The Reality of Business
Welcome to The Reality of Business with Bob & Jeremy, your go-to podcast for insights, stories, and practical advice on all things business.
Since meeting at drama school in 1991, we've been lifelong friends and business partners, drawing on over two decades of experience running a successful sales and management training company together. With Reality Training at the heart of our journey, we've coached thousands, spoken at countless conferences, and travelled the world, gathering a treasure trove of stories, insights, and actionable advice along the way.
Originally launched during the lockdown of June 2021 as Bob & Jeremy’s Conflab, this podcast has evolved into The Reality of Business. Each episode offers a blend of thought-provoking discussions on the most pressing business topics, light-hearted banter, and real-world wisdom to help you think differently and make positive changes in your professional life.
Whether you’re listening as you multitask at work, relaxing at home, or on the move, we've crafted every episode to bring value, a fresh perspective, and a smile to your face. Tune in to discover what you didn't know about the world of business and beyond.
We proudly work with organisations of all sizes, from global corporations to ambitious start-ups, through our company, Reality Training – www.realitytraining.com.

Teambuilding Part 2 – Bletchley Park & Codebreaking
In this podcast, brought to you by Reality Training, we report on our recent teambuilding trip to the codebreakers site, Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire.
We learnt how the teams there, through WW2, broke the codes of the enemy and how that contributed to the winning of the war. By the end of the war over 8500 people, mostly women it must be said, were working at the site, deciphering, and translating messages, and using this intelligence to direct the course of the conflict.
At this site, the very first pieces of modern technology were created. The first computers, the first machines that were used to calculate the answer to impossible questions. It’s well worth a visit.
This visit taught us a great deal about ‘backroom’ people, whose contribution to an effort or organisation, is often forgotten, and how essential their roles can be in creating success. In this case, most of the people on this site would have returned to their homes after the war with no heralding of their achievements.
Please listen, reflect, and share.
