EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2025 finalist Karl Fitzpatrick didn't get the Leaving Cert results he wanted. But he didn't let the exam results define his life. Today, the owner of Chevron College leads a business that is on track to record €20m revenues and €3m in profit this year and that employs 150 staff and educates 15,000 students. He demonstrates how he turned his Leaving Cert disappointment into entrepreneurial success throughout a life where he never stopped learning.Visit www.thinkbusiness.ie for more news and supports for start-ups and SMEs in Ireland.

Design Talk (dot IE) Allen Higgins Design Talk. A podcast for learning about the business of technology design and management. Listen to stories, panels, interviews and discussions about technology and design in-the-wild: the good, the beautiful, and the useful. Whether you've got one big idea, you think of yourself as an organisation designer, product designer, creator, or entrepreneur. Each episode offers a take on how people design, strategise, organise, and develop technology. We want to dig into the essence of design, discover the backstory to technologies, and unpack the design attitude. We started this podcast for you, because you are interested in tinkering, in making, and how ideas become 'things', and because we are all, in some way, involved in designing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
