“Bats are awesome and endlessly fascinating” - and it’s a good job too, because this is the second part of a two-part conversation all about the flying mammals! After rain stopped play last week, this in-depth conversation with Prof. Kate Jones (UCL’s resident bat expert and Harrison Ford worrier) picks back up by pitting megabats against microbats. From there we discuss how the US army attempted to militarise bats, how bats are helping to save humans billions of pounds, how to make your garden more bat friendly, and we dig deep into the sonic war that has been taking place for millions of years, pitting bat-kind against their age-old nemeses, the moths!

Kate is a marketing tutor at Pearson College and is mad about brands, branding and the way people interact with brands.  As such she is an expert in getting a message across to someone.  Who better then to talk about how to get loads of marks for the writing and structure of your work.  

Part Indiana Jones, part David Attenborough - and a real live descendant of Charles “Origin of the Species” Darwin - Professor Kate Jones is a professor of ecology and biodiversity at UCL. A previous recipient of the Leverhulme award, she spends a LOT of time researching the relationships between animals and humans, in particular keeping an eye on mammals and the infectious diseases they may happen to pass onto us (think SARS, think Ebola, oh, and think COVID-19.) On top of that, she is one of the world’s experts on Chiroptera, aka BATS, and has led massive bat monitoring studies with citizen scientists all over the world with the Bat Conservation Trust. This is a two-part interview, but even by the end of part one, you’ll agree that perhaps the most infectious thing about bats is how simply incredible they are. For instance: without bats there would be no tequila, and while some bats drink blood, others catch fish from the surface of the water, or pluck songbirds from the air, mid-flight, at night! And, did you know, that 1 in 5 mammal species on this planet is, you’ve guessed it, a bat!

Today I talk with Kate Jones of Kate Waldo and Co. She’s the organizational queen. Kate is a professional organizer for influencers, and she gives them the tools they need to streamline and organize the behind-the-scenes of their businesses so they can focus on what they love.

In this episode, we talk about one of the things that used to stress me out the most in my business: finances and taxes. It can be an uncomfortable topic, but we’re going to show you today how you can change that.

Kate is passionate about this topic because part of her own business is to help bloggers organize every aspect of their operation, which includes optimizing their finances and taxes.

Necessary disclaimer: neither of us are CPAs and we’re simply giving our advice on how we handle tax season. Regardless, this episode contains a lot of good advice that can help you feel less stressed about taxes and finances.

“I think the most important thing to keep in mind is that what you do is valuable and it is not a strength of everyone else. It’s your job to bring it to the world to help other people do something that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to do.”

In this episode Kate talks about:

• Basic tips around organizing your finances.
• How to get a handle on your money and how often you should be checking in on it.
• The top mistakes Kate sees entrepreneurs making when it comes to taxes.

• Make sure you have separate business and personal accounts. You’ll be thankful when tax season rolls around. Likewise, stay on top of your book keeping to make things run smoothly!
• You should have a reliable timetable around checking your finances. Start with a check in every week, and a deep-dive every month. If you’re hiring out this service, you can have reports sent to you on a regular basis, but “not checking” is not an option.
• Ignorance is bliss, except when it comes to taxes. Make sure you take it seriously. Put money aside and track the items you can write off. You don’t want to get to tax time and find out you owe thousands of dollars, or can’t prove your write offs.
