Another little filler - 2 mugs, talk about mugs; business failures on the rise; ends with a cheese story

The boys have returned from their festive adventures! Trev enjoyed sunny days on the Southampton docks, while Dave endured the cold on the Algarve—or maybe it was the other way around. Either way, they’re back, and this episode is packed with the usual mix of humour and insight.

First up, there’s an emotional chat about their new mugs, proudly adorned with both the Podcast logo, and The Guild’s logo to highlight the strong partnership between the two.

The conversation then turns to a sobering topic: the troubling rise of business failures throughout 2024. Trev and Dave express their concern about this ongoing trend and their frustration at the lack of action to being taken by those that run the run country et al. They share their personal insights and some practical, common-sense solutions for tackling the issue, adding some unusual depth to the discussion.

Of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without a dose of light-hearted chaos. This time, Trev discovers a mysterious tub of cheese in the boot of Dave’s car, leading to some hilarity that only these two could deliver.

In an exciting new twist, the boys announce a monthly competition and, in addition, they’re calling on Guild members to submit case studies, with the chance to win... well, some very cheap looking mugs.

As always, we encourage you to listen, share, and keep the comments coming. Who knows? If luck isn’t on your side, you might just end up with a mug!
