Leadership is about people, helping them grow and succeed. Pipâs journey from stuffing envelopes at 19 to becoming CEO of the British Franchise Association proves that curiosity and hard work open doors. She never planned a career in franchising but embraced every challenge, turning setbacks into opportunities. Without a university degree, she upskilled on the job, later completing a business diploma at Warwick. Her passion is making a difference in peopleâs lives.
Stepping into the CEO role was not easy. Imposter syndrome hit hard. But with coaching, she gained confidence, learned to balance hands-on leadership with big-picture strategy, and built a consultative, people-first culture. She believes leadership is not about having all the answers. It is about surrounding yourself with the right people and knowing when to listen.
As the first female CEO of the BFA, Pip faced scepticism in a male-dominated industry. But she proved her worth by delivering results, modernising the association, and championing ethical franchising. Her secret to success is gratitude, resilience, and never losing sight of the people who make it all possible.

What really makes a great leader? Andy Bird breaks it down with powerful insights and real-life lessons. Leadership isnât just about getting things doneâitâs about transformation. He reveals the three keys: Purpose (what change are you driving?), Partnership (how do you bring people with you?), and Performance (can you deliver results?). But hereâs the twistânot all leaders start with purpose. Some find it through collaboration.
Bird shares hard-earned lessons from his own journeyâhow he struggled to engage his team until he realised he was pushing his vision, not theirs. The game changed when they co-created a shared purpose, and suddenly, people werenât just showing upâthey were all in. He took the same approach to company culture, proving that listening, acting on feedback, and ditching top-down control can create an unstoppable team.
But what about bad leadership? Bird exposes the biggest mistake leaders makeâcreating fear. Fear of failure, fear of speaking up. Great leaders challenge people, but they also support them. The best leaders inspire not by being perfect, but by being real. They listen, they adapt, and they set the tone for success. If you want to lead with impact, you donât just need to watch thisâyou need to live it.

In this interview, Pete Wharton, an Ironman competitor and environmental consulting firm owner, dives into his journey of resilience, both in sports and business. He explains that mindset is central to his life, with resilience defined by adapting to challenges, setting goals, and appreciating small wins along the way. Through Ironman races and running his consulting business since 2008, Pete has learned to embrace setbacks as necessary for growth.
Pete also shares insights into his personal struggles, including a late diagnosis of ADHD and dyslexia, which clarified why he often dives into projects with intense focus but can also "stonewall" or tune out. This self-awareness helped him adjust his work habits and embrace flexible schedules, making him more productive and understanding of his own limitations. His transformation journey also includes overcoming unhealthy habits from his youth, and he credits these early struggles with his current commitment to a balanced, resilient lifestyle.
On the importance of openness, Pete speaks about breaking the silence around mental health and personal hardship, especially as an ambassador for the Miscarriage Association. He sees resilience not just as overcoming adversity but also being transparent about struggles, which he models for his kids, rugby team, and colleagues. By sharing his challenges, he hopes to foster connection and inspire others to keep moving forward.

Understand the importance of tracking numbers in business. Tanner OâBrien explains that visibility into your metricsâgood or badâis essential for growth. For small business owners, numbers might seem tedious, but theyâre key for making smart decisions, especially around cash flow. Regularly tracking financials, sales, and marketing metrics can help you see issues early, prepare for challenges, and invest confidently in future growth.
OâBrien stresses that âyou canât manage what you donât measure.â Key metrics like KPIs and KAIs reveal trends and allow quick adjustments, making decision-making clearer and faster. Facing the numbers may take courageâthey tell the truth without sugar-coatingâbut they bring clarity and help avoid emotional, reactive decisions. Monitoring cash flow weekly, for instance, lets you act in advance rather than getting caught off guard.

In this interview, branding expert Jim James discusses how authenticity is crucial for effective marketing. He explains that people connect best with brands that feel genuine. He warns against sounding too polished or disconnected, as customers prefer real connections with the people behind the businesses they support.
Jim stresses that authenticity means aligning actions with values and building trust through transparency. He shares examples, like Joe Hart from Dale Carnegie, who strengthened team trust by being open during tough times. This kind of authenticity, he argues, helps entrepreneurs succeed by keeping them focused on their mission rather than on fame.
Reflecting on his own career, Jim highlights the value of patience, humility, and a genuine purpose in business. Inspired by his grandfatherâs dedication to service, he advises entrepreneurs to focus on adding real value, understanding that lasting success comes from honest connections and persistence.
