On The Business Show on Marlow FM on 21st April 2022, guests Janet Lacey and Helena McBride joined me for business conversations and some great music – you can connect with them at https://www.linkedin.com/in/janet-lacey-stelling-24034911/ and https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenathespacemaker/ respectively.

As it’s nearly summer, and fetes like summer on the day of the show, I kicked things off with “Summer of 69” by Bryan Adams. Have a listen at https://youtu.be/eFjjO_lhf9c.

I spoke first to Helena about The Space Maker and their decluttering work in both homes and offices, helping to clear both physical spaces and minds! You can read all about her award winning business at https://www.thespacemaker.co.uk/.

I then talked to Janet Lacey about Not Just Travel, which is indeed about a lot more than just travel! That includes expert knowledge on the ever-changing Covid rules for travel to and from pretty much any country you can name. You can see the detail at https://thelaceys.notjusttravel.com/ .

Speaking of holidays, as we were, “Send Me On My Way” by Rusted Root (there is no ‘S’!) was Janet’s choice of music, because she sends so many people on their way! You can hear the track at https://youtu.be/IGMabBGydC0.

Our first business news story for discussion was Helena’s choice and can be found at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-61139483 - some of the downsides to businesses of the rising cost of living were discussed, before we talked about some of the upsides, a conversation sparked by https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-61067507.

“Jump” by Madonna was Helena’s music choice for us. Sometimes you have to jump to it, or JDI as I (nearly) sometimes say. Jump to the track yourself, at https://youtu.be/Rx0mYN32Kps.

Janet’s choice of story for us was the one at https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/423778 - how are you making your business more sustainable, and will these tips help?

Our final conversation was Helena’s choice – a nice local story which you can find at https://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/20069869.haringtons-salon-offering-free-haircut-week-marlow/ - a lovely thing for them to do, and some good PR too.

As another nod to summer, I closed the show with Donna Summer and, as I was on the radio, I chose “On The Radio” – you can enjoy it at https://youtu.be/gPzMxB2uct0.
