EP265 — Cheaper grinds at scale + how a Wexford mixer takes on Coke & Fever-TreePart 1:Brendan Kavanagh (Grinds360) explains how a hybrid learning model can undercut traditional grinds: where €2,000 per subject becomes ~€1,000 for all 20 subjects, with live nightly classes, a huge on-demand library and student tracking.
