We talk to Michael Blessing Kamwana , founder of the Wealth Transfer Token (WTT) project, about his plans. See more about it here. Business Showcase : Wealth Transfer Token (WTT) What is your Elevator Pitch? "Turning Speculation into Empowerment" Introduction: A Movement Disguised as a Token In a world where meme coins dominate headlines and speculation fuels market frenzies, Wealth Transfer Token (WTT) stands out by doing something rare: making crypto meaningful. WTT is a blockchain-powered initiative with a bold mission - to bridge the global digital divide by delivering affordable internet access, financial education, and digital learning tools to underserved children around the world. While many tokens promise moonshots, WTT promises measurable change. Here, investors don't just chase gains - they change lives. The Vision We believe in a world where your ZIP code doesn't determine your future. Right now, millions of children with raw potential live disconnected from opportunity. They lack access to the internet, basic digital skills, and the kind of mentorship that transforms lives. Yet the tools to bridge that gap already exist. How are you different? WTT is the access. We're creating a token economy where the act of buying, staking, or holding a digital asset fuels: Internet infrastructure projects Financial literacy for kids Gamified learning platforms Mentorship networks Scholarships funded by token rewards The Problem: The Global Digital Divide * Over 2.7 billion people still lack internet access. * In Sub-Saharan Africa, only 1 in 5 children has access to a connected device. * Most underfunded schools don't have Wi-Fi, let alone modern edtech. * The result? Lost potential, broken dreams, and perpetuated poverty. Why will you do well? 1. Social Impact Investing Is Exploding Impact-focused investments hit $1.2 trillion in 2023. Investors are hungry for purpose. WTT gives them an on-chain way to see their money create measurable, lasting change. 2. Meme Coin Culture Meets Meaning Retail investors have shown they'll rally around hype - imagine when that hype is backed by humanity. WTT offers all the memetic energy of SHIB or PEPE, but with a mission that builds schools instead of just buzz. 3. Decentralization for Social Good WTT introduces *"DeSocFi"* - decentralized social finance. We connect blockchain tools with grassroots change. This isn't charity - it's community-powered economic transformation. And also, # 1. Blockchain for Education We leverage blockchain to create transparent, decentralized funding models that route resources directly to communities and schools in need. # 2. Crypto with a Conscience WTT behaves like a meme coin in terms of market appeal - but its utility is deeply humanitarian. As the token grows in value, its social footprint grows with it. # 3. Real-World Deliverables * Wi-Fi-enabled learning hubs in rural schools * Child-friendly digital wallets for savings and rewards * Interactive dApps with offline functionality * On-chain governance so token holders help decide project focus areas Where are you based? The CEO and Founder is based in Tralee, County Kerry in the Republic of Ireland where he's been living for the past 11 years. The other two team members originally from Zimbabwe are based in Johannesburg, South Africa . When was the Company Launched? The Token is yet to be launched, we are still in the presale phase so that we can be able to raise funds for marketing and liquidity for the token. What are your biggest wins to date? * Token development completed and audited * Strategic partnerships forming with African ISPs, NGOs, and edtech firms * Educational dApp prototype in development * Built core team across Ireland, South Africa. * Secured advisory input from blockchain, nonprofit, and finance experts. Who Are You Trying to Attract? *Crypto Speculators* - seeking a token that might moon, but won't disappear the next day *Impact Investors* - seeking ESG exposure with on-chain trans...

In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, I have a conversation with Danny O'Sullivan from Tralee, County Kerry. Danny shares the profoundly emotional experience of losing his wife, Alison, at just 37 years of age to a sudden and aggressive form of cancer just 10 weeks after diagnosis. Despite the heartbreak, Danny has channeled his energy into organising a significant charity cycle from Malin to Mizen Head, aiming to raise funds for the palliative care unit at University Hospital Kerry. This facility provided indispensable care to Alison and continues to support families during their most challenging times. Join me to hear about Danny's journey from his Gaelic football roots to embracing a triathlon lifestyle spurred by the COVID pandemic, and now using his passion for cycling to make a difference. Discover how a community's generosity and a family's resilience can help build a brighter future for those facing similar battles.

