Description

Jonathan, Ryan and Martin Tierney are brothers with heads for business, hearts for people and souls that long to the leave the world better than they found it.
They're all directors at Seating Matters, a family business started by their mum that employs 60+ people and manufactures life-changing medical chairs for patients around the world.
In this episode we talk about:

Why they rarely sit at the same table
Seeing Santa’s sleigh while laying concrete
Cutting turf for pocket money
The series of mad events that led to them meeting Bob Proctor
Dropping out of school and quitting their jobs to work at Seating Matters
The family values that set them up for success
Losing their father at a young age
The unique superpower of each brother
Bringing head, heart & soul into business
How they protect their brotherhood
And advice they'd give to 18-year-old versions of themselves
