Your Data, Your AI, Not Public (with @Paul Barney)
Your Data, Your AI, Not Public (with @Paul Barney) Most boards want AI. Few want their client files indexed on the open web. If you run a firm that handles confidential documents, here is how you use AI without leaking anything that matters. Why this matters if you run a serious business Every week a new story breaks. Sensitive client data uploaded to ChatGPT by mistake. A law firm partner who fed a merger document into an open model. A wealth manager who copied portfolio notes into a public AI chat and forgot the conversation history lives on a server somewhere in California. The damage is quiet at first. Then a regulator asks questions. A client spots their information in the wrong place. Trust evaporates. You protect sensitive data without losing AI capability You get clear answers from your own files without uploading sensitive data to the public internet. Your team asks real questions about business intelligence, risk or customer trends and the AI reads only what you already own. Nobody outside your four walls sees a single line. You build institutional memory, not prompt history You build a private knowledge layer that grows more valuable each quarter, not a trail of prompts scattered across ChatGPT. Every indexed document, every query, every answer stays inside your secure perimeter. Compliance officers sleep better. Clients stay longer. You pass audits without panic Compliance stays clean because nothing leaves the secure perimeter you control. When an auditor arrives, you can show exactly where
Stop queuing at HR, write to the COO Who answers fastest in a big firm? Operations. COOs
Stop queuing at HR, write to the COO Who answers fastest in a big firm? Operations. COOs HR inboxes are crowded. Your email gets buried under policy questions, benefits queries, and a hundred other requests. If you want to move fast in a large corporate, HR is rarely the clean path. But there is one. Operations teams live and die by throughput. COOs and Directors of Operations manage performance, handoffs, blockers, and missed targets. They care about what moves the needle now. When you pitch them crisp outcomes, not fluffy coaching speak, you skip the queue and land in the right inbox. Why this matters if you run a serious business • You stop wasting time chasing the wrong decision maker in big firms. • You craft proposals that speak to operational pain, not abstract HR programmes. • You position your service as a performance fix, not a training add-on. • You shorten the sales cycle because Ops teams can greenlight pilots faster than HR committees. • You build credibility with the people who control budgets for results, not headcount admin. Key ideas in this video • COOs and Directors of Operations feel the pain of missed targets, low engagement, and slow cycle times every single day. • HR inboxes are swamped. You get lost in the noise. • Operations care about throughput, engagement, performance, and hitting goals. That is their language. • If you can reach the CEO or a managing partner, great. But Ops is often the cleaner,
Properties North Rising, South Softening: Deals Win in Divided Market
Not financial or legal advice. Do your own checks. Published 9 Nov 2025. The property market doesn’t shout. It corrects. The UK housing landscape is entering a quiet period of division, north rising, south softening, and deals winning in between. If you’re running a business above £5M, the decisions you make now will decide whether you’re buying low or selling late. Why This Matters If You Run a Serious Business You don’t speculate. You acquire assets that generate returns or support long-term positioning. The property market is fracturing by geography and buyer class, which creates opportunity if you know where to look. The north is outperforming the south. Properties in the £80,000 to £150,000 range are moving fast. Stock is tight. Demand is high. First-time buyers are entering. Downsizers who locked into five-year fixes during the 2019–2020 boom are now refixing and realising they can downsize with equity intact. Yield-hungry investors are circling the same bracket. These are not emotional buyers—they’re transactional. That means less volatility, faster completions, and stronger rental coverage if you’re building a portfolio. The south, especially the higher bands, is cooling. Stamp duty thresholds are dragging the £400,000+ market. High-priced stock in areas like London and the South East is taking longer to shift. Sellers who priced optimistically six months ago are now stuck. This creates a buyer’s market for those with liquidity and patience. If you’re looking at commercial conversions, mixed-use opportunities, or premium rentals, the south will reward strategic entry over the next 12
Above or below the line? From my chat with @katierocker, a simple check that shifts results.
