Description

One business. One lesson. Every episode. 


Real businesses. Real stories. Real-time.

What One Thing? is the straight-talking bi-weekly podcast for growing UK businesses with a team who are on the move — building, scaling, and figuring it out as they go.


Join co-hosts Hayley Baxter (Corbar Accounting) and Phil Davenport (Affirm IT) as they chat with fellow business owners and share their own lessons from the journey — the things they wish they'd known, the wins, the wobbles, and the one thing that made the biggest difference.


Each episode is 15–25 minutes of real-world insight, a few laughs, and practical takeaways to help you grow a better business — without the fluff.


🎙️ Expect:

  • Honest interviews with business owners on the grow
  • Topic episodes on key business challenges
  • Straight answers, no jargon
  • One clear lesson, every week

👀 Also on YouTube — because yes, it’s filmed too.
📍 Based in Derbyshire, speaking to businesses across the UK.


New episodes fortnightly — follow to catch the next one.
