A great piece of advice is to Know What You Don't Know. Imagine starting in an organisation like @cnn and meeting so many impressive people who are intelligent, speaking a multitude of languages and you're from a small city in Ireland, ready to take on the world.

@hilary_newsfix found herself in this position, but leaned on knowing that she was there to learn, to build trust and to soak in as much information as possible. Check out Hillary's story on the latest episode of What Makes You Tick?

29 years old entrepreneur and founder of NewsFix Hillary McGann speaks to me about her career in journalism and how she’s found a niche in the market to help inform people on the news around the world.

Hillary is a remarkable person who faced numerous challenges in her young life with health issues popping up just as she was about to move to the next level in her career at CNN one of the worlds powerhouses in news.

This podcast is a great reflection on a wonderful career, how NewsFix is helping so many people especially young people who find consuming news daunting. The goal of NewsFix is to give you a foundation of knowledge so you can take part in a conversation.

Hillary shares her career with me and it is clear to see she has a passion for news, passion for life and a wonderful way with words. Hillary shares some advice and believes that it is important to know what you don’t know and don’t be afraid to ask questions and for help.

Having ambition to lead is one thing, but when it comes to making decisions the buck stops with you as a leader. As Brian touches on the loneliness of command is real. #leadership #command #decisionmaker #wmyt #whatmakesyoutick

Describing his first tour with the Irish Army and the moment he found out what leadership was all about. @cahillbravo #whatmakesyoutick #thisisnotadressrehearsal

Today's guest is Commandant Brian Cahill @cahillbravo who is currently serving in the Irish Army and stationed in Syria as part of a UN mission.

Brian speaks to me about his experience in the Irish army with over 20 years experience working through the ranks.

Brian's biggest challenge as a young 22 year was commanding troops on his first ever mission, where people of all ages, older and younger were looking to him for leadership and direction. The safety of his troops was in his hands and it was there he found that leaders are those who take action and responsibilities for their actions - while others follow and implement what is required of them.

What's more, Brian shares his unquestionable desire to learn and grow, as you'll hear from the books and leadership quotes he recommends in the episode.

He walks away with a few key points of note such as - looking in the mirror and asking yourself, are you proud of what you've done. That is his litmus test of his day and his approach to life.

A wonderful friend with countless tales and unquestionable desire to learn and grow. Here are some of the links to the books and quotes he spoke about

@garethtlogan describes his relationship with his Dad… a reminder to tell those you love that you do indeed love them #family #life #wmyt

Following our conversation with @garethtlogan it reminded him of a poem by Charlotte Bronté called Life which outs into perspective the strength we have after times of struggle and despair.
#resilience #hope #life

Gareth had to grow up quickly, at 13 he lost his Dad and his world changed - now he’s the man of the house, imagine the pressure he put himself under.

This is part of his story #wmyt #family #resilience #fatherhood #friendship

Today is a very exciting episode, where I sit down and chat to a super friend and confidant of mine Gareth Logan who is an entrepreneur owner of Taxifair.ie.

What’s so interesting about this episode is how Gareth aka Logi opens up about his challenges with dyslexia growing up, how he found at 13 he was going to experience the toughest time in his life following the loss of his Dad. In a moment, he had to grow up.

Life for everyone is challenging and while there are hard times in our lives, remember that people care for you and he’s blessed to now have a family with four fantastic kids who help him appreciate every day.

What I learned from this even more so is how lucky I am with the friendship circle I have and how I take inspiration from those who are closest to me.

Gareth encourages everyone to talk and is a big supporter of Pieta house. To find Gareth online head to @garethtlogan and he’s open to sharing his experiences or even answer questions you may have.
