John Collison’s Masterclass in Agenda-Setting Communications open.substack.com/pub/danpender/…

@collision @gdb Clever…but am I the only one hyperventilating over the state of those pints? 😳 @GuinnessIreland time to step-in!

One of the best parts of Stripe is working with the world's most interesting businesses. Taking advantage of this, we're launching a podcast where we host founders and leaders for a cheeky pint in our hastily-constructed office pub. Coming soon: episodes with @gdb, Meta’s Susan Li, @kvogt, and @levelsio. Let me know if you have suggested interviewees. We'll likely include a bunch of interviews with people you've never heard of but whose business stories are fascinating.

Where technologists see exciting possibilities, politicians often see risk. Read my thoughts in @IrishTimesBiz or bit.ly/4kFuGny on the AI’s creators, custodians, and @malcolmbyrne #AI Committee

Can the skills honed in the business world – especially deal-making – translate into effective political leadership? My tuppence with on this age-old question in @IrishTimes @IrishTimesBiz

Yes I am! What up @RestIsPolitics ?? Is this another “Brexit means Brexit” moment? 😉

Good read from @OMacdara20 showing why impactful public affairs is always a sum of the parts, and why isolated thinking results in…isolation! #intelligentcomms

@dlabanyi An understandable ask but is @RSAIreland guilty of one dimensional thinking? Private sector could deliver faster and at a fraction of the budget sought. Before the inevitable pile on, worth considering possibility that @Dept_Transport did its job here!

In autumn last year the RSA asked for funding so it could hire additional staff to work on expanded road safety campaigns in response to rising road deaths. The department declined. irishtimes.com/ireland/2024/0…

@IrishTimesLaura Release Person 6! Great read @IrishTimesLaura “It engaged consultants at an early stage but appears to have made the classic error of not heeding their expertise.” #justsayin

@IrishTimes 48 hrs of “late night talks” and “compromise” title tattle from media/politicians, finally a considered piece of analysis by @davidmcw @IrishTimes And we haven’t even talked here about public pension costs, pay deal’s impact on private pay, and ongoing rise in population 😳

In our latest #360FullCircle article, 360 Partner @PatrickODea1 highlights how committed leadership and Government backing are vital to ensure the Night Mayor becomes a positive force for Dublin's future rather than a misstep. Read the full article⬇️ weare360.ie/post-riots-dub…

As the next #GeneralElection comes into view, is the potential for a @sinnfeinireland led government exposing ‘cognitive dissonance’ at business #leadership level? Read in full ⬇️ #intelligentcomms

Surely a #Halloween contender @campbellclaret from downtown Palma #TOTD

“When Government says: ‘We will consult you’, now it means: ‘We will invite you to a meeting, you can say whatever. We will not engage with you. We will make a speech that does not engage with what you said, written earlier.’” Healy has never been afraid to call it as he sees it

“His thoughts were all I ever cared for too.” A beautiful piece of writing @ianoriordan

@campbellclaret A double page spread to put a pep in Labour’s step!

Media corruption on one front page … Daily Mail whose Editor Johnson wanted to run OFCOM and to whom he promised a peerage doesn’t bother with Johnson scandal but instead carries Johnson article suggesting other countries do something he opposed when he was PM.

@longdogbeirne Even better on split screen 🔥🔥🔥

This is insane..the commentary from Wayne Mardle makes it even better 😂 🙌🏼 love it!

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Brexit magnified the knowledge deficit that exists in both Ireland and the UK of our respective countries (political/economic/social, current and historic). Given the consequences, have our respective education systems a role to play in closing this deficit? #TRIPlive

ROYAL ALBERT HALL: QUESTIONS🚨 #TRIPLive If you're coming to our live show tomorrow night and have a question you'd like @RoryStewartUK + @campbellclaret to answer in the second half, send them to the hashtag above! #TRIPLive

@EnglandRugby @autumnnations Such a shortsighted decision. Listen to below with @LiquidThinker and @mrjakehumphrey and you may start to appreciate what I mean podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/the…

Following a review of the @autumnnations, Eddie Jones has been dismissed as England men’s head coach. The RFU will conclude coach succession planning in the near future. Read the full RFU statement here 👉 bit.ly/RFUStatement

@PatrickODea1 @andreagilligan @LunchtimeLiveNT Well said @PatrickODea1
