E26 Ruairi McKiernan on Travelling, Fear, Mindfulness, & Embracing Uncertainty.

In episode 26 it was my pleasure to sit down with Ruairi McKiernan. Ruairi is a social innovator, leader, writer, speaker, and member of Ireland's Council of State.

During our conversation we discussed the following topics;

• What it was like growing up near the Northern Irish border in the 1980s.
• The benefits of trying to live a fearless life.
• Ruairi's involvement with creating Ireland's biggest youth website, SpunOut.
• Burnout and disillusion.
• Meditatiopn and mindfulness.
• The benefits of travelling, both at home and abroad.
• Hitch-hiking and relying on the kindness of strangers.
• Leadership and vision.
• Ruairi reluctantly mentions that he hopes to finish a book soon!

There were loads of thing mentioned by Ruairi throughout the podcast, all of which will be included in the episode notes over at inspirelandpodcast.com.

Enjoy the episode, Dave.
