**Speaking Podcast**

The Speaking Podcast has evolved. What began as a show for speakers and coaches looking to start or sharpen their skills has grown into something broader and more relevant than ever — real conversations for real people navigating everyday life.

Each episode features genuine, unscripted conversations with guests who bring practical insight, inspiring stories, and ideas you can actually apply — whether you’re building a business, developing yourself, or simply looking for a fresh perspective on life.

No scripts. No question lists. Just honest conversation worth eavesdropping on.

Hosted by Roy Coughlan — DTM, podcaster, coach, and the Podfather — from Łódź, Poland. (Irish)

About My Guest:

Sean Tyler Foley (or STF as he's affectionately known) loves helping people find their voice so they can get their message out to the world. It is the focus of his book, "The Power to Speak Naked", and it’s what truly makes him feel alive. As a performer, speaker, and a general seeker of attention, he knows how hard it can be to get in front of an audience. Facilitating that, even in the smallest way for others, is what he was put on this earth to do.
STF is a husband, father, son, and performer, in that order. Some days he feels like he has dabbled in every industry on the planet, from oil and gas, to aviation, to film and television, but that diverse experience is what has made him so versatile!
Regardless of the industry or the titles he has held, what they all had in common was promoting and encouraging people to be heard and understood. The skills and resources he has garnered along the way have enabled him to become an entertaining professional speaker and a knowledgeable trainer, who aspires others to reach for their dreams.

What we Discussed:

- His speaking journey

- How to Organise a Keynote

- Breathwork for speaking

- How to get Energetic before speaking

About My Guest:

Steve had a successful 30 year career in information systems as a program developer, systems engineer, and product manager. He was also a business analyst for a Fortune 500 insurance company and held the title of Vice-President of Performance Measurement Systems for a healthcare information corporation.

In 2011 he forged a new path by launching his own entertainment business, performing magic and mentalism shows across the U.S., captivating audiences with psychological illusions. Through his study of magic and the psychology of illusions, he discovered how the subconscious mind invisibly affects human behaviour and decision making.

He explored the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and behavioural science to gain a deeper understanding of cognitive illusions: biases, heuristics (mental shortcuts), and other illogical and often irrational impulses that guide how we think, feel, and decide. What he discovered is that these insights have valuable applications in the domains of leadership, relationships, culture, communication, productivity, and creativity.

What we Discussed:

- Corporate I.T. Professional to Magician to Speaker

- Taking a big career risk

- Magic is a way to connect with people

About My Guest:

Eddy is the founder of Acting Up.

His passion and purpose is to help you find yours. And support you to achieve the success you are worthy and capable of.

He's been a professional actor, director and acting coach for over 25 years, appearing in everything from Hollywood blockbusters and state theatre company productions to cheesy commercials. Honing his craft led him to study with some of the world’s greatest actor trainers, which formed the foundation of his approach to acting.

He also spent over 10 years working as a sales professional and sales coach. Early in his sales career he realised that sales, like acting, requires a deep understanding of human behaviour. And success in both industries requires powerful, persuasive communication.

His rapid success attracted interest and he soon began coaching his peers on applying the techniques of stage and screen to presenting, pitching and effective goal-based communication.

What we Discussed:

- Mentorship

- Coming 2nd in a contest with 1

- Connecting with the Audience

- Preparing for Theatre

- Learning a Speech
