Nobody hands you a manual when you start a business. That's why I created this podcast, the closest thing to one I could build. Hey, I'm Alexis Charkiw and I cover the stuff that actually keeps business owners up at night (money, strategy, AI, growth) and I promise to always explain it in plain English. You belong in this conversation, and I want you to feel that way every single episode.

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Nobody warns you that growing your business also means growing yourself.</p> <p>After speaking to thousands of founders over the years, I've noticed the same thing holds almost every business back at some point: confidence. Not skill, not the market, not the support around them. Confidence.</p> <p>I'm sharing:</p> <ul> <li>Why founders don't have the structure employees do and what that does to your self-belief</li> <li>The moment I realised my mum, my very first employee, taught me more about letting go than anyone since</li> <li>My "rubber band" way of picturing why delegation feels so hard when it's genuinely your baby</li> <li>Why founders who've been burnt by a bad hire hesitate to try again and why that's worth naming</li> <li>Why I believe you can't separate the growth of your business from the growth of you as a person</li> </ul> <p>Because the business only grows as far as you're willing to grow with it.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Let's Connect:</strong></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.alexischarkiw.co.uk/home">Website</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexis-charkiw/">LinkedIn</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.instagram.com/alexis_rightclick/">Instagram</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@alexischarkiw">TikTok</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Be sure to check out:</strong></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.alexischarkiw.co.uk/work-with-me">Ways to work with me</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://rightclickaccounting.com/">Right Click Accounting</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.blacklineacademy.com/">Blackline Academy</a></p>

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Three days before my biggest talk yet, I turned to my husband and said I couldn't do it.</p> <p>I'd said yes to speaking at the ICC in Newport, my biggest stage yet, and by the Wednesday before, I was ready to back out. This week's a bit different: a personal, unedited reflection on the anxiety, the doubt, and the prep that got me through it.</p> <p>I'm sharing:</p> <ul> <li>How I ended up speaking there in the first place and why I hadn't even applied</li> <li>The moment I found out I was filling a slot meant for someone I deeply admire and what that did to my head</li> <li>What anxiety actually feels like in my body and why I think that's worth talking about</li> <li>The conversation with my husband three days before, when I genuinely considered pulling out</li> <li>The unglamorous prep that got me on stage: from charging my clicker twice to sorting my outfit down to the underwear</li> </ul> <p>Because confidence isn't the absence of fear. It's doing the thing anyway, toes curling and all.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Let's Connect:</strong></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.alexischarkiw.co.uk/home">Website</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexis-charkiw/">LinkedIn</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.instagram.com/alexis_rightclick/">Instagram</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@alexischarkiw">TikTok</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Be sure to check out:</strong></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.alexischarkiw.co.uk/work-with-me">Ways to work with me</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://rightclickaccounting.com/">Right Click Accounting</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.blacklineacademy.com/">Blackline Academy</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Useful Links:</strong></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://substack.com/@lucyccohen">Lucy Cohen Substack</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://open.spotify.com/episode/0ZDB0sW4gsbvqMxpMMQucG?si=THCWYftBSMKonPBQWbZzYA"> The CLEAR Way to AI-Ready Finance (Talk)</a></p>
July 16, 2026
<p>I recently spoke on the biggest stage I've ever stood on. ICC Newport, a session on AI in finance, and I was terrified.</p> <p>This week's episode is a bit different. Instead of talking to you directly, I'm sharing some of what I said on that stage: the pain points I see in businesses every day, the framework I've built to fix them and why AI isn't going to save you if your finances are a mess first.</p> <p>I'm sharing:</p> <ul> <li>Why you need to be AI ready before you can be AI led, and what the "messy middle" actually looks like</li> <li>My CLEAR framework: Clean, Live, Enhanced, Accountable and Relevant data</li> <li>A real story about a business that hit £3.5 million in turnover, on paper, before its Frankensteined systems caught up with it</li> <li>What Shadow AI is and why your team might already be using it without telling you</li> <li>Why I don't think AI replaces the human in the loop, and what that means for accountants</li> </ul> <p>Because whether you're excited about AI or dreading it, the businesses that win won't be the ones with the flashiest tools. They'll be the ones who got their data right first.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Let's Connect:</strong></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.alexischarkiw.co.uk/home">Website</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexis-charkiw/">LinkedIn</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.instagram.com/alexis_rightclick/">Instagram</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@alexischarkiw">TikTok</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Be sure to check out:</strong></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.alexischarkiw.co.uk/work-with-me">Ways to work with me</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://rightclickaccounting.com/">Right Click Accounting</a></p> <p><a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href= "https://www.blacklineacademy.com/">Blackline Academy</a></p>
