Prior planning and preparation prevent p*ss poor performance…

Are you a planner like Tony? Always prepared for every eventuality and when things go off -piste, you feel like you’ve fallen off a cliff? Or would you describe yourself as a free spirit like Em, a lover of spontaneity and surprises?

Either way, preparation can be the key to so many aspects of life but being over prepared can cost you too!

Come on in, we promise its not all serious.

The duo meander through public toilets, The Edinburgh Fringe, decide whether Tony is a bad friend or not and give a couple of epic shout outs!

How do you keep going when you’ve zero left in the tank?

Loz and Em literally run this week on the regular as they’re rubbish at remembering to fill up with diesel!

This week’s episode has been inspired by Loz’s training runs for her marathon in October as a few weeks ago she nearly rang a taxi 13 miles into a 16-mile run!

BUT she did not do this, instead, she changed the plan and NOT the goal, walking up hills, grabbing a Lucozade from a shop and jogging (very slowly) back…

Things don’t always go to plan, and it can knock our confidence, making us reluctant to keep going…

You don’t have to go it alone, in business or marathon training, ask for help, revisit your purpose & why and collaborate with other biz owners if you’re a solopreneur

Also covered are mouldy pitta bread and gluten-free wraps, Kate Bush, talking slowly, spa days, burnout and birthdays!

You’ll be running a marathon in no time, with this inspirational motivating podcast! Yeehaaaaa!

If you wanna be our client, you gotta get with our team…

Make it last forever, RECRUITMENT NEVER ENDS! 😁

You’re in for a treat today guys! This episode is BURSTING with passion and excitement for the sisters…

Back together once again!

You’ll feel all fired up after listening to them campaign for positive recruitment as they care deeply about this shizzle, which is why they’re donning their capes and..

Offering a new service of recruitment director!

Recruitment isn’t just for when you’re hiring, it’s an all the time, all year-round job and campaign – you should always be thinking of candidate attraction and looking after your existing team! 🙌🏻

It costs way less to care for your people and keep them, than it does to hire and train new folk!

There’s singing and joy, talk of sports days and dog bedrooms, plus wardrobe malfunctions and unicorns!

Can money buy you happiness?

It’s a controversial topic as it depends on what you’re driven by and how you define success…

Some will argue that you can money and material things can buy and bring joy and happiness 💓

Others will argue that no matter how much money & things you have, it cannot ever buy happiness.

Today’s pod is all about knowing your worth & how you define success, which manifests in so many different ways for people! How do you even know when you’re successful? Is it a journey or a destination?🤔

Also covered, are whether you should discount, how to ask for a pay rise, Loz’s obsession with horse racing, Hyrix training and lots of singing!

And the difference between Material Girl and Mysterious Girl…😃 You’ll learn a lot and laugh HEAPS!

Who would you walk 500 miles for?

Or at least go the EXTRA mile for and go above and beyond…

Could be your mates, family, employees, fellow team members, or your CUSTOMERS! 🙋‍♀️

Which is what Loz & Tony are discussing in today’s episode – it’s all about customer experience 💗

Something that’s very close to both of their hearts!

They cover what a positive customer experience is, why it’s important and share their own experiences! The good, the bad and the downright ugly! 😊

Expect talk of Ibiza, Calvin Harris, Loz being verbally abused, praising the lord, sports bras and event venues!

With a lorra laughs thrown in for good measure!

Today you’ve got a good old dose of Tony and Em coming in your ears!

The hot topic is staff morale and is something everyone sees as super important at Fresh 💚

The business wouldn’t be what it is without the incredible humans who choose to be there.

And so, they’re rewarded massively!

Are you doing enough for your employees?

Is retention keeping you up at night?

Well, come on in for lots of top tips on how to keep hold of your folk.

And of course the pair meander through a range of topics; shark attacks, a potential charity sports day, how to entertain a very mobile 1 year old on a flight, power cuts and more

It’s all about balance 😌

If you’ve not heard about The Freshies - Fresh Perspective’s charity awards extravaganza 🤪

Then you must be living under a small rock!

The team welcomed over 300 guests, raised £17,000 for charity and gave out 17 awards to local superstars for being, well, super!

As well as dancing the night away to some superbly talented musicians.

Join Em and Tony in this week’s episode where they show gratitude and give thanks to each and every (almost) magical human that made this year’s event so fecking special.

TRIGGER WARNING - maybe this should go at the start

Em does open the poddie talking about her fella’s huge neck blister - think Dr Pimple Popper and you’ll probably guess the outcome. No photos are shared 😉

Todays’ episode is a haphazard affair!

Loz and Em are giddy kippers as they’re hosting their annual charity awards, The Freshies, tonight! EEK! 😬

They struggled to focus on imparting any kind of advice, guidance and wisdom today and send their apologies! LOL

They’re super excited as they have more than 300 guests arriving later at a new venue…

Because they needed a bigger boat! 🛶

Which is double the number of last year and they’re hoping to raise £20,000 for charity! Woop!

If you fancy coming along, you’re too late this year, sorreeeee!

But they’ll be doing it all again next year so keep your eyes peeled 👀

The sisters open this week’s episode with a rendition of Kanye’s, Stronger with a slight change to some lyrics! Can you guess which ones? 😉

Recent feedback suggests that apparently Loz and Em don’t talk about their magical recruitment ways enough and so get a load of this!

With live examples on how they’ve saved their clients a tonne of money, provided better candidates than ever before, given them an education on how to be better at recruitment and have done this with urgency and pace!

What’s stopping you from getting in touch!

This is turning into a sales pitch so let’s change direction 😁

The duo meander through an Ibizan altercation, the UK’s nursery epidemic, weddings with toddlers and Emily’s big surprise!

How important is positive karma?

VERY!

Do good things and good things will happen and people remember how you made them feel…

It’s not as pink and fluffy as you think either, so if it’s not your jam -do it anyway!

Your business will benefit from it – your brand and reputation will improve, making it easier to attract the right clients…

AND attract and hire new talent, as well as retain your current team.

Practicing positive karma applies to all areas of your life – business, sales, customer relations, hiring and employee engagement…

As well as in your personal life!

Charity events, pool tournaments, Teslas, and glamping are just some of the other topics covered today!

