9 : Entrepreneurship as a Spiritual Practice with Colm Dolan


Listen Later

“I found that work was an ability for me to bring out my spiritual teachings and share my values with other people.”

Welcome to the Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. I’m your host Adam Coelho and I’m glad you’re here. 

Today we talk to my friend, Colm Dolan who was one of the first people I met when joining Google back in 2010. Colm is a former Googler and founder of Publift - an adtech business that helps online publishers build sustainable revenue streams. He is an ad ops veteran and sports fanatic with a passion for self-improvement and creating better life situations for all.

I’m excited to share this episode with Colm where we explore his entrepreneurial and mindfulness journey both of which started after he and I had dinner together in Sydney, Australia 7 years ago. After that dinner he quit his job and set out on his own path. His mindfulness practice developed alongside his business and provided incredible support to him and all of the people that his business touches. 

In this episode Colm and I dive into:

  • Colm’s thoughts on how entrepreneurship is a spiritual path in it’s own right
  • How there is so much learning and growth that come from building a business and dealing with the challenges that come along with it.
  • Why Colm has found it essential to build structure in the your day
  • How Colm thinks about his metal diet to keep a healthy mind by avoiding news and social media
  • Why Colm says it’s important to find a few minutes of mindfulness throughout the day to reset and flush out the “mental build up” that comes from living and working in the modern world. 
  • How to discover what your values are and how you can check in with yourself from time to time to see if you are actually living in alignment with those values
