In this episode of Spirit Box, I had the pleasure of speaking with folklorist and writer Scott Richardson-Read the brilliant mind behind Cailleach's Herbarium. The focus of today's chat is Scott's new book 'Mill Dust And Dreaming Bread, exploring Scottish folk belief & folk magic'. Together, we explore the deep roots of Scottish folk beliefs, looking at how animistic worldviews were layered over time with Christian, Norse, and Anglo-Saxon influence. Scott introduced me to the Gaelic concept of Dùthchas—the inherited right to place and belonging—and we discussed its significance in shaping Highland identity and political history. We also touched on the shared rhythms of Irish and Scottish Gaelic, the legacy of Alexander Carmichael and the Carmina Gadelica, and the enduring power of charms and spoken magic. One story that really stood out was that of St. Columba lending out his sacred book, only to burn it upon its return—a tale that sparked a discussion about healing, miracle-working, and the threads of folk magic that persist beneath the surface of Christianity. Through it all, Scott painted a vivid picture of a world where people lived in deep, reciprocal relationship with land, weather, ancestors, and the unseen. In the Plus show we ventured deeper into the mythic and cosmological territory of his book. We talked about the Three Worlds, the Primordial Twin, and how these ancient ideas mirror spiritual systems across the globe. We explored the notion of a pact between realms, the sacred nature of hospitality, and what it means to live in a world where everything is animate and interconnected. One of the most fascinating parts of the Plus Show was our discussion on the origins of spoken healing charms—those poetic, potent utterances passed down through families to stop bleeding, mend bones, or ward off illness. Scott spoke beautifully about how these charms carry ancestral knowledge, and I shared stories of people I know who still use them today. We also talked about the Cailleach, the powerful old woman of Gaelic tradition—part ancestor, part deity—who shapes weather and land and who remains a potent figure in both lore and personal practice. Scott spoke about how the Cailleach features in his work and how she represents the deep animism and ecological awareness at the heart of Scottish folk cosmology. We closed our conversation reflecting on the deep-time resonance of folklore—from the Milky Way as the Path of the White Cow to the sacred symbolism of rivers, straw, and cows. This wasn't just a discussion about stories; it was about remembering who we are, where we come from, and how we might live again in right relationship with the world around us.

Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, where we tell Irish myths set to original music. In this episode, we continue our series on the Fianna, the Fianna Saga, with a particularly memorable arrival at Tara. We might all know the Salmon of Knowledge story or the burning of Tara at Samhain, but this tale offers a fresh perspective on this legendary chapter. My sister, Sorcha, told this story. Before we dive in, we'd like to take a moment to thank our sponsor for this episode—Tigh'n Alluis, the Irish Sweat House. This family-run business, created by siblings, two brothers, is reviving Ireland's ancient sweat house tradition. Places that were once used for healing, restoration, easing rheumatism to curing colds. Positioned in the stunning location in the Dublin mountains overlooking the Wicklow and the Irish Sea, Tigh'n Alluis blends old Irish mythology with holistic practices, using the four elements—fire, water, air, and earth—to create a sauna experience like no other. You'll leave feeling restored, refreshed, and connected to an age-old Irish healing tradition. You'll find more about them in the show notes—be sure to check them out. Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen. This story includes mentions of fire.

Níl dul chun cinn ar bith déanta ag an Rialtas ar na fadhbanna reatha atá ag daoine a bhfuil MICA ina dtithe cónaithe, a deir Neasa Ní Chnáimhsí as Bun Crannacha. Labhair sí le Frances Nic Géadaigh.

