Episode three of The Capital B has arrived and the line-up this week is exceptionally sporty.

Presented by renowned journalist and author Nick Webb, The Capital B brings you the sharpest and most relevant business features every week. The panel includes  JOE founder Niall McGarry and Róisín Hogan, the Irish woman who very nearly became Alan Sugar’s business partner on the The Apprentice.

This week football super agent Eamon McLoughlin, who represents some of Ireland’s biggest names, gives some insider knowledge on how to spot talent on the field and the big money business of player transfers. 

Rob Kearney and Andrew Lynch co-founders of Mason Alexander drop in to talk about the terror of setting up a new business, calling their mothers to look busy and the privileged link between elite sports and business.

The panel tussle over the controversy of unpaid internships, the best ways to stand out in a towering pile of CVs and how not to be  a spanner in an interview.
