I always enjoy tuning back into this podcast - it’s given me ideas for my own business, and continues to be a friendly voice in my ears whilst working. The episode on co-mentoring has been super valuable! Thank you Franky and Charlie!
Such an honest and also atmospheric podcast. I listen to it for the boost it gives, but also for its authenticity and the diversity of the voices. This is a fantastic podcast.
Franky and Charlie’s honest and open conversations are the perfect accompaniment to a working from home day when I fancy a bit of company! Having two perspectives is really beneficial when it comes to sharing a balanced view of life as a business owner as no two stories are ever the same. Now to find my own friend with business benefits
As a new start business, there's a lot to learn.
Listening to this podcast has become a part of my daily routine. Each time I listen, I feel I gain so much knowledge and am left feeling motivated and inspired.
The thing I like about this podcast is that it feels like you’re having a cuppa with a couple of your work besties, chewing the fat about stuff we all struggle with. It feels natural & personal rather than scripted & prescriptive, which makes it far more powerful in terms of getting me to think about my business. Can’t wait for the full series in 2019!
