Small is STILL Beautiful… Small Talk, One Year On

About this episode

A panel of business owners reflects on their journey of staying small one year after their initial discussion.

Recorded live in front of an audience at the unLTD Business Expo, October 2025. 12 months ago, we brought together a group of business owners who explained why staying small worked for them. Now, they are back to reflect on their journey since. “Small Is Beautiful… One Year On” features a dynamic panel session that reunites three of the original contributors Laura Stead, Russell Thompson and Becca Morris with host James Marriott. Are they still just as small now as they were a year ago? Have their mindsets changed? If you want their answers, come to this session and reaffirm that small, values-aligned business isn’t just a survival strategy, it can be a flourishing one.
