Business Source
Welcome to the 'Business Source' Podcast Show. I’ll be talking to friends, colleagues, clients and partners about their experiences since that fateful day in March when we were all forced into lockdown.Listening to how their business has been affected, the changes they were forced to make in order to survive and plan for the future. We also discuss their personal challenges, goals, motivations as well as some awesome book/website/film/documentary recommendations.If you would like to appear on the show, please contact us lee@connectingbusiness.co.uk
