Governments might insist they don't negotiate with terrorists - but when you're doing business in the world's most dangerous territories, you'll want one of the City's most tight-lipped sectors on your side.
This week we talk to two specialists in kidnap insurance: Mark Harris, director of crisis response at Olive Group and Jon Gregory, global product head of kidnap and ransom at AIG.
They provide their tips on how to avoid kidnap in the first place, as well as how to prepare your family if you're heading abroad - and what to do if you are snatched.

23: The City's most secretive sector: The business of kidnap protection

Lawrence Kenwright, founder of hotel business Signature Living, has experienced the highest highs and lowest lows of running one's own company.

He made millions with his first venture, then lost it all, then built himself back up, and he joined us in the studio to tell us how it all happened.

We got the scoop on how to plan a perfect hen party, what you need to remember when you're trying to make a comeback, and why the UK is headed for another financial crisis.

We're taking a break for Christmas, so there won't be a new podcast out for the next few weeks. However, if you're missing us too much, [you can find all previous episodes here](http://www.cityam.com/topic/city-am-unregulated).

N.B. There is some light swearing in this week's episode.

13: Leon co-founder John Vincent

Shed Simove is an expert at taking an idea and running with it: he is the man behind the Flying F**k and the Rambant Rabbi, and has even created a bestseller out of a book containing 250 blank pages.
He joined us to explain why no idea is a bad idea - and why the only barrier to creativity is yourself.
NB. this is a decidedly not safe for work episode, with swearing from the very beginning.
