  • Arbias from Kosovo - Being a child refugee, overcoming and living with hatred, reasons for hope.

    In today’s episode of the podcast I was joined by Arbias from Kosovo. I consider myself an extremely lucky guy to have been able to sit down with Arbias and listen to his story. He has experienced true hardship in his life but also demonstrated incredible grit and resilience.

  • Buddy from Sri Lanka - Following a dream career to Dublin, how he became a magician, the value of magic.

    In this episode I chat to Buddy who hails all the way from Sri Lanka. We talk about his life in Sri Lanka and how a dream career took him to Dublin. But I have to say, what I loved most about his story is about how he became a magician. Have a listen to how he found his mentor and how that mentor taught him all that he needed to know, it’s really inspiring! He finishes the chat by performing a trick which blew my mind, hopefully you’ll be able to appreciate it via this podcast.

  • Ahmed from Egypt - Situation in Palestine, modern day vs. ancient Egypt, the Arab Spring and how an Irishman started the Egyptian Revolution.

    This conversation is a recording of myself and Ahmed who is from Egypt. This is a longer than usual episode but we go in-depth into a number of different topics like some of the differences between modern day and ancient Egypt, the story of how he was shot during the Arab Spring, how an Irishman could be held responsible for starting the Egyptian revolution back in 1919 and we also discuss the horrific scenes currently taking place in Gaza. This episode takes a while to get going but trust me there is a lot in it, lots of laughs but some tears too.

  • Arny from Chile - Mapuche culture, working with Cirque du Soleil, settling in Dublin.

    In today’s episode, I had pleasure of sitting down with Arny, who hails all the way from Chile. Now, picture this: it's nearly a decade ago, and Arny is presented with a once-in-a-lifetime chance. He takes a leap of faith and joins the mesmerizing world of Cirque Du Soleil in Mexico, following his deepest passions.

    Our conversation today dives deep into the rich tapestry of Arny's life, starting with his Chilean roots and the profound influence of the Mapuche culture. We unravel his journey with Cirque Du Soleil, exploring the highs and lows of touring the globe with this legendary, performance troupe.

    And then, there's the unexpected twist in his story: how all these experiences, the travel, the shows, and the people he met along the way, eventually led him to put down roots in an entirely new place—Dublin.
