11: Your Best Self with Entrepreneur, Mark Little

Entrepreneur and former journalist, Mark Little is the King of re-invention.

His career has taken him everywhere from Washington DC as RTÉ’s US correspondent to the helm of one of Ireland’s biggest current affairs shows, Prime Time. In 2010 he founded Storyful – a social media intelligence agency - which was acquired by NewsCorp in 2013 under a multi-million euro deal. Since then he has held positions including Head of Media Partnerships and Managing Director at Twitter and more recently he has returned to his entrepreneurial roots by co-founding Kinzen a social intelligence agency to combat disinformation.

In this episode Mark tells me about his early days in journalism, the story that left a lasting impression on him during his time in the US, asking questions of those in power during Ireland's financial crisis and the inspiration behind his multi-million euro venture Storyful.

We also discuss Twitter's decision to ban Donald Trump from the platform, the regulation of Big Tech and the future role of blockchain in protecting the privacy of our data online. I hope you enjoy the episode.
