Going For It with Val Kehoe
Ep. 10 I somehow convinced my mother and brother do jump from 15,000ft over the Algarve on my birthday for Irish Cancer Society last week raising over €1,600 for the charity very close to our family. If you're able to donate, the fundraiser is live until 6th August and you'll find the donate link here
Episode 10 we hear from the amazing Val Kehoe, CEO, marketing and sales director and model including everything else for her sustainable vintage clothing company Ripe Vintage. I loved Val's story on turning her passion project into her full time job where she now works her own hours, in her location of choice and reports to herself.
Val gives great wisdom on setting up a successful passion project which includes working on yourself first, she says personal development was key to building her confidence and resilience, and hanging around supportive people instead of negative ones who will drain your energy was key to her mental strength. Val says to spend time and get to know what you want and then to listen to that positive voice in your head, you don't have to be in the same career forever but life is too short to stay in a job you don't even like. Take risks and believe in yourself! I'm very motivated after listening back on this podcast. Please as always leave and feedback good or bad and I hope you guys enjoy.
