Podcasts for business</a>.

I moved to the UK a very long time ago (so called friends tell me I am now more British than Canadian!) and now very much see England as home. My life is a mixture of spending time with friends, borrowing the most beautiful dog (be warned - I may be a tad smitten with him!), working with business buddies as we try to grow our businesses and endeavouring to get back into horse back riding which I miss immensely.

Like many, I am a huge tennis fan for the 2 weeks of the year that Wimbledon is on!

I have a <a href='http://itunes.bridginggaps.uk/' target='_self'>podcast </a>which is partially business and partially pleasure as I really love speaking to so many different inspiring business owners.

In spare time, I experiment with my creative side by creating new patterns and designs and enjoy photography as well.

I now combine my experience of planning, love of technology and talking by working with people and businesses to launch their own podcasts.

An expert to help you use podcasts to boost your small business

Every Tuesday at 12.30pm you can watch an online business masterclass delivered by one of our adviser members.

What's this I hear? A guide to podcasts for business

Live masterclasses are available for free for Enterprise Nation members or £10 for non-members. 

If you're not yet a member, free online masterclasses and an archive of 200+ recorded masterclasses are just one of many benefits. 

Your voice, your message, their ears. I work with you to get your podcast on air.

What is your favourite business book and why?

 by Michael Gerber. It appeals to the process part of me and that recognition that spending time setting them up will save you time in the long run.

I don't have a specific hero. I interview so many wonderful business owners and they all bring something special to the table.

I think it would be fair to say I've learned from all of them but I think one of the people I most admire is Tom Watson, a Canadian entrepreneur who has been through so much and is doing so well and doing it wonderfully!

We all have a lot of skills but finding that combination that uses your skill set and brings your passion to the table and meeting a need for businesses can be very difficult. It has taken me some time to discover the podcasting world but am now thrilled to be here!

Oh that's a tough one! I think currently it is making this change in direction in my life and being brave enough to do so.

What piece of advice do you wish you had known when starting out?

Niche, niche, niche. And then when I did know about it, getting to grips with it sooner!

Why do you consider long-term strategic advice important to business success?

Knowing where you're going and what you want to achieve gives you your why and that why can keep you going when times are tough.

If you had a superpower what would it be and why?

I have a soothing voice (or so I am told!) so I can often help people feel more relaxed and then see their way out of whatever is challenging for them now! Whether that is overcoming a mental obstacle to recording their first podcast episode or something else.

Social media marketing for small Business

A group to learn and share social media advice and tactics

&lt;p&gt;I started my career in journalism and was lucky that the content marketing revolution meant my particular skills - storytelling, audience engagement, creative idea generation&amp;nbsp;and so on - were soon in demand in the business world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From drawing out the heart of a brand&amp;#39;s message to creating powerful headlines and calls to action that drive... well, action... I help businesses stand back and ask the question, &amp;quot;So what?&amp;quot; It&amp;#39;s what separates indulgent copy from copy that hits the mark with target customers / clients and actually achieves a business goal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Quality and precision are central to everything I do and&amp;nbsp;I have brought together a team of skilled professionals who have the same&amp;nbsp;level of commitment to doing their jobs to the best of their ability every day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m also passionate about flexible working and wellbeing in the workplace and am 100% committed to making sure that I do everything in my power to ensure that Rin Hamburgh &amp;amp; Co is a great company to work for as well as with.&lt;/p&gt;
