The Self Help Antidote
Transforming Struggle into Strength
Show Notes

Are you perceived flaws actually a superpower? Seamus Evans would say yes.  He believes that adversity can either be a setback or a gateway.

Seamus has been a stand up comic, radio and television personality, with quick wit and a passion for creating inclusivity through entertainment.   

During the outset of the pandemic Seamus like many others found his world turned upside down.  He was made redundant in a job he loved.  He took that time to soul search and ask himself two critically  important questions, "Who am I?" and "What do I absolutely love to do?"  

Once he got clear on the answer, he made a critical decision.  Seamus resolved to say yes only to the things he loved most.  A number of which he found in public speaking.  Once he made the decision that being a public speaker was the next phase of his career, he threw himself into it, making over 1000 calls, stopping at nothing until he became an ambassador for the Tourette syndrome Association of Australia (TSAA), entertaining, inspiring and educating  audiences full-time.  

In this episode we discuss:

  • How Tourette's (or any perceived flaw) can be a superpower
  • Channing nerves into excitement, creating high performance under pressure
  • Being comfortable in the unknown
  • Listening!  
  • Embracing failure
  • Why pursuing safety is the most dangerous choice you can make
  • Being selfishly selfless
  • How humor can be a tool for inclusivity
  • Saying yes to what you love

I loved this episode and I believe you will too.
