Networking is a contact sport. Staying visible, meeting new contacts, learning new things, having fun! A flavour of a month of networking, from meeting my new @Talentor_Int colleagues to an @GatewayToEurope event with @DeirdreGiblin1 to the L4G event. thecurrency.news/articles/24…

Paul McArdle: In praise of good old in-person networking

One of the things I’m doing more of this year is going to more in-person events. A lot of people roll their eyes at the word “networking”. It is daunting going into a room where you know nobody....

50 years ago my cousin, Garda Michael Clerkin, was assisinated by an IRA booby trap bomb. His other cousin, Jamie Mac Giolla Bhain, has written Thundering Disgrace, about Michael‘s death and how it unwittingly led to the resignation of the President. thecurrency.news/articles/24…

Today's column has some good news and some bad news. * The Greenland deal means that the risk of EU-US trade/economic war is much reduced * Trump's recent visit to Ireland shows he doesn't want to pick a fight with Dublin as he has with lots of other allies * Germany, Europe's biggest economy, is finally growing again. Less good * Talk of an export ban on diesel in the US could cause shortages (and even higher prices) on this side of the Atlantic. * Investors are losing faith in France as the presidential election approaches next spring. Nobody needs another euro crisis. thecurrency.news/articles/24…

From @WSJFreeEx via @WSJOpinion: On the last night of his life, Glen Hansard was doing what he did: playing in an ordinary pub, in Dublin, like a newcomer to performance instead of one of his country’s most famed musicians, writes @rkylesmith on.wsj.com/4pQOY0q

Opinion | Glen Hansard Made Beautiful Music

And one movie that ranks among the best of the 21st century so far.