Mo asks Andrew Cogar: Tell us a business development story that you are particularly proud of. There was one project that stands out for Andrew, where he and the founder of his firm, Jim Strickland, had the chance to not only create an awesome property but also restore and support the local ecology as well. During the meeting, Jim and the client discovered they shared a mutual friendship and instead of talking about the project they started geeking out on chicken coops. That kind of interest was exactly what the client was looking for, a firm that was completely authentic to themselves. Andrew set the table for that approach that allowed Jim to be Jim to the fullest. It's all about being true to yourself, listening, and then connecting. The way that you win work is to actually start doing the work. The right thing to do is to start adding value. When you do those things, you aren't competing anymore. This gets the client excited about the person who is facilitating their vision. It takes them from a leap of faith to “When can we start?”   Mo asks Bonneau Ansley: Tell me of a business development story that you are deeply proud of. When Bonneau started the business, he made sure that he was selling for a reason. Even when they weren't making any money, he made sure that every sale gave back to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Hospital and it's become the most rewarding business activity he's ever done. Having clients is not about a single transaction. Bonneau wants to grow with his clients and for the company to have a footprint beyond real estate. By pairing sales with a noble endeavor, he makes the mission of the organization more than just profit. Visiting the hospital in addition to donating money is part of the company culture. When things get hard, the charitable aspect of the business helps but he has a deep desire to win that keeps him going. Overcoming his natural weaknesses and leveraging his strengths also allows him to stay motivated.   Mo asks John Tigh: Tell me of a business development that you are particularly proud of. During John's time working as a consultant while working for a top-10 pharmaceutical company. He had a chance to meet another top-10 pharmaceutical company and help them implement a new technology. John had a productive initial meeting but hadn't really heard from them for two years. Eventually, John was contacted to pick up the project after another consulting company dropped the ball. Disaster struck and the leader that was meant to guide the project left the company. John put his hand up to help them move the project forward as long as they were willing to trust the team to get things done. Over time, the team grew and John ran that project from the outside for three years and grew the business to the tune of multiple millions of dollars. All of that came from one initial meeting and building trust by offering some expertise and help with no strings attached. He was the one who wrote the strategy that transformed the business as well as the leader and operations person who helped make that happen. John's biggest achievement during that time was in overcoming his own inner critic. By learning about and practicing meditation each day, he learned how to get out of his own way. Having a moment at the start of each day to throw off the doubts and the worries and focus on doing what he can do has changed the rest of John's life. One of the biggest blessings of a high performing team that has your back and believes in you is that they can help you manage your own inner critic.     Mentioned in this Episode: GrowBIGPlaybook.com historicalconcepts.com Visions of Home bonneauansley.com john@clevercognitive.com linkedin.com/in/johntigh clevercognitive.com

Mo asks John Tigh: What is your favorite science, step, or strategy from the GrowBIG Training or the Snowball System? John has been involved in the Snowball System for a long time and the Gravitas Model is a strategy that he uses every single day. It's the perfect framework for taking any conversation where you want to go. It has an incredible level of flexibility and imparts a character to your conversation that people can't help but enjoy. It also gives you the ability to keep the conversation going. When you ask great questions, you get a triple win. With the way the Gravitas Model is designed, they light up the pleasure center of the other person's mind when they are sharing their personal perspective, you learn their priorities in their words, and the questions highly correlate to likability. The more they talk and the less you talk, the more the other person will like you. John's perfect buyer is in the C-Suite or someone dealing with content creation. During a conversation with his perfect buyer, John would talk about what they have in common, the challenges they experienced in the past, and their current role and their current projects. Typically, the goal for each meeting is to secure the next meeting. By addressing the base level mechanical questions, John can take a conversation up to higher level vision-based goals. He often asks people how calm the seas are and what they think the future holds, with a hook at the end about any questions that John didn't ask but should have. John is always looking for an opportunity to offer value in some way or to make a connection or introduction for the other person in an effort to secure the next meeting. The framework is simply built around looking for ways to make the other person look good. Once you get the Gravitas Model in your bones, it really does help every kind of conversation, whether that's spoken or written.   Mo asks Linda Klein: What is your favorite science, step, or story from the GrowBIG Training or Snowball System? Linda never wants to be unprepared in her work, and the same is true in meeting with a client, which is why Dynamic Meeting Prep is Linda's favorite strategy. A potential client's business always has important area-specific language that they use that you should know. It's amazing how much companies have on their website and what you can learn by doing some research. Those insights are invaluable during a meeting, and preparing for a meeting pays dividends when you land the business because then you have a huge head start. Everybody prepares for delivery meetings but rarely do people prepare for the initial meeting. You can't prepare for the first meeting at a dinner before the meeting day. Research is crucial. Make preparation a priority and get the team strategy outlined ahead of time. Your team needs to show the client that they are seamless, working together and solving the client's problems. Figure out what your goal for the meeting is, what the frame for the meeting is and how to kick it off, what the big questions that might be asked, natural next steps, and potential cliffhangers you can use to get the next meeting. Being direct can be a challenge but being authentic about the fact that you want to simply be helpful is the best approach. Be ready to discuss what the client wants to discuss. The more prepared you are in advance, the easier it will be to switch gears and the more comfortable you will be.   Mo asks Andrew Robertson: What is your favorite science, step, or story from the GrowBIG Training or Snowball System? Writing down the seven relationships that are the most important to growing the business was a technique that changed the way Andrew thought about business development. Andrew has a lot of great relationships with CEOs in various other businesses, but a lot of them didn't start out at the top. Those relationships were nurtured over time with people that moved up in their organizations or moved around in their industry. Think about how you got into your position and where people are right now that you can connect with. When asked to list our most important relationships, we tend to think of our best current relationships by default, but that's the wrong approach. We should think about the relationships that will have the most impact on our business first. The number seven forces you to make choices and really identify those relationships that will move the needle. Your list should contain people you have a relationship with, people you don't know but would like to have a relationship with, and the people you need to have a relationship with who won't necessarily send you business directly but can help you find it elsewhere. You only have a limited amount of time, so you need to be clear on your priorities, not just around what you do but who the most important people are. Create a shortlist and give yourself a short timeframe to connect and advance the relationship with those people. If someone is not going to make an impact, it's better to figure that out in three months rather than three years. Be thoughtful. Sit on the other side of the desk and empathize with the person you're trying to build a relationship with.     Mentioned in this Episode: GrowBIGPlaybook.com john@clevercognitive.com linkedin.com/in/johntigh clevercognitive.com lklein@bakerdonelson.com linkedin.com/in/lindakleinlaw andrew.robertson@bbdo.com

