What Makes You Tick?

A few months ago I got a chance to sit down with a great friend of mine Ciaran Ruddock also known as Rudds.

He is a very inspiring person both as a close friend and as an entrepreneur.  I have known Ciaran for a decade and whenever we get a chance to sit down and catch up, I leave the conversation either learning something or wanting to follow up on a topic he showed a great amount of passion for.  

He is one of the people who has a willingness to learn, to adapt and is open to receiving coaching and direction from those who have more expertise in something, so that he gives himself the best opportunity to achieve his goals.

Ciaran is the Performance Director and a founder of Fitter Faster Stronger Gyms FFS here in Dublin, a brand that has grown in stature in health and fitness for the last 7 years.

However, prior to this career, Ciaran was a professional rugby player with Leinster. Hailing from a family of rugby personalities the apple didn't fall to far from the tree for Ciaran.

In this episode, we got a chance to talk about his transition from professional player to entrepreneur and the challenges he had to overcome during that time.

We talk about how he approaches life and how he lives his mission of helping himself and others become the strongest versions of themselves both personally and professionally.

We discuss work ethic and the topic of how to create opportunities for yourself, there's simply no short cut for long term success.

Not only that Ciaran talks about creating habits to promote positive physical & mental health.

Speaking with Ciaran on this podcast was great fun. I know there's a lot of people who are looking forward to hearing what makes Rudd's tick and without further delay, enjoy the show.

"My mission is to help myself & others become the strongest versions of themselves" 

As a coach, I am passionate about helping people to improve the way they look, feel and perform. 

I believe to do this there are no secrets of quick fixes. There is just a constant pursuit of better. 

The 4 big pillars that will help anyone be at their best are: 
1.Physical activity 
2.Nutrition 
3.Rest & recovery 
4.Mindset

Everyone can always be better and I enjoy helping people enjoy the process of getting better.

Leading Women in the telecom and cable industry, Rhona takes us through her career and more.In this episode, I got a chance to sit down with my sister and talk to her about her career to date, her motivations, her challenges and her approach to life. At the time of the interview, Rhona was the Senior Vice President of digital with Comcast. Her title has since changed to Senior Vice President Consumer Experience Transformation at Comcast. I'm so proud to start this podcast with my sister. We recorded the conversation in her home in Philadelphia and what I learned from this was the fact that having a coach or a sponsor in your career is so important. Also, to dive into something and give it your best before you decide it's not for you. And more importantly, be part of a diverse environment with many points of view so you can learn and navigate your way through life with some perspective of other points of view.If you would like to reach out to Rhona you can find her onLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhona-bradshaw-61257b25/Twitter - @rosie62