Recruiters are…If you Googled this, don’t expect it to be positive!It makes Loz and Em cry themselves to sleep 😔Trash, shady, sociopaths and not your friends are the top results!Which is why Loz & Em wanted to create Fresh 🍏To focus on all the positives and make your recruitment experience fun, effective and value for money!There’s a fair bit of singing on this one and they do get a tad passionate at times! 😬The Freshies Charity Awards, Networking with a Twist, naughty LinkedIn posts and the pug rescue are also covered…The Fresh team add heaps of value, save you time AND money, all whilst…Ensuring you enjoy the process and have a laugh doing so…Whilst focusing on finding you the RIGHT people that will stay with you, truly helping you grow your businessOperating with kindness, respect and integrity at all times!Except for a little swearing 🤣Even if you’re not recruiting, you’ll DEF enjoy this podcast!

Nahh, YOU’RE AMAZING just as you are! But we can all improve a bit, right?The Leyland's are back with a bang, celebrating queen Laura’s birthday on the first episode of 2023! She’s only 29, would you believe it?Happy New Year!January is often seen as a dull, gloomy, and bleak time but Loz and Em disagree…Instead, why not look at the first month of the year as a clean slate, a time to make positive changes and STICK TO THEM, but this means chilling out on the resolutions and making them super manageable – why not join the sisters at the Berlin marathon 🤣Vicky’s Fresh-a-versary, tequila, dry (ish) January, Fresh-working and so much more is on offer here, come on in!

Name a better TV show?OK, STOP, there are loads, it's actually quite rubbish, so let’s get to the point!Emily and Laura love to compare recruitment to dating, and there are several reasons why.Creating a 50/50 environment, not moving too fast and going in for a snog 5 mins in, not scaring folk into submission (yet), meeting on equal ground, finding out about each other in a relaxed and informal way and so on…See, it's sounding like how recruitment should be done already!Tony and Em were tasked with writing dating bio’s for each other on this week’s episode (CALM DOWN, neither are on the market so back off!)Why though? Well listen in for more, you will leave the show educated on dating and recruitment and just life in general 😊The dreading LinkedIn ban, Christmas market p*ss up’s, dating excellence, mulled wine mishaps, etc. make up 55% of this week’s show, as always there’s something for everyone!

Come on in and all will be revealed…The winter World Cup and its weirdness, Uganda V’s Canada (apparently), a renegade African Grey parrot, Christmas at Dunham Massey and more pop up heavily in this week’s episode of A Fresh Perspective on Business!

No, this isn’t a new and improved Loreal advert, but it could be arranged… just say the word!

Before we go any further… you are worthy – don’t let anyone make you think different!

How is this related to recruitment?

Well, this is how candidates should feel during the hiring process with you!

Recruitment is 50/50 and companies should be focused on making a good impression rather than expecting this to be all on the candidate. Don’t worry, the sisters have got your back and will show you the light…

Oh and of course, some random things happen; an update on Cheryl Tweedy/Cole, chats about Blackpool’s Illuminations, public speaking experiences and a dabble in a song or two!

You’re now listening to 2022 award winners don’t you know 😉 so of course, Fresh Perspective are shining bright like diamonds!

AND the office Christmas tree is up so the team are even more sparkly!

Today’s episode is about employer branding…

What’s that you say?

Well, dear listener, this is how you market yourself/ your company to potential candidates in order to grow!

Job specs, adverts, social media, websites, Google, etc. are the places you should be repping to show people who you are and why they should come and join your gang!

So, if you’re currently in the process of hiring, this is the episode for you!

We also discuss cold water swimming, new bed bliss, The Freshies 2023 (obvs) and lots more, so there’s something for everyone!

High quality trotters…

Was the phrase of today’s podcast!! 🤣

But you’ll have to listen to understand…

Today’s episode is all about customer service and how to improve it…

It’s not as difficult as some folks seem to think!

Looking after your people is absolutely vital when it comes to them looking after your customers…

And Loz is very passionate about this!

The duo give some awesome advice to all those people wondering how to improve customer service in their business…

And Loz has been out and about with her big cheque spreading joy to charities with donations…

With the profits from the Freshies Awards!

Which are now live for nominations 🙌🏻

Also expect chats about Mr Motivator, networking, spas and much much more!

I’m having such a good time; I’m having a ball!

Is what we all want our customers, team, co-workers and general family and friends to think…

During and after they’ve worked with or spent time with us! 🙌🏻

Or in any area of their life really…

No one wants to wait anymore, speed is of the essence

Whether it’s in Aldi, the passport control queue or for an internet connection…

We’re quick to respond to sales leads – or certainly should be!

So, why do businesses expect candidates to wait for them?

Hhhmmmmm

Listen in to their top tips!

Also included is a spot of singing, talk of awards, abseiling, feet and a last-minute dash to the airport!

Loz and Tony are guaranteed to make you laugh!

Ooo we love a bit of Shakespeare at Fresh, don’t you know!

Did you know that the average person on Only Fans earns 150$ p/m, whereas if you’re a top hitter, you could be bringing home up to 1000$ every month! Wowsers!

Em didn’t mean to stumble onto facts about this rather extra subscription service but when researching networking, this came up on top 😉 who knew…

Anyway, back to today’s topic! Are you a fan? Does it make you quake in your boots or are you the social butterfly you always believed you’d be?

Tony and Em are total opposites, one networks like a kid in a sweet shop and the other would rather stick pins in their eyes – can you guess which ones which?

Don’t worry if networking’s not for you, we have much more on offer here; off-the-wall secret Santa ideas, business awards, The Freshies 2023, alternative networking groups and more…

Em, Tony and Lenny are back in the recording studio on this fine Friday morning for plenty of shi*s and giggles, woohoo!

Trust is the theme of the week but of course this is wrapped up in many a layer of random topics and musings…

Do you trust instantly or does trust need to be earnt in your neck of the woods?

The world of recruitment is saturated with stereotypes and mistrust and the team at Fresh are doing their bit at changing this for the better! Yeahhhh 💪🏻

Come on in for more on this and…

Don’t be a d*ck merch, tips on how to make the most out of Halloween, moral victories, car robberies, big deals and more!

When the going gets tough, the tough get going! 💪🏻

Life and business are unfortunately not always sunshine and roses 😢

But it’s how you deal with the challenges, knock backs and hurdles that will define you as a person, business owner or leader ❤️

Being good in a crisis helps…

And having the courage to stand up for yourself and what you believe to be right…

As well as having the backs of those important to you…

It’s a tough subject this week, but Loz and Em sprinkle it with their usual joy, positivity and talk of Halloween costumes…

It’s important to stand up to bullies, otherwise, they just keep spreading their darkness

And they must be stopped!

So, whether you choose to not stoop to their level, kill with kindness or fight…

The girls have got your back! 👏

We are the champions, my friends… 🎵

And we'll keep on fighting till the end 💪🏻

Come on, sing the song with us!!

