#143-Terry-Doherty-Blog-Photo.jpg

Terry Doherty is a postal worker, music-lover and storyteller from Larne, Northern Ireland. 

In this easy-listening episode, he shares a treasure trove of stories he's been collecting across his life, career and hobbies.  

Some of these stories include:

  • Witnessing armed robberies in the post office

  • Hanging out with bands in rural Ireland

  • Sneaking into Icelandic Museums

  • And walking his daughter through Leukemia. 

With insights into how the post-industry has changed over the years, the importance of responsibility and what 'real success' looks like, this is a very special episode with plenty of gems to walk away with. 

I personally found this episode incredibly moving and have already listened back to it a second time — something that in 130+ episodes, I rarely do. 

Check it out.
