"Entrepreneurship is a personal growth engine disguised as a business pursuit." - James Clear.

Starting and running a business is one of the best ways to find and exploit every vulnerability in your armour.

We often say we value one thing, but our behaviours and actions can demonstrate something else.

Seamus has spent years coaching humans, originally in a health and fitness capacity, and now in the performance, personal development and business arena.

He explains how we so often develop habits and behaviours that don't align with the values we say we hold, and how we can develop new patterns at any stage in our lives to help us move back towards the people we actually want to be.

We explore these questions and our thoughts and impressions of the show.

Growth, success and achievement in life seems extremely hard. For so many of us, some of the biggest barriers we experience are based around the narrative we have created inside our own heads.

Lack of belief, lack of ability, imposter syndrome, fear - these are some of the common experiences for so many people. In some cases we are held back by our environment. But in many cases, we stand in our own way.

We explore this with Brian O'Loughlin and discuss some of the strategies we can use to overcome these barriers and change how we view ourselves and the world.

We discuss:

- The impact of your own childhood on the type of parent you become

- Ian's zero-tolerance attitude towards those who associate parenting with negativity

- Peter-pan syndrome and why many new fathers struggle

And a lot more.
