Welcome to Series 9, Episode #75, where I interview Jerry Kennelly, founder and CEO of Tweak, a productivity platform for marketers. Jerry shares his journey from growing up in County Kerry and dropping out of school to work in the family newspaper business, to his success as a photojournalist, and eventually creating the multimillion-dollar business Stockbyte, which he sold to Getty Images for $135 million. He discusses the challenges he faced, the relentless pursuit of business innovation, and his efforts to foster entrepreneurship in Ireland, including the establishment of the Junior Entrepreneur Program. Jerry also shares insights on the balance of work and life, the importance of community, and the motivational aspects of entrepreneurship.
