Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 6ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1989 tháinig sé amach go raibh na ticéid a raibh chun dul ar dhíol do na cluichí sacar in Éirinn chun a bheith ar dhíol chuig na sraith sacar, cumann sacar agus lucht tacaíochta dílis an chlub. I 2006 bhí Tesco chúisithe de bharr go raibh sé níos éasca do dhaoine cárta bréige a úsáid chun rudaí a ceannach tríd scipéad gan duine ann. I 2001 bhí ráflaí ag dul timpeall Cill Dalua le cé a raibh an bhean a bhuaigh 1.4 milliúin punt sa Lotto tar éis a cheannaigh sí an ticéad I siopa sa bhaile. Tháinig ráflaí amach go raibh sé dhá Gharda ón bhaile a bhuaigh an t-airgead agus bhí daoine ag dul suas chuig na Gardaí ag rá comhghairdeas dóibh. Tháinig sé amach tar éis nach raibh sé an bheirt Gharda. I 2002 bhí forbraíocht iontach ag dul ar aghaidh ag Stradavoher. Tháinig sé amach go raibh Durlas ábalta an ghéarchéim lóistín a réitigh do mhic léinn coláiste sa chontae. Bhí timpeall 50 tí á thógáil agus tháinig sé amach go mbeadh saol nua sa bhaile. Sin Black Box le Ride On Time – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1989. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1979 chuaigh Led Zeppelin chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena halbam In Through The Out Door. Tháinig siad amach le sé leagan den albam leis an pictiúr céanna ag sé uillinn difriúil. I 1998 tháinig vótáil amach ó iris darbh ainm Time Out. Ainmnigh siad na daoine is cáiliúla ó na príomh 30 bhliain. Bhí Marvin Gaye sa cúigiú áit, James Brown ag uimhir a 4, Bob Marley ag uimhir a 3, The Beatles sa dara háit agus bhí David Bowie ag uimhir a haon. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Gerry Adams I mBéal Feirste I 1948 agus rugadh aisteoir Roshon Fegan I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1991 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 6th of October, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1989: It was announced Tickets for all the Republic of ireland's home soccer matches from next year will be sold only through soccer leagues, divisional associations, clubs and recognised supporter groups. 2006: Tesco has been accused of making it easy for fraudsters to buy goods with stolen cards through its self scan tills. 2001 - Rumours were flying in Killaloe over the identity of the mystery woman who scooped a cool £1.4m in the National Lottery after buying her lucky ticket in a shop in the town. First, the word got out that two gardai in the local station had won the prize, and people were coming up to them on the street to congratulate them. Locals who inquired about these two named officers were soon put right.  2002 – An exciting and innovative student village development at Stradavohcr. Thurles could solve the accommodation difficulties currently being faced by third-level students in Tipperary. The development of fifty tax-relief townhouses would bring new life into the locality.  That was Black Box with Ride On Time – the biggest song on this day in 1989 Onto music news on this day In 1979 Led Zeppelin's In Through The Out Door was at No.1 on the US album chart. Six versions of the cover were released, each depicting the same bar scene photographed from one of six different angles. 1998 A music industry poll was published by London Magazine 'Time Out', naming the top stars from the past 30 years. 5th place was Marvin Gaye, 4th; James Brown, 3rd; Bob Marley, 2nd; The Beatles and first place went to David Bowie And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – Gerry Adams was born in Belfast in 1948 and actor Roshon Fegan was born in America on this day in 1991 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

“It's so easy to chase perfection, but it doesn't exist. The whole world is built on imperfection - and that's what makes it beautiful.”It was our privilege to talk to World Cup winner and Bristol Bears tighthead Sarah Bern for today's episode of The Game Changers podcast as she relives that history-making day at Twickenham and what's to follow. Sarah candidly traces her journey from a teenager wrestling with body image to a visible role model for strong, muscular women. Authentic on and off the pitch, Sarah shares how Ilona Maher's arrival at Bristol Bears helped her find her own voice on social media - a powerful tool to drive change and open vital commercial doors for female athletes.Sarah takes us behind the scenes - sharing what it's feels like in an England scrum or waiting in the tunnel walk to walk out in front of 82,000 fans. We also talk about the crossover of fashion and women's sport with the launch of her own clothing label - Below the Shoulder - with her teammates, a Vogue photoshoot and how Red Roses merchandise has been selling out in stores.Looking ahead, Sarah calls for true equality across sport as we judge female athletes by what happens on the pitch, not by their appearance.Her legacy goal is simple and powerful - to help women feel comfortable in their own skin so they can attack life with purpose and joy.Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production

Gareth's 3 mindset messages: Be Kind Embrace your passions And Smile! Food When a guest says 'Wow - anything!' in response to what they'd like to eat, it's both exhilarating and slightly nerve-wracking. On one hand, I have complete creative freedom to craft something truly special. On the other, the responsibility rests entirely on my shoulders to ensure they enjoy a genuinely delicious meal. I do not create my own recipes, I usually use what's out there and sometimes add a touch of my ingredients if I feel the dish needs it. I decided to make two dishes from Ottolenghi: Butter beans with roasted cherry tomatoes & Chicken Shawarma sandwiches. Gareth loved both of my dishes, especially the starter! The effort and researching for the perfect dish has truly paid off :) If you would like to reach out to Gareth, or get the recipes, please visit www.mindsetkitchen.co.uk

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Running an agency can feel like chaos on repeat—clients, team stress, and no clear direction. You're not alone. Today's featured guest has built and sold a $3M+ agency, kept employee turnover under 5%, and is now launching a focused, values-driven agency built to thrive in today's market. He shares some hard-won lessons on building a culture your team will never want to leave, attracting clients who respect your expertise, and creating the clarity and focus you need to scale without burning out. If you're an agency owner who's tired of the chaos and wants a clearer, saner path forward, this conversation will give you a roadmap worth following. Colin Hetherington is the founder of the newly minted Common Good in Dublin, but he's no rookie. Before that, he co-founded Zoo Digital, growing it past $3M a year before it was acquired, and even earlier, he pitched and built agency.com's Dublin presence when Ireland barely had broadband. After building and scaling agency.com Ireland, Colin and two colleagues grabbed coffee after a client meeting and decided, “There's a better way to do this.” It wasn't a grand plan with a 50-slide deck. It was a hunch—and a leap of faith. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why he believes in taking the leap before you're ready. Build systems or burn out. How to keep turnover at less than 5%. Why focus is the ultimate power move.

