Fireside Chats 10: Baked Goods

Why did Nick choose baked goods as a topic?

He’s hungry. And he likes the store bought stuff, particularly mince pies!

He also happens to love Christmas cake and marzipan….

"I have 17 years experience in the financial services world helping thousands of clients with their finances.

I have worked for large institutions like Barclays, AXA and Schroders as a Stockbroker and as a Chartered Financial Planner but felt the gap in the market existed in helping people take control of their own finances.

I wanted to move away from having to sell products to using my experience to help anyone regardless of how much money they have." - Martin MacLeod

Richard has been involved in staffing and Human Resources for most of the last 30 years. He's worked for some of the UK's largest employers in both public and private sector and including manufacturing, software, healthcare and transportation. He also specialises in helping small employers navigate the increasingly complex challenge of managing staff in a highly politicised and increasingly divided society.

He is a Co Founder of Fair Job UK which was launched in April 2024, an Employer Accreditation service and HR Support service aimed at employers with less than 1000 workers down to 1 or 2 employees. Fair Job UK encourages employers to remove politics and activism from the workplace, adopt neutral political positions and to avoid signing up to ideologically motivated campaign groups. The accreditation reassures employees that they won't be cancelled or indoctrinated at work but at the same time, requires them to conduct themselves professionally in the workplace and to leave the politics and activism at home.

Richard is a writer and contributes regularly to The Daily Sceptic on workplace and HR issues and you can follow his substack here:

Shirah Benarde might be only 22 years old, but she has already helped keep over half a million people safe from drink spiking with her viral company NightCap. NightCap is a revolutionary brand that was featured on Shark Tank in 2021, resulting in a passionate partnership with Lori Greiner.

Shirah launched NightCap when she was just 16, after a close friend had her drink spiked during a night out, and worked tirelessly to ensure the product would be something her customers would feel comfortable bringing along on a night out with friends. Inspired, she went to her mother’s closet, grabbed a pair of pantyhose, cut them up, and attached them to a scrunchie to create the first NightCap prototype.

Since its inception, Shirah has not saved just one person, but over HALF A MILLION people worldwide. NightCap has sold over 600,000 units in over 40 countries, and partnered with over 170 major universities, including LSU, Ole Miss, FSU, University of Michigan, Yale and Penn State, furthering their mission to promote safety and vigilance and influence a wider cultural shift.
