Welcome to the first episode of the 1% better podcast. In this short episode, I share a bit of information about where the idea for RoboftheGreen and the 1% better podcast came from, I provide a short overview of me (not self-indulgently I assure you), my interest in learning and podcasts, what to expect in upcoming shows, and how to get in touch with me.

1% Better

Introduction Show with Rob O'Donohue - Episode 01

Hi all & happy Friday\Weekend!!

In this new spin off/pilot show of the 1% Better Podcast, I’ve decided to hit the streets of cities I visit and ask the locals what their 1% Better tip or advice would be to make you, the listeners, at least 1% Better. Over the coming week/months, when I visit a new city, I hope to capture the responses from the local folks to see if there are common trends and patterns that emerge and have a lot of fun while doing it. 

In this first edition of the VoxPoP show, I hit the streets and the bars (mainly bars) of Nashville with my two good friends and co-hosts for the day, Cormac Breslin (credited with naming 'robofthegreen') and Stacey Knox (a natural with the mic).

Over the couple of days recording, we asked the good folks of Nashville what their one tip or piece of advice would be to the listeners that they could apply or take onboard to make themselves 1% Better. 

I’m hope you’ll enjoy this *fun* short episode of the show where we get a very good a mixture of advice from many happy people enjoying the sunshine, music and fun of Nashville. 

If you like this episode, please let me know as I have a lot more content from our on street interviews from Nashville that I could share in another short episode in the coming weeks.

I would like to thank Cormac and Stacey for their assistance and the folks in Nashville for being such good fun on the days. Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we did recording it.

Also, just a quick note to say I have a bunch of new 1-1 interviews coming up  with some really great guests that are taking the show to the next level for sure. Next one will be out on Monday. 

All the very best,
Rob (ofthegreen)

The 1% Better Nashville VoxPop - Ep 12

Oh yes, it's back by popular demand!!! The 1% Better VoxPop!!

After making its debut a couple of weeks ago, and (for the most part) being well received, it’s coming back for another airing (literally). This time round, we’re going full Project Management style with the show....and combining it with the 1% Better theme!! 

I recorded this show during the PMI Ireland National Conference at the Aviva Stadium on May 4th 2017. This was an action packed conference with a great selection of speakers and over 350 attendees. 

Project Management is something I think we all do in one way or another. We all plan a bit, take and manage risks, create To-Do lists and ultimately want to get value or benefits from what we do with our time & resources (sorry for all the PM lingo). So, to prove this, I asked a random selection of the guests a 1% Better question relating to Project Management!!

After much consideration and debate (with myself), the question I landed on asks to what one (or two things) do you (the guest) do from the world of Project Management that you bring into your day to day personal life that adds a little bit of value, organises the chaos and makes things 1% better! This was a bit of fun but it was interesting to hear the responses…some very similar and some quite different.

Overall it was a great day, lots of learnings from it and I was more than happy to do some 1% Better podcasting during the event for the PMI Ireland. As a member of the PMI-Ireland committee, I was playing a dual role but happy do so.
