Today I was joined by the great Brian Pennie. He's someone who overcame nearly 20 years of heroin addiction to become a neuroscience lecturer in Trinity College, a published author releasing his book Bonus Time, an advocate for mental health as well as a Radio Presenter. He's one of my biggest inspirations.

#65 Brian Pennie - Change Is Always Possible

A few years ago, I hit rock bottom—drinking to escape and struggling with my mental health. A final cry for help led me to a new way of life. Now, 12 years sober at 34, I host an award-winning podcast sharing powerful conversations with incredible people. We dive into the sober tools that heal and connect us—nature, hiking, sea swimming, and the outdoors. Real talk, real journeys.
