The Conor Buckley Episode

53 minutes

Conor Buckley speaks to Jarlath about choosing a completely different path to the one pre-pandemic life had mapped out for him. His passion and commitment to leaving his mark on society by promoting equality and change comes as no surprise as the son of the Irish icon and ambassador for courage, Christine Buckley.

In March 2020 when the first lockdown hit Conor finally had time to think. This, combined with the birth of his son, forced him to make the decision to setup the Human Collective clothing brand and overhaul his life completely. In this moving and inspiring conversation Conor tells the powerful story of how he took on this daunting task and the inspiration that he takes from his mother every single day.
