The Podgecast by Padraig O' Connor

Episode notes

Work has changed — maybe forever. And it’s not just about Zoom calls or AI tools.

It’s about you — how you feel at work, what you value, and who you’re becoming through it all.

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Damien McCarthy, founder of HR Buddy Ltd, top HR talent recruiter, and an outspoken voice in shaping healthier, more human workplaces.

🔥 We unpack what it means to reclaim your power in a world that often asks you to shrink. 🔥 We talk about breaking out of people-pleasing patterns. 🔥 And how to redefine success on your terms.

💬 “You can outgrow your past—and that’s not betrayal, that’s growth.” – Damien

If you’ve ever questioned your career path, your boundaries, or your voice… this one’s for you.
