Do we find or choose ourselves?
This is episode is a bit different. I try to break down the term ‘to find yourself’ and whether or not it’s useful to think of the concept as finding yourself or if we actually choose the type of people we are. I won’t do these type of episodes very often but hopefully it’ll prove useful to some of you who are listening! Thanks, Mark. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Cesar from Venezuela
Amazing conversation with Cesar. We talk about his home Country, Venezuela, his experience in Dublin and go into detail about how all of these things and places have shaped the person that he is today. It was an absolute pleasure to talk to him and I hope you all enjoy listening to it! We mention a documentary about U2 in which you can see some footage from Dublin in the 1980’s. The documentary is called Rattle and Hum. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rubina from India
“You use Dettol. India uses Dettol as well.” 😂 From India to Finland to Ireland and all in the name of pursuing cancer research! An absolute pleasure chatting to Rubina about her work, her experiences in Finland and of course her experiences here in Dublin. Getting to meet people who are helping to make the world a better place is always so motivating. I hope you feel the same after listening. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast.

Arina from lots of places! (Greece/Ukraine/Russia mostly)
“Nothing just magically happens, you have to make it happen.” Arina has a fascinating life story and one in which I think we can all learn a lot from. She was kind enough to share her life experiences with us and tell us about her time here in Dublin. And a great recommendation from Arina, go to Dalkey Island! Enjoy! Hosted on Acast.
