The two weeks spent on the Plus3 trip in Dublin, Ireland is an experience I will never forget. Each day was filled with interesting people, places, and ideas to consider, particularly in the context of Ireland’s tech sector. Tech’s impact on the communities of Dublin was plain to see, particularly next to the parts of…

No Competitors Needed
Today had extra importance since FoodCloud, the organization that my group was covering, was presenting today. Surprisingly, they had already been name dropped by other companies we have visited, and after visiting and learning more about the company, it is not difficult to see why. They have a purpose that is both admirable and memorable….
Knowing your Network
“Network with intention.” These are the words that I will remember most from Rob Cullen’s presentation today about networking. The number of times I have heard from people that I need to start networking must be entering the thousands at this point. But, despite its importance, it is hard to know where to start, and…
Vikings and Google: Quite the Combo
Today has been filled with interesting information and action. In a welcome twist, we had a sizable amount of free time after breakfast this morning! So, before visiting Google, we spent that free time visiting the Dublinia Viking museum near our StayCity and went about exploring some Viking artifacts from the founding of the city…
Urban vs Rural
On today’s day trip, we took the scenic route and went to the less urban parts of Ireland, first on a farm up in the Wicklow mountains to watch and interact with some sheep and then into Kilkenny to visit some castles and walk around a bit. The whole experience was a great change of…
Moher Tours & Tourists
Today we rode a comfortable tour bus around to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway city, two places that attract many foreigners, and for a good reason: the views and vibes are immaculate. Tourism can benefit an economy by creating thousands of jobs, providing government revenue, and also serving to further enrich the populace’s view…
More Guinness, more Entrepreneurship
During our visit to the Guinness Store House, we learned a lot about Guinness’s vast history and intricate, complicated practices that have been improved over the decades to get to the beer that we have now. It got me thinking about the nature of innovation and entrepreneurship, and how a lot of progress can be…
A Flexible Mindset
After another uncharacteristically sunny day today, which I am not complaining about in the slightest, we ended up visiting the Guinness Enterprise Center to hear from Madison Roche about entrepreneurship. What really stuck with me from it is that entrepreneurship is more so an exercise of mental fortitude and being able to have meaningful connections…
A Tale of Two Irelands (Day 3)
The seismic shifts in Ireland as a business hub were felt more today than any day prior. While walking near the docklands with Dr. Darren Kelly, modest brick buildings of a bygone era sat under massive sprawling, glass structures, the offices of foreign tech behemoths. And although they look like they might be able to…
Not Micro nor Soft
Today was an interesting day as we went right from the historic tours of last night into the technology- and business-focused meetings with Microsoft. My first impression of Microsoft and their product offerings boiled down to Powerpoint, Word, Excel, and Xbox. I always heard from my parents about how important knowing the Microsoft suite is,…
A Good First Day in Dublin
As a consultant who is tasked with doing business in a country that is not their own, historical significance is integral for a good understanding of whatever task that you will be made to handle. One of the important jobs of a consultant is to gather as much information as possible, through both primary and…
