Tony K Silver and Jill Shatz guest on The Business Show on Marlow FM 97.5 from 2nd September 2021

This is an edited version of The Business Show from Marlow FM 97.5 on 2nd Sept 2021.

My guests were Tony K Silver and Jill Shatz.  You can connect with them via https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonyksilver/& https://www.linkedin.com/in/jill-shatz-765735145/ respectively.

I chose one piece of music for each of my guests today.  The one for Jill was played first – it’s Jona Lewie’s “You’ll  Always Find Me in the Kitchen at Parties” – a great fit, I felt.  You can hear it at https://youtu.be/62eTq8ErUOQ .

Tony then talks about the letter K in his name, which is there for good business reasons, and then explains what a LinkedIn profiler does, and why “the seven second syndrome” is important.

I then spoke to Jill about what Newleaf Kitchens does, and the answer is not as obvious as you might think.  A conversation about having an open plan kitchen / dining room / lounge led to the business question of whether the customer is always right.

“Looking Out my Back Door” by Credence Clearwater Revival was Jill’s choice of music.  It’s a track which was, for her family, one of the good things about lockdown.  You get to hear it at https://youtu.be/Aae_RHRptRg.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58329439 kicked off a wide ranging conversation about HGV drivers and how a lack of them impacts the supply chain.  What’s the solution?

Tony chose “Livin’ Thing” by ELO for us – am I allowed to say “no G” without getting sued?  You can hear it at https://youtu.be/lvBOZCrJsAI.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58355105was Tony’s news choice – should we care about BA’s costs going up?  And what’s happening with furlough, and when?  

Jill’s story for us, found at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57489195 – what’s our take on takeaways?  Can takeaways encourage new customers to eat in?

Our last story before the end of the show was about confidence, sparked by the story at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58383035 which Tony found for us.  Is business confidence high?  Why?  And is that confidence valid?

My track for LinkedIn profiler Tony was Inna Vision’s “Link Up” – the most relevant title I could find!  You can hear it at https://youtu.be/Kp7yZ1DNYHE .

The best way to get in touch with Tony is of course at his LinkedIn profile, which you’ll find at https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonyksilver/ . 

https://newleaf-kitchens.com/  is the best place to find out all about Newleaf Kitchens, including of course all of Jill’s contact details.
