Wicklow businessman Brendan Kavanagh (61) has an entrepreneurial skill for building connections and seeing gaps in the market. That has led him to set up multiple businesses including the successful education-technology focused Olive Group.
But what happens when some of his high profile business relationships turn sour?
TV sports pundit and psychotherapist Richie Sadlier has a tale to tell; so too has fitness influencer Mr Motivator (Derrick Evans).
And it has been a turbulent time in the boardroom of Grinds 360.
He cofounded the successful online grinds company in 2024 with investors that include former rugby player Brian O’Driscoll, who spoke in a video promoting its services, and Caelan Doris, who helped garner media attention.
Irish Times investigations editor Mark Tighe has been following Kavanagh’s career for two years.
Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan.
