Janet Lacey and (another!) Mark Harris guest on The Business Show 18th Feb 2021

The Business Show which was broadcast live on Marlow FM 97.5 on 18th Feb 2021 is now available here, with copyright material such as the news, adverts and music edited out.
My guests on this show were Janet Lacey and Mark Harris.  That’s not a typo – there were two people called Mark Harris on this show! 

You can connect with both guests via https://www.linkedin.com/in/janet-lacey-stelling-24034911/ and https://www.linkedin.com/in/markharrismarketing/ respectively if you want to talk to either of them about their day job, or indeed about today’s show.
What sort of holiday don’t I want?  Find out at https://youtu.be/fUNTk5xsxk4, which was the opening track of the show.
I start the show by talking to Janet Lacey about her business, details of which you can find at https://thelaceys.notjusttravel.com/ and yes, it’s been a tough year for the travel sector, but things are indeed looking up with people booking up.
Mark Harris (the other one!) then talks with me about his business – Marketing Boost – about which you can find out more at http://www.marketingboost.co.uk/ including the marketing coaching that they offer, as well as the delivery.
“Free” by Ultra Nate was Mark’s choice of music, for all of the people who now have the freedom to do what they want to do.  You can hear it at https://youtu.be/JgRBkjgXHro.
The offering from Buckinghamshire Business First detailed at https://bbf.uk.com/be-your-own-boss was the start point for our first business conversation, and we generally agreed it would have been great if we’d been offered something like that when we started our respective businesses.  We each also disclose the one thing we wish we’d known before we started – what would we have told our younger selves.
Janet’s music choice was “Leaving On a Jet Plane” by John Denver – no prizes for guessing why!  You can hear it at https://youtu.be/SneCkM0bJq0 - 22 million people already have.
Janet’s business news choice was https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/feb/10/salesforce-office-in-person-work-tech which talks about the change from face-to-face working and the change from 9-5 working, so that’s what we talk about.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56023932 will take you to Mark’s choice of story for us to discuss – is the world of business changing such that we’re taking order from an AI system, rather than from a person?
There aren’t may songs about marketing or involving the word boost, so for Mark I played us out with a song by another Harris – “Summer” by Calvin Harris - you can find it at https://youtu.be/ebXbLfLACGM which has a mere 1.4 billion views so far.
I hope you enjoy the show!
