In this episode of the Alchemy Podcast, I sit down with Conor Meyler, a 2021 All-Star Gaelic footballer who reached the absolute pinnacle of Ireland's most intense sport.

Conor’s journey is rooted in a culture where your social status is entirely decided by how good you are on the pitch - from winning historic championships with Omagh St Enda's, to sprinting out in front of 82,000 screaming fans on a Sunday.

We talk about the hidden cost of that obsession. Conor opens up about a period where his fixation on football became so all-consuming that he neglected family and friends, and tried to be someone he wasn't just to survive the pressure.

The conversation goes beyond football, though - it’s an honest look at what happens when you pour 100% of your energy into one basket. Now, six months into launching his company Veyo, Conor is channelling that elite athletic grit into the startup world, helping people master breathing and recovery.

This is a raw look at the cost of high-level performance, losing your identity in the pursuit of a dream, and figuring out who you are when the whistle blows.
