I‘m Steven Mather Solicitor and Your Business Lawyer and this is Mather Podcast Be With You. I‘m keen to learn what makes people successful and indeed what success means. This podcast is a variety of things - sometimes an interview of business people, sometimes a discussion, sometimes a panel, sometimes just me talking. I‘m hopeful it will be interesting, witty, and worth another listen. Prior to April 2021, this podcast was known as The Business Herald - a six-month stint and my first foray into podcasting. I really enjoyed making it, but delivering a weekly business news podcast took too much time, so this new version is more me and hopefully slightly less time consuming.

Joe Burns took an IT business he co-founded in 2005 to over £1.6m turnover and then exited. Having caught the bug, he knew he could do it again, better and quicker.
In this interview with Joe, we look at his Laws of Success which include:
- being selective with whom you work - saying no is useful, and knowing the required income per customer to achieve your goals helps in this.
- planning - Joe talks about orbit charts
- being goal and target driven
- having a good coach / mentor
- working towards making yourself redundant

Happiness & Profit, with Libby Langley
Friday Aug 12, 2022
Friday Aug 12, 2022
Welcome to S2E3 of Mather Podcast Be With You, where your host Steven Mather, Solicitor, explores the Laws of Success with small business owners.
On this week's show, Steven is joined by Libby Langley a Business Coach who helps middle life business owners become happier and more profitable.
We talk about happiness and what it means. Libby believes that its important to adopt your own view of success and then work towards that.
And on profit, we talk about the myth of the 10k/50k Month espoused by many on social media platforms, and why spending 9k to get 10k is perhaps not as good as spending £500 to get £5k.

There’s No End Point to Success - with Caroline Attamah
Friday Jul 29, 2022
Friday Jul 29, 2022
In this episode of Mather Podcast Be With You - The Laws of Success, I talk with Caroline Attamah a friend and inspiration. She's currently a student mental health counselor and openly shares with me on a number of wide ranging discussion points
I met Caroline 6-7 years ago through business networking, and she has taught me so much about what anti-racism and white fragility means over the years, encouraging me to learn more on those subjects, and today will teach us all on mental health and why it is so important.
On success, she believes "There is no end point to success" and her Laws of Success, which we discuss here, are:
- Make time for yourself
- Developing self-awareness
- Everything starts with YOU
- To choose your own battles
This is a fascinating and wonderful discussion with some depth and a number of really key learning points arise, I think.
Hope you enjoy it.

Do small business owners get it right with legislation? What are some of the obligations on small business owners and what more can they do to ensure they are 'compliant'?
I'm told running a business is "a minefield" but I say that it may be, but anyone can navigate a minefield with a map! And that map is great expert advice.
In this podcast, I've taken the audio from a panel discussion I took part in recently in which me and a few guests talked about legislation for small business.