We feel like this at the moment, as we’ve been through the mill this week…

AND our team are absolutely CHAMPIONS!

Warriors, legends and all-round ace people!

Today’s episode is all about looking after your people and team building…

We’re fresh from our team trip to Nice! And we had a blast! 🥳

Along with their top team tips, Em and Loz regale you with their funny stories, and wonderful singing.

And an impromptu game of Heads Up!

They’ve seemingly banished Tony G this week so they could have some quality sister time!

It’s been a while!!

Who’s feeling lazy at the min?

The change in weather has even dampened the positive spirits of the Fresh team!

Which is no easy task!

But to get out o their funk they talk to each other...

Do 80s dance classes and sing along to dirty dancing 🤣

Topics discussed in this episode are having a wax with a hangover..

Halloween party costumes (what do you think they’re dressing up as?!), train strikes and restaurant recommendations!

The team are also on the hunt for sponsors for their awards, The Freshies

And the theme this week is the silent resignation..

Oooohhh what a juicy topic!

Please join them, they’ll certainly lift your spirits!

Who remembers LunchMoney Lewis?

Was he a one hit wonder?

Either way, he makes a good point!

We all got bills we need to pay – more so than ever before!

In today’s episode, Loz & Tony talk about a LOT of shizz but the topic is the cost of living crisis…

Which is quite heavy for them! They need to be serious 🤣

But before they got into that they sang, laughed and talked about…

The Fresh team coming second at the BIBA awards!

Laura getting swilled, their team trip to Nice, surprise celebrity acts and having to deal with your enemies!

It’s a corker!!

What are you scared of?

Em’s scared of in-person networking..

Loz is (bizarrely) terrified of public speaking!

And Tony is scared of heights!

If you’ve not guessed what the theme is this week…

It’s fear and being scared, particularly in your business 😨

There’s so much singing in this one! Loz flies solo and bangs out Lily Allen..

Whilst Em & Tony give Ian Brown a run for his money 🤣

Being scared in your business is a real thing...

Whether it’s making tough decisions, pulling people up on poor performance, addressing a toxic person or atmosphere...

And holding people accountable.

It’s tough, as you’re terrified of upsetting people and people leaving!

BUT it has to be done – you owe it to the rest of your team to do this for THEM 💗

Do you like surprises?

Well, we hope so, as we have one in store for you this week!

The one, the only, EMILY LEYLAND is back baby! 🥳

Bright eyed and bushy tailed, fresh from mat leave...

This is a white lie, she’s knackered from lack of sleep! Haha 🤣

This week's episode is about sharing the love ❤️

Supporting charities, giving back, looking after your local community and working with local businesses where you can!

The team’s infamous awards ceremony The Freshies was an epic event last week! 🌟

AND it’s not-for-profit, with all profits going to their three chosen charities!

Expect a wonderful rendition of the Black Eyed Peas song and a lorra lorra laughs!!

It’s The Freshies Awards TONIGHT!!! Eek! 🥳

The entire Fresh team, Loz, Em and Tony are super excited!

So, on the podcast today there’s a lot of talk about that...

And the theme is REGRETS...

Which, you might think is an odd topic for such an exciting day 😆

But because of Covid and lockdown, the gals nearly hosted The Freshies Awards online last year!

IMAGINE!

It would have been a totally different event for the launch!

But they stuck to their guns and held out for an in-person event 💪🏻

They didn’t want to look back and regret doing it on Zoom!

It’s soooo much better to regret the things you’ve done, than the ones you’ve not!

Is your business diverse?

It’s such a HUGE question..

The gals at Fresh get a tonne of shade on this topic..

People looking in on them assume they aren’t diverse, which frustrates them!

Not all diversity is visible..

🍏 Beliefs & religion 🍏 Disabilities 🍏 Sexual orientation 🍏 Age and experience

Ethnicity and gender are easier to figure out visually!

Today’s episode is all about this shizz, delivered in the usual informal style..

PLUS talk of axe throwing, shoes in hair, caravan meanies and so much more!

This may be a bit ranty...

We hope you don’t mind! 😆

Loz is feeling a little disheartened and frustrated...

And she needs to let it out!

Today’s episode is about outsourcing and asking for advice & expertise...

And why some people think they can do better than the experts they outsource to...

Outsourcing is amazing for business🙌🏻

But my goodness it’s annoying when clients don’t listen and do their own thing...

Then wonder why the project isn’t a success😡

We know we’re not alone in this!

Expect the usual swearing, singing and general merriment!

Stress can be an absolute bar steward 😡

It gets to the strongest and most capable of us at some point or another..

And it’s a tricky, sneaky thing to deal with..

Because it comes in all kinds of shapes, sizes and different forms

Recognising how it presents itself to you specifically is really important 🙌🏻

So, you can spot the signs and STOP it from taking over

Today the dynamic duo talk about stress, the impact of it and how to beat it off with a stick!

There’s some singing in there as usual and talk about many a random topic!

And lots of laughs!

Just to lighten the mood! 🤣

Do you have a personal brand?

If you don’t think you do then we’re sorry to say that you do!

Everyone has a personal brand!

It’s what you stand for, your ethos, personality, & communication

style…

What you care about, your interests, thoughts & opinions

Candidates need to promote theirs to secure jobs

Employees need it to progress their careers and snag those

promotions..

And business owners & entrepreneurs need it to progress their

companies!

Also expect talk of pool parties, Amy Winehouse, BBQs,

Blackpool for a night out, singing and sooooo much more!

You’ll not be disappointed!

Humans vs Robots?

Is the theme today! Should all things be dealt with by AI or bots?

And should most things be automated?

We say no ❌

Some things only human people can do!

If you listen in to today’s episode you’ll also be rewarded by…

A beautiful rendition of this Killers song 🤣

Loz’s tales from her very first festival experience, wild boars, and the exciting news from Fresh HQ!

It’s a gooden!

If You Can Be Anything, Be Kind

Basically, don’t be a 🍆

Or a prick… 🌵

The trolls are out in full force at the moment and so we thought a podcast episode to remind them..

That it’s actually easier to be nice!

To Loz & Em, kindness absolutely rules – and is PARAMOUNT

It’s working out alright for them as a business strategy too 🤷‍♀️

You have no idea the awful impact a few mean-spirited and unkind words can have on someone’s day or even life ☹️

You wouldn’t stop someone in the street or at an event to tell them you didn’t like their outfit…

So, why is it okay for you to stop scrolling and do the exact same thing online?

Because IT IS NOT! ❌

There’s a little singing in today’s episode, a lot of laughs as per..

And general merriment!

