  • The Art of Success - Gretel Killeen
    Sep 4 2024

    In this captivating episode of The Quest for Success Podcast, we sit down with the multi-talented Gretel Killeen, an author, stand-up comedian, radio host, and artist with over 30 books to her name. Gretel opens up about her unique definition of success, which extends far beyond career achievements. For her, true success lies in the fulfilment of one’s potential, embracing values like kindness, fun, and love.

    Join us as we explore Gretel’s journey in the spotlight, where she reflects on the difference between public recognition and personal growth, revealing why she now values the latter more. We dive into the importance of confidence, both in creative and entrepreneurial paths, and the distinction between superficial and genuine confidence built through skill and perseverance.

    Gretel and the hosts also discuss the constant battle between artistic spirit and society’s emphasis on structure. They explore how personal, psychological, and societal boundaries can either nurture or suppress creativity, especially during life-changing events like COVID.

    Additionally, the conversation touches on entrepreneurship as a form of artistry, the sacrifices often made in pursuit of success, and how daily impact and kindness should be the legacy we strive for rather than waiting until the end of our careers.

    This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone on a creative, entrepreneurial, or personal growth journey.
