Episode 109 features three great women, three great entrepreneurs.Tracey Moran talks about her family business, the oh, so famous Red Cow Morans Hotel (she even suggests where the name came from...), she talks about the new Wren Urban Nest hotel situated near Dublin's Grafton Street (and she says she welcomes pitches from local businesses with sustainable products or services that she may be able to use). And that's not all. As we often say on #TeamGBS, if you want something done, then give it to someone busy to do. That's why she also is heading up (with others) the Inside Out Camps, for young adolescents, to help them cope. Her first camp is based in Dublin, but she's keen to spread then nationwide.The Local Enterprise Offices sent us two amazing women, and it's no surprise the LEO's are so keen on them. Both early stage companies have already gone international, and both sing and shout the praises of what the LEOs did for them, and what they could do for you. Sinead Crowther set up her business, Tonstix - they're sucky lollipops for sore throats -, over a Christmas period when she was going through a divorce, had quit her job and while one of her four children had suffered a serious accident. Her story, including being the first in her family to do her Leaving Cert, is AM-AZ-ING. Equally, Lisa Geoghegan, founder of Sonallife, is life affirming. You can't but smile when Lisa talks the hind leg off you. She's a born salesperson - something it seems she learnt from car dealer dad who runs a highly successful business, 'based in the middle of nowhere' according to Lisa. Lisa's company specialises in 'making communities' and developers pay her to do it. It's a clever, clever idea, so much so that she's in talks with CBRE in Australia with a view to bringing her idea to the other side of the world. And she's developed an app to keep her communities together. She'll make you smile.Find all episodes at www.ThatGreatBusinessShow.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
