On today's podcast I continue my conversation with Saiphin Moore, the founder of the successful chain of restaurants in the UK, Rosa's Thai.

Saiphin chats about opening a food stall at a Sunday market and then the very first Rosa's Thai in Spitalfields in London in 2008, some of her celebrity guests, and how she grew this business to a chain of 40 across restaurants in the UK.

She chats about the magic formula behind the success as well as her other ventures such as Lao Cafe in Covent Garden and her cookbooks.

Saiphin says she loves to cook and her bst day is when she cooks for her friends.

On today's podcast I chat with Saiphin Moore, the founder of the successful chain of restaurants across the UK, Rosa's Thai.

In part one I chat with Saiphin about the village in Thailand where she grew up, her love of cooking and her first little food business at the age of 14.

She also chats about her brave move to Hong Kong, then to Jersey and back again, and then to London where she desperately wanted to start in the food business all over again. Despite her lack of English and knowledge about this new country she eventually managed to open a food stall at a Sunday market.

On today's podcast I chatted with Shelly Rourke, the owner of Shelly's, an online baked goods gift business.

Shelly is one of the early stage entrepreneurs participating in the UCC Ignite accelerator programme and as one of the marketing sessions was wrapping up recently the group started chatting about the horrific attacks by Hamas in Israel.

Shelly took everyone by surprise when she announced to the group that she had very recently been to an international summer camp in the West Bank and opened up about her experience.

Shelly chats about her life and career, discovering at the age of 21 that she had two siblings she never knew about, why this architect started a baked goods business and how she exactly ended up at the Lajee Centre in Aida, a refugee camp, 2kms north of Bethlehem in the West Bank, and the perspective that gives her on the recent horrific events.

As you might expect this was a big conversation

I hope you enjoy the show

On today's podcast I chat with nature, hurling and dog lover, Anne Harrington Rees.

When Anne says that "Nature is my reason for being, it's my whole life", you know she means it!

After a debilitating illness the Kilkenny native had to give up her landscaping career and she then turned to arts and crafts when she recovered. She now runs a successful business, Anne Harrington Rees Designs, inspired by her love of nature.

She chatted about the challenge of running an arts and crafts business, the very special relationship that we have with dogs, the practice of green sketching and how she loves selling at markets.

While on honeymoon in Kenmare in the late seventies her husband George asked her to make a diversion to the small little village of Crookhaven, the most southerly point of Ireland.

Whatever it was about this special place, Claire was hooked and shortly after she moved here and bought the famous Marconi House, the home of Gugliamo Marconi, the father of wireless, which became her home and then her business,

Claire shares her colourful story as well as having a big conversation about happy beans and sad beans.

I discovered an eclectic treasure trove of a shop called 'East Meets West' in the beautiful town of Schull in West Cork.

When I chatted with the owner, Amanda Connell, I discovered the most fascinating person who has had a life and career with the most interesting twists and turns.

She left her little village in Norfolk in England after she told her parents at just nine years of age that it was time to move on, and she has never looked back!
