God his pal Donal Byrne is sooooo annoying. He has 25k followers now from Alan, god knows how much better his business is. I remember him on the cruise, he had like 400 followers from the first day of the cruise. Hope he’s treating Alan well
Donal had at least 3,000 followers at the time of the cruise. When he done Alan's first podcast he might of only had 400 but his following grew quickly when people heard the podcast and could relate to his personality.
"I hope he's treating Alan well" ???
What do you mean by that? Treating him to candlelit dinners? Donal sponsors Alan's podcast, he PAYS Alan? Without his sponsorship there wouldn't be a podcast. No podcast, no shows. He gets advertising in return. It's a business agreement.
And so what if his following grows on Instagram, he doesn't owe Alan anything for that. Because, I don't know if you realise this but the bank don't take Instagram followers as currency. You can't pay your mortgage with Instagram followers, nor can he pay his company's wages. His company has grown with the advertising, which he pays for but its his business decisions and hard work that pays the wages, not Alan.
