Ep 1. Stewart Kenny: From bookmaker to psychotherapist
In this episode of A Pivotal Moment, host Mark Cahalane talks with Stewart Kenny, one of the founders of Paddy Power, a bookmaker known for its cheeky and irreverent brand. However, what many may not know about Kenny is that he is now a psychotherapist and coach, with ADHD playing a central role in his work. Stewart grew up in a family that valued social justice, which stuck with him throughout his life. In this conversation, he shares how he transitioned from being the son of a devout Methodist and Supreme Court Justice to founding one of the biggest bookmakers in Ireland, going on to be Chief Executive of the public company and giving it up at 50.

A Pivotal Moment
A podcast series from Martello Leadership discussing the extraordinary decisions ordinary people have made to change their lives, careers or direction despite the risks. Some people push those nagging feelings that they're doing the wrong thing to the back of their mind and have an ongoing inner debate for years. Others, in spite of what can be paralysing fear, make a pivotal decision to change direction often risking everything. What do you do when your inner voice is telling you to make a change or jump? Martello Leadership works with clients asking this question personally or in their organisation as businesses leaders looking at driving systemic change. Learn more at: martelloleadership.com
