Jeannette meets Lucy Whittington, founder of Inspired Business Marketing. With over 30 years of experience, Lucy shares her insights on the importance of clarity in marketing and how simplicity can often be the boldest strategy.
Lucy also discusses the M-O-P-S framework, which emphasises the significance of understanding one's offer before crafting a clear message, the evolving landscape of marketing in the age of AI, the necessity of personal branding, and the power of niching down to effectively reach target audiences
You’ll learn why:
Emphasising clarity over complexity is crucial in marketing.
A clear message and focused offer help businesses communicate effectively with their target audience
Businesses should consider niching down to better target their ideal customers
Consistent messaging is key to effective marketing.

Collaborating with other businesses or individuals who serve the same target audience can amplify reach without significant marketing budgets

Jeannette talks to the amazing Piers Linney, entrepreneur, investor, and former Dragon, who’s here to share his compelling life and career journey.
Piers details his non-linear path from a working-class background and early struggles in education to becoming a successful lawyer and investment banker, stressing the initial chaos and sheer determination required
You’ll learn why:
Piers' journey into finance and law was seen as highly improbable by others due to his background.
He learned resilience by intentionally embracing a "bloody-minded" approach to overcome repeated initial setbacks.
The dot-com crash of 2000 completely eliminated his safety net, forcing him to succeed as an entrepreneur.
The key to enduring the early years of business is to "love the process" and stop focusing solely on the destination.
The most painful times in his career led to a realisation that "self-pity doesn't become you," forcing him to get back up.
Technology is democratising opportunity, but only for those who become masters of it and not technophobes.
In a world of increasing automation, future career success lies in high-value, high-variability human skills.
True success means having the "choice" to only do things you want to do, making every day count.

Jeannette talks to Luna Aziz, the founder of Legendairy Milk, who shares her inspiring journey from struggling with low milk supply as a new mother to creating a successful business that supports breastfeeding moms.
Luna discusses the challenges she faced during the early days of motherhood, including sleep deprivation and feelings of inadequacy, which led her to explore alternative lactation solutions. As she delves into her entrepreneurial path, Luna highlights the importance of community, education, and innovation in the breastfeeding space, as well as the significant growth of her brand over the past decade
Luna explains how:
The business was born out of a personal struggle with low milk supply during the postpartum period, leading to the creation of innovative lactation support products that address unmet needs in the market.
The focus on providing valuable education and support to mothers, rather than solely promoting products, has helped build a strong community and brand loyalty.
This approach emphasises the importance of understanding and addressing the emotional and mental challenges faced by new mothers.
Initially managing all aspects of the business alone led to burnout.
Recognising the need for a supportive team and delegating responsibilities has been crucial for sustainable growth and personal well-being.
While social media has been instrumental in connecting with the target audience, it also presents challenges, such as misinformation and negative comments

Jeannette explores the common pitfalls that entrepreneurs and business leaders face, such as resting on past achievements and overcomplicating growth strategies.
She shares five core principles of "momentum masters," including the importance of playing the long game, redefining success, and learning from failures
Jeannette explains why:
True mastery in business is about sustaining momentum over time, not just achieving a single success. It involves continuous growth, evolution, and the ability to adapt to new challenges.
Successful leaders, or "momentum masters," embody five key principles: playing the long game, redefining success, staying in motion (even with small steps), building repeatable systems, and learning faster than they fail.
Many leaders lose momentum by resting on their past successes, overcomplicating growth strategies, losing curiosity, and neglecting energy management
To regain momentum, individuals should reflect on their past successes, identify what slowed their progress, develop new growth strategies, and commit to taking actionable steps, no matter how small.

Jeannette welcomes Laura Fullerton, the Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Monk, a pioneering wellness tech company focused on cold water immersion.
Laura shares her entrepreneurial journey, detailing the inspiration behind Monk and the challenges she faced in bringing her innovative product to market. Together they also delve into the transformative benefits of cold water therapy, the importance of building a strong brand, and the lessons learned from her first year of trading
Laura explains why:
The journey into entrepreneurship can stem from a deep passion or frustration. The initial business idea often arises from a personal need that is not being met in the market.
Surrounding oneself with fellow founders, mentors, and advisors is crucial.
Different types of support—peers at a similar stage, experienced mentors, and aspirational figures—can provide valuable insights and encouragement throughout the entrepreneurial journey.
Building a brand that resonates with core values and is not limited to a specific product can create a broader appeal
Adapting products based on customer feedback is essential for growth.
Understanding the market and being responsive to the needs of the community can lead to the development of more accessible and relevant offerings.