Look for the Venn Diagram Sweet Spot Colin's first experience in digital marketing came when he worked for an agency in San Francisco back in 1999. At iTraffic, subsequently taken over by Agency.com, he learned about what was called at the time ‘internet advertising', and five years later he pitched the idea of setting up Agency.com in Dublin.  Their developing edge was putting strategy, creative, and technology under one roof at a time when agencies treated digital as an afterthought. That unique combination allowed them to win big clients like the National Lottery and the Irish Tourism Board with a tiny seven-person team. In just two years, they went from zero to driving 12% of the group's revenue and Colin and his partners felt ready to grow their own business. Hitting Their Stride with Innovation Zoo launched in 2008, right before the Great Recession and right as businesses started pulling back and budgets evaporated. However, they were able to adapt by winning some solid clients and partnering quietly behind the scenes with agencies that couldn't handle digital in-house. They found scrappy ways to deliver big ideas on smaller budgets, often using student illustrators or leaner production. By 2015, they'd grown the team to fourteen people and were hitting their stride with their original formula of combining strategy, creative, and technology under one roof that led them to work with big names like Redbull. After bringing innovation to countless brand events, Colin's agency started focusing on UX and got an important partnership with one of the largest banks in Ireland. While not every flashy innovation won new business immediately, it got them on pitch lists and made their team proud. Hiring Before You're Ready Colin's hiring strategy has always been taking leaps of faith. Instead of hiring one by one, they'd hire in threes or fours—betting on themselves to fill the pipeline. This was even back when they couldn't forecast beyond five months. For Colin, there was no use in debating and agonizing over these leaps for weeks when the team was already stretched for 1–2 months straight. Playing too small can be riskier than making bold, smart bets and, as they learned over time, taking those leaps of faith paid off every time. Every time they made that leap, the new team members were busy almost immediately. Build Systems or Burn Out On the other hand, Colin was not as quick to scale processes as they grew the team, which resulted in many projects being delayed and clients rightly unhappy about the situation. At one point, Colin was heading to a client meeting with that sick-to-your-stomach feeling that they were about to get fired for missing deadlines. They didn't get fired, but the client laid it out: “We love you, but can you ever deliver on time?” That wake-up call pushed Colin to bring in operations help, implement systems, and build scalable processes so they could grow without chaos. This next step also required them to admit they just weren't great project managers and needed outside help to build the foundations to grow the business. Culture Is What You Live, Not What You Write Colin managed to keep his agency's employee turnover at less than 5% by putting a heavy focus on culture while he was at Zoo. It's easy to slap a “values” page on your agency's website. He understood that reducing churn meant reducing time spent on getting people up to speed, for instance, but he also understood that culture isn't what you write down—it's what you live. For Colin, it all came down to leadership and how the leadership team delivers culture. For starters, they treated people like adults, trusting their team to own their work without micromanagement, and recognizing that work is just one part of life. When hard times hit, like during COVID, Colin and his partners were transparent. They had to temporarily reduce salaries but promised to pay it back when the storm cleared—and they did. That act of integrity built trust in a way no ping-pong table or Slack emoji ever could. Your Values Attract the Right Clients (and Repel the Wrong Ones) If you've ever worked with a nightmare client—the kind who demands everything yesterday, disrespects your team, and thinks paying your invoice is a license to treat you like dirt—yyou know the toll it takes on your team and energy. On this, Jason and Colin agree: it's better to walk away. Colin has learned that sharing the unspoken values you hold as a team don't just keep your culture healthy; they also shape the clients you attract. The best, longest-lasting client relationships he had were with organizations that shared similar values around respect, partnership, and clear communication. As to the nightmare clients? Those relationships were doomed from day one because the values were out of sync. Focus Is the Ultimate Power Move After selling Zoo, Colin is launching his new agency, Common Good, with one big lesson in mind: Focus beats everything. Instead of being a generalist, Colin is zeroing in on serving state and civil service organizations in Ireland. He believes these organizations are doing important work that deserves to be communicated well—and that clear positioning will set them apart in a market where every agency says the same thing about their “process, portfolio, and people.” What's more, Colin isn't trying to build another 60-person agency. He's embracing the shift in the market toward lean, senior teams that can deliver high-quality work without unnecessary bloat. If you're still in the grind of your first agency, it's normal not to have perfect clarity yet. You have to try things, learn what drains your energy, and double down on what gives you energy. The sooner you build reflection time into your schedule, the sooner you'll find your agency's true direction. It may be hard to take the time to really think about these things. The day-to-day of running an agency can drown you in Slack messages, client calls, and fires to put out. But stepping back—even for a few hours each week—to reflect on where you're going and why can be the difference between a business that drifts and one that thrives.

Designed for agency owners like you, our Agency Blueprint helps you uncover growth opportunities, tackle obstacles, and craft a customized blueprint for your agency's success.
