The Character Podcast
The Character Podcast, hosted by Dan Kelly, explores the real-life experiences that shape who we become.
Each episode features guests from across the education sector alongside inspirational voices — from Olympians and elite performers to Marines, leaders and changemakers. Through honest conversation, guests share how moments of challenge, adversity and growth have helped build their character.
Rooted in the core values of resilience, empathy and self-awareness, the podcast focuses on lived experiences — not polished success stories — and the lessons learned along the way.
