S7 E10 - Set The Fire To The Third Bar
Season 7 Episode 10
For our Season 7 finale, Stephen takes the mic solo while Keith is tied up with work commitments (don’t worry, he’ll be back for Season 8!). Joining him in the studio is Danielle Tutty from Rathmines Glass, who brings powerful insights into life, business, and breaking barriers in the construction and glazing industries.
Danielle opens up about her journey of growing up in a family business, the lessons passed down from her father and grandfather, and how the trade has evolved over generations. She shares the challenges of being a woman in construction, the stereotypes she’s faced, and why representation matters now more than ever.
The conversation also takes a deeply human turn as Danielle reflects on the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the devastating toll it has taken on families. She shares the heartbreaking story of a close friend who is separated from her children on opposite sides of the Gaza border, highlighting the human cost of war and the importance of empathy, awareness, and solidarity in times of crisis.
From the importance of authenticity on social media to the need for supporting local communities during tough times, this conversation dives deep into the realities of running a business in today’s world. Danielle also reflects on how early work experiences shape career paths, how technology is influencing younger generations, and the ongoing struggle of balancing work with family life.
As the episode closes, Stephen and Danielle discuss the future of glazing, the need to nurture new talent, and how innovation in manufacturing can open new doors for the industry.
This is a powerful and inspiring finale that shines a light on resilience, family, community, and the ongoing journey of breaking down gender barriers in the trades, while never forgetting the global struggles that remind us of our shared humanity.
