EP4: "I Live With a Tiger" - Al Hester (Maser)

If you want enlightened conversation, here's a supercharged dose of it! Performance coach John Belton (founder of No17 Personal Training) chats with his friend and business partner Al Hester (also known as artist Maser) about creativity, mind health, relationships and career... all of which form cornerstones of Al's incredible success story.

Al Hester is best known for his work as Maser, a contemporary artist who has grown to become a significant player both in Ireland and abroad. He recently created a 3D installation at The Contemporary Irish Art Centre in Los Angeles and an urban piece up the iconic steps to Wembley in London. Maser is known for his colour, his life-affirming slogans, his social conscience and now,Atelier Maser, the gallery and creative HQ. Al is an advocate for physical and mind health. He has recently founded The Dublin Boys Club; a nomadic men's group exploring healthy masculinity where men can learn to communicate better and grow into the most authentic versions of themselves.

John, Al and fitness trainer Adrienne Murphy are the founders of Flowstate, a movement to bring art and movement together, for inspiring, enriched living. Flowstate yoga mats feature Maser's artwork and sell-out on flowstate.ie. They are also stocked in Brown Thomas Dublin.
