About this listen

Today’s guest is someone whose story is not only inspiring but also full of perspective.
At just 15, Jack Shannon sustained a spinal cord injury that changed the course of his life, but instead of letting it define him, he rebuilt himself through sport, advocacy, and community.


Jack has represented Ireland in wheelchair rugby, works as Advocacy and Peer Officer with Spinal Injuries Ireland, and is helping businesses become more accessible through his upcoming consultancy.

He’s living proof that the right mindset and a good laugh can take you anywhere.
