    In this episode, I’m joined by Daniel Harte, a proud Cavan man and Alpha Clan alum who recently smashed his very first Ironman. 🏊🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️ Daniel’s mindset is next level — a powerful mix of grit, belief, and raw determination.

    CraicPit 63: From Whitewater to the World’s Peaks — The Wild Journey of Irish Mountaineer Jam McManus

    In this episode, I’m joined by Jam McManus, an Irish mountaineer with a story like no other. While most lads were pushed into GAA, Jam’s mother had a different plan — she introduced him to whitewater kayaking, and that lit the spark for a life of adventure. 🌊➡️🏔️ That spark turned into a full-blown obsession with the outdoors, leading Jam to take on some of the world’s most challenging mountains — and in 2027, he plans to climb Mount Everest without oxygen. 😮 Even more inspiring, he’s turned his passion into his profession with his company Herage, which leads mountaineering expeditions across the globe — from Everest Base Camp to Mount Kilimanjaro and Machu Picchu (which I’ve got my eye on 👀). This was a cracking conversation with an absolute legend. 🎧 Link in bio to give it a listen! Instagram Earths Edge Discount Code: CraicPit (€200 discount)

    In this episode, I sat down with Emmet McKenna — a self-proclaimed party boy turned fitness guru with a powerful story of transformation. 🍻➡️💪 We got deep on the topic of discovering your true identity, especially when it feels like you’re following the wrong crowd because it’s the only crowd there is. Emmet opens up about seeking help through counselling and therapy, and the importance of men acknowledging their darker thoughts — without letting them take control. Emmet is an absolute champion of a man, and someone I truly look up to. This one’s real, honest, and filled with insight.

    This episode, I finally got to sit down with Gavin Meenan—someone I admire deeply, not just as a mentor, but as a brother in the mission of helping men navigate their struggles. 🙌 Gavin pulls no punches in this one, sharing his story of being involved in a tragic accident that claimed another person’s life, his battle with porn addiction, and the deep feelings of guilt and shame that came with it. 💔 He talks about the struggle of being a man in a world that often makes us feel like we’re not enough.
