We could listen to Ruairí McKiernan speak for a full day.
You don't see many hitchhikers on the road nowadays, which makes Ruairí McKiernan's story about how thumbing lifts gave him an entirely new perspective on the world all the more interesting, and engaging.
Ruairí also speaks about setting up the SpunOut organisation, getting stressed out by the Dalai Lama, and the importance of listening, trust and how to come back from being completely burnt out.
Refusing to leave the country when many people were emigrating, Ruairí describes how hitchhiking and a listening tour of Ireland turned his life around.
Fascinating stuff.
