  • Stick to business

    Love the podcast for the business content but the constant swipes at government policy after 14 years of austerity and the instability and chaotic nature of the tories it feels like these guys are just a right wing Tory / reform mouthpiece. Unless you want to look at the picture as a whole rather than tax policies, leave it alone

  • We Rated This Podcast For A Punt

    I tune in to Business Broadcast religiously, partly for the entrepreneurial wisdom, mostly for the reassurance that I’m not the only one juggling chaos, caffeine, and questionable spreadsheets.

    James, you’re brutally honest, slightly terrifying, but somehow motivating enough to make me believe my business Sophia Victoria Joy (we make personalised gifts that actually make people cry happy tears) might just take over the world… one gift at a time.

    Consider this my official Post-for-a-punt entry,... more

    I’ve been listening to the Business Broadcast for a while now and find great value in James and JB picking apart different business’ to get me thinking about my business practices. It’s entertaining and educational for anyone who needs useful business advice.

  • Great podcast spoilt by politics

    Used to love this podcast, and the addition of JB made it even better. However the increasing amount of politics and slating the UK as a place to do business has become too much and I decided to stop listening.

£20k - £40k Garden Business but this Seasonal Model Needs to Change!
Q: How did you get your first customer?
Knocking on doors was the initial method, and while William admits he doesn't do it enough now, it remains an effective way to start and sustain early momentum.
£20k - £40k Garden Business but this Seasonal Model Needs to Change!
Q: If a commercial grounds maintenance company got in contact with your group, what would be something that you would actually look at?
William explains he would rely on existing capabilities (equipment and staff) and would consider scalable outreach like targeted direct mail with strong headlines and risk-reversal guarantees to build a pipeline of ongoing, predictable work.
Q&A - The VAT Problem, Visiting Parliament & My Failed Businesses
Q: Do you or your businesses cold call? If so, tips to increase conversions?
Focus on warming the audience first with content and value (podcasts, newsletters, quizzes) before calling, as warmed leads convert much better than cold calls.
£200k/month Energy Solutions but facing Cash Flow, Hiring & Growth Challenges
Q: What does the end-state look like for the business, and how does that influence current hiring and growth decisions?
The end-state involves building a scalable, sale-ready company with strong cultural alignment; this shapes talent strategy, including leadership replacement plans and ensuring people can grow into larger roles, not just fill current tasks.
£200k/month Energy Solutions but facing Cash Flow, Hiring & Growth Challenges
Q: Kristian, how do you replace yourself as the business grows and you plan for the future ownership structure?
We start with a 10-year plan to map revenue and roles, then identify the senior leaders who can fill critical operations and strategy gaps, eventually aiming for an employee ownership trust to grant meaningful equity while maintaining culture and governance.
