Shared Struggle

Dia duit agus fáilte a chairde - hello and welcome friends  This week is episode 28! I had the privilege this week to speak with Deirdre Owens. We met on a virtual group chat and when I found out her story I had to ask to have her on. Thankfully Deirdre was kind enough to give me her time, even if she had a few scoops the night before haha.  It is a terrifying story of hardship, murder, grief and...

This week myself and my wife talk about our last week. So much revealed to us and so much undertaken. From diagnosis of OCD Disorder to road trip to New England. Trying to find long lost cousins on AncestryDNA and uncovering that I am the king of Cork with 99% DNA from that region! Boston trip was spectacular as we explain and Salem was like stepping in a time capsule. All explained here and some...

Fáilte a chairde  This week I’m joined by the wife for a “puck around” on the Jersey Sure. We try to recall a story we learned recently and if you are listening and not watching 90% of the facts are incorrect but the story is on the right track. If you are watching on YouTube I tried my best to correct the mistakes with on screen graphics and information.  The story though, is amazing and one that...

Very fitting to have the All Ireland champions, Limericks very own Graham G-train McCormack ! Well what can I say about Graham McCormack. .. First of all he is a man of many attributes. A loving father, a loving husband, a recovering addict and now The Celtic Boxing Champion. His story is one that very few can say they are living but through his connection to a higher power, his willingness to sta...

This week we have 3 time world champion Maui Thai fighter Ryan Sheehan. Ryan was born in the north side of Cork city where he still resides today. He works a full time job and is currently WBO World Champion. Something that if you put in the context of Katie Taylor (who is also WBO champ) having a full time job you would probably laugh at the thought of it.  Ryan is a very humble guy and very prof...

Oh where do I begin with this?… This is definitely in the top 10 most proudest things I’ve ever done! It might mean nothing to a normal interviewer but for me to speak with such an accomplished academic such as an Róisín álainn! (The beautiful Roisin) is a thing that I once wouldn’t have dreamt of as I would have felt totally inferior but today I see all people as equal just with different stories...
