Marrakesh Marathon fell through after months of training. So I ran 26.2 miles solo around Galway instead.

No crowds, no medal, no finish line - just laced up my shoes and ran.

Sometimes the hardest races are the ones you build yourself.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Today's show is an in person podcast with Peter Claffey.

Peter is a former professional rugby player turned actor.

He is the co-lead in the new HBO show, The Knight of The Seven Kingdoms (available on HBO and Sky Atlantic now)

On top of being a long term friend of mine and an incredible human being, Peter has such an inspirational story about following a passion and your path of curiosity, even if it looks crazy from the outside.

We go longer than normal in this episode as we cover everything from Peter's upbringings, the ups and downs of professional sport and getting cast as the lead in Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to identity, psychedelics and mental health.

A great conversation that you can also watch on YouTube.
