From Virology to Networking - an interview with Stuart Webb Jan 31, 2022

Show notes

I work in all aspects of sales & marketing and financial management, mentoring CEOs and directors to grow and manage their teams, commercialising new products and turning around struggling businesses and projects, particularly those very competent technical business people who want to be better commercially.

I love the excitement of innovation and bringing new businesses to life using all the disciplines I learned as a scientist - and the business tools, techniques and templates I have developed since to ensure business growth.

My early background as a scientist is very different to most in this field and it gave me the foundations which have underpinned consistent success regardless of the type of business I’m supporting. A vital discipline for a scientist is ensuring work is repeatable (the basis of all scientific research) - this has given me a uniquely-proven approach to embed robust thinking and unbreakable formulas as the foundations for business growth. And it works!

When it's hard to talk about what you do - Stuart Green on Cyber Security Dec 27, 2021

Show notes

Stuart describes himself as a “frequently underwhelmed engineer lurking in the murky cybersecurity realm” and is Managing Director of The Armour Group of Companies who are a group of cybersecurity focused businesses. The group’s aim is to help “people” understand the threats relative to them so they can make accurate risk assessments and take the right steps to form their defences against these dark criminals who are hell-bent on pillaging our digital communities BUT an increasingly disturbing amount of time is now being spent helping organisations of all sizes understand WHY they lost the contents of their bank account, lost a load of customer data or had their entire infrastructure encrypted by criminals.

As much of what Stuart does is sensitive, he can't easily talk about what he does at networking meetings. Instead he focusses on helping other people make connections.

Matt 'Handshaking' Holmes Dec 20, 2021

Show notes

Matt Holmes is the World Record holder for the longest handshake between two people - you'll have to listen to the episode to find out how long it was!

His company, not surprisingly is called 'Handshaking', but what is surprising is that it has no clients and doesn't sell any services. It's a very interesting concept and it all came about through networking.
