Paul Flaherty is an ex All Ireland winner with Galway in 2017 and the founder of the app, "What\'s the Sc\\xf3r". What\'s the Sc\\xf3r is an app that let\'s you know in real time literally what the score is in any club game in Galway and Clare along with many more specific clubs throughout the country. We talk about what the plan is for the app in the next few years and what other sports it might evolve to cover too.

We also talk about what it\'s like setting up a business as an intercounty player and the other resources available to start up entrepreneurs in Ireland. In addition to this we chat about Paul\'s hurling career for Galway and LIT in general and hear some of the tamer stories from those times. Paul also chat\'s about how Covid has forced him to pivot the business slightly and how he\'s managed to keep the business going even when there\'s no scores needed to be known ! I burned the ear off him a few times with ideas for what else he could add to the app as it\'s such an interesting concept.

Overall this podcast is a great one for anyone whose curious to see what it\'s like to set up a business as an intercounty player along with a behind the scenes view of the commitment levels it takes to win an All Ireland. It was really insightful to hear Paul talk about the similarities between a high performing sporting team and his own business team. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, it was a fascinating one for me personally anyway.
