Made Of More Podcast | Ep. 06

Today’s guest is someone who grew up shy, fearful, and lacking confidence. Alcohol became a way to feel brave. That confidence helped fuel success in business, and in the last number of years, Aaron Mccann has chosen sobriety. He now runs FAB Boxing, using boxing to support people in addiction recovery, and delivers an addiction awareness programme in one Dublin school, working directly with teenagers.

This conversation is about confidence, addiction, recovery, and what real strength actually looks like. What being Made Of More is all about.
