On today’s podcast I chatted with Londoner, Len Lipitch who celebrates 50 years living in Ireland this year.

He started off as an accountant and working on one of the first “Flower Power” festivals changed his career trajectory.

Len worked providing visuals to touring bands, he worked in a number of different countries and then he came to Ireland for a simpler life. He came to West Cork, bought a cottage for £1,000 and ended up living without water or electricity with a donkey called Honk, who was his only mode of transport for two years!

Many years later after some twists and turns a Tarot Card reader told him that his life was about to change, and days later he picked up a young German hitchhiker, Sabine Lenz, which was the beginning of a very special love story and a successful jewellery business, Enibas.

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.

Among other things she chatted about the huge role of parents, the changing media landscape, roller skating and why we should not “shrink to fit”

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.
