Here’s what we talked about:
Building a community, an ecosystem of connectivness is good for business
As business leaders, when we are able to reinvest into our communities and the people in them that we serve, wonderful things happen.
In decades past, advertising used to be the predominant form of businesses communicating with and attracting a large number of customers.
While still crucial, today, advertising has taken a backseat to the attention a business or brand can receive by connecting the dots in their ecosystem.
That care and inclusiveness, can provide leaders with the data required to lead movements, have an impact, and transform not only their community but society.
The age old saying of together is better, springs to mind
So, join me today on the #fintechscalingshow, with David Wagstaff, founder, of Eprenz.com. where we discuss why investing in a community as part of the scaling process pays forward dividends
Episode Highlights:
-
Secrets to create a bustling and value driven community
-
Critical factors to consider as you build your community
-
Inside track on how to leverage influences for growth
-
and much more

Here’s what we talked about:
Why is data critical?
For most businesses, data is at the core of all operations and processes.
Therefore, data must be efficient, secure, timely, and accurate.
And I believe in this simple mantra: no data, no scale.
But not all data is created equal.
So look for the most useful – and most cost effective – data you can, at each phase of growth.
The fact is: data is critical to scale.
There’s really no path without it.
And this is a subject we dive into today on the #fintechscalingshow, with Yves Mulkers, founder, of 7WData.
Episode Highlights:
- Why a data savvy team is vital to scale
- How data helps you focus
- Why leaders should have a data-first strategy
- 3 frameworks to use to extract the most out of your data

Starting a new business is not at all like working in a large company.
Yes, experience is a great teacher but old habits and mindsets can be difficult to overcome.