Above or below the line? From my chat with @katierocker, a simple check that shifts results. You know the pause before you speak in a tense meeting? The split second when you decide whether to defend or to ask? That is not noise, it is the difference between chaos and clarity. Katie Rocker calls it above the line or below the line. Simple as that. Why this matters if you run a serious business You stop guessing what your team is thinking and start building a shared language for pressure. You shift from reactive blame to calm response, and that changes how decisions land. Your authority no longer depends on volume, it comes from composure under pressure. You build trust faster because people see you choose clarity over ego. Your leadership becomes repeatable, not a personal gamble each time. Key ideas in this video Above the line: open, curious, creative, responsive. You listen before you lock in. Below the line: need to be right, hold info, gossip, self-serving. You react before you think. We bias below the line under pressure. It is wired in. The move is not shame, it is notice, then shift. Ask before you speak: Am I open or defending? Do I need to be right, or do I want the truth? Can I respond, not react? Shift in 30 seconds: Pause. One slow breath. Name it: “I am below the line.” Choose one switch: curiosity, generosity, or clarity. Ask one clean question. Then listen. Run this
Still think life insurance can wait? Today I asked, What does life insurance actually mean?
Not financial or legal advice. Do your own checks. Published 2025-12-07. Still think life insurance can wait? Today I asked, What does life insurance actually mean? Most business owners think about life insurance someday. After the big deal closes. After the market settles. After they feel less busy. But if you run a serious firm, someday is a luxury you cannot afford. One unexpected event and everything you built can become a burden for the people you wanted to protect. Why this matters if you run a serious business You stop leaving your family’s future to chance. Protection becomes a decision, not a hope. Your business continuity stays intact. Partners and key people know their families are covered if something happens. You remove the guilt. No more mental weight from putting this off month after month. You separate emotion from practicality. Insurance is not pessimism, it is planning. Key ideas in this video Life insurance works like a seatbelt. You do not expect a crash, but you click it every time because danger comes from angles you cannot predict. Nobody drives without a seatbelt anymore. The same logic applies to protecting your income and your family. A simple policy can give your family clarity and stability when they need it most, not chaos and financial pressure. Putting it off feels easier today. But waiting means your family might face impossible choices tomorrow. The best time to sort this was five years ago. The second best time is now. Less panic
Still overlooked online? Reviews fix that. Online Notary Services in all states and across borders.
Why this matters if you run a serious business • You stop guessing how strangers will judge you online. Your Google Business Profile becomes your quiet proof. • Attorneys, notaries, and other licensed professionals trust reviews more than promises. Five stars open doors. • Organic enquiries replace cold outreach. Clients find you when they need you, already half convinced. • You compound trust. Every new review builds on the last. Momentum grows without extra ad spend. • You win the 0.5 second test. A tidy profile, real face, real reviews make the choice easy. Key ideas in this video • A friend set up Melissa’s Google Business Profile on the spot. Simple move, big shift. • She asked every client for a review. No fancy system. Just asked. • Result: steady stream of organic enquiries. Attorneys keep coming back. • Two takeaways: be findable (set up your profile properly), and ask for proof (five star reviews make strangers feel safe). • Your digital first impression decides things in 0.5 seconds. Show your face. Show your proof. Make the choice easy. Be findable, ask for proof, and let trust compound quietly. How to apply this to your own business If you run a professional services firm, a consultancy, or any business where trust decides the sale, this matters. First, check your Google Business Profile. Is it complete? Does it have your real photo, correct hours, and a clear description? If not, tidy it now. Second, ask every happy client for a
Nicky J Davies and I were talking about visibility
Nicky J Davies and I were talking about visibility When it comes to building quiet authority as a business founder, most advice misses one crucial detail: showing your face is not enough. You need to show up where your buyers actually notice you. This short video addresses the real test for visibility in B2B, whether you run a law firm, an advisory practice, or a serious consultancy in London. People buy from people. That means founder videos matter more than you think. Why this matters if you run a serious business You stop chasing likes and start building genuine trust with prospects who check you out before they call. You replace defensive reactions with calm, chosen responses that signal control, not chaos. You earn respect faster because people see leadership in small, repeated habits, not one off posts. You shorten sales cycles because prospects who watch your videos feel like they already know you. You avoid burnout by breaking the loop of constant firefighting and urgent replies. Key ideas in this video Founder videos deliver 4x to 20x more engagement than company posts, because real faces drive real connection. People buy from people, even in B2B. Trust is built face to face, and video is the closest you get before the first call. Studies show you need to appear at least 11 times in 90 days for prospects to recognise and remember you. Consistency wins. LinkedIn has become a video first platform, with vertical formats now delivering results that rival
Handbrake on, reacting not leading?