Please tune in!! 🙏🏻

Laughter is essential!

In all areas of life…

If you follow the Fresh folk on social media, you’ll know that we LOVE to laugh!

Not only is it enjoyable and joyful...

But there are actual positive health benefits to it! Reduced stress, aids muscle relaxation, increase endorphin production and…

Apparently, it can help boost the immune system!

And has no end of benefits to improve mental health!

Loz and Tony also have a very special guest for you today! What a treat! He’s actually a comedy genius!

Give it a listen, we promise you’ll laugh and you may also pick up some pearls of wisdom too!

Compliment how they look, their jokes, thoughts and contributions?

Do you afford that same kindness and compassion to yourself?

No??

Can’t say we’re surprised! Most people are kinder to others than themselves..

Podcast episode 99 is all about SELF LOVE – and no, we aren’t talking about THAT, get your mind out of the gutter! 🤣

Most of us focus on the things we dislike about ourselves, what we can’t do or are bad at..

Well, Loz & Tony are here to tell you to LOVE YOURSELF! With positive internal chat and by focusing on your incredible qualities ⭐

Obvs expect the usual shizz… singing, LOTS OF LAUGHS, chats about dodgy haircuts, holidays in Greece, vestibules and the wonder as to why dogs eat sticks!!

It’s a belter!

Fancy another fix of the troublesome trio…?

Well Tony G, Vick and Chez are back again!

Chatting all things ‘stepping out of your comfort zone!’

We know it’s scary, but we promise it will be worth it!

So here’s some top tips on how to say yes to those things that give you the heebie-jeebies!

Thrown in with some top notch singing, TikTok tips and the girls taking the mick out of Tony…as usual!

We think it’s pretty funny…

But take a listen for yourself and let us know what you think!

Laura and Emily are off on their jolly’s!

And they’ve left Tony, Vick and Cheryl in charge!

This week they’re talking all things rejection…

Which is a scary subject!

It’s something we have to deal with every day in business…

But it’s life!

So why not get bloomin’ good at dealing with it!

We’re here to give you our personal experience on being rejected, some top tips, thrown in with a load of nonsense!

Sorry, but this isn’t rocket science guys! 🤣

Care for them, value them and demonstrate trust

If they feel happy and cherished

They’ll work their asses off AND treat your customers like kings and queens…👑

Listen in to find out HOW to do this to the MAX

And for many lols, laughs and some terrible singing…

Forget positive affirmations!

Singing Eye of the Tiger to yourself in the mirror…

Really gets you pumped! 🤣

And it really fits with today’s theme!

MOTIVATION!

How to be as motivated as Sly in Rocky 4…💪🏻

How to get it, where it comes from and how to maintain it

Figuring out how to motivate people can be one of…

The most challenging but rewarding things EVER!

So listen in, at the very least you’ll have a great time!

Expect talk of award nominations, how amazing cereal is and an amazing rendition of THIS SONG!

We love a bit of Michael Jackson!

But today’s podcast is not a tribute to him… soz!

Although, we are talking about starting something!

A business!!

Given the title of the podcast we thought we’d better…haha

So, this is for all those budding entrepreneurs out there!

Who have amazing ideas and such passion for what they do…

BUT may not know where to start when beginning on your business journey

Loz knows a thing or two about starting and growing a biz!

Little Mix, overly priced drinks, karate football and ducks crossing the road are also covered!

Business is hard bloomin’ graft! 💪🏻

We feel ya and we’ve got your back too..

It can be a lonely place, fraught with challenges and issues 💗

With everyone turning to you for answers and leadership

But who do YOU turn to?

Today’s sesh is all about you guys, with some helpful tips and thoughts from Loz & Tony G

With their usual banter, laughs and singing! 🤣

Also covered…

The Book of Mormon, Lisbon – not Brisbane, ice baths and much much more!

Please give it a listen! 🙏🏻

We have some sneaky people about today…

Tony, Vick and Cheryl have been up to no good and have secretly recorded a very special podcast!

Laura and Emily have no idea…mwahahaha!!

This week Fresh turned 6!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRESH!

These guys wanted to do something extra special to celebrate…

So, this is dedicated to the Podcast Queens, Laura & Emily Leyland!

Everyone around you is super proud of you both!

As well as celebrating Fresh you can expect recruitment tips, tricks, some special guests and A WHOLE LOT OF LAUGHS!

So , come and have a PARTY with us!

Boy do we have a treat in store for you today!

Emily’s still on maternity leave and Laura’s off on her holibobs…

So we have some very special guests on the podcast!

Tony G, Vick and Chez have taken to the mics!

They’re here to give you some life hacks, a bit of singing and a whole lot of laughs!

Todays episode focuses on trust and how to build that in a team…

Our bottomless brunch antics…

And why when we recruit we would pick personality over skillset every time!

So grab a cuppa, sit back and have a good old listen to the newest edition of the podcast!

I wanna do whatever common people do…

We love a good sing song at Fresh – in the office, podcast, wherever!

How important is common sense?

We think – VERY

But not everyone seems to have it…

Today’s episode may be a bit ranty at times as Loz let’s off a bit of steam! Haha 😆

So much is crammed into this podcast and you’ll be howling with laughter by the end of it..

There are some very handy life hacks too, so make sure you give it a listen!

We like to party..

We like, we like to party…

Love a bit of the Venga Boys 😆

We aren’t going to Ibiza this year, but we are going to Nice instead!

Today’s episode is about taking breaks, going on holidays, enjoy a vacay…

People haven’t been going on hols as much recently for obvious reasons and due to being locked down, chilling at home may have lost its shine…

And unfortunately burn out rates are high as a result ☹

So listen up, book a beach holibob or a city break!

Maybe even take a walk down the middle aisle in Aldi and buy a folding camping table or jet wash…

Either way, you’ll laugh a lot!!

People are struggling at the moment, which is sad ☹

And we get it – we’ve been through sooooo much change!

Many transitions, no holidays or breaks, lack of social interactions…

AND things are very busy for a lot of peeps!

Which is amazing, don’t get us wrong…

But still tough to deal with sometimes..

Today’s episode is about mental health..💗

How being healthy and exercising can help turn it to the positive 😊

And a whole host of other tips to help you feel BETTER 🙌

The girls also share their own experiences – so, you are not alone!

All delivered in their usually daft, totally non-serious style with much singing and merriment! 😆

It is guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

Finding a job is HARD graft!

We know… the struggle is real

As Ri Ri says, it’s work work work work work!

So, in an effort to be helpful – we’re giving you ALL the tips!

How to stand out from the crowd, be seen…

What to do to crush your interview…

Using LinkedIn to your advantage!

