What a cracker of a chat I have for you this week! When Daniel McLoughlin (Owner of Rocksalt Cafe's & Restaurants in Ireland) reached out to me earlier this year to see if I'd have him on the show, a quick bit of research (And some discussion points from Daniel) highlighted what an interesting chat it could be. And it does not disappoint as we get through:- Early Entrepreneurial spiritShannon CollegeIroningFinding your feetTenacityVincent Madden & Arora Hotel GroupDavid Connell & Exclusive HotelsThe people you learn fromJames Horler & Ego restaurantsRunning a restaurantMoving back to IrelandThe start of RocksaltThe thin line between success and failureExpansionPivoting to Take awayBoldnessWedding cakes And so much more. Daniel demonstrates a boldness all the way through his career so far and it's clear that it has served him well to date. There are also so many great lessons from his journey. Enjoy! The Guest Daniel is the owner/creator of RockSalt Cafes and Restaurants. Starting off with a team of 7 including himself in a small 20 seater café, they now have 5 outlets with a team of over 80 and growing.
