Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EE: 19 The Entrepreneur Solving Ireland’s Biggest Social Problems
Q: What are you most proud of?
The launch of our own Difference Day program and, more recently, the creation of the Zen Den, which turned a one-off charity effort into a scalable, well-loved product that benefits schools and communities long-term.
EE 23- Ask Paul – Practical Financial Advice
Q: What is the most frequent piece of advice you're asked for, and what is your answer to that?
Listeners most often want guidance on investing, particularly about the S&P 500 and diversification; the guest argues that while pension and tax-efficient investments are powerful, the real wealth typically comes from income growth and starting or growing a business, with a strong emphasis on well-diversified, globally balanced portfolios and avoiding overreliance on a single market like the S&P 500.
EE: 22 – AskPaul.ie (Part 1) - The Personal Brand that changed the Financial Planning Industry
Q: Paul, can you explain who you are and what you do?
Paul Merriman outlines his role as CEO of Fairstone in Ireland and his broader identity as the founder of the AskPaul financial planning brand, which evolved into a core part of the group after acquisition. He describes the business as a growth-focused platform built on comprehensive financial planning, education, and client trust, expanding through strategic acquisitions and proprietary tools.
Dublin Boy who Dreamed turning a College Project into a Nasdaq Listed Company
Q: What was your strategy to reach Nasdaq, and what were the biggest obstacles?
The strategy combined using OTC listings as a stepping stone, acquiring complementary companies and IP, securing manufacturing by buying Pocono, and navigating SEC inquiries, all while managing cash flow and investor expectations. The biggest obstacles were regulatory scrutiny, investor protection concerns, and the intense pressure of delivering on promises to thousands of shareholders.
EE: 20 Sometimes you need to fire your entire management team… including yourself.
Q: What are your four unique drivers and how do they shape your life and business?
Family, personal well-being, growth through learning, and financial freedom drive my daily actions and choices, with investments and business decisions framed to sustain all four pillars rather than optimize one at the expense of the others.
