The Business Post Podcast · Ivan Yates on going from €80k a week to bust and how to win the game of life · 24 Sep 2026 podcast

So George Osborne is in Dublin, he's now working for OpenAI, so we have a a live podcast event in Dublin and we'll be broadcasting that. voice-verified

But our guest today is a very special guest and someone who I've been used to being in studio with and he's certainly no stranger to being in front of the voice-verified

Microphone or in front of a camera. voice-verified

He is Ivan Yates former minister, former bookie, turned broadcaster and, you know, as he says himself, you know, serial entertainer, as he sees himself not as a journalist, but as an entertainer. voice-verified

But the reason we're talking is that he has a new book out, The Game of Life and How to Win It, is the title of it. voice-verified

And he came into us in uh our studio in the last few days to go through everything, go through why the motivation for writing the book. voice-verified

I suppose his exit from frontline politics and and from podcasting and all the rest of it and broadcasting. voice-verified

And I suppose, you know, as he says himself as a sixty-six year old, he's beginning that transition into full on retirement. voice-verified

But um Ivan Aids, as I've always known him, was good value, good crack, certainly not averse to the odd swear word or F bomb. voice-verified

So there's plenty of that and and eating and drinking in it. voice-verified

Peter, you listened to the intro, I don't know. voice-verified

What what was your voice-verified

Your overall assessment has bought. voice-verified

Here we are. voice-verified

And and I suppose l let me declare up up front, you know, we do get into the voice-verified

uh circumstances of his departure from the very successful Path to Power podcast uh with Matt Cooper and I suppose let me declare myself and John Lee were the first people to replace Ivan when uh that departure happened late last year. voice-verified

Uh and w we still kind of appear once a month on that podcast with Matt. voice-verified

And Matt, as we everyone will know is a star columnist with us, you know, for of longstanding. voice-verified

So um voice-verified

But it was interesting even to get his his perspective on that and h you know, to go go through that. voice-verified
