#10 Ciaran Savage | Card Industry Professionals
<p>At school, Ciaran yearned to become an actor. So much so, that he was willing to flunk his A-levels to live his dream. </p> <p>However, aged 19, his world turned upside down (for the better)… he became a Dad. After several years of being typecast in shows as a working-class lad from the block, he decided - with no investment, no savings, and the final dregs of last month’s pay - to take a leap and invest in himself. </p> <p>Today Ciaran is a successful entrepreneur, Forbes 30-under-30 lister and Managing Director of Card Industry Professionals. </p> <p>In this episode we discuss the value of taking risks, the importance of seeing progress in everything you do, and how fortune always favours the brave.</p> <p>For aspiring actors, entrepreneurs and Shameless fans alike… this one is for you! </p>

#9 David Black | Google
<p>In his first week at Oxford, David had to swear an oath not to burn down the university library… in Latin. 🔥</p> <p>David’s mum worked the night shift in Sainsbury’s and his dad was a technician in the NHS. Before stepping foot onto campus, David did not see university as a place for him. In fact, if it wasn’t for the efforts of his English teacher - who drove him around Oxford University and wouldn’t let him go home until he’d submitted an application - he would have never applied.</p> <p>Fast forward to today, from creating the UK’s first online student newspaper, to overseeing a technological revolution at the Mirror Newspapers, David is now one of the senior executives at Google. </p> <p>In this episode, I chat to David about the positives of being from two different worlds, how even as an MD he still suffers from the odd bout of imposter syndrome, and the role that companies can play in driving forward social mobility agenda. </p>
