Brendan O'Connor · Dr Richard Hogan on work: “I don’t think anyone on their death bed thinks ‘I should have worked more’” · 22 Aug 2026 podcast

And I say to any family around this time o of year, which is a rite of passage in Ireland, you know, to go through the leaving cert and figure out what you want to do.

There's so many avenues to what you want to do in life.

And I think in my own life, right, if I'm being honest, my leaving cert was

Grand.

It wouldn't have set off the fireworks going on and the you know, I wouldn't have set off my parents wouldn't have been jumping out the road, kinda going, He did so well.

Th it would have been fine, right?

Yeah.

When I went off into college and then when my grandmother fell and broke her hip, I took a bit of time out to help her convalesce and get better again.

And I remember sitting down at about twenty years of age, looking over the lee as the sun was coming up and thinking, What am I gonna do with my life here?

I've just kind of stopped college and I thought that was gonna be my career and I was in kind of like music college and I was thinking, Will that be my career?

And all of these uh things kinda were like playing my mind and it was kinda overwhelming at twenty years of age to kinda kinda who am I going to be? 'Cause our identity can get caught up in it so quickly.

And I just took a breath and said, All right, let's just go back and think what what um what might I like to do?

And I went back and did English and psychology.

I didn't really I had an interest in that, but I didn't know was that a passion or not?

And so our passion comes from getting competent at something sometimes.

It's not just the one big passion that you go into.

Sometimes your passion comes out of getting good at something.

Yeah

And then you become passionate about it 'cause you realise you've got value in that area and you start to really improve and get really good at it.

So to any family out there and any kid listen uh young adult listen to this today.
