Todays Guest. Philip Brady, executive coach and new father, shares how his three-month-old son is teaching him more about himself and the world than he ever imagined possible. We explore the fascinating journey from early exposure to personal development books to coaching high-performing leaders who genuinely care about making a positive impact.
• Philip received his first Tony Robbins book at age 11 and has been studying personal development ever since • Grew up in Dublin before moving to County Meath at age 13, navigating the challenges of finding new community • Works with "unicorn" clients – exceptional performers who want to make the world better for others • Great leaders demonstrate growth mindset, curiosity, reflection, and taking responsibility • When feeling negative, use the "what, so what, now what" journaling technique to gain clarity • The mind-body connection is crucial – when your mind is negative, change your physical state • Negative emotions aren't problems to eliminate but valuable messengers with half-lives of 30-40 seconds • Acceptance is the foundation for change – "the sooner we accept that life is the yin yang, the sooner negative feelings disappear" • Fatherhood is "beautiful chaos" that reinforces the power of accepting reality as it is • Philip's future plans include more speaking, music, nature connection, and tree planting with clients

In this episode, I sit down with Dee McColgan a friend and fellow member of our business community for the past five years to talk about what it really takes to build and run seven businesses at once. Dee opens up about the relentless work ethic that's carried him through his career, including the hard lessons he learned navigating the 2008 financial crisis as a business owner. We dig into how that experience shaped the way he approaches risk, resilience, and decision-making today. We also talk about the mindset side of entrepreneurship: why health and fitness aren't just personal goals for Dee but a core part of how he leads and sustains energy across multiple businesses. If you're building or thinking about building a franchise empire of your own, this conversation is packed with hard-earned insight.
