Host of the UnNoticed Entrepreneur show on Radio Bath.

Steve Fountain, Content Director and co-founder of Radio Bath.

To raise the profile of entrepreneurs in Somerset, Wiltshire and the surrounding areas, I host a Talk & Tunes format radio show. 


It's a monthly, one hour live show where I ask a local entrepreneur to tell their story using their favourite tracks. It's like a desert island disks for the business community. 


We record on the 1st Tuesday of each month, between 11:00 - 12:00


Radio Bath is a volunteer radio station broadcasting online and on DAB across Bath, North East Somerset and West Wiltshire. Radio Bath was conceived in 2019 by Steve Fountain and Simon McNeill-Ritchie who were joined by Loraine Morgan-Brinkhurst MBE to complete the founding team.

Joe Karthauser was on the show Sept 5th, and here he is in the studio with Steve Fountain, producer, and myself.  Joe is the founder and CTO of TrueSpeed, an innovator in the provision of connectivity to businesses and homes in the SW of England.


Some key learning points Joe shared about being an entrepreneur include: - Dealing with uncertainty is intrinsic to being an entrepreneur. You have to act even without guarantees of success. - Having a vision or purpose of what you want to bring to the world is important, even if the specifics change along the way. 

- It's okay to pivot your idea or business as you learn more. You don't need to stick rigidly to your original plan. 

- Following your passions and fascinations can help guide your entrepreneurial journey. 

- Building something that changes the world will also mean the world changes you in turn through feedback and impact.

All smiles after the show. Jayla Wilcox, Steve Fountain and me in the studio.
" I found it a great deal of fun as a guest - the set up was light and not at all invasive or formal. The challenge of attributing songs to various scenarios of my business journey was a lot of fun and was a lovely was to piece my journey together I thought.

It was nice to get to speak about what and how and why I have arrived at the destination I am currently at and what motivates me to continue the journey. Very enjoyable. Thank you Jim"
