In Australia we mention the GFC from time to time but most of us didn't feel the full effects here.Gerard Doyle on the other hand was in London running a company during that fateful time in 2007.It's quite incredible to here the carnage an external factor can have on one's company and Gerard speaks at length about how that time was for him.Another story we discuss is Gerard's attempt to start a company and disrupt a large industry. Disruption is spoken about in Startup Land all the time, however what's often not mentioned is what happens when these industries fight back.Turns out the incumbents aren't going to roll over easily, which Gerard found out first hand.Enjoy the episode!
