A Pivotal Moment

Ep 1. Stewart Kenny: From bookmaker to psychotherapist


Listen Later

In this episode of A Pivotal Moment, host Mark Cahalane talks with Stewart Kenny, one of the founders of Paddy Power, a bookmaker known for its cheeky and irreverent brand. However, what many may not know about Kenny is that he is now a psychotherapist and coach, with ADHD playing a central role in his work. Stewart grew up in a family that valued social justice, which stuck with him throughout his life. In this conversation, he shares how he transitioned from being the son of a devout Methodist and Supreme Court Justice to founding one of the biggest bookmakers in Ireland, going on to be Chief Executive of the public company and giving it up at 50.
