Advertise on podcast: Not Another Startup Podcast - NASP

Over the last couple of weeks we've been missing in action and it's partly due to COVID and partly due to the fact the pair of us have been pretty busy and there's not enough time in the day etc etc... This week Luke waffles on for a couple of minutes to explain why The NASP has been out of sync, which means it's basically 5 minutes of Luke making excuses! Anyway, next week we will be back with the usual format and podcast length.

In this weeks episode James runs solo as he waffles through a few news stories from the week. Hopefully with some value he touches on targeted ad delivery aswell as how the pingdemic is saving lives.

The future of sports marketing could be upon us with the new virtual adverts that will popping up on the side of football pitches. TV broadcasters are now able to adjust the advert that's seen by viewers depending on location! After diving down a rabbit hole talking about how virtual advertising might change the world. We take a quick trip to space to talk about how Richard Branson will pip Jeff Bezos in being the first onboard the first commercialised space flight.

Usually we spend our time on the podcast talking about news of the week and how our businesses are tracking but this week we went down a different route by having a conversation about a negotiation that we're currently in the middle of. Disclaimer - If you're looking for groundbreaking negotiation tips you will be pretty disappointed pretty quick. However, if you like awkward and uncomfortable conversations, this might be the podcast for you!

John McAfee famous for building McAfee anti-virus was found dead in his jail cell recently. The Entrepreneur was famous for selling his business for $100 million back in the 90's and going on a rampage by spending his money on Sex, Drugs & Guns After being discovered dead in his jail cell conspiracies have risen as to why he would have been killed. So we thought it would make sense to try and get to the bottom of this, in this weeks NASP.

Subconsciously this week we have slipped into talking about poor company culture. Some of you may have seen the open letter to Brewdog complaining about the 'Grow At All Costs' mentality. We take a look at the letter, the response from the Brewdog founders and also compare this environment to some other shocking places to work.

On June the 8th some of you may have noticed that your favourite websites were offline! A third of the internet was brought to it's knees due to a bug laying dormant in Fastly's codebase. This week we dive into what crashed the internet & how much that could have cost some of the companies relying on Fastly's Network. Our start-up of the week this week is a platform called the Giving Machine that have created an innovative way to help give more to charities across the UK.

It's with a heavy heart that we have to inform you.. We've been dumped... Mike has decided that he can't put up with the pair of us anymore.. Which says a lot about the calibre of this podcast. With no Mike this week James & I decided to try and talk about something we thought would be useful, so dive into Apple's new affiliate program, which might help you to make more money from your podcast.

Unfortunately this week there will be no episode of the NASP due to the fact that life has taken hold. We've unfortunately not managed to get together to get an episode recorded but we will return next week, it will be business as usual.

This week kicks off with the usual waffle, we cover off how Mike's getting on buying a house, his COVID vaccine and how his first face to face business meeting mainly revolved around Ice Cream sandwiches. When we do get stuck into the news we have an incredible story this week about how FIFA have created a virtual player 15 years after the death of Kiyan Prince in an attempt to raise awareness for knife crime.
