#26 What's Important To Mary Farrelly

Today's guest is founder of ‘The Dog Knows’ a coaching and support service which focuses on building lifelong relationship between people and their dogs.

When we can learn to communicate effectively with a sentient being like a dog then we can be pretty sure we have improved our ability to communicate with each other.

The Dog Knows sets out to enhance, encourage and build better relationships with our canine friends. The key to this is communication and when we understand the mind of the dog, it’s motivators, stressors, and communication style then we are ready to build an amazing bond with them based on trust, kindness and understanding.

James Dean

Hi, I’m James Dean — Life Coach, Podcast Host, and Curious Human.

I’m the host of What’s Important to You? — a podcast dedicated to real, reflective conversations that uncover the stories, values, and breakthroughs that shape how we live, lead, and grow.

With a background in corporate life, personal development, and endurance sports (including Ironman training with three Labradors in tow), I’m deeply passionate about helping people reconnect with what matters most.

Each week on the show, I sit down with remarkable guests — coaches, creatives, entrepreneurs, and change-makers — to explore questions like:
What drives you? What have you overcome? And what are you learning now?

It’s not just a podcast — it’s a space for growth, clarity, and meaningful connection.

Whether you’re in transition, looking for inspiration, or just love a good story with soul, you’re in the right place.
