Description

On the Leeds Business podcast I chat to inspiring, fascinating and super-impressive Leeds Business Owners, lifting the lid on their own unique personal business journeys; the ups, the downs, the successes and the failures and their own secret sauce. We also get a unique ‘how to…’ from each guest, to assist you on your own business journey. In addition we speak the city’s movers and shakers, and specialists on everything business related. I’m speaking to Founders who have sold their business for millions, start-up Founders who have an exciting new product or service, major Business Owners with the city’s biggest companies, fascinating hidden Leeds businesses and everyone in between… just as long as they have an interesting business journey to share, I talk to them.. The ‘how to..’ segment shares essential business learnings like; * How to raise Angel Investment * How to create a business plan * How to sell your business * How to create a business strategy * How to build a marketing campaign * How to buy a business competitor * How to read a P&L statement … and much much more… Why Leeds? It’s a brilliant place to live, work and play and is full of brilliant businesses and inspirational business leaders. And it’s my hometown. So if you’re a Business owner, or want to be one, or are simply interested in the Leeds business scene, you’ll want to be listening. The show is free to listen to and there’s a new episode every Wednesday, released at 7.00am so you can listen on your morning commute, at the gym, in the park or at home. The Leeds Business Podcast is hosted by Phil Fraser. Phil launched, scaled and sold his own business and is now a Business Sounding Board helping SME Business Owners like you to NOT be lonely at the top. Phil loves to hear other people’s business journeys. Want to suggest a guest for the show? Email phil@leedsbusinesspodcast.com. If you’re a Business Owner who’s feeling lonely at the top, or is strategically stuck or simply needs a supportive, confidential ear from someone who’s been there done that, email phil@philfraser.co.uk. Leeds Business Podcast is produced by Simon Treen at Western Studios in Leeds.
