2.00' Dee Coakley, co-founder of Boundless HQ explains how you can easily hire people no matter where in the world they are located, allowing them to continue working from there. She tells us of her early career organising tours for Beyonce and other world superstars and how she got fed up with that and decided to go on her own tour of the then nascent tech industry. She's now three years with Boundless, has already raised €5 million backed by VC Brian Caulfield (E 67) amongst others. She gave us an exclusive about her future funding and hiring plans. Boundless is boundless.

Her 'hire in a heartbeat' - Sarah Friar of NextDoor


30.00' Conor Duggan, co-founder of Box of Wine, told us about three men and a van full of wine. His early stage company has already turned over €500k, they've recruited two 'brilliant' investors and have plans to enter the much, much larger (and more competitive) market in the UK this year. The concept is simple, a monthly fee will see three bottles of wine, unique to Box of Wine, delivered to your door. It's the ideal year-long present for a client or special friend. Conor also tells us about winning Entrepreneur of the Year at just 12 years old...unfortunately not the EY competition of the same name, but one organised by a truly progressive teacher in his secondary school, CBC Monkstown in Dublin.

His 'hire in a heartbeat' - Amy Huberman (and he's willing to pay her with a three pack of rosé!)


50.00' Peter Leonard BL, will be joining TeamGBS for an occasional slot on the podcast bringing us free legal advice on business matters (tell us where to send our fee note!). This week he talks about a landmark High Court case regarding 'protected disclosure' or whistleblower legislation. The case involved frozen, defrosted and refrozen pizza sold to kids and 1,700 emails received in just one day. It's an essential listen for employers and employees because a successful claim under this legislation could mean compensation of up to FIVE years salary.

His 'hire in a heartbeat' - Virginia Giuffre (re Prince Andrew) lawyer, David Boies
