E142 That Great Business Show
John Larkin, founder The Black Stuff. The ultimate pivot? Professional poker player turns soap star. He learnt how to make soap watching YouTube videos, starting making his Guinness infused soap, naturally called The Black Stuff, at home two years ago. He's now employing 5 full time, plus part timers and he's just moved into new premises, big enough to grow 10X. John plans on cleaning up with his business. He's also just launched a natural deodorant. Could the scent be the sweet smell of success. It's a great story. And John is great fun.
Anthony Tattan, founder Business IN South Africa got to know how to do business there whilst working for an Irish based telecoms company. Having left the Irish business, and realising what was on offer from an English speaking, highly educated workforce, he decided he could help Irish business navigate their way there, where they can find a terrific 'can do' attitude that conveniently is almost on the same time zone as Ireland. He's already helping companies in the IT and accountancy sectors....and with skilled workers in severe short supply in Ireland, it's time to see what Anthony can recommend.
