Podcast 06 is now live with Sean Noble. It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with Sean to chat about what drives him to be one of the best Hyrox Athletes in the world! Sean has wisdom beyond his years, a great outlook on life and a work capacity that is absolute world class.

Podcast 05 is now live with Aches. From spray cans to global galleries, Street artist Aches joins me to talk creativity under pressure, turning passion into purpose, and what it really takes to stand out in a crowded world.

Aches makes his work seem so simple and takes his success in his stride, it was great to chat all about everything from his early days right through to some of the massive projects he’s undertaking at the moment.

Podcast 04 is now live with Dr. Paddy Barrett. I’ll be honest — I was a bit nervous going into this one with him. We just about scratched the surface on a host of health related topics. Paddy has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to heart health, statins, and cardiovascular disease, and I’m already lining up a second episode to dive deeper.