So much amazing info…

It’s called job HUNTING guys – you’ve got to get out there and take control..

Expect the usual silliness & singing, chats about strongman competitions, active networking, and..

Loz’s story about a candidate being hit by a bus on the way to their interview!!!

Today’s episodio is kicked off with some terrible singing… haha

Loz really is unique…LOL

Which just so happens to be a big part of the topic!

Standing out in an interview, being your authentic self and snagging that job…

Remember they’re a two street – both sides are fact finding..

AND

Both sides are there to make the other want them, engage, attract and impress

The candidates are not there to be grilled within an inch of their life..

And we want to see their personalities shine through!

It’s all about energy and enthusiasm! ⭐

Which is hugely important in many areas of life…

AND BUSINESS!

Well, that’s if you wanna attract & engage customers

Which we’re assuming you do? 🦝

Right then!

Social media and how to utilise & harness it for your biz is the topic of the day..

Having done this for Fresh, and quite well if we do say so ourselves…

We think we’re qualified to help on this! 🙋‍♀️

Expect the usual silliness, swearing and talk about school, cake and YouTube! Such a variety!

Let’s talk about you and me..

Let’s talk about all the good things and the bad things that make me…

Let’s talk about FRESH!

We’ve so many exciting events coming up this year that we wanted to dedicate an episode to tell y’all about them!

If you want to come drink, dance and be merry with us then listen up!

Also discussed… the leaning town of Pizza (yes, really), cling film seaweed wraps for weight loss, LOL and epic singing!

What more do you want??

Remember when you used to go out Friday, Saturday & Sunday?

And were in tip top shape on a Monday?

Ahh, those were the days!!

These days a hangover seems to last all bloomin’ week! Haha

Pancakes, nights out and what to watch on Netflix are just some of the topics discussed on this episode…

And how to cure a hangover!

With a lorra laughs thrown in for good measure… give it a listen!

So, Ri Ri’s been in the news…

She’s having a baby like our very own Em!

This episode is not about Rihanna though, soz guys!!

It’s about PUTTING YOURSELF OUT THERE..

Awards season is upon us and it’s all about blowing our own trumpets…

Which many a folk really struggle with – sad times

So, listen in and get inspire to talk yourself up – and to listen to the crazy world of Loz & Tony, haha

Who’ve you got beef with?

Or, who’s got beef with you?

Only joking, this episodio isn’t about falling out with peeps…if you can help it!

It’s about your COMPETITORS!

Do you know who they are? Do you keep an eye on them from afar?

Some people feel negative about the enemy…I mean competition but if you change your mindset…

They can inspire & motivate you, keep you sharp

MAKE YOU BETTER

Expect tips on how to get your frustrations out and many a funny story!

Who remembers 2 Unlimited and No Limits?

What a fab TUNE!

Sadly, today’s episode isn’t about music…

Although there may be some singing involved! Haha…

It’s actually about TECHNOLOGY and how it makes our lives run swimmingly!

Phones, watches, electronic business cards, tablets, anything and everything!

What couldn’t you live without?

As usual, Loz and temporary co-host Tony G discuss a wonderful array of other topics! Networking, wallpaper, teambuilding, swearing and much more!

What really bugs you?

Ed Sheeran… Is he your bad habit? Guilty pleasure maybe?

Laura’s is Little Mix!

No, today’s episode isn’t about popstars…soz guys!

It’s about bad habits and the traits of others that really get on your goat…

Being late, biting your nails, procrastinating…. We all have a vice! What’s yours?

Weaved into the podcast is a whole heap of other random topics…quizzes, yoga, HIIT, Ikea, wellbeing, car park wars…

You’ll certainly be entertained!!

Who else is absolutely brassic now it’s the end of Jan?

We’re all waiting for that January pay day!! No wonder everyone’s sad! Haha

You may be slightly confused at the beginning of this episode… no, you’ve not landed on a dating show nor a health & fitness podcast!

Bear with and Loz and Tony will get to the point!

They talk about all kinds of crap, sorry, we mean interesting stuff, including batch cooking, dating, value add and paying for recruitment!

Plus, Laura announces her super cool new idea!

Emily Leyland is AWOL!!

Only kidding, she’s on mat leave…

And so, Laura is joined by Tony G to co-host todays episode! Woop!

Which is all about SALES! Putting yourself out there, golden geese and their golden eggs, dating and well, a ship load of other useful yet random information!

You’ll learn so much about customer experience and authenticity…

And you’ll have heaps of LOLs along the way!

75 How Green Can You Go

This isn’t a question about your complexion…

But you already know that because you’re def doing your bit for the environment, please nod in agreement! 😉

You may hear people bang on about making one small change, but its so true, so we are here to bang that drum some more!

But we start by discussing cars, learner drivers, people who repeatedly fail their driving test but still end up on the road and so on…

So, if going green isn’t your thing but you love a goo debate, come on down!

74 It’s Laura’s Birthday today!!!

What a glorious day to be alive!

Laura looks better than ever, she is on actual fire, and so we dedicated this whole episode to her, because why not! 😊

From personal shopping and knowing your colours, people pleasing and comparing ourselves to cutlery, finding new friends, chewing gum on clothing and a whole host of other stuff gets rammed into this 27 minutes! Whoop!

And the main reason you should listen is to find out Laura’s real age!

thecuriouscaseofLauraLeyland

73 Mother New Year

Happy New Year’s Eve! Were you guys ever lucky enough to visited by Mother New Year?

Any time Laura or Emily discuss this with others, they’re usually greeted with an odd expressions, so maybe it’s just a Leyland thing!

The wet faced laughter is in full flow as we delve into the depths of Em’s brain and discuss all of her weird and wonderful failed NY resolutions…

Plus set some for 2022!

Come join us 😊

'Twas the night before Freshmas, when all through the office, not a Freshies was stirring, not even a dogfish…

Yeah right, most of them are out on the lash! But not Emily, she’s about to pop a baba out!

Welcome to our Christmas special! 😊 There isn’t a great deal of recruitment related stuff in here but even the best of us needs a break sometimes!

Have an epic Crimbo! x

The duo had to steam through this through lack of planning so have decided to treat you to a part 2 in the New Year!

Hopefully this news won’t ruin your Christmas! 😉

Episode 71 was meant to delve into the trials and tribulations of being a female business owner, and it kind of did, but the short version.

But don’t let that put you off, the sisters cram like chiefs and you still get the good stuff!

Did you ever play this? Or maybe declarations of honesty with a bunch of drunk people weren’t your thing!

