This week on the Getting Sh*t Done Podcast, we closed out the season with a proper Christmas Special featuring Keri Ackling and Tom Baker, the duo behind Snow Windows. And to make it even better, Tom painted our logo live in the studio while we recorded. Real Christmas magic.

Snow Windows started with Tom painting a single snow scene on a neighbour’s window. No plan, no strategy, just a bit of creativity. That one moment turned into a full-scale business that now works with Disney, John Lewis, Lego, Global, Harvey Nichols, Costa, Audi and more.

But behind the festive sparkle is a real story of graft and chaos. Keri and Tom have built something completely unique while juggling family life, raising a daughter who plays pro football at 11 and handling a business where 90 percent of the income arrives in one mad seasonal sprint.

From barely keeping up with demand to launching their own products, sprays, stencils and an online snow art course, they’ve gone from “fun Christmas idea” to a brand people recognise across the UK.

We covered:

• How one hand-painted window became the Snow Windows brand
• The moment Keri realised this could be a real business
• Growing from neighbours’ windows to national retailers
• ⁠The social media post that blew them up and the ones that flopped
• ⁠Building products, sprays, stencils and their online course
• The reality behind a seasonal business and how they manage it
• Family life, teamwork and keeping the magic alive every year

This week on the Getting Sh*t Done Podcast, Harry & Will sat down with Charlie Thomas - the founder of Babble & Hemp, the menswear brand championing one of the world’s most sustainable and misunderstood fabrics: hemp.

Charlie’s story is rooted in purpose. After witnessing the devastating environmental impact of cotton farming near the Aral Sea, he became determined to create clothing that looked good, felt premium, and didn’t compromise the planet.

What started as 150 hemp shirts sold at a Portobello Market stall has grown into a mission-led menswear brand built on ethics, endurance, and bold marketing - including Charlie completing a full Ironman wearing one of his own hemp shirts to prove its durability.

We covered:

• How Charlie’s travels sparked the idea for Babble & Hemp
• ⁠Why hemp could be the future of sustainable fashion
• The story behind completing an Ironman in a hemp shirt
• ⁠How a market stall evolved into a growing menswear brand
• The bold marketing moves that turned Babble & Hemp into a recognisable brand
• The hardest lessons of building a mission-driven company from scratch

If you’re building a product, a brand or you're just passionate about sustainability or mission-led entrepreneurship - this episode is for you.

This week on the Getting Sh*t Done Podcast, we sat down with Miles Laflin — better known as The P00l Guy. The viral creator, engineer, and entrepreneur behind the most recognisable channels on the internet as well as a super successful business.

What started as a simple series of pool cleaning videos has exploded into a global brand with over 20 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube & more. But behind the views is a story of graft, grit, and genuine passion for his craft. From working as a pool engineer for over 15 years to running a full-scale content brand with his wife as his PA, Miles has gone from back garden pools to global fame, and he’s still just getting started.

We covered:
