Episode 6: Demystifying Data – What Start-Ups Need to Know
Host: Sheela Sharma
Guest: David Taylor
Data might not sound exciting, but it’s one of the most powerful tools a small business owner can use – not just to stay compliant, but to make better decisions and grow with confidence.
In this episode of Fearless Founders, we’re joined by David Taylor, Head of Operations at Portobello Business Centre. With decades of experience advising entrepreneurs and implementing smart operational systems, David breaks down the basics of business data in a way that’s clear, simple and non-intimidating.
We unpack what data actually is (and isn’t), what GDPR means for your business and the practical steps you can take to protect your clients’ information. We also dive into how data can help you understand your customers, track performance and use tools like websites and automation to work smarter – not harder.
Whether you’re just starting out or finally ready to get a grip on your systems, this episode will help you turn data from a dull chore into one of your business’s most valuable assets.