The sisters start with a little reminiscing about the good old days when downing the shit mix was the only big problem in your lives…

Well, how things change, from babies to business and everything in between!

In this week’s episode you will learn a little more about the owners of Fresh - how else would you spend your Friday..? 😉

Have you ever interviewed your mates?

If not, we strongly suggest it! You’ll most likely find out a lot of shizz you didn’t know!

This week there was only one sister…

But instead of her being a lonely lady, she was joined by two very special guests!

The Leyland et al, sang Christmas songs, got all festive and answered some weird and wonderful questions!

This weeks episode isn’t about anything in particular… but don’t let that put you off!

What weird and wonderful talents do the team have?

What would they take with them during an evacuation?

And what’s the weirdest advice they’ve been given?

Are you at the bottom of your priority list?

Do you put everyone else and their crazy demands before yourself?

Are you nodding your head like a dog on a dashboard? Yes? Then this week’s episode is for you! 😊

The Leyland’s have recently been to one of their favourites spot in The Lakes, to indulge in a spiritual yoga retreat which encompasses all the stuff they know they should be doing as part of their self-care routine.

But like most, they tend to let this slip for the hustle and bustle of daily life, sound familiar? Yerp!

So, this week’s episode is about sitting back and discussing how we can apply a little more self-care to our daily routines and why this should be up there at the top of our to do lists!

To swear or not to swear…

This week’s episode was meant to be about self-care but the sisters got too carried away talking about some recent podcast feedback and so the direction changed… dramatically!

Prejudice seems the hot topic! Is judging folk on whether they swear the same as judging them for having tattoo’s, piercings, etc?

We cover other wonderful things like Emily’s Tasmanian Devil impression, shoutouts, holidays, the amount of iron in cereal and so much more.

Enjoy!

For each a road, for everyman a religion, find everybody and rule…

Know the song?

Laura doesn’t, haha! But that’s not the point!

Today’s topic is fear and what it means to us, how it can cripple the bravest and how it can be one of the biggest issues in business.

Don’t worry, the duo ease you into this episode by talk of veiny boobs and the sexiness of pregnancy and beyond - what more could you want! #luckydevils

The sisters last talked about what they actually do about 25 episodes ago so thought they best sort their shit out!

Fresh Perspective is constantly evolving, for the better, and the level of change has certainly cranked up a gear in recent months!

So here they are, soothing your growing pains and talking you through how recruitment can be an enjoyable experience once you’ve got the know how 😊

But before you get into all that serious stuff, the girls welcome you with their Spanish alter ego’s - if you know you know 😉

How important is your reputation…?

And how easy is it for someone to try and feck it up?

Just ponder on those 2 things for a wee moment…

This episode does what it says on the tin, discussing life after lockdown and specifically business, but Emily jumps right onto her soap box and rants about how damaging it can be to spread rubbish about businesses or people - hopefully you already know this!

The sisters have learned so much throughout lockdown and beyond and are stronger and more capable for it.

Maybe it’s time you did a spot of reflecting too 😊

Guess who’s back!

We took a well needed break from the podcast but we’re back!

Rather than tell you everything’s been hunky dory and that we’ve been living our best lives, we thought it probably better to tell the truth and be real, because there’s enough fake shit out there!

So, tune in to hear us bare all, eeek!

Knowing others have been where we stand today has been massively reassuring so we wanted to spread the love and help others in need 😊

Catch ya later!

We’ve been humming and singing this song since the podcast!

Hopefully it doesn’t stick in your head for too long!

This weeks episode is all about what we’ve been up to over the past 2 weeks and what’s coming up…which is a heck of a lot!

It’s also Jaymi’s podcast debut!! As Em is skiving again…LOL

There’s a very good reason why Jay didn’t make it to the yoga retreat and some funny stories from recent events!

Expect a blast from the past with songs from JLS and Steps… 5, 6, 7, 8! And by songs, we mean singing…badly! Haha, plus a whole host of Jaymi-isms, laughter, jokes and many boob references! 😊

Have you ever been bullied?

Maybe at school, uni or at work, it doesn’t matter where it is, it’s bloody horrible!

The Leyland’s are back on top form this week with snippets of sing songs and a lot of teary laughter!

They start by sharing a bit about their personal experiences with bullying and the pivotal moment where they each stopped taking shit and fought back!

If you need some inspiration, have a binge on this! 😊

Under Pressure! Pushing down on me!

This week’s episode doesn’t really have much structure, but who needs that anyway, the sisters felt the need to talk about the stupid amount of pressure we all seem to be under at the moment!

And if you fancy a bit more on Love Island and its unhealthiness, this is gonna be your bag!

The pressure people put on themselves is quite insane and so the more we talk about it, the better! This may turn into a girl’s v’s boy’s comp but there’s def something for everyone!

Customers are king! Clients are queens!

Do you think like this?

You’ve probably guessed that the Leyland’s do not…

It’s less about being total weapons to their clients (they’re not!) and more about using skills and experience to advise people in a positive way, to reach the desired goal.

See, that doesn’t sound so bad?

Going off-piste is something that comes very naturally to these two weirdos’ and this week is no different. Sausage plaits, language lessons, board rubbers, sing songs and the rest, each take the spotlight at some point!

So, this episode was meant to be about customers and whether they’re always right, but it took a drastic turn!

The sisters end up discussing their upcoming yoga retreat in Ibiza, the Covid jab and pregnancy (oh no they didn’t!), Love Island and it’s utter shitness, athletes and their amazingness (Laura Collett in particular) and a lot of other crap!

Laura and Emily end this week’s episode with a big shoutout to their fantastic team at Fresh Perspective, they’ll now be able to figure out who listens and who doesn’t 😉

Emily absolutely thinks so, Laura not so much…

The sisters have very strong, sometimes opposing opinions on group networking events and they aren’t afraid to say why!

Networking can, however, take many forms. So, if the idea of turning up to a networking event and trying to get 50 odd folk to like you fill’s your poor self with utter dread, get a load of this weeks episode to hear other ways in which you can schmooze like a trooper!

Also, what do you think of Freshworking…? Hmmmm

Is Indeed ruining the recruitment industry?

Of course not!

Does Indeed give you advice, tell you you’re looking for a unicorn and that you may need to rethink, does it go above and beyond to find you the best person, help you come up with a kick-ass interview plan, show you how to onboard like a queen?

NO! Does it bloody heck!

So, whilst you might think Indeed serves a purpose, it will never be better than a great recruitment partner and the Leyland’s will happily tell you why whilst pissing themselves laughing about utter nonsense!

Two for the price of one!

Enjoy x

How do you feel about the word moist?