Mo asks John Tigh: What is your favorite science, step, or strategy from the GrowBIG Training or the Snowball System? John has been involved in the Snowball System for a long time and the Gravitas Model is a strategy that he uses every single day. It's the perfect framework for taking any conversation where you want to go. It has an incredible level of flexibility and imparts a character to your conversation that people can't help but enjoy. It also gives you the ability to keep the conversation going. When you ask great questions, you get a triple win. With the way the Gravitas Model is designed, they light up the pleasure center of the other person's mind when they are sharing their personal perspective, you learn their priorities in their words, and the questions highly correlate to likability. The more they talk and the less you talk, the more the other person will like you. John's perfect buyer is in the C-Suite or someone dealing with content creation. During a conversation with his perfect buyer, John would talk about what they have in common, the challenges they experienced in the past, and their current role and their current projects. Typically, the goal for each meeting is to secure the next meeting. By addressing the base level mechanical questions, John can take a conversation up to higher level vision-based goals. He often asks people how calm the seas are and what they think the future holds, with a hook at the end about any questions that John didn't ask but should have. John is always looking for an opportunity to offer value in some way or to make a connection or introduction for the other person in an effort to secure the next meeting. The framework is simply built around looking for ways to make the other person look good. Once you get the Gravitas Model in your bones, it really does help every kind of conversation, whether that's spoken or written.   Mo asks Linda Klein: What is your favorite science, step, or story from the GrowBIG Training or Snowball System? Linda never wants to be unprepared in her work, and the same is true in meeting with a client, which is why Dynamic Meeting Prep is Linda's favorite strategy. A potential client's business always has important area-specific language that they use that you should know. It's amazing how much companies have on their website and what you can learn by doing some research. Those insights are invaluable during a meeting, and preparing for a meeting pays dividends when you land the business because then you have a huge head start. Everybody prepares for delivery meetings but rarely do people prepare for the initial meeting. You can't prepare for the first meeting at a dinner before the meeting day. Research is crucial. Make preparation a priority and get the team strategy outlined ahead of time. Your team needs to show the client that they are seamless, working together and solving the client's problems. Figure out what your goal for the meeting is, what the frame for the meeting is and how to kick it off, what the big questions that might be asked, natural next steps, and potential cliffhangers you can use to get the next meeting. Being direct can be a challenge but being authentic about the fact that you want to simply be helpful is the best approach. Be ready to discuss what the client wants to discuss. The more prepared you are in advance, the easier it will be to switch gears and the more comfortable you will be.   Mo asks Andrew Robertson: What is your favorite science, step, or story from the GrowBIG Training or Snowball System?

