Recent Episodes
This week on the show we look at Real Manifesting with entrepreneur American CEO & Founder of the global fitness and health brand WHOOP, Will Ahmed. WHOOP, a company that Will founded as a young man at Harvard, has become a worldwide success with the company valued at nearly 4 billion dollars. It is worn by elite athletes from footballer Christiano Ronaldo to golfer Rory McIlroy and basketball star Lebron James. I chat to Will at his company headquarters right in the heart of Boston and we talk about loads of fascinating stuff like never giving up on your dreams, overcoming anxiety, the power of meditation for success in business and how Amazon tried to steal his idea from under him. The cheek!
We are also so excited to be joined by author, psychologist, neuroscientist and manifesting expert, Dr. Sabina Brennan. Sabina has just published her brand new book, the Neuroscience of Manifesting and if you’ve been feeling stuck, if you have a dream that’s been sitting in the back of your mind, if you’re ready for a change in career, relationship, money or any of your goals, then do not miss this invaluable deep dive into the scientifically proven and utterly fascinating exploration of Real Manifesting.

This week is all about mental toughness – without having to jump out of a helicopter or survive in the jungle! Ray Goggins is a Former Army Ranger & Tier 1 Special Operations unit leader. Ray is as tough as they come and is also known from hit TV show Ultimate Hell Week on RTÉ where he has regularly made regular Joe Soaps and some celebs regret ever going on the show. He is author of the best-selling and fascinating book Ranger 22 – Lessons from the Front. From the hills of south Lebanon to the monsoon jungles of Southern Asia, Ray has operated in a life-and-death world. In Liberia, Afghanistan and the snow-covered Balkans, Ray has seen conflict zones, terrorist attacks and hostage rescues, and has learned the greatest life lessons: how to control fear, how to react calmly and positively, and what mental toughness is really all about.
I also want to introduce you to a man who has dedicated his career to understanding what makes people mentally tough, what mental toughness actually is, the common misconceptions and if it’s something we’re born with or something we learn through living. Dr. John Perry is co-author of the fascinating book Developing Mental Toughness and found his way from the UK to the University of Limerick where he conducts world-leading research on the topic. As a sports and high-performance psychologist he works with elite athletes, educators and business people to help them uncover the secrets of achieving true success without getting in their own way.

This week on the Mind Full Podcast I am so excited to bring you a very special guest. He’s an artist, writer, podcaster, comedian, musician, philosopher and is known to wear a plastic bag on his head from time to time. He is one half of the incredible musical duo the Rubberbandits and a man I first came across when we worked together on the TV show The Republic of Telly. The unique, funny and always creative Blindboy Boatclub is my guest this week.
Blindboy is eloquent, open, honest and refreshingly funny about his neurodiversity and has helped so many young people deal with anxiety and other mental health issues. I sat down with Blindboy in a tent in a field in Stradbally Co. Laois. It was the Electric Picnic Festival and The Mind Full Podcast was part of the famous Mindfield. Blindboy was in rare form as they say and we had a wonderful chat about mindfulness, Limerick, writing, autism, and rats among other things!

Ever find yourself a bit frazzled? If so, then this episode is for you!
Emma Doran is a stand-up comic, podcaster, author & sketch comedian who you may have seen recently on Amazon Prime’s LOL – Last One Laughing Ireland. Emma has appeared on comedy shows like The Republic of Telly and the No Worries if Not sketch show on RTÉ TV. Her online sketches are just brilliant and have earned her a loyal and fanatical following who pack theatres on her live tours. Emma’s brand new book Mad Isn’t It? is insightful and hilarious and tells the story of a solo trip with her best friend to a Wexford caravan park, where a barely 18-year-old virginal (ish) Emma discovers it only takes one time to change your life forever and, in her own words, end up covered in stretch marks! Emma is so authentic and has a wonderful outlook on life so jump on in for inspiration!
Allison is a psychologist, bestselling author and columnist, whose much loved Ask Allison column in the Irish Independent is a firm favourite with readers. She’s the author of two books The Secret Lives of Adults and her just published and wonderful book It’s All Too Much - Practical Ways to Pause Panic Attacks, Reduce Anxiety and Overwhelm and Rediscover Everyday Joy. If you find yourself a bit frayed around the edges sometimes, you’ll get so much from these wonderful insights from Allison Keating.

This week on The Mind Full Podcast we are so excited to bring you an incredible guest - Glen Power from worldwide powerhouse band The Script. Glen has an incredible mind, is such a lovely fella and as well as being part of a band that has seen 10 billion streams, 12 million album sales and 6 UK no.1s, he is also a profound thinker, an exceptionally wise teacher and has taken time out from a US stadium tour to chat to us all.
We look at the impact of losing his best friend and bandmate Mark Sheehan tragically last year, alcohol free living, touring with Pink, finding space in the busyness and not losing sight of what’s really important - Plus all his favourite techniques for dealing with a full mind including his own invention of un-peopling!
This interview comes as The Script release their latest studio album Satellites which is just brilliant, particularly the opening track Both Ways – an absolute belter! I’m so glad you can join us for that this week.
No need for a tech expert this week as Glen is a beautiful teacher himself, he even is a trained Reiki practitioner! If you’ve ever lost someone close to you, or have found yourself all at sea in your own life, there are so many wonderful takeaways from this very special episode.
