So, last Friday I received a diagnosis I wasn't really expecting, and it's a stark reminder that life is always waiting in the wings to pull the rug out from under you.

I had a bloody marvellous season 2 planned for you, but for now, it will have to wait.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who made season 1 such a pleasure. I have enjoyed every moment of it, and the guests were such a pleasure to speak to and learn from.

For now, see you over on social media where I will probably be sharing some of the story over the coming months.

You're fucking amazing.
Don't go changing to try and please me.

Christine MacKay founded salamandra.uk in 2014, a multi-award-winning animation studio that specialises in animation for business (B2B) and visual problem-solving.

In 2021, she released her bestselling book, Destination Animation - How Smart Marketeers Convey Complex Messages memorably, which tells the story of animation as a medium for B2B marketing as opposed to entertainment alone, while exploring why animation makes for a compelling and versatile business tool, and how it conveys complex messages more memorably than text alone.

If you are on the fence about whether you need to consider some animation in your mix, then you've come to the right place. The options really are only as limited as your curiosity, and Christine breaks them all down in great detail for us today.

Today on the pod I am speaking to none other than Shane Cradock. Shane is the secret weapon behind many of the most successful and influential leaders in Irish business. How is he different? Because a while back Shane recognised that your methods for achieving success mean absolutely nothing if you don't have a method for managing your Inner World. 

So if you are operating in business at 150% at all times, cramming in every hour possible, sweating for deadlines and missing out on moments with family and friends - you may have a rude awakening lying in wait for you in the not-too-distant future. 
Shane shares his own personal story of how he came to realise the outer world means nothing without understanding what's happening internally and shares genuinely thought-provoking questions that you can consider. 

Here is where you will find Shane: 

• The Inner Edge Podcast
• Shane's Website is where you can sign up for Shane's weekly newsletter 
• LinkedIn
• Instagram
