Today, I am going to share 6 businesses you can start working on & making money from immediately. I shared my big trends for 2021 back in December, and today we look at very specific businesses you can start during Covid.  

Sometimes I meet a business owner whose business seems to have been born for exactly the times we live in. Jack Crotty set up NeighbourFood to bring local and farmers markets online & make the whole process digital.  Covid, Brexit and a move towards sustainability in all aspects of our lives mean this business is set to explore. Hear how Jack is building the 2021 version of the farmers market.   

I had planned to do the hottest ideas of 2021 but after speaking to so many people over the last few weeks who are struggling, I have switched things up. Just like everyone else, I’ve been massively impacted by Covid and have found the start of 2021 tougher than expected. So in this week’s pod, I’ve shared the 5 things that have helped me move into a positive headspace and get my momentum back.  

We're back for another season & kicking off season 5 with one of the biggest success stories in Ireland of 2020. Rónán's company went from a 20% market share to 86% in less than 12 months. Thriftify helps charity stores get their products online and handles everything from advertising to distribution.   This episode will fire your brain with hundreds of ideas.   Starting off 2021 with an early candidate for episode of the year!

Our last big interview of the year and it's with 2 of the biggest breakthrough entrepreneurs of 2020.  Thomas & Jake are behind the social media sensation, The Go House, Ireland's first-ever content creation/TikTok House. More people watch their content per day than watch a Premier League game on TV. These two lads are creating a media company that is taking over the Irish media scene. We're ending the year on a massive high. Enjoy the episode and your Christmas. 

Joining me on the pod today is Hannah Moore, founder of L.A. Pacific. Hannah has moved with the speed of light since 2019, founding L.A. Pacific and securing distribution with some of the world's leading brands such as Amazon and Boots.  We talk about how a chronic illness diagnosis changed her entire life and how this led to her becoming an entrepreneur. Hannah also reveals how she's managed to move so fast and achieve so much in just over 18 months. Prepare to be inspired.
