• The inside track on the ruthless world of elite athletics

  David Gillick is one of Ireland’s most successful athletes. He’s a track and field sprinter, a two time European champion and has set national records , some of which he still holds to this day. When it comes to successful and high profile people like David, we hear about the wins and the glamour, but we don’t hear about the other side of that life. The sacrifices you make for greatness , the eternal slog of training, constant threat of injuries, the financial and psychological impact of getting an injury. And in this episode of the Mario Rosenstock Podcast, David spills the beans on the realities of life as a world class athlete - the highs, the lows, and of course the behind the scenes stories. Check out David’s brilliant new book called The Race: The inside track on the ruthless world of elite athletics.Produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand

• In bed with Mattress Mick

  Michael Flynn, aka Mattress Mick, has a great story to tell – he’s a true entrepreneur at heart and thrives off the cut and thrust of business. He runs a very successful company now, but this wasn’t always the case - he has his fair share of very tough times, including when he had to sell his family home to pay his debts.In our chat Mick tells me about the highs and lows of his life in business, some of the hilarious guerilla marketing campaigns he has come up with, including of course where the whole idea of the character ‘Mattress Mick’ came from in the first place, the story of adopting his daughter from Russia, and loads more.Michael Flynn’s new book is called Bouncing Back: Memoirs of a Mattress Salesman.COMEDY - Mattress Mick is such a well-known guy that when I put it out there on my socials that he was coming in for a chat, the voicemails started to pour in from people like Matt Cooper and Ivan Yates, Michael D Higgins, and Miriam O’Callaghan.The Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand

• Getting mystical with Michael Harding

  I don’t think there’s really such a thing as a ‘normal’ conversation with Michael Harding, and I certainly had no intention of trying to have one in this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast. Michael is many things – a writer, a playwright, a podcaster, and a columnist - but he’s also one of the most captivating speakers you’ll have the pleasure of listening to. He has been up and he has been down and he has thought deeply about life and how to live it well, and he loves to share what he has learned, in case you might find it of use.So if you want to hear two grown men do down a whole lot of rabbit holes about amateur Buddhism, existentialism , love, loss, and the meaning of life – all with a good handful of great craic thrown in - then you’ve just hit play on the right podcast!Produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand
