In this episode, I transport you to Ireland, the land of a thousand welcomes with a very special guest who's a pioneer in the subscription box industry in Europe.  Ireland's first subscription box started back in 2013, co-founder and good Irish lad all the way from Dingle Ireland, Thomas Barrett!Based on themes such as the Irish Sheep, the Irish Cottage, an Irish Christmas and Thanksgiving, each My Ireland Box takes our subscribers on a journey through Ireland each month. Not to mention, they must have some incredible Saint Patrick's Day themed boxes!Thomas and Katharine would love to share their love for the culture & traditions of Ireland with you and they love sending happiness from Ireland to those that miss it.Which is something Thomas and I talk about during this episode.  Them having found early a niche that is spread out all over North America.  Ex Pat Irish folks.  People who are from Ireland, or have Irish roots want and miss a part of their Irish culture, so Thomas and Katharine have turned that into a thriving business. You'll learn how to turn some inevitable hardships of life into opportunities, and that being in the subscription industry isn't necessarily a sprint, but a marathon.  Thomas and Katharine have been in the sub game long enough to know what works, what scales, and what could potentially slow you down.  My Ireland Box has been featured in The Irish Times, The Kerryman, The Sunday Times, Irish Independent, Irish Fireside, The Wild Geese, and much more.  I met Thomas through a mastermind we're both in with fellow Irish subscription star, Liam Brennan! All the more reason why I think being part of Masterminds is so important.  If ever you're interested in more on that, just send me a dm or email and I'd be happy to talk about that.So buckle up and get ready to fly across the pond to visit Ireland, with Thomas Barret, Co-Founder of My Ireland Box.  Guest Links:Megan MacNeill's LindeIn Course On LinkedIn: https://relevant-personal-branding.thinkific.com/?ref=fbfbc7 Julie Ball's Subscription Box Bootcamp 2.0 Course Link:https://ericmusick.krtra.com/t/h67apnWbBQ9cThe Subscription Box Experts Academy Course Link: https://ericmusick.krtra.com/t/jIw4to2rXSoQ Host Links:The Subscription Box Show Website: https://www.thesubscriptionboxshow.comConnect with Eric Musick: https://www.thesubscriptionboxshow.com/contact2The Subscription Box Show Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/thesubscriptionboxshow.comEric Musick's email: eric@thesubscriptionboxshow.comEric Musick's Instagram: @thesubscriptionboxshow or https://www.instagram.com/thesubscriptionboxshowThe Subscription Box Show Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2960087864057955/To request being on TSBS, please book a call with Eric at: https://www.calendly.com/thesubboxshow

Can Pwyll regain his Faerie Bride? Part 9 of the First Branch of the Mabinogion story. Having been tricked at his own wedding feast, Pwyll returns to Dyfed in deep depression. There he has to wait for a year before he can return to the Otherworld. Only then will he see whether Rhiannon's plan will work and he can regain his Faerie Bride. But tricking the tricksters is never an easy task! In this episode we see exactly what happens when Pwyll returns on that fateful day! This episode is also the ninth episode of the First Branch of the Mabinogi.

Names Used in this Story Listed in order of appearance Pwyll Dyfed Mabinogion Rhiannon Sidhe Gorsedd (Arberth) Summerland Pendaran Beltaine Calan Mai Hevaydd Hen (Heueyd Hen) Delwyn Gwawl Son of Clud Caer Hevaydd Rhiannon Locations visited in this Episode Some wonderful information from Nantle about the locations seen in the First Branch. Not from Nantle but from our own research.. The Court of Hefaydd Hen THE COURT OF HEFEYDD HEN (or Hyfaidd Hen) – unknown, but, according to the Mabinogion, certainly not in Dyfed. But according to some other traditions, Hefeydd was the first King of Dyfed. Gorsedd Arberth was his burial place and also the entrance to Annwn. Was this the enchanted castle in the third Branch? A hero called Hefeydd Hir is found in the 6th century epic poem Y Gododdin (composed by a Briton named Aneurin who lived in a land which is now part of Scotland). In the second Branch of the Mabinogion he appears as one of the Seven Knights, King Hefeydd of Dyfed who died in 892 etc... Hefeydd was a common name in Mediaeval Wales. The Kingdom of Gwawl fab Clud Map of Scotland showing the Wall It is said that the literal meaning of the name is “Wall Son Of Wealth”. “Gwawl”, according to the University of Wales Dictionary means: The Vallum (Roman wall) between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde - the Antonine Wall, not Hadrian’s Wall Man Light But his last name more than likely refers to the River Clyde in Scotland. Therefore he was one of the people of the Old North, that is to say they were Britons, like the Welsh. Alt Clud - now called Dumbarton Rock Their capital was Allt Clud – a huge rock on the further north bank of the River Clyde. [Now called Dumbarton (City of the Britons) Rock NS399745].

Where the Goddess rides her horse, guiding you to magic, and the Horned God of old calls us from the shadows of the Greenwood. You can find out more about Damh and his work on his website at paganmusic.co.uk or on our Contributor page.   Cerri Lee Cerri Lee Cerri Lee, playing the role of Rhiannon, is a multi-talented visionary artist who can turn her hand to almost anything creative. She is inspired by nature, and the ancient Pagan myths and legends of many cultures, her beliefs as a modern day Druid as well as those around her. Cerri is equally in her element when she is up to her elbows in clay or painting one of her fabulous pictures. She is partner to Druid musician and long-time supporter of our show, Damh the Bard and can be found supporting him at many of his performances.   Extra Special Thanks to Show Friends   Phil Thornton Phil Thornton We are proud to feature Phil in this show as leads us into our story with the wonderful track Cloak of Darkness from his album, Shaman.
