A podcast set up by a Bristol entrepreneur to help business people worldwide is celebrating its 100th show online.

The groundbreaking Mind Your Own Business podcast was the idea of Guy Kingston, from Bristol, along with John Richards.

It gives owners free advice on how to better run their businesses and has grown in popularity during the economic downturn as a source of valuable information.

The show can be downloaded through iTunes, so people can listen on their iPod, or can be found on www.myobpod.com.

Mr Kingston, who lives in Long Ashton and graduated from Bristol University, said: "We started the podcast in September 2005 as we thought there was real need for rational, logical and well-researched business advice.

"Many so-called business advisers have very little real-world experience of running a business and end up giving poor advice.

"In many cases the advice may be based on something they read in a book and not something they have experienced, but John and I have that experience.

"I really think that businesses can benefit from advice which is based on real-life experience, especially considering the tough economic climate at the moment."

Tough climates are something that Mr Kingston is more than familiar with as during the Nineties he set up a successful mail business PXPost in post-communist Russia.

His co-presenter John Richards, who is based in South Wales, is a business specialist responsible for writing the Bluffers Guide To Small Business among other things.

The podcast has always featured a lot of content and feedback from listeners.

Within the last year the Mind Your Own Business team have started using social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter to interact with its audience.

Mind Your Own Business has its own Facebook business group of more than 1,000 members and Mr Kingston also updates his Twitter page www.twitter.com/guykingston with the latest news.
