Host:  Keiran is the CEO of two furniture companies that he founded. A manufacturing professional by trade but one that is completely “unqualified” for it in the traditional sense.  

In this class Kieran will talk about what it means to work in industry as opposed to services or professions and the opportunities that are out there for people.

He will discuss what led him to start his own company, Swyft, and why he thinks risk taking and entrepreneurship is something that can be learnt.
