Hello, I'm Naomi Simson — and we’re back with a brand new season of Handpicked, my podcast where real business owners bring me their real questions.

Season five is here (can you believe it?), and wow — the entrepreneurs have really brought the big ones this time. We’re talking about everything from how to motivate today’s sales teams to how to build a culture of recognition that lifts everyone — not just the loudest voices.

These are the kinds of questions that cut through the noise. No fluff — just real, actionable insights for anyone growing a business, leading a team, or simply trying to get the best out of their day.

Each episode is short, sharp, and packed with ideas you can use immediately. Because sometimes, all it takes is a new perspective — and a little courage to ask.

Join me every Monday for Handpicked.

Venkatesh has been in business for almost a decade and he is really wanting to scale. I ask him to consider the constraints of the business and what is holding him back. He wants to know if being boutique is good and how to appeal to larger customers - as a twist at the end I ask him to dream about what his business will look like in five years time. Do you dream about what is possible?
