Released June 27, 2024
This week's podcast is an interview with Andres Klaric, the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Fuse, a next-gen loan origination system (LOS) that simplifies lending for financial institutions.
Over the last decade, Andres worked on Wall Street, investing in tech and business services.
This gave him an acute awareness of the issues slowing down lenders from achieving their highest potential, ultimately leading to starting Fuse with his cofounder, Marc Escapa.
On this week's show he shares his story of what a start-up executive goes through – and all the things he leared from working at a car dealership AND on Wall Street.

On the show, Barry discusses the power and importance of differentiation.
He suggests that too often, great brands don’t recognize, understand or value the uniqueness within their company or products. It leads to a commodity mindset that diminishes sales, profit, quality and employee morale.
With reference to his new book "The Power of Differentiation", Barry insists that businesses shouldn't make assumptions about what they do.

Episode 179
Released May 16, 2024
This week's guest is Doug Betts, who runs a business helping organisations to build skill at managerial and leadership level. I am passionate about this myself as I regularly work in business and find many people struggle with some aspect of their role. Often its handling conflict, or people who are under-performing, or it can be getting the right person in the job in the first place.
Doug is very skilled with a long history of working in HR and his starting point is another passion of mine – that HR is not just about employment records and holiday allowance! It’s more complicated than that and experts like him are often very skilled at ‘all things people’.

This week's guest is John Hall - an expert in breathwork.
John who runs his own business www.breathe-with.me talked about how the vagus nerve works and that it runs the full length of the body from brain to toes! As a result, it controls or influences, many reactions, and responses in our body. He is quoted as saying “our mind is sending signals to our body about what to focus on. Our focus is sending signals back to our body about how to respond!” So, the aim of this podcast is to help you recognise what you have control of, and how to assert that control. It pays off.

Episode 170
Released March 14, 2024
This week's guest is Kasper Sierslev
Kasper is the Chief Commercial and Creative Officer for Zite Agency in Copenhagen. His background has been in agency marketing, and he’s got experience of being both his own in-house marketing expert and using external support.
During this episode we had a great chat about small businesses and how they get to the tipping point where it has less value using a ‘jack of all trades’ who does everything for you, versus outsourcing your marketing needs. Often it is driven by the level of expertise you need and the sector you’re in. Big logistical issues such as the delivery of freight need people who understand what is being shipped and to whom, so that they can promote the benefits of the company they represent.
