I have some big news, that I wanted to share with you personally, an important update regarding Up Close & Virtual.

Sadly, I’ve taken the very difficult decision to pause my podcast recording. I’ve been handed the most fantastic opportunity with a long-term client, whose business I’m passionate about. However, with the increased responsibilities and time constraints something has to give.

It’s been a tough decision to make; I’ve loved every single recording and got to know some truly inspirational VAs and business owners. Each and every guest has invested in me or given up their precious time to chat with me and share their experiences, which I know has empowered lots of people to set out on their own business journey.

To all the esteemed guests, I extend my sincerest and most heartfelt thanks. Your willingness to share your insights and expertise has meant the world to me, and I'm truly grateful.

To our loyal listeners, thank you for tuning in! I’ve been amazed at the growing number of you who regularly listen, comment, and send your words of encouragement. I promise to keep you updated on any developments regarding the podcast's return.

Thank you all for being part of my podcasting journey. Your support fuels my passion, and I can't wait to reconnect with you all very soon.

It’s not goodbye, just au revoir.

I'm delighted to welcome Amy Goss of onethreefourcreative to the show this week.

Amy is a creative freelancer and Virtual Assistant and was recently runner up in the Best VA Newcomer category at the UK VA Awards in 2023.

Having started her career at a creative design agency which specialised in Sci-Communications; Amy gained invaluable insights and experiences into how some of the world’s biggest household named brands are run. After nearly three and half years and a late diagnosis of ADHD, using the skills and knowledge she’d acquired in the role, Amy decided to take a leap of faith in mid-2022 and branch out on her own.

A venture born out of the belief that small businesses and neurodivergents deserve the same level of support as their larger counterparts. Amy’s goal is to not only assist small business owners, but also fellow neurodivergents in reaching their full potential and to help her clients become the best version of themselves and reach their goals.
