Richard “Lionheart” Knight and Tony K Silver guest on The Business Show on Marlow FM 15th December 2022

On The Business Show on Marlow FM on 15th December 2022, Tony K Silver and Richard “Lionheart” Knight joined me to talk about their respective businesses, and to discuss a range of business news stories.  

Just because it seemed like a good idea, I started the show with Siouxsie And The Banshees and “Hong Kong Garden” – you can hear it at https://youtu.be/Y-l9GQJRl9Y .

Tony K Silver’s new company name is Tony K silver, so we had to talk about how he came up with the name, but we also talked about his new emphasis of being a speaker who does training, rather than a trainer who gets speaking engagements.  You can connect with Tony at https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonyksilver/.

Richard then spoke about the range of reasons the word “Lionheart” is in his name, and in his company name, Lionheart Management.  He also talked about the ways in which his business helps other businesses to be more effective.  The best way to contact Richard is via [email protected] or see his website at https://lionheartmanagement.co.uk/.

His music choice was Barry White with “Can’t get enough of your love baby” because Barry’s a real icon of soul music.  Hear it at https://youtu.be/x0I6mhZ5wMw.

And his business news story for us to discuss can be found at https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/smallbusiness/article-11461927/Will-small-businesses-benefit-Black-Friday-year.html and is about the pros and cons of Black Friday for small businesses, but we all used as an excuse to have a general rant about Black Friday!

https://www.uktech.news/growth-strategy/digital-skills-gap-hurting-business-20221005 was chosen for us by Tony.  What is the digital skills gap, and whose fault is it that there is one?

Tony chose The Darkness with “Christmas Time” because he hasn’t heard it on the radio this year!  You can hear it right now on your device at https://youtu.be/aiMAh2cLczY. 

My story for us was at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-63911363 but the question for me was the extent to which businesses should get involved with crypto.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinesscouncil/2022/09/01/how-to-prepare-your-small-business-for-a-recession/?sh=77a4cf3076c2 was Richard’s other choice for us (and not Tony’s!) – good advice within it?

As this year has been a long and winding year, I closed the show a song title like that by The Beatles - listen to it for yourself at https://youtu.be/fR4HjTH_fTM.
