Andy Roberts

Um, let me tell you the, the first time I read the Bible with someone.

I was, um, at the, uh, uh, the beginning of my second year at university, and there was a guy called Andy Roberts, and we were at rugby training, and, uh, we literally were doing a drill.

I said, "How was the summer?" He said, "Terrible." I said, "What happened?" He said, "My brother was killed in a farming accident." I said, "What?" He said, "Yeah, he went under a bit of machinery.

It broke, and it just landed on him, and he was killed outright.

Brass who were terrified of two things: public panic and projecting an image to the Soviet Union that American airspace was completely vulnerable to unknown intruders.

David Clark and Andy Roberts actually expand on that exact dynamic in their book, uh, Out of the Shadows.

Oh, yeah.

That's a great one.

It is home to two British government facilities, aside to the Ministry of Defence's Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, or DSTL, known for over 100 years as one of the UK's most secretive and controversial military research facilities.

Andy Roberts states in his book on the case UFO Down, which I have a link to in show notes, in 1958, Gavin Gibbons wrote a children's science fiction novel by Spaceship to the Moon, which featured a UFO landing on Moyle Sick in the Berwyn Mountains of North Wales.

16 years later, in a surreal case of life imitating art, those very same mountains would again be the focus of a story involving a downed UFO.

But this time, some said the story was for real.

I'm joined by Theo Butt, who's the CEO of Kinetic Insurance Services.

Andy Roberts, who's the CTO of the same company.

And Guillaume Bonnisson, who's the CEO of Quotec.

We've assembled this crew because we want to talk about Kinetic Insurance Services, launched in June by Convex.

So I applied for the position.

And Andy Roberts was the director of pharmacy back then.

superb leader who unfortunately suffered a stroke at a very early age and that kind of ended his career.

But Andy took me aside and said, you know, you'd be a very strong candidate for this job, but for your first job, you really ought to think about going outside of Minnesota.

But it was pretty funny.

What's a piece of advice that you received early on that may have seemed simple at the time but proved priceless over 50 years?

I'm going to go back to the Andy Roberts advice to explore that big world of pharmacy out there.

Detective Jones took note of this and just continued towards the home's driveway.

There he met up with a slightly older detective with a handlebar mustache, whose name was Andy Roberts.

Detective Jones and Detective Roberts shook hands, and then together they approached the front door.

Detective Jones noticed that the door did not look damaged at all, like it had not been pried or broken open.

We also have a very special guest with us for today's Blab.

At Marketing Labs, we recently hosted a charity carting event to raise money for Andy's Man Club.

Today, we're presenting a cheque from that fundraiser, and we thought, what better time to sit down and have a chat about how charities can raise their profile using digital marketing.

We're going to talk about what Andy's Man Club does, how the carting day went and then get into some real actionable ideas that charities could use to get more visibility and engagement online.

Today, I'm joined by Kaz Grant, our client success manager, Charlie Kinsella, our digital marketing executive, and finally, Sean from Andy's Man Club.

Welcome.

How are you?
