In this episode of The Runs Club Podcast, I sit down with Jack Cullinan, founder of The Small Town Project — a growing fitness and community movement bringing training and connection to rural Ireland.

What started as simple group workouts has evolved into something much bigger.

We talk about:

• Why fitness is only the starting point
• How community drives real transformation
• The biggest mistakes people make when starting from zero
• Building confidence through small, consistent wins
• Breaking limiting beliefs and “small town mentality”
• Finding your purpose and using it to drive your life forward

This episode also takes a deeper turn into personal adversity, mindset, and the importance of finding your why — especially when life gets difficult.

If you’re struggling to get started, feeling stuck, or searching for direction, this conversation will give you a new perspective.

Key message:
It’s not about where you start.
It’s about deciding to take the first step.

Follow the podcast for weekly conversations on:
fitness, running, mindset, resilience, and personal growth.

If you found value in this episode, share it with someone who needs to hear it.
