"Do Hard Things On Purpose" - the secret to handling the stresses of life and business. Brian Downes has "Coffee with Colm" – Season 9, Episode 3.

This was a great chat!   Brian Downes is a fascinating character in real life with an equally fascinating backstory which has equipped him, and qualified him, to do the great work he does around performance with individuals and within teams. From spending a week on a frozen lake in Outer Mongolia at minus 40 C (by choice!) to watching his 8-year old daughter perform in the Cork Opera House, to talking openly about his two-year period suffering almost daily panic attacks and what he did to wrestle that under control, this wide-ranging chat explores the troughs and peaks of the life of Brian (couldn't resist, sorry). Lads, (as we say here in Munster) stick on the kettle, grab a coffee, and think with Brian and me in your preferred way. You'll thank me afterwards. Stay well. Watch the full episode here…
