EP265 — Cheaper grinds at scale + how a Wexford mixer takes on Coke & Fever-Tree

Part 1:Brendan Kavanagh (Grinds360) explains how a hybrid learning model can undercut traditional grinds: where €2,000 per subject becomes ~€1,000 for all 20 subjects, with live nightly classes, a huge on-demand library and student tracking. He shares year-one results (€1.8m) and how revenues hit €2.4m in just late summer, plus expansion to NI/UK and how SAT could bring them a million more students annually from Asia.

Part 2:Brendan Colbert (Poachers Drinks) on fighting global incumbents: shelf tactics, re-engineering the supply chain to reach 55–60% margins, landing premium accounts and pushing into Dunnes (≈45 stores)—with a Poachers Cola coming. And why they'll keep Gaeilge on their bottles when heading into the UK market.
