I’m in awe of business owners & founders. Some are self-confessed unemployable, unable to work for the man, so they risk it all to market their dream, idea, or a solution to others’ problems. Others plan their escape to entrepreneurship whilst trapped inside a corporate cubicle. Having spent 25 years as a corporate monster myself, and another 15 running my own successful business, 'The Small Business Big Marketing Spotlight' podcast is laser-focussed on bringing business owners real stories of the ups and downs of growing a business they love in 2025 and beyond. No sugar-coatings, no fancy lingo; just practical insights and tips across all aspects of business - Marketing, HR, tech, finance, scaling, to name a few. Thank you for listening … Tim Reid (Your curious host).
