your host
My name is Ryan O’Connor.
I’m on a quest to explore what “success” means and how individuals from different backgrounds go about achieving it. I believe that, rather than being defined by money and assets, success should relate instead to state of mind, freedom, meaningful connectivity and joy.

When not interviewing extraordinary individuals on The Stag Roar Podcast, I work as Practicing Optometrist with special interests in Behavioural Optometry, Sports Vision and Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery. My qualifications include BSc Anatomy (Neurology and Reproduction) and BOptom.
