Welcome to the Business Oddcast! If you are "odd", "Weird" or have a sprinkle of the spice and own a business or are self-employed then this is the podcast for you!

In our third episode this season we look at networking for the neurodiverse, and how to make the most of your local business network. We discuss challenges, issues and the impact of networking if you are autistic, ADHD or both. We offer our own ways of coping with the demands of going networking, and we don't take anything too seriously.

Hosted by Stuart Morrison & Hannah Logan, two self employed business owners who are "on the spectrum". We explore the issues surrounding neurodiversity and business networking and take a light hearted look at matters affecting NDs when out and about networking.

Presented by Stuart Morrison & Hannah Logan - we explore the fun, interesting and absurdities of living with a "spicy" brain and all things arising for those with an entrepreneurial spirit or exploring the idea of self-employment.
