Life as a CEO | Philip Doran - EP 9

I've known Philip my entire life.

He is CEO of Hello Fresh Ireland and also my best and longest friend.

He came on the pod for a chat about his career and life. It was so much fun chatting to someone I know so well and being able to ask him questions that have been on my mind. We laughed a lot and I learned so much.

If you know Philip, you'll know he isn't on socials much - which I respect a lot - so a lot of this content is brand new to the world.

We talked about;

• The most important thing he thinks people should optimise for early in their career
• Why he moved to Ethiopia and how it changed him
• The number one skill it takes to get promoted quickly and land a job as a CEO
• All his thoughts about stress, how he performs in stressful situations and what he does to make sure it doesn't impact his life outside of work
• What it's like to work as a CEO (spoiler; it's not all corner offices and kissing babies)
• The questions he asks himself before every big decision
• How to not be reliant on your job as a source of happiness (even though he loves his job) and what you can do instead
• Even though I've known him all my life, I learned so much from this conversation and am sure you will too.
