This week on the show we have another amazing guest - and another amazing Mind Full Live recording! Earlier this month we put on a live show in the beautiful Lark Concert Hall in Balbriggan, Dublin with Danny O’Reilly, the frontman for one of Ireland’s most successful bands - The Coronas - to discuss the power of music, while also treating us to a couple of stunning live performances in this very special show.

Danny has also been part of my musical memory for nearly 20 years. I first came across the Coronas when they burst on to the Irish music scene with their album Heroes or Ghosts back in 2007. Danny is a natural performer, hailing from a very musical family which includes his mother the much-celebrated singer Mary Black and his chart topping and talented sister Roisin O. Danny has cleverly and successfully navigated a constantly changing music industry over the last 20 years driven by a deep lying drive to express himself as a musician and a performer.

We were also joined on stage on the night by The Mind Full Podcast’s Producer Brian Connolly, who has a PhD in psychoacoustics. Brian joined us to discuss the neuroscience behind the power of music!

The Coronas new album Thoughts and Observations is out now and go to thecoronas.net to see all their live dates including 5 nights at The Olympia in December– their Xmas shows there are legendary. They also play vicar street Dublin, the INEC arena in Killarney and Ulster Hall Belfast so grab your tickets if there are any left.

This week on the show we have another amazing guest - a former professional rugby player with European giants Leinster, lead singer with one of Ireland’s best known bands, The Blizzards, star of TV’s The Voice, mindfulness expert, mental health advocate, award-winning podcaster, philanthropist, best-selling author - Niall “Bressie” Breslin is my very special guest for today. It has been a long time coming but I think the timing for our chat is just perfect and I know you’re going to love it.

In this fascinatingly informative and insightful conversation, Niall speaks about the crucial role that mental health structures play in the country, the failings and solutions. Niall also discusses his powerful new audio series, which is exclusive to Audible “Madman’s Hotel.” An incredible mix of storytelling, podcast and documentary, Madman’s Hotel traces the story of Mullingar’s St Loman’s “lunatic asylum” as they were known in a different time which was founded in 1855 and closed in 2013. It tells the story of one patient in particular, Julia Leonard and the tragic journey her life took which brought her to spend her days behind the imposing grey walls in Westmeath and the programme also aims to shed light on a mental health system tearing at the seams and explores the mysterious disappearance of 1300 graves.

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.
