In this week’s episode I sat down with entrepreneur and community builder Luke Cook. Luke started his career in radio and over the last 20 years has been a senior leader in media along with founding two businesses, FUNLOCKA & Cuppa Of Life. 

He’s an ideas man, change maker, connector, culture specialist, entrepreneur, host, interviewer, father and husband.

 He’s also someone who has battled burnout, lost people very close to him, had to reinvent his business in a day, and been on the brink of losing it all! He now uses his experiences in life to craft relevant and engaging conversations for the businesses that he works with and for. 

 We chatted about how we can harness the power of virtual events and connections, building community and if the businesses that survive and thrive during shifting landscapes and into the future, are the ones who say yes to happiness and putting their staff and community wellbeing at the forefront.

This episode is for you if you’re passionate about community, connection and learning more about workplace wellbeing - no matter the size of the company.

In this week’s episode I sat down with Marie-France Samba, a savvy entrepreneur, mother of 2, speaker, coach for women entrepreneurs and globe-trotter! Born and bred in Paris, spanning a successful career of fifteen years in the Press industry – working with the likes of Elle magazine, Sony and Warner Music.

From Paris to Stockholm, Milan to Oslo, London to New York, Miami to St Lucia, Marie gained a proven understanding of different business challenges both in the entrepreneurial world, and in the corporate world, especially for women. 

She was a finalist at a Global Women’s Aspirational Awards Summit in New York and was featured in the mindset issue of the Inspired Coach magazine.

As a leader and personal branding coach, Marie-France is mission-minded, effective and highly dedicated to unleashing her clients potential and passionately guides and supports them to unleash and own their uniqueness to create a compelling personal brand for greater influence, impact and income. 

Her key areas of expertise include:

• Personal branding and image
• How to unleash your uniqueness to stand out on any market
• How to gain self-awareness and develop a growth mindset for success
• Strategies to uncover your full potential and scale your business

We chatted about personal branding for a profitable business, and our society's obsession with everyone seemingly needing to be a personal brand and how we might overcome any obstacles or resistance we may have around building a personal brand as opposed to a business brand.

If how and what level of personal branding is right for you and your business objectives is something you find yourself considering, then this episode is for you.

In this week’s episode I sat down with Vanessa Rinaldi aka Mrs Social to talk about the weird and wonderful world of paid ads.
