I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

The 2025 Budget Briefing, also recorded for a podcast, led by Jeff and his colleague, detailed the recent UK budget's implications on businesses and entrepreneurs. Jeff, a seasoned tax accountant with over 15 years of experience, provided insights into the extensive budget, highlighting key changes and their effects on business operations. Major points included significant increases in minimum wage and national insurance, affecting employer costs; changes to the employment allowance; and the importance of strategic planning around employee benefits and tax-efficient structures such as LLPs and EOTs. Jeff also covered the new capital gains tax rates, adjustments to reliefs, inheritance tax updates, the importance of timely planning, and the changing landscape for non-DOM rules and pension funds. Emphasis was placed on the need for businesses to plan for increased costs and consider productivity improvements and strategic tax planning to mitigate the impacts.
