Company culture is one of the most talked-about topics in leadership. It’s also one of the most misunderstood.

In this episode, I challenge the idea that the CEO owns the culture. Too often, culture becomes something that’s dictated from the top or shaped around a single personality. When that happens, it creates fragility, dependency, and long-term problems for the business.

This episode is a candid rant about the relationship between culture, leadership, and strategy. We explore why culture shouldn’t bend to the CEO, why changing leaders doesn’t automatically fix cultural issues, and how top-down thinking quietly undermines performance.

We also unpack a powerful perspective from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and what it really means to be a curator of culture rather than a controller of it.

If you’re a CEO, founder, or senior leader wrestling with culture, engagement, or alignment, this conversation will help you rethink where culture truly comes from and how it should evolve alongside strategy.

Your website is one of the most powerful growth tools in your business. Yet for many leaders, it becomes a digital brochure rather than a commercial engine.

In this episode, I’m joined by Jess Williams, co-founder of Design in the Shires, an award-winning website design and digital marketing agency based in Malvern, Worcestershire.

Together, we unpack what actually makes a website work for a business. Not just how it looks, but how it connects, converts and supports long-term growth.

We explore the role of personal experience in web design, why SEO still matters more than most business owners realise, and how website performance, graphic design and digital marketing all need to work together rather than in silos.

You’ll also hear practical insight into the differences between marketing for local businesses versus national brands, plus clear takeaways business leaders can apply straight away.

If you’re a founder, business owner or leader wondering whether your website is helping or quietly holding you back, this conversation will help you see it differently.
