Win Happy Podcast

On today's podcast I have a very different conversation with Ellie the founder of Unbridling the Soul in West Cork. The very lovely Ellie provides a very unusual range of healing services both in person and remotely, but not via the Zoom or Microsoft Teams variety. I met with her at her beautiful home in idyllic West Cork at the foot of Mount Gabriel which she shares with her daughter and some horses that she uses as part of her work. Ellie chats about her early life and how this brought about an extremely strong connection to animals, which has continued to this day. As well as developing the ability to communicate with animals she also has the ability to see and communicate with the spirits that surround us. Following her curiosity and exploring these unusual gifts led her away from an early career as a chef to founding her own business that helps people and animals who may be in some distress. To better understand what she does she shares a very unusual story about a dog called Max and the spirits that were disturbed when the house where he lived was renovated. Enjoy the show...

A huge happy new year to all of my listeners. I thought the first podcast of the new year should at least bring a smile or two to your face! On today's podcast I had the pleasure of chatting with comedian, author and presenter Adam Christing about his latest book 'The Laughter Factor'. While we all love to laugh, what role does laughter have in the modern workplace? Adam chats about the importance of laughter in the workplace, some of the do's and don'ts and some tips and tricks you may use to introduce humour, even if it doesn't come so naturally to you. Adam says "you can bring your people together with humour and heart" Ebjoy the show...   Podcast Production by Greg Canty Greg's blog Greg on Twitter  Greg on LinkedIn Email Greg with feedback or suggested guests: [email protected]

On today's podcast I chatted with my son Brendan Canty as we come to the end of what was an amazing year for him. The first movie that he co-wrote and directed, 'Christy' hit movie screens around the world winning awards and great acclaim and his first full feature documentary 'Gaeltra' has just premiered at the Cork International Film Festival and scooped the Best New Irish Feature Award. The future is looking very bright and from the outside looking in, it may look as though he enjoys instant success at every turn, but as we all know nothing happens like that. On the podcast Brendan chats about these successes, but more importantly he takes us through all the other stepping stone projects that came before these where he learned his craft, from the first school projects, music videos and commercial work. In any career you can't cheat the learning curve, but you need to seize the opportunities along the way when you can gain all of that lvaluable earning. He also chats about the perils about working in such an unpredictable industry and how to keep yourself sane in the process!

On today's podcast I had the one and only, Deirdre Waldron, Founder of Fuzion to chat about a huge milestone in our business, This month we celebrate 25 incredibly busy and interesting years in business. We have weathered the storms of the post Celtic Tiger recession and the Covid shutdown, and in each case we stayed agile, we learnt valuable lessons and came out the other side wiser and stronger. To capture some of the learnings from those 25 years, our team put 25 questions to Deirdre about this time. Let's hear what she had to say…      Podcast Production by Greg Canty Greg's blog Greg on Twitter  Greg on LinkedIn Email Greg with feedback or suggested guests: [email protected]   

On today's podcast I spoke once again with a regular guest, Paul Niland who has been living in Kyiv in Ukraine for nearly 24 years. Paul who is originally from Ireland, is a journalist, a political commentator and the founder and CEO of Lifeline Ukraine, a national suicide prevention service. On the announcement of the very serious joke that is the 28 point "Peace Plan" that was cobbled together by Trump's administration and Putin, I just had to get Paul on the podcast to discuss it and the likely response from Ukraine. Paul, just days after Russian explosives had destroyed apartments just two floors above his own, he tells me in no uncertain terms what the response will be, and assures me that Ukraine is not on its knees and won't be capitulating to Russia at any point in the future. We chatted about life in Ukraine, the conscription of civilians to the army, the thousands of abducted children, the resilience of the people and how he believes this war will end. It is crystal clear that Trump is on the side of Russia, and what may not be clear is that while this is a huge issue for Ukraine today it could easily be a similar issue for Europe tomorrow.      Enjoy the show   Podcast Production by Greg Canty Greg's blog Greg on Twitter  Greg on LinkedIn Email Greg with feedback or suggested guests: [email protected]
