This weeks podcast starts a little differently as there is some tension between Chris & Helen. Chris calls it out and the pair start this weeks episode with let's say some disagreements.

They discuss what an Entrepreneur is, both the actual definition but also how the pair see this person differently.

They ask each other if they would start a business again knowing what they know now.

Chris gives a little insight into what it's actually like running a business, it isn't all a bed of roses as many people would have you believe.

Helen shares how she had to make a difficult call at the start of her business owner journey and how it's shaped her for dealing with similar situations.

In this weeks episode Chris finds his inner Victor Meldrew and complains about how he is still feeling ill after weeks and is totally fed up of this awful weather. And why is January the longest month of the year?

Helen talks about her passion for fashion and how women are subjected to negative comments about how they look and what they wear where as men seem to not to have these comments.

Helen goes on further to talk about how impactful what you wear actually is, not only does it change how people perceive you but also it can have an positive or negative impact on how you feel.

Why do we all use acronyms and how many of us just make them up on the spot? And is it okay to say to someone you don't know what that means?

Chris's quick tip of the day is to stand when making phone calls and he explains why and how it can help.

Helen's constant thread throughout is can I sing this section 🤣.

The pair are back with their first episode of 2025 in the same studio, discussing the same topics relating to business but a few pounds heavier after all the Christmas festivities.

In this episode Chris & Helen talk all about the importance of brand consistency, how you can achieve it and why if you haven't already need to make time to get this right before it's too late.

Chris talks about a current customer of Two Kraken's that is going through a re-brand at present and how the customer understands the true value of getting it right where so business owners unfortunately don't. Is that due to a lack of education on design agencies part?

The pair briefly touch on SOP's (Standard Operating Procedures) and why it's important to have them, even when you only have 1 staff member as well urging all listeners to build at least a word document for a basic brand guidelines document to get them started.

Helen ends the show telling Chris that her mom listens to the podcast and says and quote "We waffle". How will Chris react?