Handbrake on, reacting not leading? This short clip addresses a simple pattern that stops most business leaders in their tracks: reacting to the world instead of choosing your response. If you run a serious firm, this quiet skill can be the difference between a frantic year and one where you steer your own course. Katie Rocker from LPV.Agency explores how catching yourself in reactive moments gives you back control. It is not about suppressing emotion. It is about noticing what is happening, choosing your words, and building both yourself and the other person in the process. Why this matters if you run a serious business You stop letting other people’s urgency hijack your week. You replace defensive reactions with deliberate, chosen responses. You earn more respect because people sense you are in control, not scrambling. You shorten sales cycles because prospects trust someone who leads, not reacts. You avoid burnout by breaking the loop of constant firefighting. When you operate from a place of reaction, your business feels chaotic. Every email feels urgent, every client request feels like a crisis, and you end up working in your business instead of on it. Leadership means holding steady when others panic. Key ideas in this video Notice the surge: Catch the moment you feel reactive. Ask yourself what you actually need right now. This is self awareness in real time. 10 to 20 second reset: Simple tactic to rub two fingers together and bring your mind back to the present. It breaks

SEO honest. He shows the plan, teaches the team, then hands it over in three months. If you run a serious business in the UK, the good is not the same as the slick. This short video from John JB Russell cuts straight through the noise. No fluff, no tricks, just a calm reminder that confidence without arrogance is what separates those who grow from those who wait. Why this matters if you run a serious business You stop guessing what to say and start trusting what you deliver. You learn to hear the real objection, not the polite version people hide behind. You build a quiet reputation that lasts, not one built on volume. You show up on time, competitive, and clear, never sloppy. You give people proof before they have to ask for it. Key ideas in this video Mark Kirby says it plainly: go in confident, then listen. People rarely say no, they give excuses. Look beneath the line. Assume it works, then find what’s missing. The difference is you: your core, your word, your delivery. In the UK, many fear success. That hesitation costs growth. Be competitive, on time, and clear. Never say cheap. In the difference is you: your core, your word, your delivery. Less shouting on social, more quiet respect in the boardroom. If you want a quiet system like this running in the background, book a Reputation Review with LPV.Agency.

Seven hours before they buy that is the trust tax. So keep showing up with value, short and human.
Seven hours. That is how long, on average, someone needs to see you, hear you, and follow you before they trust you enough to buy. In my chat with Ash, we called it the trust tax. You cannot skip it, and you cannot shortcut it. The only way through is to keep showing up. Short, clear, human. If you run a £5M business or a professional services firm, this matters. Your buyers are senior. They are careful. They expect authority, not volume. They want to see consistency, not a splash. Why this matters if you run a serious business You stop wasting time on random tactics and commit to a clear, repeatable system. Your audience begins to binge your content, building trust faster than a one off campaign ever could. You build a halo of proof around your name, quiet and steady. You shorten the sales cycle because people arrive already familiar with your thinking. You command respect before the first meeting even starts. Key ideas in this video The trust tax is seven hours. Before someone buys from you, they need roughly seven hours of exposure. That could be videos, articles, social posts, or podcasts. You cannot skip this. Consistency beats one off splashes. A single big campaign does not build trust. Regular, simple content does. Stack simple lessons, not slogans. Teach one thing per piece of content. Let people binge your clarity. Speak like you would to a client over coffee. Drop the jargon. Talk like a human.
