The How Is He Podcast

How Is He Podcast | Ep. 125 

On the hot seat with Podge & Guich today, is a man who knows a thing or two about putting people under pressure… because for years, he was the man sitting on the other side of the interview table! Declan Casey, Owner & Founder of Ace That Interview. A business built around helping people become more confident, prepared and, hopefully, a little less terrified when it comes to job interviews. 

But Declan Casey’s story isn’t just about interviews. It’s about confidence, changing direction, taking a chance on yourself and having the balls to start something of your own.

He’s a Limerick man who moved to Kilkenny at 7 years old, became an experienced HSE manager, who after years of working in management and seeing first-hand the mistakes people make when they're looking for work, Declan decided to put that experience to good use and set up Ace That Interview.

And what the lads really like about what Declan does, is that it’s not just about telling someone what to say in an interview, it’s about getting people to believe that they actually deserve to be in the room in the first place.

So today they're going to get into interviews, nerves, confidence, rejection, career changes, starting a business, and probably a few horror stories from both sides of the interview table!

How Is He Podcast | Ep. 124 
Podge & Guich's guest today is someone who probably needs very little introduction around Carlow & its surrounding areas.
If you've spent any amount of time in Carlow town, chances are you've heard the name Bramley's. And behind that famous name is a family story that goes all the way back to 1946. Bramley's Jewellers was started by Pat's father, Bill, and his mother Maureen. Bill was a watch and clockmaker who made his way from Athy to Carlow, where he eventually set up the business on Dublin Street. And Pat has been right at the heart of that story. 
He grew up over the shop, trained as a watchmaker, came back into the family business and, alongside his wife Dympna, helped take Bramley's through decades of change. He's seen Carlow town change beyond recognition, he's seen the way people shop completely transformed, and he's had to adapt the business while keeping the family tradition alive. 
And today, that tradition continues with the next generation, with Philip and Stuart involved in the business.
This isn't just a story about jewellery. It's a story about family, Carlow, business, hard work, changing times, and keeping a name alive for generations. And the lads would definitely say there are a few stories from living over a jeweller's shop that probably haven't been told publicly yet!

How Is He Podcast | Ep. 123 
Today it is your hosts, Podge & Guich, discussing all things that only happen in Ireland!! "Irishism" as Podge calls it!
They chat about a few uniquely Irish things, and, if you were to explain it to a non-Irish person, would they think you were lying? Or would they understand?
