About your co-host: Davie Fogarty from The Oodie

Davie Fogarty, a 28-year old university drop out and entrepreneur, started out by baking biscuits to sell at school, and by 16 had started his first side hustle, re-selling products on eBay. He tried many businesses, from personal training to seasonings, even a Vietnamese roll shop, before he found his groove with The Oodie and Calming Blankets in 2018, when he was just 23 years old. This quickly developed into The Davie Group, a group which encompasses multiple e-commerce brands as well as a recently developed software tool. Over the past year, Davie has also started sharing his knowledge on social media, including a YouTube channel and podcast appearances, with hopes to help other aspiring entrepreneurs reach their goals and financial freedom.
