MarketPulse: Pros & Pioneers
Your STORY becomes your WHY. Marketpulse is, at heart, about sharing marketing advice and support to those who are either trying to 'DIY' what they're doing, or to help those who are looking for support, to find the right partners, and ask the right questions as they outsource. As we recorded and released season 1 (ending April 2025), we realised, that we're each of us, the product of our journey, story and vision. That's what connects us to our 'why'. As we launch Season 2, we're going to dive deeper into the amazing stories of our guests, to find out exactly what makes them tick - from working with Hollywood producers, to go-Karting with Lewis Hamilton, and from prison to running a £10m business, we've seen it all on our show! If you want to hear the incredible stories of our guests, and advice on finding your own, then tune in, give us a subscribe, and please leave feedback if you enjoy the show!
