Mick Cronin: From Small-Town Struggles to Social Change Maker
In this season 5 opener of Great Conversations, Nicola is joined by social change maker Mick Cronin for a powerful discussion on resilience, authenticity, and living a life of purpose. Growing up in a small town outside Dublin, Mick shares how his challenging upbringing and decision to leave Ireland shaped his path toward working with addiction, youth detention, and marginalised communities in Australia.
We explore the wisdom he’s gained from decades of transformative work: the importance of being real, supporting rather than fixing others, and finding perspective and gratitude in the face of adversity. Mick opens up about the toll of burnout and his steps to live more fully, reprioritising family and not sweating the small stuff as he embarks on a new business to create job opportunities for marginalised communities.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that our past doesn’t define us—it equips us with the tools to make an impact.
