#122 Emer Maguire: Science Communicator, Comedian, Broadcaster, Musician & Speech Therapist

Emer Maguire is a multi-talented comedic, musical, public-speaking, broadcasting, science communicating legend from Strabane, Northern Ireland.

 

She's given multiple TEDx Talks, won countless awards for her work in radio and has just come back from a sell-out run at the Edinborough Fringe festival.

 

Oh yeah, and she's also a fully qualified speech therapist #sidehustle

 

In today's episode we talk all about:

• How she overcame her fear of public speaking
• Why she grew to love science later in life
• The business-side of creativity
• And her favourite joke (omg plz listen to this bit)

 

Our conversation with Emer is super-fun and light-hearted yet jam-packed full of entrepreneurial wisdom.

 

(And plenty of Strabane-infused craic along the way).

 

Enjoy!
