The Man Behind the Mask with Ciaran Sheehan

Today is the Day Changemakers

What does it take to turn pain into purpose, and how can moments of unexpected connection completely transform your life?”

Join me and my special guest co-host, Scott Chesney, a renowned life coach and motivational speaker known as the “Commander in Change,” as we sit down with the incredibly talented actor and voice healer, Ciarán Sheehan. With over 1,000 performances as the Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera, Ciarán shares his remarkable journey, which began with a chance meeting at a train station that changed the trajectory of his life.

Born in Dublin, Ciarán spent his childhood moving between Ireland and the United States, navigating challenges that included betrayal by a trusted adult and enduring abuse. In this heartfelt conversation, he bravely recounts his experiences of resilience and healing, including surviving a near-fatal car accident.

Scott Chesney also shares a deeply personal moment—watching The Four Phantoms on PBS before bed and being moved to tears by Ciarán’s voice. Knowing Ciarán personally, Scott speaks about how not only his extraordinary talent but also his genuine heart continues to leave a lasting impact on him.

Sometimes, one story can inspire someone to take steps to reach their goals, have faith in their own potential, and move forward through any uncertainty.
