My guest this week is Cormac Ryan who has had an extraordinary life and he is still only in his 20s! Cormac has had a number of moments that have dramatically changed the course of his life including finding he needed a cardiac pacemaker implanted when he was just 18 whilst playing minor hurling for Dublin, who got to the All Ireland Final that same year.

In 2021 Cormac took part in the RTE documentary Unspoken, which showed his journey from being diagnosed with an eating disorder and getting treatment at the Lois Bridges clinic. Then just a few weeks after completing that treatment he undertook to cycle 6000 km from Achill in the west coast of Ireland to Athens in Greece.

What shines throughout this episode is Cormac’s will to overcome all the adversity throughout his life and the determination to help other people who are going through similar issues through his charity work. 

Every week I ask my guest for 3 moments of clarity that contributed to a change in course in their life journey. It can be anything big or small. Something that moved their life in a new direction. All my guests have one thing in common and that is they are inspirational people who when faced with adversity, whether in business or personally, see the positive way forward.
