No complaints, no court cases, no politics. Just a genuine milestone and a renewed sense of excitement about what's coming next.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><h3>What We Cover</h3><p><br></p><p><strong>Happy Birthday, Paragon Creative Studios</strong> Two years ago to the day of recording, Rob received the keys to the studio space in Countesthorpe, Leicestershire. Paragon Creative Studios (PCS) was born — not all at once, but bit by bit, piece by piece, gradually built into what it is today.</p><p><br></p><p>To mark the occasion, Rob and the team have just invested in a refresh. New reception desk. New white and cream sets. Plans for additional sets in the pipeline. The studio is looking cleaner, fresher, and more capable than ever.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>An Honest Admission</strong> Rob holds his hands up: PCS has effectively been treated as a side hustle. Given everything else going on in the business, it hasn't received the attention it deserves. But he's sitting on an asset that could genuinely thrive — and he knows it. That changes now.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>What Reignited the Passion</strong> Two things:</p><p><br></p><p>First, competition. A contact of Rob's has just opened a new studio in Leicester — and it looks great. Rather than feeling threatened, Rob says it's given him exactly the rocket he needed. Being pushed by someone doing good work is a good thing.</p><p>Second, content. Rob's hobby content around movies and physical media has pulled him into a deeper understanding of cinematography, social media strategy, and what makes content actually work. All of that is now feeding back into how he thinks about PCS — and it's exciting.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>What's Coming</strong> A redesigned website, an overhauled social media presence, new sets, and a renewed push to make PCS the go-to content studio in Leicestershire. Watch the socials.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>If You're in Leicestershire</strong> Whether you need a space for a podcast, talking head videos, social media content, or photography — PCS has the kit, the capability, and the know-how. Rob would love to welcome you in.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><h3><br></h3><h3>Key Takeaway</h3><p>Sometimes the thing that reignites your passion for a business you already own is a competitor doing well, a hobby that teaches you something new, or simply a milestone worth celebrating. All three landed at once here.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Massive thank you to my partners - make sure you give </strong></p><p><strong>them some love:</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Paragon Creative Studios - <a href=\"https://open.acast.com/networks/6647634e56d2d80012f725da/shows/69c10235007cdcf83fa7de58/episodes/www.paragoncreativestudios.co.uk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.paragoncreativestudios.co.uk </a></p><p>monday.com - <a href=\"https://try.monday.com/9fu602qtcgca\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://try.monday.com/9fu602qtcgca </a></p><p>Xero - <a href=\"https://referrals.xero.com/i5kqkglg3n3w-nx0cim\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://referrals.xero.com/i5kqkglg3n3w-nx0cim </a></p><p>Apollo.io - <a href=\"https://get.apollo.io/b3kjbubqrsvl\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://get.apollo.io/b3kjbubqrsvl</a></p>","author_name":"Rob Spence"}
