Memoir of a Failure: From my First Confession to the Financial Crash

How does a six-year-old fail their First Confession? Especially in 1950’s Holy Catholic Ireland?

After this remarkable achievement, John Shee thought that the only way was up, that he had somehow managed to get his life's biggest failure out of the way at an early age. But what goes up, must come down, and the 2008 financial crisis ensured that it came crashing down.

The economic collapse would cause untold damage to the country and its citizens for generations to come. Drawing from his experiences as a property developer during this time, John offers fresh insights into the causes and consequences of this turbulent era.

Follow his journey from a childhood dealing with overzealous educators, to his college days in an Ireland that was finally starting to emerge from the shadow of the church. Follow him from taking his first steps into the world of business, to seizing the opportunities presented by the Celtic Tiger. And learn how he lost it all, declared bankrupt while owing €160 million.

This is a story about family, friendship, business, and betrayal.

This is the memoir of a failure.