Rye River Brewing Company, Ireland's leading independent craft brewery, based in Celbridge Co. Kildare, has signed a one-year Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) with Pinergy, the energy transition company. This agreement will enable the award-winning brewery to power its entire operation using renewable energy sourced from Beale Hill wind farm in Listowel Co. Kerry. The initiative is among the first of such contracts to be put in place for an indigenous Irish owned craft brewery committed to sustainable energy and environmental practices. The CPPA forms part of Pinergy's Guarantee of Origin offering, which allows companies to purchase electricity generated from wind or solar farms based in Ireland that is feeding into the national grid. With this agreement, Rye River Brewing Company joins a growing number of forward-thinking Irish businesses embracing sustainable energy solutions. This CPPA will meet 100% of the brewery's annual energy requirements, significantly reducing its carbon footprint and bolstering its commitment to environmental responsibility. This move to renewable energy will significantly reduce Rye River Brewing Company's carbon footprint, the equivalent of up to 222.5 flights from Dublin to New York annually. Commenting on the Power Purchase Agreement, Tom Cronin, Founder & CEO of Rye River Brewing Company., stated, "We are very proud of the fact that by partnering with Pinergy, every KW of energy coming in to Rye River Brewing Company comes from Beale Hill wind farm in Kerry, generating green and renewable energy. Sustainable energy creates very little to no carbon emissions and offsets our need for fossil fuels. The transition to a sustainable energy system is crucial for mitigating climate change and creating a more sustainable future." Rye River Brewing Company's commitment to sustainability has been at the forefront of the business for a number of years. They have invested approximately €5 million in enhancing efficiency at their brewery, reducing water usage by over 25% in recent years and electricity consumption by 15% since 2018. Rye River Brewing Co. has also recently partnered with Pinergy to utilise their energy management system, Acutrace, which provides clear visibility of exactly where and when energy and other utilities such as water, are used and what it costs, empowering Rye River Brewing Co. to make data-driven decisions and further optimise their energy and water consumption. Alan Clarke, Pinergy Energy Consultant said; "We are delighted to announce this new CPPA with Rye River Brewing Company, a true leader in the Irish craft brewing scene. This agreement demonstrates their unwavering commitment to sustainability and reducing their environmental impact. This move sets a fantastic example and standard for the craft brewing industry and we hope to see more breweries follow their lead." To date, Pinergy has secured corporate power purchase agreements for more than 220GWh of annual Irish wind generation under its Guarantee of Origin offering with demand expected to increase substantially in the coming years as more companies look to reduce their carbon footprint.

Hello, our favourite animated friends, and welcome to the show. This week, Óran and Clodagh are just back from Dingle, County Kerry, where they and Larry attended the Animation Dingle Festival. Óran was thrilled because he got to touch the actual models used for the latest Wallace and Gromit movie 'Vengeance Most Fowl'. The film was made in stop-motion animation, which means amongst other things that it took a super-long time to produce. It's a welcome return for Stuart Lawler to the podcast. Stuart flew his private jet over to Anaheim in California to attend CSUN Assistive Tech Conference. What new toys are out there for the VI community? What is accessibility like at the event?

Shannon LNG Limited has been granted planning permission by An Bórd Pleanála for a 600-megawatt power plant as well as a battery energy storage system and re-gasification unit in north County Kerry. The planning authority had previously refused permission for the development but a High Court ruling overturned this decision last September. Tulla-based Fianna Fáil TD and Minister of State at the Department of Climate, Environment and Energy, Timmy Dooley, believes the plant will pave the way for decarbonisation.

Day 39 of preparing to run around Ireland, and doubt is creeping in. In this episode, Damian shares his raw and unfiltered thoughts while standing outside a shop at Inch Beach, County Kerry, amidst the rain and wind. He reflects on the mental and physical challenges of preparing for such an immense undertaking, the unexpected hurdles, and the shift in strategy that has led him to focus solely on running instead of incorporating cycling into the challenge.Despite the setbacks, this episode is a testament to endurance—not just physical but mental and emotional. The journey ahead is uncertain, but as he reminds us, true resilience comes from pushing through doubt and continuing forward, no matter the resistance.Topics Covered:The shift from a triathlon-style challenge to a singular endurance featThe mental battle of self-doubt and overcoming internal resistancePhysical setbacks, including Achilles issues and overall body deconditioningThe weight of sponsorship discussions and the fear of not making it to the start lineThe power of endurance and pushing through uncertaintyKey Quote: “Endure further into the doubt. Endure further into the negativity.

