Guest: El PacoIn this episode of the Joe Irish & Shirin Podcast, the guys are joined by the one and only El Paco for a proper rollercoaster of a conversation - packed with laughs, madness, brutally honest stories and some seriously powerful moments.From growing up in Darndale and experiencing violence and discrimination from a young age, to finding boxing, discovering his passion for media and entertainment, and ultimately deciding to chase something bigger - El Paco opens up about the experiences that shaped him.The lads get into Traveller culture, community, discrimination, family, grief and the importance of standing together - including the heartbreaking story of El Paco losing his mother and how that loss became the fuel behind his determination to achieve greatness.And then there's Finesse Game Promotions - why El Paco decided to walk away from a comfortable job, follow his passion and create a promotion where the fighters come first.There's serious emotion, plenty of devilment, some very dark humour and a whole lot of honesty.This is one you won't want to miss.[00:00] — Welcome to the Joe Irish & Shirin Podcast!
