Nikki Burns and Tony K Silver guest on The Business Show on Marlow FM 29th February 2024

March 02, 2024 • Mark Harris • Season 9 • Episode 9

On The Business Show on Marlow FM on 29th February 2024, my guests were LinkedIn profiler Tony K Silver, and business consultant Nikki Burns, who joined me to talk about their work, and to discuss a range of business news stories.

As I was jetting off the day after the show, my first music choice had to be the Peter Paul & Mary version of “Leaving on a jet plane” – https://youtu.be/IVEATF7VNTk?si=MnOtyfHISy7FyvW4.

Tony then spoke about his work in the world of LinkedIn, helping clients to maximise the benefits of having a profile, which he starts by asking why they have one at all!

Nikki then spoke about her work as a business consultant, as well as her role as Chair of the FSB for the Thames Valley.

Her music choice was “All you need is love” by The Beatles, because people do business with people, and it’s all about love. You can hear it at https://youtu.be/_paPrw0gAUo?si=dXh1_oc_6NQmADJL .

She then chose a story featured at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/networking-building-relationships-yourvirtualpeople/ which tied in with the other article she found at https://speednetworking.com/the-value-of-face-to-face-meetings-why-in-person-is-better-than-online/ - how is networking coming along post Covid, and is f2f better than online?

We then played Tony’s choice of music – “When I’m 64”, also by The Beatles. He chose it because he’s nearly there! You can hear it at https://youtu.be/HCTunqv1Xt4?si=ozO8oh5wiBVYn9GS.

We talked a little about whether LinkedIn is networking, and then moved on to Tony’s story, which you’ll find at https://gijn.org/resource/tipsheet-investigating-ai-audio-deepfakes/. Are AI generated deep fakes a threat to democracy, and to business?

The last song was another for (and from) Hilary – XTC with “Making plans for Nigel” – you can hear it at https://youtu.be/n-X3Wy-svIY?si=-uPTD4FxfGnqkQ8.
