Welcome to the MLN Podcast in which we explore the insights, experiences, opinions, tactics and habits of thought-leaders and world-class performers. I’m Kevin Kelly and in this episode I speak with Lara Morgan who is a best-selling business author and one of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs. Lara started her first company, at the age of 23. Seventeen years later, she sold her majority share (99%) for the sum of £20million. She now invests in companies to which she can add value and is invited to speak at business events around the world. Within this episode we discuss a wide range of topics from creativity and humour in selling, eating habits, to resilience, sources of inspiration, lessons in parenthood, even cycling around the world. We hope you enjoy.

In this episode I speak with one of the best-known and most admired figures in Irish Sport. He is the most successful manager in Tyrone GAA history having guided the county’s football team to All-Ireland success in 2003, 2005 and 2008. He is a best-selling author and, most importantly, he is my father-in-laws all time hero. It is of course Mickey Harte and within this conversation we delve into Mickey’s thinking on the essence of leadership, the discipline of choice, the constraints of ego as well as broader topics such as faith, character and even alcohol. I really enjoyed the chat and hopefully you enjoy the Mickey Harte episode of the MLN podcast.
