Jane Ni Dhulchaointaigh (Inventor/ Entrepreneur): Episode 35

Jane Ní Dhulchaointaigh from Kilkenny is an inventor of a product that Time magazine rated as the 22nd most important invention of the 21st century (10 places above the iPad). Here she tells the story of how Sugru was born out of her realisation that she could not do the thing she'd worked to achieve her whole life. Jane talks about the stigma surrounding failure while explaining her journey of exploration, struggle, faith in other people and the importance of starting small before something can be truly good.
