The OM Podcast - Let's Talk

Firstly apologies for the record quality - we sat in our hotel room recoding this episode and it's really not the best! But the content is up to our usual, great standards!Back in 2019 we won an award...we became one of Theo Paphitis' Small Business Sunday companies - a competition designed to speficially support small businesses in the UK. As a winner we are invited every year (except during COVID) to attend a conference for all winners - we get to listen to some inspirational speakers, get advice and network. In the past we have heard from Sara Davies and Martin Brundle, but this year it was the turn of Stacey Solomon, and we were so inspired we decided that we had to record a podcast.....
