Episode Synopsis
If you like the episode, I would love to hear from you. In this second part of my conversation with Andrew Irby — entrepreneur, father, and candidate for First Selectman in Thompson, Connecticut — we dive deep into what it truly means to lead, serve, and rebuild a community from the inside out.Andrew Irby opens up about his political campaign, his mission to bring accountability, communication, and unity back to local government, and how his experiences as a son, father, and businessman shaped the leader he’s becoming. From volunteering at Adult & Teen Challenge of Southern New England to mentoring foster youth and running multiple businesses, Andrew shares why he believes public service is more than politics — it’s a calling.We also talk about fatherhood, mental health, and the power of vulnerability — how showing your humanity doesn’t weaken leadership, it strengthens it. Andrew’s message to men, fathers, and community leaders is clear: stop waiting for permission to lead; start building the change you wish to see.#fatherhood #mensmentalhealth #coparenting #healingjourney #leadership #RisingAndThrivingPodcastGuest: Andrew Irbyhttps://www.instagram.com/andrewirbyforselectman/https://www.instagram.com/mr_irbysr/https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewirby/CHAPTERS------------------- 00:00 Intro 04:07 Building & Balancing Business with Family12:28 Transition Into Politics (Personal → Vision)32:24 Legacy & Mental Health40:47 Closing-------------------Follow me:Instagram: www.instagram.com/your_neighberhood_therapist/Tik Tok: www.tiktok.com/@urneighberhoodtherapistLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/yvesmukanya/Website: www.yvestmukanya.com