The Leyland’s are big fans but know plenty folk who retch at this sticky sounding word 😉

The next word that falls out of Laura’s mouth cannot be written down because we might lose fans, so you’ll have to listen in

…it begins with m and ends in e - any guesses?

Anyway, enough of that and more about this week’s topic - STRESS!

Stress, it’s a toughy and can affect us all, even when we least expect it, but how should we be dealing with it?

Are you gonna join us and give us your best tips?

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

There’s a huge sadness in the air following our defeat at the Euro’s ☹

But what’s worse is the shocking sights that have swarmed social media and the news in the days following

Can you call yourself a fan if you’re only there in good times? The sisters think not and don’t hold back in telling you lot just how they feel about the events of this last week

They’re not calling themselves Treble Makers for nothing!

Not much singing in this week’s episode but plenty of ranting!

Who hasn’t got issues… Julia Michaels sure does!

But should you be facing social issues in the workplace…NO!

A Fresh Perspective on Business is officially 1! How did that happen!

Hopefully you’ve enjoyed listening to the Leyland’s rabbit on for 52 episodes and are still keen for more!

This episode delves deep into some of social issues that occur in the workplace and the sisters take on how to deal with those ‘awkward turtle’ conversations

Don’t look back… you’re not going that way!

The sisters agree with this unless you’re looking back to see how far you’ve come and that’s exactly what they do in this week’s episode!

It’s A Fresh Perspective on Business’ birthday and the sisters celebrate with a little trip down memory lane.

The main message in this week’s episode is… if you feel like starting a podcast, go and bloody do it! Also, apply this theory to everything - just do it!

How do you rate yourself as a boss?

This could be in the shape of a team leader, manager or company owner…

A shed load of ground is covered in this week’s pod, but the main themes are company culture, management and retention - this actually sounds quite boring, but the Leyland’s promise you it’s not!

Listen to this episode if you want to improve as a leader, keep hold of your precious people and just be an overall better human! So many reasons!

There’s a little bit of singing thrown in for good measure and to loosen you up ready for the weekend!

Emily almost drops a bombshell during this episode, top points if you can spot it!

Are you familiar with Workin’ Moms?

It’s an extraordinary Canadian series on Netflix that will truly blow your mind!

Before binging on this, the sisters couldn’t see themselves having kids and running Fresh (their business) and then Laura stumbled on this little gem, and it changed EVERYTHING…

If you want a career but also want to be a parent or maybe you are already and the thought of having both sends you into a mess, get a load of this week’s pod!

Have you ever thought…

I’m absolutely rubbish at recruitment?

Or maybe you think you’re totally boss at it but every bugger keeps leaving?

Then sadly, you might not be all that! Soz!

But don’t fear… Your Fairy job mothers are here 😊

Fresh Perspective are now offering recruitment director services!

SAY WHAT NOW!

Who wouldn’t want Laura & Emily in their business on a temporary basis? Give episode #49 a listen to find out more!

As always, there’s a wee bit of terrible singing to get you in the mood 😊

What did you want to be when you were little?

Emily could’ve gone two ways, marine biology or radio presenting - such similar paths! 😉

Laura was a very different child and thought a career as a vet or neurologist would wet her appetite!

In episode #49 of A Fresh Perspective on Business, the sisters talk qualifications V’s experience and how culture and attitude is actually way more important than either!

So, if you’re worried you don’t have the best grades, qualifications, certifications, bla bla, take a listen to this and let the Leyland’s soothe your woes 😊

Have you ever been the victim of an ‘it’s not you it’s me’ attack?

How pants does it feel?

Well, the Leyland’s hear you and have dedicated this week’s episode to talking about why it's ok to be dumped, let go, sacked, however you refer to it, IT’S OK!

Come and join Fresh Perspective for lots of terrible sound effects, a huge amount of wet faced laughter and some tip top info on how to pick yourself back up when you’ve been thrown to the floor and stomped on 😊

Do you remember This Is Your life?

With the lovely Michael Parkinson and his big red book?

Well, this is kind of like that but not so much! 😉

FRESH PERSPECTIVE TURNED 5 LAST WEEK! So, the team celebrated good and proper by sharing loads of memories and popping a bottle of champagne or 3!

Following on from that, the sisters thought it would be a nice idea to take their dear listeners on a little trip down memory lane…

Join them for that plus lots of shits and giggles!

Erm… who put 20p in you!

Unfortunately, ‘Aren't You Just Like Every Other Recruiter’ is said waaaayyyy too much and we do sometimes get a little tired of hearing it.

It's Friday and that can only mean 1 thing, you get another dose of A Fresh Perspective on Business podcast! Wow, that's a mouthful.

In episode #45 you will learn how we're different, how we do recruitment, what you’re left with after working with us and why everyone should RESPECT ALL RECRUITERS – no matter what’s happened in the past!

Love like you’ve never been hurt before, people!

Story time with the weirdo’s – there’s nothing quite like it…

The brief - a short trailer to captivate audiences and encourage them to listen to your podcast

Ok 👍🏼

The result - a 17 minute recording of us playing Heads Up live on Facebook! 😂

Apparently it's doing really well but we're unsure, we listened back the other day with sheer embarrassment and we don't embarrass easily! 😀

So, we've recorded a new trailer that is more inline with the brief, it's less than 3 mins but whether it captivates you is another story altogether!

Let us know what you think!

Train together, stay together

The cheese and crackers are out and they’re here to stay! 😊

Team building, socialising, team bonding, getting pissed, relationship strengthening, going wild, toilet talking…

Who cares how you refer to ‘this’, the key is knowing how freaking important it is to get together outside of work and get to know your team members.

Why?

Well, the sisters have all the answers, all you need to do is donate the next 22.31 minutes of your life and you’ll be a pro!

You’re welcome!

I got bills I gotta pay, so I'ma gon' work, work, work every day

PAY YOUR BLOODY BILLS!

Welcome to episode 43 of A Fresh Perspective on Business, you’ve probably guessed what this week’s theme is…

Have you ever been the victim of an unpaid bill? Or maybe, just maybe, you’re one of those naughty humans that don’t pay your invoices, hmmmm.

Whichever camp you’re in, you have to listen to this week’s episode, where you’ll either be left feeling empowered or guilty! 😉 There’s a lesson for everyone!

As always, we sing like crazy mofo’s, high on sunshine!

Stop what you’re doing and think back to those boring assemblies at school…

What did you enjoy most about those times? Surely it was the hymns?!

If it wasn’t, you’ll hate the start of this week’s episode, but nothing lasts forever, right?

