  • Kyle Dent of Shamrocks

    Kyle Dent joins me to tell the Shamrocks origin story. Like most businesses, they had to make a transition of how they thought they would do business after thier first year. We talk about how Shamrocks has evolved and how they made it through Covid. Kyle and I then get into some of our most hated bands, and bucket list concerts.
