VATISTHEPROBLEM, Men's Mental Health & Something I've Been Struggling With

from Business Diaries - Real Startup Stories

In this solo episode, I'm sharing a few things that have been on my mind lately. I talk about the growing support behind VATISTHEPROBLEM.co.uk, why I believe VAT is holding back small businesses across the UK, and what we're doing to push the conversation forward. It's also Men's Mental Health Month, so I wanted to speak openly about the importance of checking in with ourselves and the people around us. I also open up about something I've personally been struggling with recently - the difficult decision to re-home my dog and the emotions that have come with it. On top of that, I share my thoughts on the incredible feedback the podcast has been receiving, how much it means to me, and some exciting plans I have for the future of the channel.
