With restrictions being lifted allowing us to travel anywhere within our counties myself and the team have decided to take a break from the podcast. I’m planning on spending a lot more time in the hills over the next few weeks and months and I hope you are going to dust off your boots and get back there too! I really loved making the podcast and I plan on coming back with another season later in the year!

This week I had a chat with John Burke who summited Mount Everest back in 2017. 

 I wanted to get John on the podcast because he didn’t climb his first mountain until he was 28 and 10 years later he was standing on top of the World! He shares great stories from his Everest expedition including the Khumbu Icefall and his summit push.

 We also chat about his desire to make his business the Armada hotel a B-Corp and do his part for the environment and community in West Clare.

This week I chat to a good friend and Earth’s Edge Expedition Leader Aaron Byrne. 

 Aaron has led over 20 expeditions for Earth’s Edge and also has a lot of big mountain experience from mountains like Denali, Peak Lenin and Khan Tengri. I wanted to get Aaron on the podcast to share some of his big mountain experiences for those of you considering climbing bigger mountains. 

 We also chat about Kilimanjaro and he gives his top tips for anyone considering their first mountain!

Hey friends, thanks so much for tuning in to the first season of the Earth's Edge podcast. I've had an absolute blast chatting with the awesome people I've been lucky enough to meet and share a love for the outdoors with. 

This is also a very special announcement to let you guys know that we are now a certified B Corporation, which is something we've been working on for a while here at Earth's Edge. What's a B Corporation you ask? Don't worry, I'll explain over the coming weeks. 

We'll be back next week with a full-length interview and Episode 1 of Season 2, where I talk to Earth's Edge Medical Director and my dad, George McManus!
