The Hidden Life of an Abuse Survivor — Tomás Hardiman

Tomás Hardiman is a film producer and a survivor of childhood abuse. His recent documentary “The Days of Trees” tells the story of his own experience of childhood sexual abuse, and his long road to recovery. In this conversation, Tomás reflects on the years he spent in the dark, his gradual process of healing, and how he was able to convert his deepest childhood wound into a creative project - a documentary that is now impacting people all over the world. Gabor Maté had this to say about it: 'It's all about healing and transformation, a person finding themselves… I really urge you to see it. A beautiful film.' Here are some of the things we explore in this discussion: — How memory, shame, and repression often intertwine in trauma — Why Tomás almost walked away from the film — The role of creative work in transforming suffering — How Tomás has been able to forgive the seemingly unforgivable. And more. You can watch the film at https://thedaysoftrees.com/ and get 50% off if you use the code: TWU50 when purchasing. --- Tomás Hardiman holds a B.Comm from NUI Galway (1979) and an M.A. in Film and Television Studies from Dublin City University (1992). After graduation he worked in human resources in Dublin before living for a time in Toronto, where he began a professional career in the theatre as General Manager of Mercury Theatre Company. Following his return to Ireland he was appointed Marketing/Publicity Director of The Abbey Theatre where he worked from 1985 to 1993. He then returned to Galway where he ran his own communications and independent film production company, Parzival Productions. From October 2002 to November 2007 he was Managing Director of Galway Arts Centre and the Cúirt International Festival of Literature. He was a member of the board of Theatre Forum, the representative group for Irish arts organisations, from 2005-2007. He continues to produce and manage creative projects across multiple artforms and in 2013 completed a three-year training programme to become a teacher of the Alexander Technique. He produced eleven films between 1998 and 2023. Most recently he collaborated with acclaimed Irish writer/director Alan Gilsenan, to produce a loose trilogy of films about psychological trauma: Meetings with Ivor, The Meeting and The Days of Trees. The latter won the George Morrison Award for Best Documentary at the 2024 Irish Film and Television Awards. --- Interview Link: — Tomás' website - https://thedaysoftrees.com/

This weeks guest is another amazing and inspiring person. Geraldine Lavelle's life changed “in a heartbeat”. That was in October 2013 when she was left paralysed from the chest down following a collision with a lorry.The Mayo native had become accustomed to enjoying an early-morning cycle before work, until the accident cycling on the Longford-Mullingar road changed life for the then 27-year-old. The collision left Geraldine, a graduate of NUI Galway where she gained a first-class master's degree in neuroscience, with life changing injuries.Since then, Geraldine has spent over ten years in an institution and has been become a very well known and highly respected disability rights campaigner. Her victory eventually came to pass recently when the HSE finally provided her with the 56 hours a week of care support she needs to live independently in a specially-adapted home of her own, like any other 30 something-year-old.

He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from NUI Galway and a DPhil from the University of Oxford. He is a Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin (FTCD), and was the first Ireland-based elected Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science (FAPS) and is an elected member of the Royal Irish Academy (MRIA). He has a popular newsletter at brainpizza.substack.com - signup for slices of writing on brains, behavior, and lots in between… In this episode, Shane highlights that all public health agencies advocate for at least three to five hours of exercise per week because our bodies are designed for movement. Sedentary habits can lead to high blood glucose, type 2 diabetes, undesirable cholesterol accumulation, and increased inflammation. Tune in as we talk about how an active lifestyle is beneficial while inactivity is harmful. Exercise lowers cancer rates, especially bowel cancer. Aging increases disease risk, but a healthy body improves cell function and reduces cancer risk. To enhance your health, avoid smoking, vaping, excessive drinking, and consume a diet low in ultra-processed foods and saturated fats. Social connections are vital for mental well-being; humans' social and cooperative nature has been key to our success.

She tells her housing story of living in fear, anxiety, the impact on her child, and how she is overholding because there is no where to go and she refuses to be evicted into hidden homelessness. This is the tsunami of evictions we've warned about and with almost 19,000 notices to quit served to tenants in 2023, the Government must re-instate the eviction ban, make the tenant in situ scheme work, and stop evictions into homelessness.

