Bobby's guest for this episode is a Fintech entrepreneur who sold his payment processing startup for over one hundred million euro. After 14 years in Ulster Bank, Colm Lyon risked it all to go out on his own and at one stage, his company was processing over twenty-five billion euro worldwide. He now owns a digital account business called Fire.com, invests in early startups and more.

Louise Phelan is an executive powerhouse. She has done it all in the corporate world. Born into a family of 17 in county Laois, Louise is best known for her role as Vice President of PayPal, where she set up a base for the company in County Louth, creating 1000 jobs. She now mentors others, sits on the board of Ryanair and enjoys life in her luxury apartment in the exclusive Lansdowne Place in Dublin 4. That’s where Bobby met Louise to talk Life and Leadership.

Pat Phelan has had a life less ordinary. From working as a butcher in the English Market to completing a multi-million-dollar deal in The States, he has an amazing story to tell. From a mobile roaming start-up to a fraud prevention success story and now a hugely popular cosmetic treatment chain, he has always followed his entrepreneurial instinct. Bobby sat down with Pat in his Sisu clinic on Oliver Plunkett street, Cork to hear his fascinating story and to talk life and leadership.

Bernard Brogan is best known for his countless appearances in a Dublin Football shirt. He is part of a Dublin GAA dynasty and holds 7 All Ireland medals, but he’s not just a success on the pitch, he is a big success in the business world too.