The Outer Realm welcomes the return of Kevin Dermot O'Doherty Hosts: Michelle Desrochers, Amelia Pisano Date: January 29th, 2025 Episode: 517 Discussion: Kevin returns to talk about his book " Secrets of the Egyptian Nag Hammadi" - The Nag Hammadi texts were found in the Upper Nile town of the same name by a farmer in 1945. They date from the 2nd Century AD but may be even older in their original form. Kevin claims to have discovered within them the lost ‘Book of Great Secrets', and that the Major Arcana suit of the tarot deck has its origins in ancient Egypt and is actually an account of the world's creation. Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com Rumble: TheOuterRealm X - MicheleDerocher Website: www.theouterrealmradio.com Please support us by Liking, Subscribing, Sharing and Commenting. Thank you all!! About Our Guest: Kevin was the church president of Waterloo Spiritualist Church, Liverpool, UK, for many years but is no longer attached to any religion or organisation. He is also a multi-award-winning filmmaker with many hours of production and broadcast credits to his name, including managing a TV studio for the Uk's ITV network. He was a regular on Liverpool's City Talk FM as an esoteric pundit and guest with Lady Snake on the Psychic Surgery lunchtime phone-in. Kevin is currently engaged in searching out the Faery Folk following his life-changing encounter with them in September 2023 when he returned to his ancestral home on Valentia Island, County Kerry, Ireland, follwing te death of his father. Dissatisfied with his current publisher, Kevin has set up his own imprint called Valentia Press, name after the Irish island from which his family hail. He holds two black belts with the World Ju-Jitsu Federation. About The Book: Secrets of the Egyptian Nag Hammadi The Nag Hammadi texts were found in the Upper Nile town of the same name by a farmer in 1945. They date from the 2ndCentury AD but may be even older in their original form. Kevin claims to have discovered within them the lost ‘Book of Great Secrets', and that the Major Arcana suit of the tarot deck has its origins in ancient Egypt and is actually anaccount of the world's creation. They offer a plausible answer to the really big questions of who, what, why, when, where and how we are, through ‘the revealing', ‘the psychic' and the ‘spiritual science of God'! These texts are the teachings of masters and exponents immersed in the disciplines of understanding energies, auras, spirits, demons and other classes of interdimensional entities that move through our world, and the realms they occupy and control. And of the latter, the texts seek to give to us the gravest warning of ‘archon' intrusion, their universal threat to us, and how these creatures emerged as a supra phantastic, super intelligent anomaly from the bile of the original womb in the predominant form of so-called ETs and can move through ether and matter like fishes through water. They are delineated as the supreme, sabotaging influence on that which created us. These texts make a promise to you. If you persevere you will be greatly rewarded, and your understanding of life made fuller. They will slowly reveal to you their ‘great secrets'. But you are warned that this may come at a price! The interdimensional ‘powers' that have conspired to keep mankind blind and locked in slavery may well visit upon you prior to, during, or just after your sleep state. They dread the human being becoming alive to their evil. They exist in a state of fear of being discovered any minute now. Should you come under their attack, do not fear because they texts tell you how to deal with it

For this episode of Streets of Your Town, wander with me Nance Haxton to County Kerry on Ireland's west coast, to discover how close Australian and Irish cultural traditions are beyond the musical sphere.Tim Hanafin has lived in Kerry all of his 85 years, in a tiny village called Inch. The town is still known by many as the location where the epic Oscar-winning movie Ryan's Daughter was filmed, putting County Kerry on the tourist trail in the 1970s.Tim is known throughout the Dingle Peninsula as the man who recites poetry from a deep well of decades of learning, with a poem appropriate for every event, whether it be wedding, funeral or spontaneous celebration.When I speak to him in front of a cosy fire at Foley's Bar overlooking the miles of sand dunes constantly evolving on Inch Beach, it doesn't take long for the Australian influence on this far-flung county to appear from his extensive back catalogue of poetry.Tim tells us how he thinks the affinity the Irish have with Australians goes back to the days of British rule, and continues to be expressed to this day.and for more shownotes please go to my substack for this episode at soyt.substack.com

