E186 That Great Business Show with Conall Ó Móráin With thanks to MentorsWork.ie - a free government funded mentoring initiative. Check in out. On this episode, 186, Daniel Nugent of Amber Eyewear on why his company is now called everambr. He explains why you should avoid selling 'vertically' where you can run out of headroom. He's now finding sectors that he can keep adding products to sell to - going 'wide'. Clever. If you have ambitions to sell Direct to Consumer (DTC) online, you have got to listen to Dan. His 'hire in a heartbeat'? jake browne formerly of Peblo. Stephen O'Dwyer was born and raised in the leafy suburbs of South County Dublin where there's ne'er a sign of a horse, let along a thoroughbred. However, eating chips with his grandad at Fairyhouse, as a five year old, left its mark and biomedical engineer Stephen has launched TrojanTrack, a data driven system using an ordinary mobile phone, that will tell trainers, owners and vets if a horse is injured, even when not seen by the naked eye. His target market is the 800,000 thoroughbred horses in the US (as well as the 16,000 in Ireland, of course) and that's why he's raising €600,000 to bring his company on a worldwide gallop. His 'hire in a heartbeat'? It must be a bro-love thing as he's chosen PJ Maguire of Moonsyst International who was on the same Agcelerator as Stephen at NovaUCD. And, PJ it was who recommended Stephen to us - the definition of a circular economy? On our Business 101, supported by Big Red Cloud financial software, BRC sales manager Ian Hobbs and SISgate Pro owner, Liz Lavin, have some great tips about 'taking away the pain' for SMEs, including one we hadn't heard before. Liz explains how she very, very cleverly checks out potential acquisitions that she's looking at. All legal of course. But very interesting. Your company will benefit from these 'hands-on' tips. Ian also says that if you ring Big Red Cloud for advice he'll answer the phone to you. That's service. There are so many great business tips on this episode that it would be criminal not to share them with others in business. REPOST this LinkedIn post and tag them on it.

What a two weeks that has been! I was delighted to pitch TrojanTrack at the One-Zero Startups Final in the Aviva. The conference was fantastic and I met some great people furthering sports analytics, engagement, and performance. Well done to Tony Ryan for winning, and many thanks to Ross O'Dwyer, Jordan F. and the team for organising! No time to wait around as we were straight up to Cavan for the Horse Sport Ireland Stallion Selections the next morning. Hoping we can get promising results from our analysis to aid them with their future stallion selections. And to top it all off, I had my first visit to Cheltenham Racecourse to see the wonderful Lossiemouth win the Mares Hurdle at just five years of age. Fingers crossed that she shows some longevity in her career and can be held in the same regard as the likes of the great Honeysuckle. These are really exciting times for us, and would love to have as many people involved as possible. Feel free to send me a message if you want to chat!