John Tigh shares the business development lessons he learned in the trenches working with top-10 pharmaceutical companies and digital transformation. Learn why business development is a heart-centered sport and why empathy is key to connecting with someone, how to look for disturbances in the force that indicate where you can contribute the most value to people, and get a crash course on the most important growth-focused conversation framework there is.   Mo asks John Tigh: Tell me of the moment that you realized growth is great. Eleven years ago, John was bit by a radioactive statement of work and has since gained the superpower of bringing in business. Being a consultant is all about having one foot in the work and the other in finding the next gig. John considers himself a relationship person rather than a salesperson. The better you can cultivate relationships, the more likely it is that you will have a chance to be of service to those people in the future. Business development is a heart and people centered sport. For John, if he can be of service to someone, that really energizes him. In the first meeting, John is looking for disturbances in the force. John is on the lookout for something that the other person hesitates about or expresses disappointment in a particular area. Those are places to dig deeper. Mission, Vision, and Values should apply at all levels of the organization. At the top of the enterprise, within the work group, and at the level of the individual. Where the gaps are is where John can help the most so that's where he focuses his effort. John is looking for moments of clarity and polarization. Whether you're selling ideas, products, or services, asking how you might be able to get it done together gets buy-in and accelerates momentum. John is a collector of interesting people. You can't talk heart-centered without being empathetic, and you can't get into someone else's shoes without being curious about them. John believes in connecting others. By giving away information of value, he generates reciprocity in the future. John goes out of his way to connect awesome people with other awesome people because it makes everything about those relationships better. By connecting people, you can generate potentially dozens of interactions.   Mo asks John Tigh: What is your personal definition of business development? For John, business development begins and ends with acts of service. It's all about following up and finding ways to help people. The fastest way to build a relationship is to deliver value and not necessarily in a commercial fashion. By being useful and helpful to other people, there are often second, third, and fourth order connections that come as a result of that. John aims to put a pause in people's fight or flight response when they hear the word sales, and just focuses instead on being human. By asking what makes someone special and giving them space to answer, John is trying to help them identify where their T-shape uniqueness is and how he can broaden the conversation from there. People always have areas of commonality. The more John knows about what makes people unique and special, the more opportunity he has to connect them with other people that need their products, services, or talent. Whenever John finds one person that they believe should know another person, he goes out of his way to find them interesting people to connect with. He sends an email that he refers to as a gusher about what makes those people awesome and why they would be even greater if they knew each other. If you think of business development as acts of service, it's about learning what's important to the other person and that creates a great buying process by showing you're trustworthy and you care. The habit that John tries to cultivate everyday is around being uncomfortable. The practice of discomfort and stretching his personal and professional boundaries is what put him on the growth path he is on today.   Mo asks John Tigh: What is your favorite science, step, or strategy from the GrowBIG Training or the Snowball System?

During John's time working as a consultant while working for a top-10 pharmaceutical company. He had a chance to meet another top-10 pharmaceutical company and help them implement a new technology. John had a productive initial meeting but hadn't really heard from them for two years. Eventually, John was contacted to pick up the project after another consulting company dropped the ball. Disaster struck and the leader that was meant to guide the project left the company. John put his hand up to help them move the project forward as long as they were willing to trust the team to get things done. Over time, the team grew and John ran that project from the outside for three years and grew the business to the tune of multiple millions of dollars. All of that came from one initial meeting and building trust by offering some expertise and help with no strings attached. He was the one who wrote the strategy that transformed the business as well as the leader and operations person who helped make that happen. John's biggest achievement during that time was in overcoming his own inner critic. By learning about and practicing meditation each day, he learned how to get out of his own way. Having a moment at the start of each day to throw off the doubts and the worries and focus on doing what he can do has changed the rest of John's life. One of the biggest blessings of a high performing team that has your back and believes in you is that they can help you manage your own inner critic.   Mo asks John Tigh: If you could record a video for your younger self around business development, what would it say? John would start things off by telling his younger self to be quiet since he wasn't always the best listener. The other thing he would say is that everything is about growth. Everything is sales related, and it all has to be articulated to get any kind of traction. Listen first, and then find ways to be helpful. John looks for liminal spaces within conversations. He uses pauses to ask for invitations to speak because getting permission is a much more productive way to speak. There is an energy around change, so it's usually best to try to slow things down and build in pauses to reduce the tension. Pauses and asking for permission can also increase curiosity. In dealing with externalities, reacting is not always the most effective way forward. Stopping and saying, “that's interesting, tell me more” gives you space to respond instead. It's okay to ask someone to restate the question. Being vulnerable shows that you actually care about what's being said and what the other person is trying to communicate.     Mentioned in this Episode: GrowBIGPlaybook.com john@clevercognitive.com linkedin.com/in/johntigh clevercognitive.com