Toward the end of the year Earthkeepers podcast always releases a special holiday episode that breaks from the usual interview mode. In this episode, we're gifting a passage from our friend Christine Sine's book called Celtic Advent: Following an Unfamiliar Path Through Advent. Earthkeepers recommends this book because in it, Christine brings fresh, life-giving perspective on the conventional Western practices of advent. According to those Western practices, the advent season this year begins on Sunday, December 1—so why offer an advent reflection in November? In her book, Christine explains: “for Celtic and Orthodox Christians, advent begins the evening of November 15th – forty days before Christmas Day. Celtic Christians always prayed and fasted for 40 days in preparation for any major life event, whether it be the planting of a new monastic center, the beginning of a new adventure, as well as for preparation for Christmas and Easter.” Given the Celtic theme of the passage, it is read by Brother Seán Aherne, an Irish monk who is very familiar with the St. Kevin story that is featured in this episode.Christine's website, GodspacelightBook: Celtic Advent: Following an Unfamiliar PathBrother Seán Aherne ( born 1946 ) is a Celtic Christian monk living in a small monastery on outskirts of Dublin. He is Director &  founding member of the John Moriarty institute for Ecology & Spirituality in Dingle, County Kerry. Together with Míchael W.Higgins he edited : Introducing John Moriarty In His Own Words. He is a passionate supporter of John Moriarty's vision for a Christian Monastic Hedge School for Adults called Slí na Fírinne. Over the years he animated & directed many retreats on Celtic Spirituality & the Native Irish Wisdom Tradition.Keywords: Advent, Celtic Advent, creation care, Saint Kevin, spirituality, environmentalism, community, nature, God, reflection, Glendalough, John Scotus Eriugena, John Philip Newell, Christ of the Celts, Carmina Gadelica, Alexander CarmichaelTakeaways ·      Celtic Advent begins 40 days before Christmas for preparation.·      Creation is an expression of God, not a void of nothingness.·      Our view of creation reflects our attitude towards God.·      Saint Kevin exemplifies a deep connection with nature.·      The incarnation of Christ emphasizes God's care for creation.·      Recognizing God's concern for all creation is vital.·      Engaging with nature can enhance our spiritual lives.·      Reflection on creation can deepen our understanding of God.·      Welcoming creation into our lives can be an Advent practice. Find us on our website: Earthkeepers Support the Earthkeepers podcast Check out the Ecological Disciple

Lighthouse tourism experts are meeting in County Kerry next week to plan on turning Ireland into a world-class maritime tourism destination. The Great Lighthouses of Ireland annual gathering, taking place on Valentia Island, will unveil a new 5-year strategy to reach this goal. Ethna Murphy is Great Lighthouses of Ireland Project Manager

