Win Happy Podcast

Today's guest tells her love story for Ireland, the man who kindly gave her and her travel companion a lift, and the very special craft business that they have developed together.

On today's podcast I chat with Sabine Lenz from Germany who tells that fascinating story, how she first met Len, bringing an old derelict ruin of a cottage back to life in a beautiful West Cork location and how they raised a family together.

They also turned a craft jewellery making hobby into the hugely successful brand, Enibas, with two stores in West Cork, stockists throughout the country and a thriving online store.

I am heartbroken to hear about the passing of my friend Micheál Sheridan of the Mercy Hospital Foundation.

We hadn't been in touch for quite a while and despite the connected world we live in today I had never realised that he was sick.

My sincere condolences to his family and friends and I hope they will take some comfort from the huge difference he made to so many when he was with us.

Micheál was one of the very early guests of the Win Happy podcast and this is the recording of our conversation back in October 2018.

Micheal, you total gentleman, we will miss you.

On today's podcast I chat with Andrew Dewar the serial entrepreneur, Thetahealer and co-founder of Five Year You.

Andrew, who grew up with a sister with severe autism, lived in a constant state of stress and the very worst nearly happened when she actually tried to kill him.

This traumatic experience had a huge impact on his life and it is only in the last few years after much therapy that he has rediscovered the real Andrew,

Inspired by his own transformation, he co-founded Five Year You, whereby people are helped to create the version of themselves that they wish to be.

This conversation was very personal for both of us.

In part two of a two part podcast with Paul Ruane, the Head of Brand with Fuzion who talks about the whole process of branding and how it works.

He also talks about rebranding, when it is recommended and why he felt it was necessary to rebrand Fuzion and how he went about this.

Even though the chat got a bit "nerdy" at times for anyone in business this is a valuable conversation.

On today's podcast I chatted with Paul Ruane, the Head of Brand with Fuzion who is responsible for the "hot off the press" rebrand of the agency.

Graphic Designers are a strange breed and in this episode I try to get to know Paul a little bit better and also to find out what he means when he talks about "your brand" and why it matters so much.

Running your own business for 20 years is a fantastic achievement.

When you run your own business and Covid throws a huge spanner in the works and you decide to grab that "opportunity" to emigrate to the United States with two children while pregnant, people might think you were nuts!!

On today's podcast I chat with the co-founder of Eazy City and EZC Study Abroad, Julia Lynes who has done exactly that.

Speaking from her home in Florida, Julia share her personal and business story including the challenge of running a business from a different continent and how she will be celebrating the 20 year milestone this year.

On today's podcast I chatted with Valerie O'Hanlon, Career Coach and founder of Clarence Consulting.

In a way Valerie was her own first client as she took her own career direction into her own hands and stopped what she was doing to go out on her own.

"It's not worth it to be miserable" she says, and as a career coach she helps people who might be stuck in a rut to make the necessary changes and end this misery.

We chatted about her own colourful life and career, and why she called her own business after a special character in her favourite Christmas Movie!
