Pete Schonbeck guests on The Business Show 3rd December 2020

This podcast episode is Lawrence Wood’s version of The Business Show which was broadcast live on Marlow FM 97.5 on 3rd December 2020, but he couldn’t be there, so I stepped in to do his show, with his guest, in his format.  If you like his format, maybe you should listen to him doing it!

That guest is Pete Schonbeck of Productschon Business Advice – you can see his website at https://www.productschon.com/ and link with him via https://www.linkedin.com/in/pschonbeck2/.

After a quick chat with Pete, I play Lawrence’s choice of music (in absentia!) which is Chosen One by Valley of Wolves – you can watch and listen to it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6egnQzvVh8&ab_channel=CommonSense .

Pete then delivers his 60-second pitch in the “Pitch Me Quick” section of the show, and we discuss that pitch, who it’s aimed at, and the pros and cons of having a niche.

His first choice of music is Searching, by Change, featuring Luther Vandross – you can hear it by going to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyyEN4dmvVY&ab_channel=Cienfuegos911 

Pete then more than adequately fills the Expertise slot, including his grounding in his father’s business and then at brands like Levi Strauss and Tommy Hilfiger.  His view on the strength of small businesses was one of the key areas he talked about, along with the brand value proposition.

I’ll Be Around by The Spinners is Pete's second choice of music – you can see those light blue tuxedos and hear the song at https://youtu.be/UMsB4FLuPfc .

As per Lawrence’s format, we then talk about Pete’s favourite networking group, except that with Pete being Pete, he did of course have two.  

One was Laptop Monday, a group dear to my heart, and you can find details on it at https://enterprisedoctor.co.uk/laptop-monday/ .  The other was Lunch Club, and their info is at https://lunchclub.ai/. 

We also talk about the future of networking – online, face-to-face, or some sort of fusion?

In tribute to the Mr Wood who wasn’t on the show I played a track from a different Mr Wood – you’ll find it at https://youtu.be/wxE2amjAo9w .

I hope you enjoy the show!
