• Ignored by Government, ‘cancelled’ by media – Paul Treyvaud’s travails

  Buckle up and get ready for this one, because Paul Treyvaud has a LOT to say. Paul is a successful restauranteur with a great business, an Amazon Prime series, and a whole lot of TV experiences under his belt.But recently, Paul has also become a very vocal and widely-publicised critic of a range of government policies that he predicts are about to trigger a ‘tsunami’ of closures in the tourism sector. In this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast, Paul lets rip about crazy covid policies, why Ireland’s immigration approach has not worked, and why he thinks he has been effectively cancelled from radio and tv appearances. Paul also shares some great stories from his time in the restaurant trade and the well-known people that he and his master-chef father Michel have had the pleasure of cooking for.

• Karl Deeter – from being crushed by the recession to a €9m payday

  Karl Deeter has been a guest on my podcast, and my radio show before that, many times. We always have a great chat about US politics, his take on Trump (which is always interesting), and the big ticket political and societal issues in Ireland.But Karl is also an entrepreneur and has been one of the country’s leading mortgage brokers for many years. A few years ago he developed a tech platform that brought a very welcome and much-needed digital layer to the mortgage application process, and that innovation, combined with many years of hard work and creative thinking, has just delivered a major payday for Karl, and, just as importantly, a true validation of his idea.So we invited Karl back on to The Mario Rosenstock Podcast straight away to tell us the full story – from how he spent years trying to figure out what he was good at, to being ‘crushed’ by the 2008 recession, right up to selling his company in a multi-million euro deal just days ago.COMEDY - Taylor swift has just appeared on her very first podcast, and its not even a music podcast!

• Tadhg Hickey on criticising Israel and ‘becoming dangerous’

  It has been just over a year since I last chatted with comedian and writer Tadhg Hickey here on the podcast. But since then, things have really moved up a gear for Tadhg, some of it good and some not so good. Tadhg has been a very vocal critic of Israel’s war on Gaza and a staunch supporter of Palestine, and his online videos and comedy sketches about the issue have always been popular. But over the past year his profile has grown significantly and, as well as winning new supporters, he has been attracting new critics. Why? Because, as he describes, he has ‘become dangerous’.So I asked Tadhg to join me again here on The Mario Rosenstock Podcast to chat about the crazy year that he has had – from his continued activism and the negative attention it has been attracting, to his trip to Iran and thoughts on how the Irish and the Iranian people share a lot in common, the new satirical tv show that he is making, and lots more. COMEDY – Its not long before one of Ireland’s most anticipated concerts of the year is here, Oasis! Liam Gallagher has been getting all sorts of messages from the likes of Ronan Keating, Louis Walsh, and Daniel O’Donnell. We got exclusive access to his mailbox…

• What happens when you sell your company for €25m?

  What would you do if you created a company, built it up, and then sold it in a multimillion euro deal? Would you book the first flight to Bali and lie on a beach for the rest of your days? Well, this wasn’t the route that my guest on this episode took.Having sold his company Pigsback.com for over €25m just a few years ago, Michael Dwyer had a very different plan in mind– to work hard at becoming a top poker player and rise through the world’s poker rankings, playing across the Irish, European and World Series of Poker tours. And things have been going very, very well for him indeed.So in this episode Michael and I chat about quitting a safe pensionable job to start a company, all of the highs and lows of building a business – and then selling it for millions; why he loves tournament poker and the success he has been enjoying, taking the right approach to risk, why the cryptocurrency sceptics need to open their minds, and plenty more.COMEDY – Donald Trump takes to the podium and he’s got a very important message.Produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand
