• Artist and Author Sue Stolberger - Nature is the Greatest Teacher

  In part two of a two part podcast, Artist and Author, Sue Stolberger chats with me about her nearly 40 years living in a tent in the Ruaha National Park in East Africa. Sue says that “nature is the greatest teacher” and she shares with me so many of her experiences from that special time including Winkie the Warthog, Mr and Mrs C, Romeo the giraffe, Mrs Reedbuck and the cycle of life, her encounter with a lion, falling trees, climate change, gender equality and her wonderful life with the world renowned sculptor, her very special Rob Glen. All of these stories are captured in her beautiful book, ‘Nature Speaks’ , which in many ways is as much a book about life as it is about nature. Sue has done lots, but there is lots more to come… Podcast Production by Greg Canty Greg’s blog Greg on Twitter  Greg on LinkedIn Email Greg with feedback or suggested guests: [email protected]

• Artist and Author Sue Stolberger - Living alone in a tent in the East African wilderness for nearly 40 years

  On today's podcast I chatted with the wonderful author, artist, photographer, nature lover and sometimes life philosopher, Sue Stolberger. Sue has had the most fascinating life, with most of it spent living in a tent in the Ruaha National Park in the East African wilderness. In part 1 of this two part podcast, Sue chats about her early magical idyllic life in Tanzania, her love of painting, living hand to mouth for four years in Italy, and then finally returning to Tanzania and purchasing a jeep with the proceeds of an exhibition of her work.   After spending some time exploring and painting in different locations at weekends, she met and fell in love with sculptor Rob Glen after a few twists and turns. A good turn to a stranger in need, resulted in a permit to live and work in Ruaha National Park, where they were the only people permitted to be there. Sue remembers a safari visit there when she was young, and feeling that her heart was going to burst with happiness. Let’s hear the story that brought her there...

• From Lead Guitar to Leading a Brand with Liam Mullane of Mercedes-Benz

  On today’s podcast I chatted with Liam Mullane, the musician turned Mercedes-Benz General Manager. Liam’s passion is music, and despite his very best efforts he realised that the life of a musician playing original material was not going to sustain him and he had to choose a different path. With a new focus this talented lead guitarist became a leading salesman, and after 22 years in the motor trade he is now the General Manager of Mercedes-Benz in Cork. He chatted about his career path, the ups and downs, the buzz of being a successful salesman, how to close a sale, the special role of cars in our lives, QTR and why the music never ever stops!

• Life in Tel Aviv since October 7th 2023 with Paul Kearns

  On today's podcast I chatted with Paul Kearns, journalist and urban planner, from his home in Tel Aviv in Israel, just 60 kms from Gaza. Paul is living there with his two young daughters and his partner and he has been there since 2018. He shares in detail the perspective of life there, how it has changed considerably since October 7th 2023, how it is for him and his family, and how it is for his neighbours, friends and Israelis in general. He talks about the censorship by the media when reporting about the atrocities in Gaza, the awkward relationship Israel has with Ireland, and why he has taken it upon himself to write about the conflict and pull back the curtains on the real stories. As an expert on urban planning and urban beauty I ask him how he can possibly continue to live there and how this conflict can be resolved. I hope you enjoy the show...

• Moving into Wisdom with Kevin Fahey, CEO of Essence of Leadership

  On today’s podcast I had the pleasure of learning some of life's lessons from a very wise man, Kevin Fahey, CEO and Founder of Peer to Peer coaching company, Essence of Leadership. Kevin came from a family farm in Tipperary, he went into the Irish clothing manufacturing industry and after a board room battle he found himself at home, unemployed. Never a man to stand still Kevin started off a successful training company and was once labelled a Positive Psychopath by one of his clients. Like so many other businesses the recession that followed the Celtic Tiger crash, had him once again wondering where the next few bob was going to come from.  Kevin reinvented himself, and with all of his collective wisdom and experience he remodelled his business following the simple principle that often the wisdom that we are searching for actually sits within us. He explains why and how peer to peer coaching is so powerful, in particular for business owners and senior managers. As I have been very recently grappling with a big birthday number, we also chatted about ageism and moving into “wisdom”! I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did...  Podcast Production by Greg Canty Greg’s blog Greg on Twitter  Greg on LinkedIn Email Greg with feedback or suggested guests: [email protected]
