Anna Parker-Naples is a former actress turned podcaster and podcast consultant. If you aren't tapping into the potential of audio marketing, you are definitely missing a powerful resource. An audio audience can help you build your list, grow your sales & marketing funnel in a hyper-targeted way to drive predictable sales and account growth.
Anna and I explore several areas relating to setting up your own podcast, getting it widely heard and building your audience. She gives tips on technology, brand building, things to avoid
#TheInquisitorPodcast fuels over 50% of my income today by bringing my work to my target audience without ever pushing or having to sell overtly. If you have something to say that others will value, consider setting up your own podcast. Globally there are only 2 million shows covering many aspects of human activity and interest. In my experience, a large proportion of my audience listen to 2 x 1 hour episodes each week. That is a lot of exposure and reinforcement.

Lorna Lawless, is coaching psychologist specialising in coaching mental toughness. She coaches MMA fighters, salespeople and business leaders. We explore what is mental toughness? Why do people lack it? How does one acquire it?
Unless you are aware of where you fit on the 4C-scale of mental toughness it is easy to self-sabotage or fall prey to your internal dialogue. It can diminish you power, eat into your self-concept or make you come across as rude, brash and insensitive.
Lorna makes the point that we all have it and are born with a propensity to mental toughness, and it can be developed and coached, but too few managers and leaders are asking is what can they do to develop mental toughness in their people
- Control
- Commitment
- Challenge
- Confidence

Adam Lawrence shares his stories from his time as an investor. We explore how investors earn their scar tissue. We dig into how investors think and how to pick the right investors for your business.
This episode has been the inspiration for my article on Medium called, "Interview With A Vampire" about how to get to the truth and qualify investors to make sure they are right for you and your business.
A very frank and unvarnished conversation about one of the biggest mistakes many founders make selecting the wrong investor, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons. Getting the right investor, for the right reasons, at the right time on the right terms can accelerate your growth but the failure rates of VC backed businesses are alarmingly high. I will say that in fairness to VCs, they are playing in the part of the market that is experimental - your product is new, your management may be untested, and your market may not be properly defined, so these factors carry high risk.

"Trust your gut feelings", says Andy Shaw, "We've forgotten to trust our intuition since we became the apex predator". Trust your gut especially if it's not critical. Even if you fail, learn from the scar tissue and calibrate your gut feelings to hone your decision making muscle.
If it's critical sense check your ideas with more experience. Ask "Who has already done what I'm trying to do?" It's the best shortcut to learning how to do stuff.
We discuss what great looks like in sales, and what doesn't. We dig into Andy's philosophy on great business and great selling by doing a little bit of good. We dig into hiring salespeople and highlight empathy and courage, equal business stature, listening and business empathy.
We explore collaboration, the need to slow down to speed up, selling past the surface level symptoms to get to the best solution for the customer, and we explore the power of scaling through strategic alliances.

Ben Eddy is co-founder and CEO of Mobile Practice. As head of sales enablement for a large technology manufacturer he realised that most of the money and effort on training was wasted. 70% of learning happens in the field AFTER training is over.
74% of managers believe they are coaching their salespeople whilst only 17% of their salespeople believe they are being coached.
The most effective learning occurs when a salesperson becomes aware of the impact their behaviour is going to have on their prospect, recognises how they need to modify their approach and then practices the new behaviour until it becomes habit. When they own the new behaviour and put it into context of their real life experience, they improve results. And isn't that really the reason why any business is investing in training their people? Not to get good scores on the smile sheets or track retention.
