Love to share our recent blog at CEO Stories Media all about When is the right time to share your CEO story?
Hint: it’s NOW!
”Some might say that a CEO can’t tell their story until after they’ve reached success. Which by all means is true, there has to be some kind of success to become a CEO after all. However ‘success’ as a benchmark for when to tell isn’t very helpful, because who decides what success really looks like. When do you call yourself a success? Surely that marker is different for everyone, and from what I’ve seen is often used far too late. The time to tell your story is now. Trust me.”

Hi! I’m Francesco, I worked for over 10 years in the YouTube industry managing brands like Warner Bros., Adult Swim, and Cartoon Network, I’ve helped generate over 1 billion monthly views on the platform.
I’m working on developing a program for Entrepreneurs, professionals and freelancers to start and take off on YouTube, but I need your help!
I’m conducting interviews to learn more about gains and pains of those who are looking at YouTube as a platform to expand their business and build authority in their respective business niche.
If this resonates with you, I’d love to interview you!
More info in the video below. Thank you 🙂

Oh fun! If you have any sway in getting The Powerpuff Girls back on air, then I’d happily add to your viewing figures
Some fellow YouTube enthusiasts you may wish to connect with: Yalin Solmaz, Marcus Iles, Abba Newbery
Otherwise, interesting concept for a programme – I’m sure lots of our community members would be interested in seeing how it unfolds, so be sure to keep us updated!

Argh! Would love to see many CN and AS shows back on air too! Corporate logics are one weird beast 😅

Happy Monday all. How do you feel about the number of AI meeting note-takers that have burst onto the scene in the last few months? I’ve encountered 11. If you want a Monday giggle, I’ve written about this here – https://www.linkedin.com/posts/faisal-laljee_fridayfun-artificialintelligence-ainotetaking-activity-7265689434266693632-d7y9?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

’It’s the AI, patiently waiting like the overachiever it is’ made me chuckle!
We have used Read in team meetings in the past, which for the summary and action points was pretty darn helpful. But imagine my horror when a moment of ’decrease in engagement’ was highlighted in response to Ben Legg talking, with a still of my grumpy face alongside
I’d love to know how often people actually review the outputs from these tools as, like you say, they seem to be in…

And now Read follows me around the internet and tries to jump on every call that lands in my diary 😲

I’ve been working with a client on a bit of a niche project recently. Making use of OpenResty, Lua, and Fennel!
It reminded me of a simpler time!
Memories of when I first started programming! 🤗
It’s the first time in a while I’ve worked on something that isn’t a SPA and hasn’t been touched in some way by the JavaScript Eco-system!
It’s been great!

These are all terms that massively go over my head, but I love simpler times
Are you able to share details about the project you’ve been working on? We’d love to hear about it!

Thanks for the comment Charlotte!
This project was for a ”techie” client, an internal system that had the freedom for a bit of experimentation with a view to using the technology more widely in the future. Fingers crossed!

” #Wellbeing in the Age of #AI”
About a month ago, I had the privilege of speaking at my alma mater, KIIT – Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology on this. It was truly inspiring to engage with the current students and firsthand witness their enthusiasm, insights, and active involvement.
The session was also a throwback to my own days as a student in the same school. Times change, we evolve, yet something within our core remains unchanged. Both the transformed and constant aspects of ourselves deserve to be cherished—they together shape who we are. This deep self-acceptance is often the foundation of true well-being.
Here is to having may more engaging conversations and building some more great memories together for life! 😊

Today has been a special day that I can announce I am chairman of South Caernarfon Creameries in Wales. My first role and something I am proud of!
Communities like this help everyone, and something we should continue to build as we work to build a portfolio. Reading messages and gaining help has ensured I keep to my development plan and not lose faith.
Everything is possible!

A request to the TPC community. I am working with a mentee who is at very early stages of their business growth.
I want to help my mentee by providing a simple financial model, based around a P&L, where the mentee can enter different input scenarios (e.g. numbers of customers, length of customer relationship in days, price, fixed costs, variable costs) and then see the resulting P&L outputs.
If anyone has a basic financial model template to reflect this I’d be very grateful if you can share this, understanding I may have to adapt certain data points tailored to my mentee.
Thanks, Andrew

fantastic – thank you !

If you need help starting from scratch with assumptions and then P&L and cashflow on a spreadsheet I can help to build a bespoke model.
Colin

Hi Colin – that’s a very kind offer, thank you so much ! I will take a look tomorrow at the model that’s been sent and let you know. I repay appreciate your offer to help. Andrew

I am seeking members advice as to how to present the attached exciting and novel investment opportunity. There is a detailed Excel workbook which sets out the assumptions being made and then the resultant profit and loss accounts projections for five years as well as the cash flow forecast for the same period. I will attach this on a subsequent post.
I look forward to hearing views.
Thanks
Colin

Hi Colin, what an interesting opportunity! At first glance I’d suggest creating a succinct one-pager plus some visuals/stats with the key opportunities and reason to invest. At present I think it’s a little overwhelming and much of the information could be included in an appendix alongside the P&L. Hope that helps and good luck, Karen

Lovely post, Emily! And one that is very relevant – too often stories are lost because people think, ’what do I have to offer’ which is ludicrous to the outside world, but so deeply held by an individual. Fingers crossed more people are willing to open up and share their journeys
