It's been a while - apologies, sometimes life gets in the way but Episode 10 is now out on Apple and Spotify.

We had fun in a real studio for this one, including headphones that allegedly didn't work (it helps if you turn them on) giggles over silly mistakes but we also covered a lot of ground. We checked in with our fictitious character Jacqueline and also discussed what times of insurance a business should have and why you need a budget.

Tune in - we'd love to get some feedback
