Extremely honest conversation with Founder and CEO of Breakthrough Maths! Get the inside scoop on life as an entrepreneur, where the passion stems from, overcoming challenges and blocking out the bullshit. Check out this fast paced episode to hear from a young driven Irish business man

Adam Leavy is a man of many talents, from gracing the field of play as a Rugby 7s Irish Olympian to being one of the founders alongside his brother, Dan Leavy, their father and a close family friend, of a new business, Ogham Whiskey. It was a pleasure to have him on the podcast! There was plenty to unpack in this one, speaking of his time in the Connaught academy, balancing this with two university degrees, getting involved with the Irish setup and Olympic qualification. We discover the origins of Ogham Whiskey, the ups and downs of the journey and the fine details that make this product so unique!

Really enjoyed this conversation and looking forward to seeing Adam and Ogham Whiskey go from strength to strength in the future.

Delighted to welcome Thomas Arnold on the podcast this week! This had been in the pipeline for nearly 2 years so we finally got the chance to sit down and get it recorded! We spoke about his company Fearless Media, his YouTube channel, where the entrepreneurial spirit came from and his goals for the future both personal and in business.

Thomas is a great role model and any chance you get to listen to him should be taken! Hope you enjoy this one!

Agus muid i mbun seachtain na Gaeilge, ní raibh am níos fear ann, chun an chéad eagrain as Gaeilge a dhéanamh de mo phodchraoladh ‘The Mixed Bag'.

Bhí me ag iarraidh seo a dhéanamh ar feadh tamaill agus is mór an onóir é a

dhéanamh le

Hugh Carr (cé go bhfuil blas níos fear aige)

Labhair muid faoi na deiseanna a chugann an Ghaeilge duit, tionchar Paul Mescal le déanaí agus an tabhacht í a choinneáil beo! Roinn Hugh linn, spriochanna s’aige sa todchaí agus go leor scéaltaí grannmhar ag rith tríd an phodchraoladh ar fad!

As we are in the Seachtain na Gaeilge, there was no better time to do an episode of my podcast 'The Mixed Bag' in Irish. I've been wanting to do this for a while and it's a great honor to do it with Hugh Carr (although he has better Irish than me).

We discussed the opportunities that the Irish language has given him, Paul Mescal's recent influence and the importance of keeping it alive! Hugh shared with us, his goals for the future and lots of funny stories throughout the whole podcast!

From playing down under in the AFL, lining out for Sligo GAA and setting up his own business alongside his day job, I had a lot to discuss with my guest Luke Towey. We chatted about his journey of being scouted for the AFL and his experiences working in a professional high performance environment. Luke's entrepreneurial spirit is on show in this episode as he speaks about his desire to have his own business, hence setting up Sabhna Saunas. He speaks of his goals for the future on the field of play and in the business world, while also sharing some important messages and key takeaways that are relevant for everyone throughout the episode.

On this weeks episode we have professional Fifa player Cormac "Doolsta" Dooley, who is currently signed with New York Redbulls on the podcast. We met back in 2017 at the GAA Continental Youth Championships in New York and I just had to have him on! Hailing from Galway, Cormac moved to the States when he was 16 where he honed his skills to become a professional player. 

On this episode we get an insight into the world of E-Sports and how he was introduced to the industry. We hear about how he balances playing Fifa professionally, studying at university and playing college soccer. He tells some stories of some of the players he has met throughout his journey (Rooney, Kaka, Ibrahimovic etc.) as well as how many controllers he has broken over the years.

He speaks of the psychology behind the game, how it is 95% mental and why finding the balance between training and playing is paramount.

Even if gaming or sports isn't your thing, there is something to take out of it for everyone! Tune in now!
