Exciting morning for us – the launch of our first breakfast podcast, the BizNews Bulletin. Please have a listen: click here.
Since ending the commercially unsuccessful (thus unsustainable) BizNews Power Hour in February, we’ve been toying with an alternative. After Lucy Ferreira re-joined us, this time as the executive producer, things started to fall in place.
Our approach is influenced by the late Bill Lynch, SA’s only winner of EY’s World Entrepreneur of the Year, who advised an approach of ‘just do it’. So be kind to us for jumping in with Episode One. I’m really proud of our new-born, but then again which father isn’t?
___STEADY_PAYWALL___Please drop me a line with your comments ([email protected]) esp. on what you think about the new service – and particularly inclusion of the FT’s morning report.
Also, remember to join me at noon for the monthly webinar updating the BizNews portfolio. Will be introducing new stocks. It’s for Premium members only – here’s the link to register: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/7995493949841928719
