The Grounded Way Podcast

In this weeks episode we have the utmost pleasure of sitting down with a legend who is one of the most inspiring and wonderful souls on this planet, Stephen Flynn - co founder with his brother David of The Happy Pear in Greystones. Steve's passion for health and nutrition along with a sense of living the best life possible is contagious as we sit and chat to him about all topics that encompass health, wellbeing and the importance of a healthy lifestyle and the obstacles that come from modern day culture that make it more difficult and how we can learn to break through them. Steve shares with us his fascinating story about his early days of how a one way ticket to Canada led him to discovering a whole different world of food that ultimately gave him the fire and passion within to start the food revolution that The Happy Pear is today. We learn about the importance of consuming organic foods, the rise in heart disease and type 2 diabetes from the increased consumption of processed foods, how some foods can affect not just our body but our mental health and the world around us. The world of social media and modern day culture is discussed and how it has changed dramatically in the past ten years which leads us to the topic of how to be more present in life and how important it is to approach life with a positive and healthy mindset. These are only a few of the many topics discussed in the episode and we thoroughly enjoyed sharing space and laughter with the man himself, Stephen Flynn.

In this weeks episode we have the pleasure of sitting down with one of the local legends from Greystones, a man of his own, a joy filled, energy inspiring and absolutely hilarious gentleman who hails all the way from Punjab in India - Raj (Bruv) Singh. Raj enlightens us about his journey from India at a young age to Ireland and the experiences he has had since arriving to the Emerald Isle. Having found his home in Greystones after joining The Happy Pear in 2014 Raj quickly adopted the same lifestyle as the guys there and incorporates it into his daily routine which he speaks to us about, which includes early morning sea swims, stretches, meditation and breathwork. Raj has recently become a breath work facilitator and shares with us the importance of controlling our breath and how it is so over looked in everyday life. He has become an ambassador for nasal breathing and encourages everyone he meets on his path in life to adopt it into their lives. Raj speaks to us about listening and how we can learn so much from one another if we learn to silence our own voices first rather than always being ready to react. Anyone who meets Raj will know how full of life he is and he speaks to us on the need for people to have goals in life, both short and long term. We really enjoyed chatting to Raj and what a laugh it was for us. We hope you enjoy listening.

In this week's podcast episode, we dive into a captivating conversation reflecting on the stark contrasts between life in the past and the present. We share our nostalgic memories of our first mobile phones and explore the remarkable technological evolution since our childhood. We also discuss how pubs in Ireland have transformed—not just in atmosphere and environment, but also economically—becoming less of a hub for camaraderie. We reveal some of our favorite spots where you might find us unwinding and the reasons behind our visits. As we reminisce about our childhood, we highlight how different it is for today’s kids, who have technology at their fingertips and how many parents now rely on devices like iPhones to engage their children, often at the expense of meaningful interaction. Our conversation covers a wide array of topics, but one particularly noteworthy theme is the dating landscape. We reflect on how dating has shifted from lively dance halls to swiping on screens and paying for a shot at love. It was a delightful chat filled with laughter, and we hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did!

In this weeks episode we have the absolute pleasure of sitting down to chat with two legends who tour through the U.K and Ireland as a tribute band to one of the best rock and roll bands in the world - Oasis. Morning Glory sit down to share with us everything they love about Oasis and their mission they are on in becoming the best Oasis Tribute band in the world. Paul and Alfie aka Liam and Noel Gallagher share with us on how the band was formed and the bumps in the road they endured along the way while coming together to form Morning Glory - A tribute to Oasis. The two lads open up on their journey of starting their band, the experiences they have had, the drive and dedication they have for performing and delivering the best shows for Oasis fans and what it means as Oasis fans themselves to be able to share their love for the bands music. This was such a great laugh and a wonderful conversation about music and the industry itself and the changes that need to happen. As Oasis fans we all speak out on the controversy over the recent ticket fiasco that occurred with TicketMaster for the Oasis concerts happening in Ireland and the U.K next summer. If you are an Oasis fan then you will really enjoy catching Morning Glory performing in Wicklow Town on Friday October 4th at OSheas Corner at 8pm!
