Todays guest on this episode is Marcus Cowzer. Marcus will tell of his Mam and Dads breakup and moving from Dublin to Meath and his love of football and the journeys he made to Dublin to keep his dream of being a pro ball player alive. Marcus honestly shares his life’s journey from a young boy with a promising career as a professional football Norwich to the heart break of a back injury that put that dream to bed.
Doing his best to move on Marcus left school and worked in sales and marketing before meeting through football David Campbell of House of Colour. The two struck up a fantastic friendship that led to Marcus modeling in hair shows and loving the buzz of hairdressing took the plunge to become part of the team at HOC. Growing from a trainee to a stylist was a hard job for this mature young man, but once he got there he soon found his roll in hairdressing as a senior manager and his love of people led to his roll in HR in the company looking after the future talent of the company.
Marcus dads passing had a tough effect of him but unbeknown to him he was suffering mood swings and an uncomfortable time came about in his life. Marcus decided he needed to talk to someone to help understand his feelings and went for some therapy sessions. Through these sessions he got an understanding of what he was going through emotionally and started to be able to handle his emotions through meditation and group therapy.
Marcus really embraced what counseling had done for him, he began to wonder what he could do for others if he trained to be a psychotherapist and off he embarked on the hard work of four years of collage while maintaining a full time job. COVID arrived in 2020 and left Marcus out of work but able to continue his studies remotely. After two hard years of COVID and study he took himself off to Bali for 5 months to look deep into what he wanted from life and to look at people who have a little but are thankful for what they’ve got. On his return to Ireland he has entered his final year in college while working in landscape gardening to pay the bills until he can become a full time therapist.
Finally Marcus will tell us what he’d like the future to hold for him and his quest to help reduce the amount of young men who have suicidal tendencies by offering therapy as a way to overcome their depression.

Hi and welcome to our very first The Hair Dudes Real Life Story Interview's. These interviews have been inspired to take place by the amazing people we have met through our lives behind the chair cutting hair. We want to share our guest's wonderful, exciting, extraordinary and sometimes strange life's, we are privileged in our positions as hair stylist's to get to know our guests like no other profession. As we are doing our jobs we have plenty of time to listen to our guests and gain their trust to not only look after their hair but to welcome us into their life's by sharing their stories with us. Tonights guest is Caroline O'Leary as a salon guest of Greg's for over 25 years. Caroline was born a CODA, most of us wouldn't have know what CODA meant up until recently, but since the success of the Hollywood movie of the same name it has given us a idea into the world of deaf parents and their CODA's Children Of Deaf Adults. Caroline shares her amazing upbringing that was strange to people in the non deaf world but was normal to her. How does a child let her deaf parents know when something is not ok when they can't hear them. How noise was a constant in her life as loud music, TV, drilling etc had no volume control to her Mam & Dad. Caroline shares the challenges and triumphs she had in her life as a result of having amazing, but deaf parents and how it helped her with her own children. Caroline's vast experience with the deaf community has lead to her having an amazing career as one of Irelands hearing sign language interpreter's. Interpreting at Theater's, TV, Political event's, Police Station's & Government event's such as the President of Ireland's Inauguration. You will at the end of this interview have a better understanding of the deaf community and their coda families and how you might interact with deaf people in the future and the importance of sign language for us all not just the deaf. As Caroline points out in the interview a deaf person can do and achieve anything a hearing person can except hear.

When I gave some Podcasting facts to my fellow Hair dudes before we launched our podcast. I mentioned the average amount of podcasts a podcast reaches before giving up was 7, so I said Dudes we have to get to at least 8 and hear we are at our little milestone Episode 8 and there ain't no stopping us now roll on Episode 80 lol. In this episode Sean gives us his ringside view of the amazing Tyson fury v Dillion Whyte World Heavyweight Boxing fight in front of 94,000 fans at Wembley Stadium. Mark puts his view on the top v bottom of the merseyside derby as Liverpool move one step closer to victory and Everton move one step closer to disaster. I the low's of a Man U fan and the excitement of yet another new manager to arrive. We have a little overview of what we feel is happening in the Hair industry and we chat about is it worth the hassle of flying out on a city break or is it less stressful to just take a trip at home and some more chat in between.I hope you enjoy some time with the Hair Dudes as much as we enjoy recording these conversations together and if you do please don't forget to subscribe, share, 5 star review and comment to help grow our community.
