About the show
Business advice from people who actually did it, with the numbers to prove it.
The Boardroom Sessions is a weekly interview show for owners in the messy stretch between day zero and year two. We sit down with one business owner at a time and ask the questions most publications skirt around: what do you charge, what do you actually take home, what nearly killed the business, and what would you do differently.
Instead of big advice directories
We do not publish generic guides written by people who have never run a shop. Every piece of advice here is attached to a named owner and a real business.
Instead of tech-only founder communities
Software is welcome, but so are barbers, joiners, cafés, agencies and market traders. Most British businesses are not startups.
Instead of endless forum threads
Questions turn into structured playbooks with steps you can finish, rather than forty replies you have to sift through.
Instead of glossy venture media
Nobody here has raised millions. The stories are about profitable, sustainable businesses funded out of their own revenue.
How a session works
- Step 1
One sitting
We record for about an hour and publish the answers as given.
- Step 2
Numbers on record
Every guest shares something concrete: turnover, margin, headcount or price.
- Step 3
Three takeaways
Each episode ends with three things another owner can use immediately.
If you run a business, you are qualified to be on this show.
You do not need a growth story or a funding round. A hard year told honestly is worth more to our listeners than a success story told carefully.
