As an entrepreneur he's done remarkably well. His online fitness/mindset courses cost €70/80 quid a pop and he has a couple of hundred signed up to each one. He's now doing mindset seminars at something like €150/a day with over a hundred people attending. He's launched two books with another on the way. He's raised €250,000 for Irish charities. So as a business man, his story is somewhat interesting if you leave all the sob story mush out of it.

Yeah, he's made money. But what is he actually selling? He has no real qualifications or life experiences. He prays on people who aren't quite as smart as he is and don't see through his BS. I get the feeling a lot of money he has made comes from other people's doll money. The only skill shown in his 2 books so far is the ability to google and copy/paste. He's good at building up a following on social media and selling people nothing, thats about it. He's a chancer and a cheat.

Also, he keeps up spouting this mantra of "I am enough." "I say it myself everyday," he says, but then turns around and sells people these "goal setting," "mindset" workshops and seminars, claiming he can help them realising their full potential and change their life. It is contradictory to claim that you "are enough" then sell (aka repackage someone else's work) self-improvement nonsense.

If he ran a successful gym and got out of bed to train people every morning that would be one thing. His gym closed a couple of years ago. He's not interested in working hard and building a worth while business. He's interested in making money and the idea of being famous and doesn't really care how he gets it. He said so much him self when he was training models.

I don't believe for a second that he cried all the way home on the bus from Dublin--that aspect of the story seems to have been added at some point from when he started telling that story a year or so ago. If he was drinking Champagne with models up in Dublin, he might have thought to spare the tip on one of those bottles so he could afford the bus home the next day. He uses social media to sell a successful image of himself as someone who can change your life, but he admitted on the late late show that that was what he was trying to do in Dublin and it didn't work.

But the thick country bumpkins down in Galway bought it hook line and sinker. His parents must be damn proud.

If his story is supposed to be inspirational I might as well try and get on the late late. Sure I went to college, was in debt, had to get financial assistance from the college to get me through...had to work a ****ty job in final year...got honours degree and now successful in a multi national.

Where can I sign up for your seminar?

I never doubted his achievments were great, he is a credit for Irish entrepreneurship.
but he spent the majority of the interview gushing out this woe is me very exaggerated pity story about feeling a failure after a few weeks of not being a Personal Trainer. Then having to get a job in retail for the time being and feeling like a complete failure/loser in life because he didnt become this overnight success in the Personal Trainer sector a few months after doing a course!

Surely someone of his family/friends could sit him down and tell him, at 22 years of age this mindset was immature and frankly pathetic and to snap out of it! He talked about being embarrased to be seen in Galway with his hood over his head, crying for three hours on a bus home and walking down the beach crying EVERY DAY!

This story was either a nauseating exaggerated infomercial which isnt something you want to be listening to on a Friday night when the majority of viewers didnt know him from Adam or else the tale of a very naively immature young man which doesnt fit with the narrative of what he has achieved since!

And then we listened to applause from the audience when he shared with us that he is taking his family for a bloody holiday in Italy!! Who even cares!!

I even would have preferred to hear more about how he conducts his businesses, his charity endeavours, his seminars anything but that!

I wouldn't go as far as to say he is a credit to Irish Entrepeneurs.I would leave accolades like that to people like Michael Oleary etc.People who produce tangible goods /services .

Ha. I was being a tad sarcastic just to please those who think our issue with the interview was belittling his achievements!
