Welcome to The Coaching Podcast! In this episode, I’m thrilled to have Dermot Butterly, also known as ‘The Celtic Coach,’ join me for an inspiring conversation about fearless creativity, accountability, and embracing the spirit within. Dermot has been coaching and teaching business-building for over a decade, helping coaches create paid clients by serving, not selling, and showing up to just try stuff.

We’ll explore the power of saying 'yes' to life’s greatest adventures, what it means to be inspired by disruption, and how to take courageous, creative action toward your goals. Plus, you’ll hear about Dermot’s journey from hosting a radio show to walking across America dressed as Gandhi - yes, you heard that right!

So, grab a cup of tea, lean in, and get ready to be inspired by the wisdom, wit, and boldness of the Celtic Coach.
