The Fight Within | Episode 4 with Dr. Fahmi Ismail

What people don’t always see when it comes to cancer… is the mental battle.

In this episode of The Fight Within, I sit down with Dr. Fahmi Ismail, psycho-oncologist and someone who has played a deeply personal role in my own journey.

This conversation goes beyond treatment and recovery. We explore the internal side of cancer, the fear, uncertainty, identity shifts, and the pressure to stay strong when everything feels uncertain.

Dr. Fahmi shares insight into what resilience really looks like, how hope evolves, and why mental support is just as important as physical care.

This isn’t just a professional conversation, it’s a personal one.

If you or someone you know is facing cancer, this episode will resonate.

What happens when life doesn’t go the way you planned?

In this episode of The Fight Within, I sit down with Karen Underwood — one of the most respected voices in Irish jazz and soul — for a conversation that goes far beyond music.

From growing up in Chicago to building a life in Cork, Karen’s journey is one of change, identity, and resilience. This isn’t just about her career on stage… it’s about the person behind it — the experiences that shape you, test you, and ultimately define you.

We talk about life taking unexpected turns, how relationships and identity evolve over time, and what it really means to keep going when things get tough.

There’s honesty in this conversation. There’s depth. And there’s also plenty of laughs along the way.

This is a real one.

The Fight Within | Episode 2 with Gary Stewart

What does leadership look like when you're carrying the weight of an entire sport?

In this episode of The Fight Within, I sit down with Gary Stewart, CEO of Boxing Ireland, a man operating at the sharp end of decision-making in one of Ireland’s most successful and deeply rooted sports.

We explore the internal side of leadership, pressure, responsibility, judgment, and the reality of making tough decisions when the stakes are high and opinions are everywhere. Gary shares his journey through Irish sport, from grassroots development to leading organisations, and what it takes to guide boxing through a pivotal period of change.

This conversation goes beyond sport. It’s about staying steady under pressure, leading with clarity, and managing the internal fight that comes with responsibility.
