The Cutlery Club Conversations

In Conversation with Matt Phelan, co-founder of The Happiness Index
In this first ever episode of The Cutlery Club Conversations, I talk to the inspiring and ethical entrepreneur, Matt Phelan about his farming background, his love of tech, his inclusive attitude to leading and why he believes everyone should have a coach!
Matt had been my first guest speaker for the re-launch of The Cutlery Club Salons. It was a really intimate, candlelit evening, styled beautifully by Interior Designer, Maggie Greening following a Happiness theme, which was colourful and welcoming.
During our three course conversation, we discuss the need for tech discipline, looking after our mental fitness and showing vulnerability. Then we find out how he rates himself in the kitchen before wrapping things up with a food fight!
Matt has since published his first book, Freedom to be Happy, done his first Ted Talk and continues to inspire corporations and businesses to put their people's happiness first. You can connect with him on Linked In
I hope you enjoy listening in.
Notes.
This episode was recorded on my phone in Matt's work studio at the bottom of his garden. It was very experimental and always intended to be a learning curve. It was never going to be perfect, but that was ok. Matt is an incredible young man who encourages everyone to 'just do it' - so we did! And I hope you'll reserve a little judgement for this first-time attempt, and enjoy it, warts and all, for what it is.
