I’m listening to a superb podcast episode of The GAA Social at the moment. It is an interview with the great Jackie Tyrrell, winner of 9 All-Ireland hurling medals with Kilkenny. Tyrrell’s obsession with hurling, his commitment, Brian Cody’s management methods, stories of Tommy Walsh and Henry Shefflin rolling around on the ground in training,… Continue reading Fascinating podcast episode with Jackie Tyrrell (9 All Irelands) worth a listen

The most pleasing thing about these podcast stats
One stat that I always notice when I log into my Spotify account for my podcast, the Irish Law and Small Business Podcast, is the average number of listens per episode. This figure was at 72 or thereabouts for a long time. And I was happy with this figure. Now, however, the figure has increased… Continue reading The most pleasing thing about these podcast stats
How I am voting in the upcoming referendums
I know this girl who has done a great job in rearing 2 children on her own over the last 20 years or so. The relationship with the father did not work out, and she never married anyone else. As sure as day follows night, they are a family. I know another girl who has… Continue reading How I am voting in the upcoming referendums
Monetising my YouTube channel with Patreon or YouTube membership
I often think about using Patreon or YouTube membership to provide an income stream from my YouTube channel. I have looked into both to see which is better, more advisable and what are the differences.

Ignoring comments-the rationale
I am generating so many comments on so many platforms with some of my videos now that the best thing to do is ignore them. Good or bad, just ignore them. You could get bogged down and distracted by negative comments, and falsely emboldened by positive, fawning ones, that the best strategy is probably to… Continue reading Ignoring comments-the rationale

I was faced with a dilemma this week regarding my email marketing account. I have this email marketing account with Aweber. I have over 10,000 subscribers to various email lists (property, employment law) which I have worked hard to build up over the years. These lists have been tremendously profitable for me and were the… Continue reading I worked hard for 10 years building these email marketing lists
How I will decide in the referendums
I have not given the proposed referendums a great deal of scrutiny or review. I have listened to the arguments on the radio and TV and seen some comment online on Twitter and elsewhere. But I will not claim to be completely conversant with the text we are being asked to approve or disapprove. My… Continue reading How I will decide in the referendums

Is a schoolteacher equipped to make good decisions about corporate governance?
I looked up Catherine Martin’s background last week, given the controversy surrounding RTE governance, the resignation of the Chair of the Board of RTE, Siún Ní Raghallaigh. My suspicion was correct: she was a schoolteacher. A teacher of English and Music in a community school for 15 years. Being a schoolteacher is a hugely importantly… Continue reading Is a schoolteacher equipped to make good decisions about corporate governance?
