Brand is not a logo. In this Business Babble episode, David Reid from Because Brands Matter joins us to unpack what a real brand is, why it lets you charge a premium, and how to build one that customers trust. We dig into values, positioning, consistency, naming, colours, audience testing, and the practical steps to launch or refresh a brand in B2B and beyond.
Entrepreneur, author and NLP trainer Rebecca Bonnington joins Business Babble to spell out why most companies stall. It is not the economy, it is culture. She explains how NLP helps founders and leaders ask better questions, make faster decisions, build resilient teams and scale towards a valuable exit. We get into people first leadership, defining non-negotiables, turning chaos into systems, and why hundreds of small customer moments beat any so-called USP. There are spicy takes on education, resilience, parenting, and the future of innovation too.
Belinda Roberts MBE joins Business Babble for a no-filter chat on what it really takes to build and scale a business. We dig into risk, cash flow, funding routes, invoice finance, pitching to angel investors, sales that feel human, and why authenticity matters more than polish. Belinda also lifts the lid on WEDO Scotland, why many firms hit a growth plateau, and how to get past it.
In this episode of Business Babble, we sit down with Anna Black of Lindores Stay in North Fife, Scotland. Anna shares her inspiring journey of transforming a third-generation family farm into a thriving hub of luxury lodges, equestrian experiences, whisky collaborations, and unforgettable food & drink events.
Former pro rugby player and Effective Now founder Mark Blair joins Business Babble to tackle a big question: are schools preparing young people for the modern workplace, or are we leaving a massive skills gap for employers to solve?
Trying to shift strategy without losing your team? Consultant Alan Russell from Forth Road Ltd joins Business Babble to show how real change sticks when you lead the right conversations.
