your beliefs are as well as your products. And then social media is just amazing for promoting your book from Facebook,  LinkedIn,  Twitter, Instagram…  I try not to go to spread myself too thin on those mediums because otherwise you can be a master of none. I was going to say do you follow the the advice of sticking to one or two big time and really see what works for you which one works best for you is that what you do Lisa? Yes definitely,  I find Facebook really works for me.  I have Facebook groups and they are fantastic - they're like private real estate groups which I just love!  The are very interactive and I get a lot of comments and questions and that's amazing.  I really love that and just my personal Facebook page as well.   I have a lot of real estate agents that I connect with there because my main focus is real estate with my business,  so my personal Facebook page is something that gives me a lot of clients. People get to see what you’re like and relate to you and things like that -  LinkedIn I don't use a lot even though I do have a lot of followers and I do get a lot of business from there, I don't post a lot on there. I have got my profile on there and i’ve got a lot about myself which people then will look up.  Linkedin is like a resume-  I treat Linkedin a little bit like a resume - but if you are doing  business-to-business a lot of people do really love LinkedIn.  Twitter I don't do a lot but what I put on my Facebook business page goes automatically on to Twitter - so I've got a presence on there but it's not something that I focus on.  Instagram I love.   I absolutely love Instagram and I do get a lot of business from Instagram as well - so my two favorites are Facebook and Instagram and that's what works for me. And if they'd stop changing all the algorithms Lisa,  it would make it a lot easier wouldn't it. I know and that's why Instagram is great now, so get in and use it before they do change of the algorithms again.  Because Facebook -  I had a Facebook page which went really well and I got a lot of interaction and then one day it just switched off - it was like Facebook unless you were buying ads - it just went off and so then I started a group - a Facebook group which is really working for me.   So you're testing out things to see what is going to work best for you,  is that right Lisa? Yes for sure. I found because my market and my clients are real estate agents and  we talk about problems that we've had in real estate with clients, or getting deals together or whatever it maybe, so it needed to be in a group - because they're not going to share something like that on a public page. So if you're dealing with something where people and not going to want to share publicly,  then maybe a group might be a better option and that's what I found.  I tried really hard with my pages to get interaction and I was thinking why isn't this going as well as what I thought.. and then it clicked.  It’s really something you have to test.  The groups work for me for a lot better.  You can discuss what they're comfortable with and what they’re comfortable sharing. Keep an eye on what’s working and what doesn't - if it doesn't work,  there’s got to be a reason. Lisa if you have some more information about marketing, that would be fantastic. I mean to say what would life be like if we didn't have books to read.  I don't know about you or Lisa but for me I'm sure I couldn't survive. It just wouldn't happen, all that wonderful information, inspiration and everything else that I couldn't lay my hands on and the learnings that would never take place.  I really just don't want to think about it. I'm sure you'll agree Lisa wouldn't you.   Oh for sure. As they say it's like a University on Wheels for audio books -  that's my university on Wheels - my books.  I find Audible just amazing.  Being busy I want to read and I don't get the time to read a physical book,  so for me the audible books are just amazing and when I do get the chance to sit down and read a book I just love it.   I mean there's nothing like reading a physical book. So have you turned your book into an audible book yet Lisa? Yes, I haven't done audible only because apparently Australians we're not allowed to have audible yet,  so it's something that I've looked into having someone else read it out for me on audible - it has to be an American citizen with an American bank account - so I've actually read my book out and I've got it as an audio, but I've just got it on my website, housed on my website. So on my website people can opt in to get my audiobook free.  That's my lead ins.  So I haven't done it perfect but it's like,  I'm not going to let perfect get in the way of getting it done.  I just wanted to have my audiobook there and it's there and I'll look at upgrading that later and whatever..  it was just something I wanted to have there if people are busy and they can't read a physical book. And that's why I love podcasting because you can listen to it no matter where you are. You can be driving along in the car and I travel some fairly big distances and it's just so fabulous to have it so everyone remember Lisa has told you a number of times you can go to her website and opt in to listen to her book.  So I think  I'll be doing that as well. It's such a fabulous offer Lisa, Well in saying that, my book is all about how to position yourself as the expert -  now it is tailored to real estate agents but it really is for any business.  So anybody listening to this will actually get a lot out of that book because it's marketing 101 - it's everything from social media to video marketing to…  it's everything marketing-  the book is actually marketing. Lisa I'm just stunned, you are offering this for free on your website and that was going to be one of my questions…  is your book, you know what you’re offering… can we kind of transpose that into any other business that we might be running and obviously we can. I read a book about 25 years ago and it was called benchmarking and it was a book about how business strategies.   It was looking at businesses similar to your own and looking at what they're doing and looking at what you're doing and can you put any of the procedures into your business?   That was something I did,  I was in real estate and I looked at a travel agent and I thought it's kind of a little bit similar..  