    Ep 96 - Rock Bottom Rebuilding and Finding Purpose | Jamie Griffin

    04/06/2026 | 47 mins.
    Today on the 10forty Podcast, we’re joined by Jamie Griffin.

    Now, just before we get into it — this episode is raw.

    We cover some sensitive topics, including tough times, losing friends, and struggles with mental health… so just a heads up before you listen to the full episode.

    Jamie’s story is real.

    From time spent in Prision… to working on building sites… to now working in personal training — it’s been a journey shaped by setbacks, growth, and hard lessons.

    We talk about hitting low points… losing the ego… and what it really takes to rebuild.

    But what stands out most… is why Jamie decided to speak up.

    Why he chose to share his story publicly — and how passionate he is about supporting others who are going through similar struggles.

    At the centre of it all is family.

    Jamie talks about how having children changed everything — and how being there for them is now the priority.

    This is an honest conversation about accountability, growth, and using your story to help someone else.

    Ep 95 - What If You Didn't? Chris Evans on Growth, Resilience & Business

    29/05/2026 | 43 mins.
    This week on the 10forty Podcast, we’re joined by Chris Evans — Commercial Director at Ancorra Environmental Services, operator of JS Solutions, and host of the What If You Didn’t? podcast.

    Chris’s journey starts early.

    At just 16, he stepped into the family business in Liverpool — learning the ropes from the ground up.

    But his path didn’t stay there.

    A move to Australia opened things up.

    Seven years in Perth, working with Carnegies, helped shape his approach to leadership, discipline, and business.

    That experience would go on to define how he operates today.

    But there’s another layer to Chris’s story.

    Back in school, he was navigating ADHD — something that, at the time, felt more like a challenge than anything else.

    Over time, that perspective shifted.

    What once felt like a setback… became a strength.

    And ultimately — a superpower.

    That mindset, combined with years of experience across different environments, led Chris to Ireland — where he’s now building and leading successful businesses.

    In this episode, we talk about:
    Growing up in a family business
    The impact of international experience
    And reframing challenges into strengths

    This is a conversation about perspective, growth — and using your experiences to build something bigger.

    Ep 94 - Obsessed With Precision: Building Ireland’s Leading PPF Business

    22/05/2026 | 1h
    This week on the 10forty Podcast, we’re joined by Padraic Gilchrist — founder of Flawless Paint Correction & Detailing Ireland, one of the country’s leading paint protection specialists.

    Padraic’s story doesn’t start in business.

    It starts with music.

    That passion led him into the army band — and eventually to a posting in Cork.

    But like many in that world… one job wasn’t enough.

    So he picked up a nixer.

    Car detailing on the side.

    What started as extra income quickly became something more.

    A craft.

    An obsession with precision.

    That curiosity led him deeper — into paint correction, and eventually into PPF — a space where standards are everything.

    Then came the turning point.

    When the nixer started to outgrow the day job… Padraic made the call.

    He left the army — and went all in.

    Today, he runs Flawless — a business built on reputation, discipline, and elite-level execution.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    Turning a side hustle into a full-time business

    Knowing when to take the leap

    And building something through consistency and craft

    This is a conversation about trusting your gut — and backing yourself when it matters most.

    Ep 93 - Camera Rolling | Ben O’Neill

    12/05/2026 | 50 mins.
    From Behind the Lens to Behind the Mic

    This week on the 10forty Podcast, we’re joined by Ben O’Neill — founder of Ben O’Neill Productions.

    Usually, Ben is the one behind the camera…

    but this week, he steps in front of it.

    Ben’s journey is built on backing himself — in an industry that doesn’t wait for anyone.

    From early on, he was focused on pushing beyond what felt possible — especially in a space where, at times, it can feel like Ireland puts a ceiling on how far you can go.

    That mindset took him further.

    Even to filming YouTube content in New York — chasing opportunities instead of waiting for them.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    Taking risks and betting on yourself

    Growing by stepping into different areas of media

    Why learning styles don’t always fit the system

    And what it actually takes to build experience from the ground up

    This is a conversation about doing the work, learning as you go, and not waiting for permission.

    Because sometimes, the only way forward…

    is to start and figure it out along the way.
