Why You Should Create a Brand That Some People Will Hate: Branding Tips for Business, with Craig Gillespie
This week I’m joined by Brand Designer Craig Gillespie, who talks to me about a topic that affects every business – branding.
It’s so important to establish the correct branding for a business because it acts a shop window for consumers to see what you’re about and what you offer. Getting the right branding design can set you apart in a crowded market; hence why it’s so crucial to get it on-point.
Craig discusses how to focus branding on an ‘ideal client’ and why creating a brand that some people may hate can actually be a good thing.

What Does Fitness Look like Post-Covid? with Lincoln Bryden
Joining me for this week's podcast is ex-professional cricketer and fitness business coach Lincoln Bryden.
Lincoln chats to me about how the fitness industry has changed post-Covid and how, as fitness professionals, we'll continue to connect and inspire our clientele going forward.
You can follow Lincoln on Instagram @lincolnbryden
While social media is a great asset to connect with followers, it can be used to skew attitudes on how popular and successful someone truly is. It’s also easy to get caught up in the race for followers, likes and constant engagement. The fitness world is amongst the most prevalent of sectors that pop-up on newsfeeds, with countless posts about diet tips, suggested workouts and, of course, those gym-mirror selfies. This has been exacerbated by the pandemic, when fitness professionals moved their business – and clients – online. Joining me to talk through this ever-changing issue is three fitness experts who, like me, are part of the Bio-Synergy Team: Emma Goodman-Horne, Daniel Herman and Marvin Ambrosius. Join us for a fun, all-ranging chat about the pros and cons of social media.

What Confidence Means to You: Believing You're Capable, with Alice Blackledge
Confidence is something many people struggle with. It's the self-belief you have in yourself (and your abilities) and being happy in who you are. It can also mean different things to different people. For some, the goal of confidence is publicly speaking to a room full of people; for others it may be feeling confident in how they look with their appearance.
So how do we develop our level of confidence and feel more content in who we are? Joining me to discuss this topic is online fitness coach and pro fitness model, Alice Blackledge.
Alice shares her experience of evolving her own confidence and how this has helped with her life and career. You can follow Alice on Instagram @aliceblackledge