vStream, an Irish immersive technology company, has launched a campaign to sign up 10,000 patients to its Virtual Reality platform, ShineVR. ShineVR, is a Virtual Reality Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) platform designed to deliver programmes in Stress Reduction, Wellbeing and Chronic Pain and will feature on the RTÉ TV show, Big Life Fix, to be broadcast on 6th March, showcasing the life changing benefits of VR for patients with Chronic Pain. The Enterprise Ireland supported company is keeping patients voices at the heart of what they are building, working closely with patient advocacy groups. Airing this week, Big Life Fix will showcase ShineVR's technology and how it can be used in the treatment of Chronic Pain. The show focuses on the creation of a tailored virtual reality solution for Theresa O'Rourke, a 72-year-old Chronic Pain patient and member of Chronic Pain Ireland. The solution has been designed and built on vStream's Virtual Reality platform, ShineVR, in conjunction with a team of experts which includes Dr Rosemary Keane, Principal Specialist Clinical Psychologist for Pain Management at Mater Misercordiae University Hospital. Andrew Jenkinson, Co-Founder, vStream said of the application: "What we created for Theresa was a form of relaxation and distraction. The ability to provide an escape for her using elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) was the first step we wanted to take in proving the effectiveness of VR as a digital therapeutic. The results were astounding, with Theresa reporting no perception of pain during the VR experience, and an average 33% reduction in pain perception over the course of a year of usage. It has helped her sleep and significantly improved her quality of life. But this is just the beginning. We are now raising investment to build a scientifically validated CBT course for Chronic Pain, which will provide long lasting effects to patients." Niall O'Driscoll, Co-Founder, vStream continued: "We need patients to be at the heart of what we do. We need them to help us build it. We need them to help us make it work. We need them to convince the healthcare community that this is worth investing in.Chronic pain is one of the costliest health problems in the world. It affects 20% of the world's population, and in Ireland that number is significantly higher. We're using the TV show to get our message out there and get patients signing up to become part of our development and testing." Dr Rosemary Keane, resident in the Mater Hospital and clinical advisor to vStream spoke of the potential of this innovative approach: "The team in vStream has a vision to create a powerful intervention by digitising evidence-based approaches like CBT, which we know work, and delivering them on a unique and potentially very effective platform. I have been part of this journey to date, and I'm excited to see the solution progressing into something we can offer patients at scale. The need is there, we have huge demand on our health systems. A solution like ShineVR can and will have a real and much needed impact." vStream is currently on a funding round for the platform and is actively recruiting pain specialists and patients with Chronic Pain and associated conditions to take part in the co-creation and validation of ShineVR. Interested parties can apply through the websites below. The company is supported by Enterprise Ireland and is working with The Centre for Pain Research in NUI Galway and Chronic Pain Ireland along with its team of advisors, health insurers and health systems in Ireland and the UK to build and scale the platform. CPI Chair Martina Phelan states: "Chronic Pain Ireland is excited about the potential of vStream's ShineVR platform to transform the lives of those living with chronic pain.

Andrew Phemister is Research Associate at Newcastle University. He has previously held postdoctoral positions in History at NUI Galway, the University of Oxford, and Edinburgh's Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities. In this interview he discusses his new book, Land and Liberalism: Henry George and the Irish Land War (Cambridge University Press, 2023) Irish land in the 1880s was a site of ideological conflict, with resonances for liberal politics far beyond Ireland itself. The Irish Land War, internationalised partly through the influence of Henry George, the American social reformer and political economist, came at a decisive juncture in Anglo-American political thought, and provided many radicals across the North Atlantic with a vision of a more just and morally coherent political economy. Looking at the discourses and practices of these agrarian radicals, alongside developments in liberal political thought, Andrew Phemister shows how they utilised the land question to articulate a natural and universal right to life that highlighted the contradictions between liberty and property. In response to this popular agrarian movement, liberal thinkers discarded many older individualistic assumptions, and their radical democratic implications, in the name of protecting social order, property, and economic progress. Land and Liberalism thus vividly demonstrates the centrality of Henry George and the Irish Land War to the transformation of liberal thought.

In this interview he discusses his new book, Land and Liberalism: Henry George and the Irish Land War (Cambridge University Press, 2023) Irish land in the 1880s was a site of ideological conflict, with resonances for liberal politics far beyond Ireland itself. The Irish Land War, internationalised partly through the influence of Henry George, the American social reformer and political economist, came at a decisive juncture in Anglo-American political thought, and provided many radicals across the North Atlantic with a vision of a more just and morally coherent political economy. Looking at the discourses and practices of these agrarian radicals, alongside developments in liberal political thought, Andrew Phemister shows how they utilised the land question to articulate a natural and universal right to life that highlighted the contradictions between liberty and property. In response to this popular agrarian movement, liberal thinkers discarded many older individualistic assumptions, and their radical democratic implications, in the name of protecting social order, property, and economic progress. Land and Liberalism thus vividly demonstrates the centrality of Henry George and the Irish Land War to the transformation of liberal thought.

