The 864 with Stephen Ryan – Story Telling, Creating Tribes & 4 Big Ideas! Welcome to another episode of the 864 podcast. Stephen Ryan is a Marketing expert, a Storyteller, a Lecturer and, just recently, he’s launched his own story telling agency, Narration.ie. On the same day, he launched another project called 24Stories (24Stories.ie). I caught up with him a few weeks back to learn about both. He talks about the concept behind both and his hopes for both in the coming weeks and months. Stephen also shared his own personal story during the show, talking about his physical disability growing up and how this had a massive impact on the person he has become today. He talks about the tools and skills he learned at Enable Ireland in his early years. This was a big turning point for Stephen. Towards the end, Stephen shares some tips in the marketing space that he’s learned along the way as well as answering some random questions.

Welcome to another episode of The 864 Podcast. In this episode, I talk with Partnerships & Philanthropy Manager for Enable Ireland, Sinead O'Keeffe. Sinead talks about her career in hospitality, great learnings from this area. She wasn’t 100% content in this space after coming home to Ireland in 2009 after working in the US for a number of years. She had a desire to work in an area where she could give back. That started out her journey working for non-profits and the charity space. Her current role with Enable Ireland really connects with her values, beliefs, and sense of purpose. We talk about her work in this role, how she builds relationships, develops strategy, goal setting and implementing, influencing skills, selling and other core competencies that she uses on a daily basis to be successful in the role. Sinead also talks about dealing with setbacks when funding doesn’t come her way. Feedback is key and ensuring it’s taken onboard and used to her advantage. I hope you enjoy the show.

In this episode, I talk with Rosanna Arquette. If you want to find out about her relationship with Madonna or other standard movie questions from her acting career, this is probably not the interview for you! The 864 aims to understand a little bit more about the person, what they value, how they have been successful, deal with life challenges and other obstacles that get in the way and we stayed close to these topics in this conversation with Rosanna. What I did totally not stay true to was the 864 seconds duration piece. It’s more like the 1500 second podcast but it’s not every day I get to chat with Rosanna Arquette and the good stuff kept coming so I wasn’t going to break the flow!
