A lot of times when employees come into a business, they're waiting to be told what to do. We try and hire people that will tell us what to do.

Damien Mahoney is the CEO of Stackla, a global company with dozens of employees and offices in the US and UK. Many of its clients are household names: McDonald's, Nintendo, Toyota, and Sony, just to name a few. In recent years the company has worked through the pandemic, which hit many of its key clients, and a legal dispute with Facebook.

Before we hear how Stackla came through those years, we go back to day one, to the story of how a part-time job in radio that was too good to pass up would ultimately lead Damien to become the CEO of a global technology startup.

Welcome to Day One is brought to you by the City of Newcastle and Newihub, a growing and vibrant community of Newcastle's startups & founders.