How Building Better Relationships Drives Growth for Irish Staffing Company, with Andy Mackin, Ep #140

The Resilient Recruiter

What's the secret to scaling a staffing company internationally? According to my special guest Andy Mackin, relationships are a key driver of business growth. In this episode, you will hear how Andy transitioned from serving with the Irish Navy for 21 years to becoming an EY Entrepreneur of the Year finalist. He shares his story of rapidly expanding his staffing company from six employees to 200 in less than 8 years.  At Mackin Talent, their number one value is “Relationships Matter.” Listen to Andy explain exactly how they invest time and resources to build stronger client relationships. He reveals how they've embedded this core value into their systems and procedures from the way they sell to the way they deliver their service. Andy is the CEO of Mackin Group, which encompasses Mackin EHS & Mackin Talent. They're an award-winning business services company headquartered in Ireland and operating globally with 200 team members in 12 countries. Episode Outline and Highlights [3:47] Discussion on Andy's process for posting original content on LinkedIn. [7:08] Andy's reading challenge and book recommendations. [11:09] Why Andy started a health and safety consulting firm after leaving the navy and how that led to building a staffing agency. [23:04] Great life lessons that Andy shares from working as a server/waiter. [27:25] Breaking down the stages - growing from 6 people to 200. [33:38] The business value of building relationships and treating everyone the way you want to be treated.   [42:10] How to engage and build relationships with clients with a hybrid setup. [48:55] Andy's strategies for building business roles and framework. [50:30] Biggest challenges when scaling a business rapidly. [53:56] Andy shares his biggest learning experience from 2014 up to now. Life Lessons From Working as a Waiter Andy's story is interesting and colorful indeed - before setting up his own consultancy business, he served in the Irish Navy for 21 years. After retiring from the Navy, he set up his own health and safety business which led to him setting up a talent and staffing agency. What struck me is when Andy shared his stint as a server or waiter before joining the navy. He described it as his best 10 and a half months experience in life. For him, the life lessons he learned and the experience of dealing with people are invaluable. It became a foundational step in his journey that he attributes to his success in the recruitment space. Andy shares: “It is all about people. People that you deal with, life is all about people. I think recruitment is a pretty solid industry where it is all about people. How you get on with people, how you react to people, how you react to candidates, how you react to clients… it has served me well.” How Relationship Building Was the Key to Scaling the Business One of the keys to the growth of Mackin Talent is they partner with multi-national corporations and support them in rolling out sizeable EHS (Environment, Health and Safety) projects. As a small business, how do they win these major accounts? According to Andy, it's simple - relationships. Corporations are made up of people. He can form a relationship with one person in a company, land small opportunities, and expand from there. Eventually this leads to larger and larger opportunities. Of course, it is expected that they can deliver, which they do.  To further strengthen their business relationship, they ensure that an onsite engagement specialist is present with their clients free of charge. This investment ensures that the project runs smoothly, resulting in less worries for their clients, and more repeat business for Mackin Talent. This practice enables them to embed themselves within their clients, and deliver excellent service.  Their guiding principle is to treat other people how you want to be treated. The Importance of Meeting Clients Face-to-Face How much relationship building are you doing remotely versus in person? This is the same question I asked Andy during this interview. Since the pandemic, a lot of business owners are conducting the majority of their meetings virtually. But how critical is face-to-face relationship building when you are looking to scale your business? For Andy, they still allocate at least 65% in-person relationship building but are on the track of further increasing it to 75%. He spends thousands of dollars quarterly just to meet with employees and clients in person - the creativity and collaboration are just different when done in person. It is nice to speak with people regularly via Zoom, but meeting them in person levels up the relationship.

Deirdre Ní Chonghaile is a writer, musician, broadcaster, and curator from the Aran Islands. Working bilingually in Irish and English, she is drawn to voices, contemporary and historical, especially those that have been marginalized, and to what they have to say or sing. She read Music at St. Hilda's College, Oxford, and worked at the University of Notre Dame and the Library of Congress. Deirdre is currently curating an exhibition for Roinn na Gaeilge at NUI Galway on the first professor of Irish there, Tomás Ó Máille, and also preparing an anthology of over fifty traditional songs composed in the Aran Islands from the nineteenth century to the present day. In this interview, she discusses her new book Collecting Music in the Aran Islands: A Century of History and Practice (U Wisconsin Press, 2021), which uses interlocking case-studies of traditional music collection to investigate questions of preservation, curation and marginalization. Collecting Music in the Aran Islands, a critical historiographical study of the practice of documenting traditional music, is the first to focus on the archipelago off the west coast of Ireland. Deirdre Ní Chonghaile argues for a culturally equitable framework that considers negotiation, collaboration, canonization, and marginalization to fully understand the immensely important process of musical curation. In presenting four substantial, historically valuable collections from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, she illustrates how understanding the motivations and training (or lack thereof) of individual music collectors significantly informs how we should approach their work and contextualize their place in the folk music canon.