The sisters share bits about life after lockdown, exotic things like going to the gym, being unable to book hair appointments and booking a fancy yoga retreat!

There’s a side dish of recruitment available but only 5 mins or so 😉

Are you joining us?

Are you putting all your eggs in one basket? Do you feel like you’re settling for less than you deserve?

WELL, STOP RIGHT NOW, THANK YOU VERY MUCH and let’s look at your options.

Whether it’s a date, job, proposal, whatever, it is always OK to take your time in making that decision, sometimes your gut needs a rest.

The team at Fresh see it time and time again, where people rush in when making important decisions and end up with teeth marks on the bum!

So, come on in and let the Leyland’s give you a good old fashioned life lesson.

Remember, only fools rush in 😊

Do you remember the film, The Interview? The one with James Franco & Seth Rogen…

Well, this is way better! This is an interview with Emily & Laura Leyland, owners of Fresh Perspective Resourcing and hosts of this marvellous podcast!

With a little help from a local quiz master, the sisters ask each other weird and wonderful questions so their beloved audience can get to know them a wee bit more.

If you like swearing, singing and piss taking, come on in!

Technically the title of this podcast is stolen from the fabulous Elizabeth Day but this episode is very closely linked with her wonderful work with failure and beyond, so surely she wouldn’t mind..?

The beginning of episode #39 of A Fresh Perspective on Business is a little scatty but stick with the sisters and they will come good and eventually get on topic! 😊

Failure is so important and learning how to fail is even more important but of course this is super tough and can be an extremely uncomfortable place to be in.

This is one of the more shorter episodes so stop what you’re doing right now and join the Leyland’s in discussing all things failure related.

When you shut down vulnerability, you shut down opportunity…

Ooo, the Leyland sisters love a good quote and especially one that comes out of Brene Brown’s mouth!

Laura and Emily are big fans and absolutely love her work on vulnerability, shame, etc. and order you to check this out after you’ve listened to episode #38 of their podcast! 😉

Coming from very different angles on this tough topic, they’ve been on their own unique journeys with being open and transparent and so why not join them for the next 25 minutes to hear their take on it.

Warning, this does get deep and meaningful…

All the women, who are independent Throw your hands up at me

All the honeys, who making money Throw your hands up at me

All the mommas, who profit dollars Throw your hands up at me

All the ladies, who truly feel me Throw your hands up at me

Welcome to episode 37 of A Fresh Perspective on Business!

International Women’s Day is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate than singing to Destiny’s Child!

Go grab yourself a wine and some crisps and spend the next 30 minutes listening to the Leyland’s sisters take on this magnificent day.

No one will judge you if it's 9:00am 😉 #promise

Remember Baz Lurhmann’s Sunscreen, or maybe the song is Everybody’s Free? Who knows, the title isn’t important, its what’s inside that counts (this is very apt).

The title of episode #36 is a lyric from this iconic song, go listen to it now, oh wait, after you’ve listened to this! 😉

Do you invest in yourself? The sisters aren’t just talking about in a work capacity but in your personal life too, this could be in the shape of self-care, education, therapy, etc.

Come on in and indulge in A Fresh Perspective on Business to hear more on this ever-important topic.

And don’t worry, there’s plenty of singing too!

Are you a troll? Have you ever written something shitty on a social media post? If your answer is yes, you’re a troll!

Go away! We will not tolerate meanies!

One of the Leyland’s biggest pet peeves is people who comment ‘It’s not for LinkedIn’ on content when this is total BS!

It takes bravery and courage to be honest and vulnerable online and this should be met with encouragement.

So, go on, do you think people should be posting personal content on LinkedIn? Tune in to episode #35 for more on this controversial subject.

Chris Rea; the seasonal singer, weeing in Ronnie’s gloves, Covid and lots of other random bits come up too!

The beginning of this episode is a car crash, there is no point denying it, but please stick with it!

Do you love DIY? Most of the population have had to get better at this during the series of lockdown’s, but do you think you’re an expert at everything?

Would you say you’re a Jack or Jill of all trades but maybe a master of none?

They are, of course, talking about recruitment and the view that some people/companies seem to think they can recruit more effectively than experienced recruiters who do this day in day out, absolute madness, right? Tune in to hear their (aggressive) opinions on the subject.

If you’re partial to a bit of the Vengaboys or Aretha Franklin, the sisters do a few little sing songs, such lucky, lucky people.

We’re doing it for the kids in this episode – and by that we mean creating job opportunities for them! They can thank us later…

Who else is now singing ‘Kids’ by Robbie Williams and Kylie? Haha

And what a treat we have in store for you today – we’ve still not found Emily and are worried that she may have been kidnapped by aliens…

That won’t stop us broadcasting though and joining Laura as co-host is Fresh Perspective’s tiny nightmare – who regularly gets ID’d – Evie Skentelbery!!

Snow driving, gas mishaps, emotional job offers, women in tech and work gifts also make an appearance…

Sorry to disappoint but Kim and Aggie nor Mrs Hinch feature in this episode BUT…..

We do have a very special guest co-host – our very own Marie Kondo – Veronica ‘sassy pants’ Finney making her debut on the podcast – don’t worry, we’ve not sacked Emily! She’s just taking a break!

Episode 32 is aimed at everyone! And is all about organisation – why it’s important, why some people fight it and why it’s vital to find organisation methods, systems and processes that suit your individuality and personality – it’s definitely not a one size fits all!

Dance exercise, Glee, driving lessons, procrastination, post-it notes and adding some razzle dazzle into your routine also feature heavily…

Are You Ok Hun should ALWAYS be spoken in a Liverpudlian accent, do you agree?

And because of this, that’s exactly what these 2 plonkers are doing, they’re partial to the odd impression or 10!

Mental health is a hot topic at Fresh Perspective, the girls discuss the good, bad and ugly and make a point of being open, transparent and most of all, approachable to their beloved employees.

Laura and Emily treat their team like family and so, do whatever it takes to help them be healthy, both physically and mentally.

What are you doing to make sure your employees, colleagues, friends, etc. are ok?

Please don’t take offence, this isn’t personal 😉

We’re Just Not That Into You is aimed at the business owners/managers and the like who aren’t that great at welcoming their newbies and as result might make folk feel rubbish, undervalued and like they don’t want to be there!

This just isn’t good enough but don’t fret, the sisters are here to help!

Episode #25 is all about finding good partners, whether that be in business or just general life, because building strong relationships is extremely important!

Despite owning a successful recruitment business, the duo still (sometimes) get it wrong when it comes to hiring for themselves and feel its important to talk openly about this in the hope to help others.
