Listen "Kneecap Film Business and Hero Sam's Life Lessons"
Episode Synopsis
There's not much that immediately connects a controversial Irish language rap group from West Belfast and a former Royal Marine and George Cross recipient turned entrepreneur from Armagh. But the story told by film producer Trevor Birney, who brought the niche rap group to the world through the award-winning Kneecap movie; and the incredible life-story of Sam Shephard who served tours in Afghanistan and Iraq with the Royal Marines and displayed off-the-scale heroism that saw him awarded the UK's highest honour for non-combat bravery, do have surprising common threads. There's something about managing dynamic situations, thinking quickly, and not being afraid of danger. There's also something about taking calculated risks and being prepared to manage a situation as it develops in real-time. These are two entrepreneurs with a lot of learning to impart to anyone in business. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
