Andy Steer and Hilary Messer guest on The Business Show on Marlow FM 20th October 2022

On The Business Show on Marlow FM on 20th October 2022, solicitor Hilary Messer from Gardner Leader and IT expert Andy Steer of Vividly Simple joined me to talk about their work, and to discuss a range of business news stories. 

Both of my music choices today were linked by their titles – the first was Paul Young’s “Love of the common people” - you can hear it at https://youtu.be/SVmjKHkgxis.

I spoke first to Hilary about her specialism as a solicitor, and about the breadth of work that Gardner Leader covers before we wafted into a conversation about the menopause, as she’s now a licenced Menopause Champion.  You can hear more on that topic by going back to season 7 episode 4.

Andy then talked about Vividly simple but much of our conversation was on his withdrawal from social media channels and the zero impact on the business that withdrawal has had.

Because this is very much a moment in time, Whitney Houston’s “One moment in time” was Andy’s music choice for us – hear it at https://youtu.be/96aAx0kxVSA.

My business news story for us to discuss can be found at https://www.enterprisenation.com/learn-something/government-to-replace-gdpr-with-british-data-protection-system/ - well – quite a conversation and at least one rant!

Hilary chose One Direction with “Night Changes” because she’s grown to like him and his music.  Have a listen at https://youtu.be/syFZfO_wfMQ.

We then talked about e-waste because Andy chose the story at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-63245150 - maybe when you hear the conversation you’ll find and recycle all your old mobile phones!

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2022/oct/09/goodbye-wfh-hello-wfp-thats-working-from-pub-this-winter was Hilary’s choice for us to discuss – will you be WFP this winter?  If you want to know more about Laptop Monday (as mentioned) have a look at https://enterprisedoctor.co.uk/laptop-monday/.

I closed the show with the linked track I promised – “Common People” by Pulp – listen at https://youtu.be/yuTMWgOduFM.
