In this episode, Sherin and Joe sit down with Jason Byrne — founder of Rise Above It and Ballymun Running Club — to talk about his powerful journey through addiction, recovery, and how he’s now helping others through fitness, mindset, and community work.
Jason opens up about his 16-year struggle with addiction, the moment that changed everything, and how he’s now inspiring people across Ireland to “rise above it” — literally and figuratively. There are plenty of laughs too, from stories of wild nights to jokes that close the episode with a smile.
