Show Notes

This week on the 10forty Podcast, we head to D2 Studios to sit down with Gary Fox, host of The Entrepreneur Experiment podcast, to dive into the fascinating story behind one of Ireland’s most prolific interviewers of founders.

Gary shares his journey from studying in college to working his first job in a phone shop, transitioning into the corporate world, and even spending time as a freelance photojournalist. We discuss the challenges of carving out a career in journalism, landing in software sales, and launching Host Butlers a venture that came to a sudden halt during Covid.

We talk candidly about the highs and lows of startup life: business failures, securing funding, and how Gary now approaches business through bootstrapping.

Gary also shares his big vision for The Entrepreneur Experiment and how he plans to take the podcast global. With over 400 founder interviews under his belt, Gary’s insights into entrepreneurship are second to none.
