Aodan Enright – 1% Better

Welcome to Episode 85 of the 1% Better Podcast.

I’m very much delighted to introduce Aodan Enright as my guest for this episode. Aodan is someone I’ve taken inspiration from, admired and enjoyed getting to know over the last couple of years and was someone I’ve wanted to have on to the show from the very start. Now it's a reality. We both share a fascination for human performance and this conversation certainly lived up to my hopes and expectations.

Aodan is the Founder of Smarter Egg, where he works to help people: organisations, business owners, self-employed, high-calibre professionals. He’s an Executive Coach and works one-to-one with clients. Aodan also gives talks, plays the role of MC/Interview for events and runs events himself that align to his passion for personal development.

During this interview, we cover a lot of ground and it has lots of useful and practical insights that you can use. So I would recommend getting a pen and paper out and taking notes! Active learning required.

Below is a summary questions and answers as well as timings. Expect to see more and more Aodan out and about more in the coming weeks and month.
