    Aug 20 2025
    Welcome to the first episode of Halftime Huddle, where small business owners take a midweek moment to recharge, reflect, and re-energise. In this inspiring conversation, host Mark Webb sits down with tech consultant, entrepreneur, and all-round people-champion Philippa Perryman (Coles) – co-founder of the innovative consultancy Share Three.Philippa is a self-proclaimed "shameless techie" with a passion for human connection, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. Together with two long-time colleagues (and now co-founders), she launched Share Three – a tech consultancy that delivers document management systems, automated workflows, and AI-ready tools to businesses who want to work smarter, not harder.But this episode isn’t just about technology – it’s about mindset, motivation, and the often-messy reality of running and growing a small business. Philippa shares her story with warmth, humour, and honesty, offering real-world tools, frameworks, and philosophies that any entrepreneur or solopreneur will find valuable.🧠 Highlights from the Episode:✨ Superpower vs Kryptonite Philippa reveals how her biggest strength – a genuine love of people and ideas – can sometimes trip her up. She explains how setting clear goals based on who she wants to be helps her stay focused and avoid shiny-object syndrome.📦 Tackling Digital Clutter From overflowing inboxes to chaotic file systems, Philippa breaks down the concept of digital waste and why businesses need to take their digital footprint as seriously as their environmental one.📅 Monday Mindset & Momentum Hear why Philippa treats every Monday like January 1st, and how starting the week with optimism can help sustain energy through Wednesday wobbles.🛠️ A Hidden Gem: Microsoft Sway Discover the underused Microsoft tool that Philippa swears by for client communication, sales brochures, and collaborative content – no developer needed.🎭 Networking Through Nostalgia Learn about Philippa’s unique approach to business networking – using pop culture themes like The A-Team, Friends, and Fawlty Towers to spark meaningful conversations and community-building.📚 Book Recommendations That Matter Philippa shares the two books she most often gives to friends and colleagues:Why You Should Read Children's Books, Even Though You Are So Old and Wise by Katherine Rundell – a poetic reminder to stay playful and curious.Art Matters by Neil Gaiman – a powerful ode to imagination, creativity, and the change-makers within us all.💬 Quotes to Remember:“My superpower is also my kryptonite – I love people so much that I want to say yes to everything.”“We think going digital solves all our problems, but it creates new ones – like digital clutter. And it has a carbon footprint too.”“If you want to stay focused, align your tasks with the person you want to be.”“Don't beat yourself up for getting distracted. Learn from it and make a different decision next time.”👥 About the Guest – Philippa Perryman (Coles): Philippa is a developer, consultant, and co-founder of Share Three, a tech consultancy that believes in the power of collaboration and incremental improvement. She’s passionate about helping businesses use technology with purpose, empathy, and efficiency. When she’s not building systems, she’s probably reading, gifting books, or running themed networking events based on retro pop culture.Connect with Philippa: 🌐 https://www.sharethree.co.uk 🔗 LinkedIn

    Episode 002 - Conversation with Susanna Reay
    Aug 20 2025
    Welcome back to Halftime Huddle – your weekly midweek recharge, where small business owners pause, reflect, and reset. In this episode, host Mark Webb is joined by international business coach, author, and summit creator Susanna Reay – known as the Authority Architect – to explore how introverts can build visibility, credibility, and authority without burning out.Susanna’s journey has taken her across three continents, twenty cities, and countless pivots. From her early days navigating online work long before it was mainstream, to publishing The Introvert Way Roadmap and launching the Superfast Authority Summit, she’s become a champion for entrepreneurs who want to share their expertise authentically – especially those who find traditional, extroverted business tactics exhausting.This conversation is full of practical strategies, honest reflections, and empowering ideas for entrepreneurs who want to grow their influence, simplify their message, and design a business that works with (not against) their natural energy.🧠 Highlights from the Episode:✨ Origin Story: From Nomad to Coach Susanna shares how moving across continents taught her to embrace online work, and how her recognition of her introversion became the foundation of her coaching practice.🔄 Pivoting with Purpose She explains why she moved away from binary labels like “female entrepreneurs” or “introvert vs extrovert” and created a more inclusive, human-first space for authority building.📣 The Superfast Authority Summit Learn how Susanna flipped the “speaker-fest” model on its head – prioritising interaction, collaboration, and peer learning – and why attendees found the real magic in the breakout rooms.🖼️ The Power of Simplicity and Visuals Why frameworks, models, and visual storytelling cut through today’s avalanche of content – and how entrepreneurs can simplify their ideas to make a bigger impact.💡 Superpower or Kryptonite? Discover how Susanna reframed her introversion from a weakness into a superpower – and how you can lean into your own natural strengths to build rapport and authority.🛠️ Tools That Fuel Creativity From Instagram Reels and Google Docs to interactive platforms like Miro, Susanna reveals the tools she uses daily to collaborate, co-create, and share ideas with impact.🌿 Energy, Balance, and Focus Hear how she structures her week with “task blocking” (not rigid time blocking), why she always takes walks without headphones, and how procrastination can sometimes be your brain’s best problem-solving tool.📚 Book Recommendation: Playing Big by Tara Mohr The book Susanna most often recommends, Playing Big inspires entrepreneurs to overcome self-doubt, take bold leaps, and translate ideas into action – perfectly aligned with her philosophy of building authority step by step.💬 Quotes to Remember:“Introversion isn’t kryptonite – it’s my superpower.”“Content is overwhelming. The world doesn’t need more noise – it needs clarity, simplicity, and ideas that cut through.”“Authority isn’t built by shouting the loudest, it’s built by creating frameworks people remember.”“The magic happens in the conversation, not just in the keynote.”👥 About the Guest – Susanna Reay Susanna Reay is an international business coach, author of The Introvert Way Roadmap, and creator of the Superfast Authority Summit. Known as the Authority Architect, she helps entrepreneurs transform their expertise into clear, visual frameworks that build visibility, credibility, and authority.
