Podcast, podcast, podcast, right?

Turn off the comments.

Yeah, well, no, I was delighted.

And I said, do you know what?

Well, I replied to them going, oh, I'd love to do it if Colin's going to do it.

Here you are now.

I want to learn all about who Colin Tobin is because I think a lot of people are like, oh, Colin Tobin, you know, very prominent in the North Side, very prominent in Cork City for being so generous and helpful to so many people.

But I suppose I want to know is who's the real Colin Tobin, where he grew up.

From this aspect, Colin, you failed many, many times in your business ventures.

I think people, they see what's on the surface as an all success.

But for people listening, I think that might be in business or might be in personal issues or something like that.

So give me a bit of a background where you grew up and what it was like.

And then did you want to go to college or did you just want to go into trade or you said you were working in bars?

Oh my God.

And then when your mom found out, what was she like?

So that work ethic was instilled in you at such a young age?

And then, Colin, in your later teens, when we'll say your friends might have been going, doing apprenticeships, they might have been going to university.

What were you doing after that?

Just working behind the bar.

And then with the other business ventures, how did they come about?