Jeannette talks about the transformative power of mentorship, emphasising its vital role in personal and professional growth.
She reflects on her own journey from humble beginnings to becoming a successful CEO and business owner, highlighting the mentors who have shaped her path. Jeannette also discusses the importance of both receiving mentorship and giving back as a mentor, illustrating how this dual role can unlock exponential growth for individuals and organisations alike
Jeannette explains why:
Mentorship plays a crucial role in personal and professional development.
Mentorship helps individuals see possibilities they may not have considered and compresses decades of learning into a shorter timeframe.
As one grows in their career, the role of a mentor becomes essential.
Mentoring others not only benefits the mentee but also enhances the mentor's growth.
Effective leaders focus on developing others, ensuring that their impact extends beyond their tenure.

Podcast Description
Jeannette Linfoot talks to incredible people about their experiences in business and life, gaining first hand insight into how they unleashed their potential to become Brave Bold Brilliant.
From the boardroom tables of big international businesses to the exciting world of entrepreneurs it's all about stepping up to the next level while staying true to yourself.
Jeannette talks about the "invisible edge" that smart entrepreneurs leverage to achieve exceptional results. She discusses how focusing on subtle, often overlooked strategies can provide a competitive advantage without the need for longer hours or risky moves.
She focusses upon the importance of prioritising systems over hustle, building meaningful relationships, making data-driven decisions, and embracing innovation
Jeannette explains why:
Achieving outsized results often comes from making subtle, intentional changes rather than following obvious trends or strategies.
Smart entrepreneurs prioritise systems, relationships, data, and innovation to gain a competitive advantage.
You should identify the 20% of actions that generate 80% of results, and prioritise these high-impact activities to enhance productivity and profitability.
Investing time in nurturing relationships with clients, collaborators, and mentors is crucial.
Leveraging technology, including AI and automation, can free up time from repetitive tasks, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on strategic growth and innovation.

ABOUT THE GUEST
Annemarie Durbin is a globally respected banking leader with decades of experience across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.

Podcast Description
Jeannette Linfoot talks to incredible people about their experiences in business and life, gaining first hand insight into how they unleashed their potential to become Brave Bold Brilliant.
From the boardroom tables of big international businesses to the exciting world of entrepreneurs it's all about stepping up to the next level while staying true to yourself.
As consumers become increasingly skeptical and competition intensifies, Jeannette emphasises that trust—not price—drives customer loyalty, attracts top talent, and secures investor confidence.
She outlines practical steps for building unshakable trust within teams, customers, and partners, highlighting the importance of transparency, consistency, and authenticity
Jeannette explains why:
In today's business landscape, trust has become the ultimate currency, more valuable than price or marketing strategies. It is essential for customer loyalty, attracting talent, and gaining investor confidence.
Trust can take years to build but can be lost in seconds. Companies must be transparent and consistent in their actions to maintain trust, as a single negative experience can undo significant marketing efforts.
Key actions to foster trust include being transparent about wins and setbacks, delivering consistent experiences, showing authenticity, prioritising values over profits, and communicating effectively.
Trust is not only important externally with customers and investors but also internally within teams

Podcast Description
Jeannette Linfoot talks to incredible people about their experiences in business and life, gaining first hand insight into how they unleashed their potential to become Brave Bold Brilliant.
From the boardroom tables of big international businesses to the exciting world of entrepreneurs it's all about stepping up to the next level while staying true to yourself.
Jeannette looks at the intriguing concept of the "profit paradox," which suggests that doing less can actually lead to greater financial success. She addresses the common misconception among entrepreneurs that busyness equates to success, highlighting how this mindset can lead to burnout and diluted focus
Jeannette explains why:
Delegating tasks and using technology to automate repetitive work can free up time for strategic thinking and high-value actions, ultimately leading to increased profitability.
You need to identify the 20% of tasks that produce 80% of results and concentrate efforts there
Protecting your time by saying no to non-essential tasks and scheduling breaks is crucial for maintaining focus and preventing burnout.
You need to consistently evaluate your weekly activities to determine which ones are moving the needle and adjust your focus accordingly to ensure sustainable growth.

Jeannette Linfoot speaks with Fergal O'Connor, the highly competitive founder and CEO of Buymedia, one of the fastest-growing companies in Ireland. In this episode, Fergal shares how Buymedia is continuing its rapid growth, recently launching into the UK market as part of its mission to transform the global advertising landscape.
Fergal explains how he is democratising the advertising world for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by leveraging AI to ensure every pound of ad spend delivers real business results. He opens up about his story, his deep competitive drive, and his unexpectedly shy nature.
Fergal explains why:
Revenues and customers will solve most of the business problems.
You can go fast by yourself, but you can't go far unless you have a high-energy team around you.
Why asking “Please tell me where my baby is ugly" to find what is wrong with your product or process early will help you solve it.
You shouldn’t be afraid to share your ideas with mentors, as people are generally too busy with their own work to steal them .
