Welcome to the first in a series of spotlight posts, aimed at introducing you to some of my favourite bloggers. People whose words I read on a regular basis and who provide a source of inspiration to me.
Today’s post is all about Niall Doherty from Disrupting the Rabblement. I stumbled across Niall’s blog around six months ago and immediately became a fan. When I was creating Life is Limitless, I got a lot of inspiration from reading Disrupting the Rabblement and when I was new on the blogging scene, Niall was kind enough to give me a great deal of helpful advice and feedback.
So when deciding to pick the subject of my first interview, Niall was top of the list. In this post you’ll find the video of the interview, notes on key points within the video and links to some of my favourite blog posts from Disrupting the Rabblement.
A good place to start
I strongly recommending heading over to Niall’s blog to get acquainted for yourself and below are links to some of my favourite posts. These posts all resonate with me a great deal and were really helpful to me at the time of first reading them.
- We’re not broken
- Embracing a fluid self concept
- Trucking through the downswings
- How to hitchhike 1,141 kilometres through two foreign countries
I’d recommend checking out the Random Acts of Courage series as mentioned in the interview and I also recommend having a read of Niall’s manifesto titled: ‘Disrupting the Rabblement: How to think for yourself, live your dreams, and piss off some zombies’
I’m signed up to Niall’s Course in Courage already and recommend it to anyone who wants to find the courage to do the things that fear currently prevents you from doing.

Thanks Ben!
Niall’s main premise of his site is ‘think for yourself’ and I find it quite a fascinating subject, that would scare many people! Too many people are following the flock in robotic fashion, while feeling miserable – yet repeating the same pattern. Madness.
DTR puts a finger in your face and gets you to drown out the voices and do what works best for you. Loved the interview

I’m with you there Anthony. “Think for yourself” is such a powerful message and I love the way Niall delivers it at Disrupting the Rabblement. I’m really glad you enjoyed the interview. I’ve just seen the title of your last post and plan to read it immediately!
