The lads break down one of their favourite books 'The Alchemist'. The book is a beautiful parable about a shepherd who is learning to listen to his heart, read the omens strewn along life's path and, above all, follow his dreams. Aidan and Stephen discuss how these lessons are relatable to their own lives and ask each other some tough questions as they cipher through the book.

Aidan's grandmother Mara Hunter, born in 1930, goes through the decades with Aidan discussing life in Ireland through World War II, the troubles in the north, and living without electricity until after she was married.

In this week's episode Aidan discusses his new business venture with Kibbon Coffee and he chats to Stephen about whether he is right or wrong to open a speciality coffee venue in the middle of rural Ireland. This leads into a discussion about life choices and how to know if they're right or wrong, or does it matter as long as you're happy and healthy in what you're doing.