In a ground-breaking development for marine conservation in Ireland, two rare angel sharks (Squatina squatina) have been successfully tagged and released by scientists from the Marine Institute in Tralee Bay, County Kerry. This achievement marks a significant milestone as it is the first (and second) time ever that an angel shark has been fitted with an electronic tag in Irish waters. This marks a crucial step forward in the preservation and study of one of the most endangered shark species in Europe. The tagging, carried out by the Marine Institute in collaboration with local fishers, is funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the EU as part of the Biodiversity Scheme. Dr Ross O'Neill, a licenced tagger with the Marine Institute worked with local fisherman Michael Peter Hennessy on board the MFV Lady K to successfully tag a male and a female angel shark. The successful tagging represents a vital contribution to ongoing efforts aimed at understanding the behaviour, migration patterns, and habitat preferences of this elusive species. The invaluable data collected by the tags will provide researchers with information that will inform future conservation strategies, aiming to safeguard the survival of angel shark in Irish and European waters. Dr Ross O'Neill expressed the significance of the achievement: "This is a landmark moment for marine conservation in Ireland. The angel shark is an incredibly rare species, making this recent encounter and successful tagging of two specimens in Tralee Bay all the more important. The tagging will allow us to track their movements and better understand how we can protect this species from further decline. It's an exciting development not just for Irish marine life but for global conservation efforts." Angel Shark Angel shark, also known as the "Devil's Banjo", is a slow-growing, long-lived, and vulnerable species historically found in waters from North Africa to Norway. Catches of the species by commercial and recreational fishermen were common in the Tralee Bay area historically. Reported numbers, however, have declined dramatically since the late 1960s, and today, encounters are extremely rare, and the species is now listed as "Critically Endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The success of the tagging operation in Kerry adds to the growing body of research focused on preserving these ancient creatures. These sightings also build on other recent observations of angel sharks west of Clew Bay by the Marine Institute and last summer in inner Galway Bay beside the Marine Institute's Headquarters at Rinville, confirming the importance of Ireland's west coast as a critical refuge for this endangered species. Tralee Bay Tralee Bay has been confirmed as one of the last strongholds for the angel shark species in Irish waters. Tralee Bay provides a habitat for several other rare and endangered sharks and their relatives, including the undulate ray, sting ray and the extremely rare white skate. Next Steps The tagged angel sharks were released close to their area of capture northwest of the Maharees peninsula and swam away strongly. The tags will log and transmit information for the next year, after which they will automatically detach from the fish. Researchers in the Marine Institute hope these data will uncover critical information about the species' preferred habitats, migration timings and movement behaviour and thus allow for more effective conservation measures to be implemented. It is hoped that more specimens will be similarly tagged in the coming months with the assistance of the local fishing industry. Community Collaboration Collaboration between local fishermen, the community and Marine Institute scientists is key to the success of conservation efforts. Commenting, Dr Rick Officer, CEO of Marine Institute, said: "The tagging project has been made possible through the close cooperation between scientists, local fishermen and coa...

We are fortunate to have John Adams on this episode. In fact, I was fortunate to spend an evening with Adams in Kenmare, County Kerry during my trip to Ireland. Adams is a co-founder and current chair of the Kenmare Kestrels Basketball Club. The club was founded in 2006 and boasts close to 350 members, with youth and adult teams competing in the KABB (Kerry Area Basketball Board). Adams, who is originally from Maine and has degrees from Notre Dame and Harvard, managed to fit in some time between practices for a short interview at his home. Our discussion focused on the history of the Kenmare Kestrels, how it fits a niche in a country dominated by other sports, and what he has learned as a coach to teams at various age levels.

The Wren Boy in the West Sitting on the farthest spit of peninsula in Europe, Dingle Distillery is the first craft distillery in Ireland post-consolidation. From its place on the Wild Atlantic Way, Dingle set forth the path for the dozens of Irish distilleries that followed in the last decade-plus.  Managing Director and son of the founder Elliot Hughes joins me to talk through Dingle's history and four expressions: Dingle Single Malt, Samhain, Bealtaine, and La Le Bride. Embracing the culture of their (and County Kerry's) Gaeltacht region, Dingle leans heavily into Celtic lore (try pronouncing the distillery's Gaelic name...I'll wait).  We also talk about the significance of being the first craft distillery to open, joining the long-standing Midleton, Bushmills, and Cooley distilleries that pumped out all the Irish whiskey we drank for decades. It's more than just being the first, it's about setting an example, and they did.  Thanks everyone for listening, and thank you to Elliot for entering the Whiskey Ring! _________________________________________________________ If you haven't joined the Patreon community yet, please consider doing so at patreon.com/whiskeyinmyweddingring There are 2-3 more spots available at the $25/month bottle share club level.  If you haven't yet, please follow Whiskey in my Wedding Ring and the Whiskey Ring Podcast on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, and subscribe to the newsletter on the website.  Dingle Distillery Dingle Distillery Website Dingle Distillery Instagram Dingle Distillery Facebook Reviews Dingle Distillery Single Malt Irish Whiskey Review Dingle Distillery Samhain Single Malt Irish Whiskey Review Thanks to our Lead Sponsor, Black Button Distillery  Black Button Distilling Website Black Button Distilling on Facebook Black Button Distilling on Instagram

In 1992 off the coast of Ireland, a Swiss geology student accidentally discovered the longest set of footprints made by the first four-legged animals to walk on earth.They pointed to a new date for the key milestone in evolution when the first amphibians left the water 385 million years ago. The salamander-type animal which was the size of a basset hound lived when County Kerry was semi-arid, long before dinosaurs, as Iwan Stössel explains to Josephine McDermott.(Picture: Artwork of a primitive tetrapod.
