Endurance and Ambition: Mick Clohisey's Olympic Work Ethic
Today, we're joined by a true Irish marathon running superstar, Mick Clohisey.This podcast is somewhat unique in that its our first face to face podcast in the new studio. I’m really happy with how this improved the flow of the conversation.Myself and Mick went to the same school and to watch as he matured from running the back fields to running on a world stage has been so inspiring.He's donned the iconic green jersey and represented our nation at the highest level, including the prestigious Rio 2016 Olympics.This is a story that echoes the dreams and aspirations of many athletes. All of us growing up dreamed of world championships and olympic games but Mick turned those dreams into achievements through hard work, talent, and vision.I think you'll love this conversation.
