I have something very different from my usual offerings for you on this Episode. There’s lots to learn from today’s smart guest, for sure, but there’s also poetry and music to enjoy! And yes, I may be getting a little teary-eyed…

This Episode welcomes Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, an Irish poet, musician, ethnomusicologist, and many other things.
This is exactly why I wanted to interview him because he is such a great example of how you can do many different things with your smart mind.
Mícheál comes from an Irish family steeped in traditional music and academia. He studied music at University College Cork and got an MA in Ethnomusicology, before becoming a freelance music educator with a specialisation in rap and human beatboxing.
He’s performed all over the world with his brother in their acoustic pop duo ‘Size2shoes’ - but decided that he wanted a deeper way of engaging with music and poetry, diving into the traditions passed down to him by his parents, both icons of Irish Traditional Culture.
Thus began his journey as a speaker, guide and poet - and he published his first book of poetry EARLY MUSIC in 20020.
This isn’t even half of it - and during our conversation, we dive into many more topics and fields he engages in like art, nature, and sacred sites.
You’ll learn about the significance of finding your voice, the value of apprenticeship and taking time for deep learning, the therapeutic nature of art and music, and the role of tradition and lineage in the arts.

I hope that this conversation will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the arts, and a renewed sense of inspiration to explore your own creative journeys.
Enjoy this beautiful session with Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin!
