Podcast trailer

Hi, Mel here,

Ben and I went back to our roots on Monday by using whatsapp voicenotes to record our recap. Hence the varying audio levels... SORRY 😬

This was the last Barfield & McKinney in its current form because as of next month we’ll be recording proper podcast episodes under our new name...

Indie Business Club Podcast

Which will be properly audio produced by lovely Ant Henderson, who’s also created us a bespoke theme tune. There’s a heavy 00s rock/indie influence as you’ll hear.

Thanks to everyone who voted on our logo, there was a clear winner in option B (hooray, my preference too!)

We’re working on the website, hopefully we’ll be ready to launch it soon.

Back to the recap. When we spoke about balance, we concluded that (as with almost every topic we cover) it depends on where you draw the line.

If you draw a line at all. Some people (me, I’m some people) advocate looking at it as one big mess of life. We both had some lightbulb moments though, which is a happy by-product of us doing these chats.

Ben - oh dear, I need to find balance again especially with baby 3 on the way.

Mel - lockdown life is partly responsible for my blurry lines between work/life.

Do you have a good sense of balance between Business You and Family/Friends You?

We’re now planning our first few episodes of Indie Business Club, so let us know which topics you’d like us to cover by replying to this email. 😊

Speak soon,

B&M
