Episode Notes

Bio Fionn Wright:

Fionn is named by City Weekend Magazine as one of the “11 Most Influential Movers & Shakers in Shanghai” – a city of 24 million - for the impact of his coaching & TV appearances.
He had a dream... but could he really make it a reality?
After working in Africa, Europe, North America, South America & Asia as a coach helping others in their businesses, career, and relationships he filmed an Internationally Award Winning Documentary on Chinese Business and was offered a chance to be a partner in a multimillion-dollar construction project but would have to give up his dream of starting a family & being a world renowned coach.
Seeing gaps in Shanghai’s traditional market for corporate training, children’s education and language learning, he founded & ran 3 innovative coaching companies, led a team to develop the first Holistic Wellness Programs in China, became the youngest NLP & Neuroscience Coach in the world & a Personality on Chinese National TV seen by 100+ MILLION PEOPLE.
He makes it his daily mission to transform into the best husband, father and human being he can be to help as many people as he can live a life they love. As Fionn always asks, "Are you closer to your dream today than you were yesterday?"
