  • Interview on Taking the Gap Podcast

    I got a mail the other day from the guys at Maude Street Podcasts who produce a whole whack of different podcasts aimed at the financial sector. They invited me to be part of the latest episode of the “Taking The Gap” podcast, to talk about iPad for Business.

    Talking isn’t my strong point, so I bit the bullet and chatted to Simon Brown who hosts the show. After listening to the show, I am very pleased the way it turned out, and the podcast is a great reseouce to anyone in business.

    To take a listen listen below and visit the Maude Street site to hear more of these great podcasts

    Thanks to the guys for the opportunity to share with you :)
