For our first interview, we decided to talk with John’s good friend Maeve Maguire. Maeve has the gift of gab and the conversation felt like friends out at the neighbourhood pub. Saddle up for a conversation that flows like your favorite beer tap.

Besides rowing the river Thames, playing college basketball, and completing the famed Insanity workout, Maeve talks to us about her greatest obstacle: entering politics with three young kids at home. This is Obstacle Course.
