About Our Podcast

A series of chats with a series of people, from Northern Ireland business, sport and beyond.

Behind Digital Circles are Paul Mooney, Robert Rickey and Michael Elliott.

The Digital Circles host Paul Mooney comes from a background based in sales and marketing. Paul had his own business which started out succesfully and then experienced a downturn due to funding cuts and basic business errors.
Frustrated by the lack of assistance out there for small companies expecially, he decided to bring more businesses into the view of the wider public and allow them to talk about their experiences of running a business and working with others. Now working in Ecommerce and Business Consultancy Paul hopes to help others thrive.

"Podcasting is a great way of allowing the average person in the street to get to know the character that runs the local butchers, shop, or cafe. If everyone knew a little more about the person behind the local business and how difficult it is at times to run a company I believe they'd be more inclined to shop there". Paul in his spare time enjoys being tortured by his daughters and walking his dogs as well as assisting the Professional Footballers' Association in Northern Ireland,

Robert Rickey started out online selling in 1997 with his first website. From there he started his first brand in 2002 and sold millions of dollars of products in the US, Europe, and Australasia before educating others from 2014 on selling online. Robert also set up a Freight logistics company before selling it in recent years. After exiting the Online Education company he co-founded in 2023 he now continues to offer consultancy to online sellers and businesses who require experience and growth advice.

He enjoys helping and educating others and is a longterm sufferer of Everton Football Club. Now, that he is in the incredibly fortunate position of having kids that are all grown up he also enjoys travelling and eating ice cream.

Michael Elliott is the sound and visual expert behind everything you see and hear. "Mike" as we like to call him has a wealth of experience in editing and shooting professionally from local productions to online image photography for products. Michael is also a keen script writer with his partner Claire and enjoys comedy, coffee, Craft Beer and play dates with his little boy and fad diets. He spends most of his time wishing Paul and Robert would stop talking about football and is an incredibly good guy. He is also well known for his smooth and knowledgable interjections on the Circle Back Show.
