In this episode I sit down with Jack Kavanagh, a man whose hard to put a label on. He's a trained pharmacist, resilience coach, host of the only human podcast, a Ted talk speaker and much more. Jack's had a documentary ,"Breaking Boundaries" made about him and his trip with his friends through America.

We talk about the traumatic experience that Jack went through and how he's used that as a springboard to achievement. Jack's real skill is his ability to talk about his own experiences in a way that ends up making the story feel like your own. Jack describes how when he's giving a really good talk or coaching lesson, the talk ends up becoming about the audience as he is only a doorway into analysing their own experiences. 

We talk about Jack's own Leaving Cert experience and what lessons he has learned in the 10 years or so since then. From about 40 minutes in Jack starts talking about the resilience coaching that he's been doing and that part is what I myself took the most from.

Overall I think this is the one that I've learned the most from so far. Jack's got an incredible way of extracting lessons from his own experiences that do apply to everyone. His focus on the positive and being a "rational optimist" as he describes it himself is inspiring and is definitely one of the take aways from the podcast. I hope you all enjoy this episode and take something away from it too !
