Ed Reid, MD of franchise The Alternative Board (TAB) has featured on the latest edition of the High Performance podcast.
The episode titled ‘How to REALLY run a business in 2024’ invited leading business owners from across the UK to share the key attributes required to lead a business, and the big lessons they’ve learned over the years.
Hosted by Jake Humphrey and Damian Hughes, the High Performance podcast turns the lived experience of the world’s highest performers into life lessons. Past interviewees have included Bear Grylls, Mark Cavendish and Sir Kier Starmer. Ed Reid was invited onto the podcast in response to requests from the High Performance community for more insights from people currently running SME businesses.
Interviewing Ed alongside three other UK business owners, the podcast hears the roundtable panel reflect on the highs of their business journeys alongside the most challenging moments, and how ultimately, marginal gains are everything.
“High Performance is an incredibly motivating listen, and I was honoured to represent the SME and franchise community on the show,” commented Ed Reid, MD of TAB UK. “I shared on the podcast how it’s vital that business owners find their sense of purpose alongside people to go on the journey of ownership with them. That sense of camaraderie and peer support is something both TAB and the franchise community can offer those in leadership roles and its impact on the success of businesses cannot be understated.”
Since the Podcast aired TAB has received direct enquiries from business leaders seeking the franchise’s expertise: “I am delighted with the interest the podcast is generating. SME businesses are the heartbeat of the UK economy but unlike big brands, they don’t always have the right resources to help them succeed. That’s where we come in, providing leaders with the support and expertise to take their businesses to the next level while also ensuring they focus early on critical issues such as exit planning.”
