Continuing The Rolling with The Rowes tour, I’m joined by Joe Gaughan, co founder of Chipeen (@chipeenofficial) in Galway.

Joe and I first met in the most random way in Times Square, New York, I naturally intended to start with that story but I always fuck up the intro - but we got there eventually!

We talk about building and growing a business, the realities and challenges of being an entrepreneur, taking risks, the things you learn along the way and the people who help you get there.

Joe talks about bringing Chipeen to life and what sets Chipeen apart. Be prepared to learn a lot about potatoes!

The episode was filmed at GK Studios, home of Garry Talks (@Garry_talks). My Mom, Mary Rowe (queen), also came along for the day and took on the very important role of being my PA. Thanks Mom!!! <3

A conversation about business, ambition, taking a chance on yourself and what it’s really like to build something from the ground up.

I hope you guys enjoy this one. Thanks for coming on the show Joe :)

In this episode of Rolling with the Rowes, I’m joined by my friend Dervla McDonnell, one of the people behind Dublin’s Bring Your Own Film (BYOF).

Dervla tells me how the idea for BYOF came about, what it’s like creating a space for filmmakers and creatives in Dublin, and why building your own opportunities can sometimes be the only way to get things moving.

We also get into the reality of life as a creative ; the uncertainty, the pressure to constantly be making something, figuring out what you actually want to do, and trying to build a career around something you genuinely care about.

A chat about film, creativity, Dublin, and figuring it all out as you go.

This week on Rolling with the Rowes, Jack sits down with Patrick Blood, co-founder of The Shift App, Ireland’s first social and dating app of its kind.

They chat about modern dating culture, building a business from the ground up and the challenges of creating something new in Ireland’s social and dating space.

This episode is all about connection, entrepreneurship and the changing ways we meet people in today’s world.

Mitch who was in New York to present the Shift dating show at Mor Fest, so naturally I had to get him on the podcast.

What started as a chat quickly turned into the Shite Talk Olympics, with both of us going for gold.

We talk about our careers and navigating the world of media, what it’s like to go viral, Ronan’s time working with iRadio & RTE, dating, relationships, Love Island, life in Ireland and the reality of emigration and leaving home to chase opportunities elsewhere.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed making it. Thank you so much to Ronan for coming on the show!

On today’s episode, I’m joined by Amanda, aka The Joytender. (@notyouraverageslideshow)

I first met Amanda at Seanchoiche, where we both spoke on the theme of “childhood.” I was immediately fascinated by her story, and in this episode, we sit down to explore it in more detail.

Amanda tells me about her project “Dad, Playboy & Me,” which began during Covid when she recovered more than 10,000 of her father’s 35mm photographs. Among the collection, she discovered photographs connected to the Playboy resort. Rather than simply sell the photographs back to the Hefner family, Amanda transformed them into her own performance and art project, “Not Your Average Slideshow.” She has even spoken with members of the Hefner family about her discovery.

Amanda also explains how she became The Joytender, bringing her unique form of performance and play to Central Park with her “Joytending Station,” complete with puppets. She talks about her puppet performances, including one featuring Donald Trump and his father, as well as her wider activism and the role that art and performance play in her life.

Amanda is one of those people you don’t meet every day, and I wanted to share her story because it is genuinely fascinating, unexpected and completely her own.

This was such an interesting conversation, and I hope you enjoy getting to know Amanda as much as I did.

Hello folks, I am back with some new episodes of Rolling with The Rowes. This time around, it will be just myself, Jack, sitting down with people that I find interesting, funny, cool and have a story to tell.

I discovered Sidnye on TikTok when I was researching moving to New York. Sidnye Nikole currently has over 13k followers on TikTok. She is most well known for documenting how she moved to NYC with just $700 in her pocket. Sidnye details how she did it, where she has lived in the city and gives some pointers on how to close a good deal. I wanted to get her on the show to share some pointers and get a new perspective on life in the city.

On top of that, we talk some shite. Of course! Dating, favourite bars in the city, new housemates and all that good stuff.

New episodes coming in the coming weeks!!

Thank you for listening

This weeks guest will have you rolling around laughing. Ladies & gentlemen, ASH CARROLL !

White Claws were cracked open for this one. Ash Carroll joins the podcast to chat about how we met at Perpetua, our experiences travelling, Dublin nights out, her visit to New York, and what it was really like being on First Dates Ireland.

A fun conversation filled with stories, laughs, and a few unexpected detours.

This is not the last you have seen of Ash on this show!

On this weeks episode, Jack is back.

Jack and Sarah recap their trips to Boston, leading Jack to taking a trip down memory lane from his time in Boston.

Scoot recently ran the Boston marathon in under 3 hours, meaning Sarah won't be breaking up with him! Do you guys agree that running with headphones on makes you soft?

Sarah details a harrowing encounter with a man who was trying to rob her student house in Dublin.

The Young Hoe Rowe segment covers some age old games and some typical Rowe behaviour.

Coming to you live from Ballina, welcome to our Rolling series!

Today we join Sarah, Lorna and Grainne in a conversation about motherhood, family and growing up in Ballina. 

Thank you to Tara Doherty for recording and editing this episode!
