Seaniebee’s good friend and fellow adman joins the pod to chart his life story and share his learned wisdom. Living a Dublin childhood bereft of purpose, we learn how he built a strategy for his life initially through trial and error, yet based on deeply held instincts that there was more to the journey out there than the traditional avenues we are pushed down in our teenage years. His career moved from training as a tradesman, through social care, emigrating to the UK to study psychology and eventually falling into the ad business, where he has steadily risen through the ranks to become one of the best communication strategists in the world.
Now over ten years sober, Gordon candidly takes us through his descent into alcoholism, chaos, darkness and loneliness and his emergence out the other side.
Our podcast then takes an abrupt turn into full-on love story, as he moves to New York and meets and marries the girl of his dreams. His tale is one of recognizing and grasping pivotal light-bulb moments, whilst at the same time embracing the importance of luck and serendipity as we plot our way through all this world can throw at us.
