About

Welcome to "Mornings with Milligan"! Here, I share my early morning stories and the inspiration I draw from my life's experiences. This peaceful time, from 5 AM to 7:30 AM, offers me a chance to reflect while the rest of the world is still in slumber (and that’s perfectly fine for them!).

And more importantly how we can help one another navigate through today and showing people that your there for them !!!

Pick up the PHONE TODAY give your friend a call or a message it will make a difference to them.

Why early morning good question?

 I've had inspirations come from a diverse array of sources, but none have impacted me more than Zig Ziglar and his son Tom, along with Robin Sharma, Bob Beaudine, and Hal Elrod with his Miracle Morning concept. From these influences, I've developed my own distinctive approach that truly resonates with me for my early mornings.

Who is Milligan and why Milligan

Its me Mark O’Brien 

I’m a youthful energetic 60 something year old with a wide life and work experience from Retail Financial Services, Sports Tours and Event management, Fundraising, Coaching and Mentoring and Voluntary Work as a Trustee and Governor and Schools Sports coaching and have previously lived and worked abroad as an Ex Pat for nearly 20 years but in the UK for the last 10.

My passion and drive is my family and community which led me to my current place and involvement today. 

When I’m not to involved with above and being an unpaid Uber driver for my kids and family I’m an early riser and you'll find down at the local lake for an early morning swim 🏊🏿🏊🏿 with my good friends the swans 🦢or walking in and around Thornes Park in Wakefield.

In short Milligan is a nickname I’ve carried for over 40 years now whilst at school I was known as Brio which is self explanatory from Mark O’Brien although my sister Bernie wasn’t to taken to be know as young  “ Brio “,  however when I was 15 or 16 I had my haircut short and spiky thought I was David Bowie and from that Spike Milligan was mentioned which was very quickly shortened to Milligan and even Millo to some of my closest friends and i'm still known as “ Milligan “ to the day

If my stories can bring a smile to a few faces, entertain, or help even one person dealing with mental health issues, then I’ve achieved one of my goals.

I hope you enjoy exploring the site! Please feel free to reach out and share your feedback, or even better, your early morning stories.
