'The greatest selling point you have is to be different - to bring
something to the table no one else has'
As a child, John Brennan wasn't an obvious candidate for success. School
was a difficult, upsetting place and he was always at the bottom of the
class. His battle with dyslexia meant that he felt stigmatised by a
society that didn't understand him. Yet his determination to not be
defined by his dyslexia created an ambition that has been matched by his
business acumen.
Now in his mid-fifties, John's optimism is still flowing. It is a
measure of his character that, on being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma, the first thing he did was to buy a very uncared for
Dromquinna Manor on a waterfront estate on 46 acres of overgrown
grounds. Ten years later, in the midst of a world pandemic that saw
hotels closed all over the world, John again bought a new hotel.
This is a fascinating account of a man with the vision to create his own
life against the odds that will inspire people everywhere to find their
own way too.
