From The Apprentice boardroom to building and exiting multiple businesses, Richard Woods has used his voice to create real‑world impact — for himself and for hundreds of entrepreneurs.

In this episode of Impact Through Voice, I sit down in the Dubai studio with Richard to unpack how he’s:

- Grown, scaled, and sold several businesses (including a plumbing company he ran without ever touching a boiler).

- Built a fast‑growing outsourcing company, Sprint VA, scaling from 3 to 167 VAs in just 18 months.

- Leveraged Africa as an underused outsourcing powerhouse to help business owners keep their phones ringing and inboxes pinging.

- Turned his TV appearance on The Apprentice UK into a platform for personal brand, opportunity, and media work.

- Recovered from a real‑time “freeze” on stage and what it taught him about preparation, courage, and being human on camera.

You’ll hear Richard and Lisa dive into:

- Why your elevator pitch can change everything — and how to craft one that actually makes people care

- The trap of doing everything yourself and how to step into the million‑dollar CEO role

- Richard’s 13‑week LinkedIn content system that keeps you visible without burning out

- The power of story, emotion, and vulnerability in business communication

- How to transition from one‑to‑one work to one‑to‑many impact, without losing connection

If you’re an entrepreneur, coach, or expert who knows you need to use your voice more boldly — on stage, online, or on LinkedIn — this conversation will give you both the inspiration and the strategy to step up and stand out.

Listen now to discover how to:

- Pitch yourself without feeling “too big for your boots”.

- Turn your expertise into leveraged offers and scalable programs.

- Build a personal brand that attracts clients, opportunities, and collaboration.
