Not sure if anyone knows but its nearly Christmas.... (Humbug)

Well what does that mean?

Of course a Christmas Special...

The Cleaning up business Podcast is no exception and we have a Christmas edition for you all this week.

A very special guest, who I'm a huge fan of!

During our talk we discuss his social media strategy in an outdated industry, the thought of seeking therapy to help with his personal and business journey and how he basically makes it up as he goes along.

That guy is me!

So if you want to know who inspired me to start my content journey, yes they are on LinkedIn...

Where our content strategy is going (or not)???

How much does money social media make me...££££

The no.1 benefit of my content journey???

Is my future still in the cleaning industry???

Who had the BIGGEST impact on my career???

What the biggest thing I've learnt since starting my podcast???

Business Culture???

Going Viral and the money/leads that didn't flood in???

How vulnerable have I REALLY been with our content???

The non existence of "work life balance"???

And a huge personal revelation...

A big thank you to all our guests and my friend Ollie Rastall for hosting the episode.

Have a listen and let me know what you think.

I appreciate you all.

So....

Grab a tea or coffee and "Let's jump in to today's episode"
