Concussion was for a long time considered "just part of the game" of American Football. Then a string of tragic cases and the Will Smith movie “Concussion" changed the thinking of the community. Roger Wilson the former Ireland, Ulster and Barbarians player explains to Jarlath how the change is actually slower than you’d think. After his career ended Wilson set up a company aiming to address the root cause of concussions for players - poor tackling technique. Based in the football hotbed of Texas, Roger’s Tackle Smart company works with high-school, college and pros on adjusting their approach to, thinking towards and technique in tackling.
In this revealing conversation Roger speaks for the first time about the challenges he has faced from within the footballing establishment, the progress that’s been made and some truly shocking realities of the American approach to contact in the sport (31:00). Jarlath speaks to Roger about his own experiences of concussion within rugby (17:00), how he prepared for retirement when he knew it could be forced upon him at any moment and the nature of toxic masculinity in sport (47:00). Roger opens up about his friendship with Paddy Jackson, his feelings about the outcome of the case and how the game can change and learn from this dark episode. (Patreon Full Length Version Only).

From her incredible depiction of her anger with the world of medicine (47:00), dealing with grief (1:02:00) to the power of a supportive partner (Patreon Full Length Version Only) and much more, this is a truly enlightening conversation with one of Ireland's top literary talents.

How do you go from being a young boy living in the small Northern Irish town of Downpatrick to becoming the Chairman and CEO of one of the world's biggest brands? While in Dublin visiting EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, Neville Isdell sat down with Jarlath to tell us how he did just that by becoming the 12th CEO of Coca-Cola.
Neville explains how moving to South Africa at the age of 10 exposed him to the realities of apartheid (8:00), the challenges of understanding oneself (23:00) how every country has a period of which they should be ashamed - and Ireland is no exception (1:01:00)
From his very strange request to new employees (30:00) to the concept of hiring people on experience over qualifications (13:00), why he doesn't believe in career-path planning (25:00), his charity work to eradicate malaria by 2025 (Full Length Patreon Version Only) and much, much more, this is a truly fascinating conversation with an Irishman who made it to the top of the business world.
