#40 Business, Exits, Addiction and Dogs with Niall Harbison
I've had Niall on my list of guests to interview for quite some time, and this conversation didn't dissapoint. Niall Harbison is an Irish entrepreneur, with no less than three business exits under his belt in the last ten years. Following the sale of his last business, he did what so many of us probably think of doing, in that he upped sticks and moved to Thailand, to build a new life for himself in the sun, sounds terrible I know:(( What could go wrong, having achieved success after success with plenty of cash in the bank.....? well lots actually !!! In this very candid, open and honest conversation, Niall shares with me the many trials and tribulations he has encountered in his journey through life to date, in terms of living with depression, anxiety, and panic attacks for years, and then literally nearly drinking himself to death, having to sign himself into hospital last year, and spending time in intensive care. The great news about Niall is that he decided whilst lying in hospital that he simply didn't want to live a life like he was living anymore, so he made a deal with himself to make huge CHANGES in his life. Over the last twelve months, Niall has been able to get his health back on track, so much so that he has started his new life mission, which is to save thousands of dogs right across the world, starting in Thailand. Currently the CEO of Happy Dogs, Niall is spending his time now, going out every morning, with food and nutrition, looking for stray dogs, (there are literally thousands of them right across the country) to feed them and help them out. I encourage you to jump on Nialls instagram to you see the fantastic work he is up to everyday, it really is incredible to watch. I hope you guys get some value from this conversation, as I know I did, and I would like to thank Niall for his time, his honesty, and the humility he showed me when talking about such private and complex issues. I am thrilled to see life back in Niall again, its tremendous to see him looking strong again, and I am pretty sure, you will get some strength from listening to this episode. As ever, if you enjoyed the pod, please let me know, and please share it with your friends. Also a short review wherever you get your pods would be super. Until next time, look after yourself, and each other, Keep the faith, CD