not really but kind of and I looked at some of the procedures they did and it really made me look at my business and business models in general so that was my first experience of really looking at business models and that was something when I study Internet marketing and I spent a fortune on online courses.  The best online marketers and read books and did everything with the vision of how can I apply this into real estate - so I watch what Frank Kern did with his clients and thought how can a real estate agent do this with their clients?  How can a real estate agent do what they're doing.. to make it successful and so I had a real estate office at the time and so I did all of those things.  I did the free books I did video marketing.  Everything the online marketers were doing that was successful and put it into my real estate office and then real estate agents started ringing me and asking me… how do I do this and how do I do that and why did you do this?   So then I thought wow, I've got to create an online product, I've got to write a book.  There's a market here because people don't know how to do this. I’ve sort of taken it for granted in lots of ways but I've also learnt it.  So...  I put all the information into a step by step process.   My book is actually a checklist - it's got boxes that you can check off -  you can say yes I've done this or you can come back and do it later.   It explains what to do,  it explains why you need to do it and as I said you can check it off.    So it really is everything I know about marketing - and you can put that into your own business as far as taking it and running with it - so then you can say you have your book - think how do I then take that and cross it over into my business and that's a question we should always be asking. If a business is successful what can I do to make my business just as successful as theirs?   That is just fantastic Lisa and I understand completely, to be able to take all that information and put into your own business - regardless of what business you're in. There will definitely be 90% of what Lisa is explaining and teaching you in her book that you can bring into your own business.   So my suggestion is that you go to www.lisab.com.au and have a look at that book.   Now Lisa time is just ticking down. Geraldine - It's gone so quick! Time just goes so quick when girls get together to chat. I was just going to say….. some of the things that I would like to say to people is that as I said….  I waited 10 years to publish my book and I just can't believe that I put it away for that long and did nothing with it,  so I would  just like to say, get it back out if you put a book away - get it back out have a look at it -  make some changes, adjust and whatever -  if you haven't written a book a big tip that I can give is Google Drive/ Google Docs -  that's how I've written all of my books - I've just got my Google App - opened a Google document on my phone it's also synced with my phone and my computer.   Then I came up with my title - I've got  my title page on my Google Docs then  I separated each into chapters -  chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 3,  Chapter 4.  I worked out kind of the flow of the book of what I wanted to say -  The introduction,  the different lead ins of how your book is going to be organised.  Then each chapter you write those headings at the front of the chapter and then wherever you are.  you can start to write your book.   My son does karate and for 5 hours a week while  he's at karate and I'm watching him, I get onto my phone or computer and start writing my book - while I'm watching my son do karate.  Or while I’m waiting for an appointment or if someone's 10 minute late.  I will just go in and write my book.   You don't get writer's block that way,  you're actually organising as you go and the great thing about Google Docs is that you can talk into it and do speech to text.  So you can press a button and you can just talk and the book writes for you.  Google Docs writes it for you, so you don't even have to type it in.   Technology is just amazing isn't it, so many things that we can do, so there's no excuse really is what you're saying. Another little tip that you can do, is once you have a podcast you can play that podcast back into your Google Docs and it can transcribe it for you.  You might have to make a few little changes but you can do your own transcripts.  Does that make sense? Yes It is so fantastic because otherwise what you have to do is listen to a bit of the recording,  stop and then listen to a bit more - you just play the audio into your Google Docs and it types it all out - and you have your transcript. So… just create a Google Docs and start writing - you might see something else that gives you inspiration,  something that you can write about, or a link to a website that somebody tells you about that is similar to your book -  put it in that document.  Put everything in that document and then you can go back and research - it's such a great way of doing it. I just absolutely love Google Docs.   I do everything on Google Docs. Everything is so easy to find -  you can put photos,  videos and all sorts of different things in there and it's your book!!  It's your focus when you log on! And I love the idea that you can do all that when you're out and about and because a lot of the time you're inspired when you're out and about - ideas come to us at the most inconvenient times so we can actually go in, or even just record those ideas on your phone.  I quite often do that too, just press record on my phone and I'm chatting away and people just think you're on the phone so that's ok. Now Lisa,  it's time for us to finish the show.  We are counting down here.   So Lisa I wanted thank you so much for being with us today.  It has just been fantastic and so much information in such a short amount of time.  I really appreciate your time,  effort and energy for being here so thank you. It just went so quick I can't believe it! Time Goes fast when you're having fun. Everybody you can visit Geraldine Teggelove Live for the recording of this week's show and we’ll be getting it out there so you won't miss it. I'm the meantime,  a million blessings of Peace, Love and wonderful success. Bye for now by Lisa. Dr Geraldine Teggelove - website Dr Geraldine Teggelove - radio interviews
