#143 Terry Doherty: Post-Man, Music-Lover, Storyteller
Terry Doherty is a postal worker, music-lover and storyteller from Larne, Northern Ireland.
In this easy-listening episode, he shares a treasure trove of stories he's been collecting across his life, career and hobbies.
Some of these stories include:
- Witnessing armed robberies in the post office
- Hanging out with bands in rural Ireland
- Sneaking into Icelandic Museums
- And walking his daughter through Leukemia.
With insights into how the post-industry has changed over the years, the importance of responsibility and what 'real success' looks like, this is a very special episode with plenty of gems to walk away with.
I personally found this episode incredibly moving and have already listened back to it a second time — something that in 130+ episodes, I rarely do.
