Aidan McCullen Part 2 - There’s Nothing In A Caterpillar, That Tells You It’s Going To Be A Butterfly
The Ben Ryan PodcastShow Notes
Today’s show is the second of a three-part series with former rugby player, turned exec coach, podcaster and writer, Aidan McCullen.
Last week we talked about nutrition and breathing and how he is ever-evolving as a father and husband by learning new things each week and this week we discuss Aidan’s playing career, from being capped with Ireland, Leinster, his arrival in France with first Dax and then his dream club, Toulouse before finishing his career in England with London Irish.
He’s so good to chat too and in this episode we cover topics such as discipline vs talent, manifestation, which I’m a big believer in and the role of mentors which is also something we delve even deeper into next week in the third and final part, but we started by Aidan talking about one of the great minds of the 20th century.
