Lancashire Business Stories Podcast
Powered by ActionCOACH Bolton
Business stories from the North West of England (and sometimes further afield)
Hear from successful business owners with a great story to tell and from others who you can all learn from.
Take action, watch, listen, learn and implement to grow yourself and your business.
What's this all about then?
Here at ActionCOACH Bolton we have played around with podcasts in the past. You may have heard some episodes of The Business Extra Podcast, which featured our clients and partners, running from 2020 to 2023. That was an audio only pod running which we recorded in the main via Zoom, started during lockdown when we were all desparate for new and interesting ways to talk to people.
Why are we doing this?
Here at ActionCOACH Bolton, we love talking to business owners about their career and how they became an owner, about the challenges they have faced and how they have overcome those challenges on the path to growing (and sometimes exiting) their business.
For our listeners, we want you to enjoy the stories of their journeys, but more importantly learn their lessons so you can apply them in your own business. We'll also hear from business professionals who can offer expert advice on every aspect of business from accountants to commercial law, from GDPR to HR and everywhere in-between.
Do you want to appear?
If you have a great story to tell or have expertise in a specific area that our listeners can learn from and you also want to promote your business to our 10,000+ followers then mail us at bolton@actioncoach.co.uk and we will give you a call. Unfortunately we can't feature every single business that applies (we just haven't got time) but if we can, we will.
The Very First Episode
