    ARCHEOLOGY, BROCHS AND THE NORTH COAST OF SCOTLAND | Kenneth McElroy | Season 2 Episode 9

    In this episode, I'm joined by Kenneth McElroy one of the founders of the Caithness Broch Project. In our discussion, Kenneth explains what a broch is, why they're important, why heritage tourism is important for more remote areas of Scotland and gives his musings on archeology in general. It's a great conversation. If you don't know what a broch is I've included a picture here...but Kenneth goes into some detail during the conversation.

    INSIDE THE VAULT - THE PERSON BEHIND IRELAND'S ONLY DEDICATED LUXURY WATCH BOUTIQUE | Nico van der Horst | Season 2 Episode 7

    This week on the show I'm joined by Nico van der Horst. Nico started Pride and Pinion - Ireland's only dedicated luxury watch boutique - with modest loan from the bank and a plan to buy and sell watches. Since then he's gone on to open the Vault, Pride and Pinion's first shop inside the Merchant Hotel in Belfast. In our show Nico talks about his views on entrepreneurship, why he loves luxury watches and timekeeping devices in general and his favourite watches. Aside from being able to geek out about watches for a nearly an hour we also chat about Nico's approach to entrepreneurship which stems from his Grandfather, and why he's not just in business for the money. In a way watches rescued Nico from a job that he barely tolerated and a long commute which he hated. He used watches to escape the hum-drum of a predictable life and built the life he wanted. An inspiring story. You can follow along with the Pride and Pinion journey over on their Instagram (@PrideandPinion), and you can check out their website if you want to browse their collection. Even better though, you can call into the Vault in the Merchant Hotel and meet Nico yourself, try on some watches and learn a thing or two about the stories behind them.

    THOUGHTS FROM A 10 YEAR OLD | Noah McCormick | Season 2 Episode 4

    This episode is a bit different. For a start, it wasn't necessarily planned! I sat down and recorded a brief conversation with my youngest brother and we chatted through funny nicknames (Stinky Poo McGrick), his thoughts on Brexit and what he believes are some of the 'big issues' in the world today.