Business Just Changed Forever, Here Is Why
A New Era of Trust-Based Marketing We are drowning in noise. Every day, we face 4,000 to 10,000 ads. Most of it is forgettable. Your prospects vote with their attention, and they vote where the trust lives. Two of my clients landed their biggest deals of their careers after months of simply showing up weekly with proof, not promises. Why This Matters If You Run a Serious Business You stop competing on price alone. When trust is built week after week, your value becomes clear without explaining it. Your sales cycles shrink. Prospects arrive warmed up because they already know how you think and solve problems. You become the default choice. Weekly authority content means you sit in their mind when they need your solution. You build a quiet machine. One planned video per week turns into a system that works while you focus on delivery. You attract better clients. Serious buyers respect consistency and substance over gimmicks. Key Ideas in This Video Business just changed forever. We are bombarded by thousands of ads daily, and trust now matters more than volume. The stock market analogy. One in two companies are at risk in today’s volatile economy. The same is true for businesses that do not adapt. Vote with your money. People vote where trust lives. If they trust you, they buy from you. Cyber attacks, new budgets, invoices not paid. The pressures on businesses are real, and clients seek certainty in uncertain times. Record one short, planned video each
Real beats polished. Consistency builds trust.
Real beats polished. Consistency builds trust. Most buyers do not fall in love with your logo. They decide whether to trust you by watching how you show up, week after week, when nobody is forcing you to. In this clip with Ash Vadolia, we talk about why serious firms start with values, mission, and vision before they make anything that faces the market. If you run a £5M–£20M business in London, your clients are not scrolling for perfection. They are scanning for congruence. Does the person on camera sound like the person they would meet in the boardroom. Does the message line up across video, website, deck, and proposal. Why this matters if you run a serious business You stop chasing shiny creative and build assets that feel like one calm, consistent story. Your market sees the same values in every touchpoint, so trust grows quietly in the background. Your team know what “on brand” actually means, so content gets easier to brief and approve. Your videos work harder, because they match the tone and promises in your proposals. You become the steady, recognisable option, not the loud, forgettable one. Key ideas in this video [00:05] Start with values, mission, and vision – before lights, cameras, or scripts, you clarify why the firm exists and how it behaves. The videos then feel like a natural extension, not an add-on. [00:20] One language across all assets – the words you use on video, on the website, in pitch decks, and in

Too busy working to grow? Thats how profit shrinks.
Too busy working to grow? Thats how profit shrinks. When you are deep in client work, the weeks blur together. Projects finish. You feel relief for a day. Then panic sets in because no new work is starting. That is how profit shrinks. If you do not build a system that keeps the pipeline full while you deliver, you stay stuck in a cycle where revenue drops every time you focus on delivery. Why this matters if you run a serious business You stop gambling on referrals and control when leads arrive. You know the exact timeline from first contact to signed contract, so you can plan capacity. Your cashflow tightens because you can predict when projects start and when invoices go out. You can raise prices confidently because your pipeline proves you have demand. You work on your business, not just in it, which is the only way to scale past £2M. Key ideas in this video [00:05] Finishing projects without new ones starting creates dangerous cashflow gaps. [00:12] Working harder on delivery does not solve the growth problem, it makes it worse. [00:18] Delivery mode dries up your pipeline because you are not nurturing or following up. [00:24] Growth stops when cashflow tightens and the weeks get loud with worry. [00:30] A proper CRM shows exactly how long it takes to turn a lead into a client. [00:35] Knowing your numbers means you can predict when to follow up, when to push, and when to close. [00:38] Calm,
