Paths is a podcast about unusual lives, often marked by dramatic change or a sense of living different lives simultaneously. It begins with an actor curiously seeking out the little-known stories of other actors who went on to do different things, such as becoming an astronomer, a CEO of a medical society or a director at Kickstarter. In the future it will encompass different kinds of stories. From all kinds of artists who went on to other professions to people who made the opposite journey becoming artists, then further still to all kinds of unusual life stories. Come with me as we see where this exploration leads. If you think you have a story like this yourself or know someone who does, please contact the podcast at pathspodcastpeople@gmail.com If you enjoy the podcast and would like to contribute to keep it running, you can do so at Patreon.com/pathspodcast Find us on twitter https://twitter.com/PathsPodcast

015 - Enda Gallery: Accountant to Musician & Producer (+ My Hitherto Unknown Relative)

A conversation about Enda’s life. This was an exciting one for me because Enda is both a perfect guest for this podcast - he initially set out on a career in accountancy but quickly realised that he should become a musician instead and is now really gathering steam in terms of public acclaim for his music - but also he is a relative of mine. We share a great great grandfather from Ennistymon in Co Clare. Before this interview we had literally never met or spoken before. You’ll hear more about our Gallery connection early in the interview and from there you’ll hear all about Enda’s genuinely inspiring story of leaving accountancy to study music, a bold move to Berlin to give it a crack in an exciting and artist-friendly city and much more about his trajectory since then including his thoughts on the fear people experience in trying to be creative, the effect of meditation on his life and how he set up his own music label.
