   Unboxed with Daniel Wiffin

   Today on Unboxed, I’m joined by Daniel Wiffen. An Olympic gold and Bronze Medalist, two-time World Champion and four-time European Short Course Champion . One of the best swimmers in the world. But also someone building a life outside the pool — from almost at 100 thousand YouTube channel, to wanting Timothée Chalamet to play you in a movie. We talk about success, pressure, and the moments that matter just as much as medals — like being able to pay for his parents to travel and sit in the stands to watch him swim. This episode isn’t about race splits or times. It’s about identity, expectation, family, and what really changes — and what doesn’t — when you reach the very top. This is Daniel Wiffen, unboxed.” Make sure to Follow & Subscribe to Unboxed Podcast on your listening platform & Socials! #StayUnboxed

   Unboxed with Rhys McClenaghan

   In this episode of Unboxed, we sit down with Rhys McClenaghan — one of Ireland’s most consistent and successful athletes — to go beyond the medals and routines and explore the reality of performing at the highest level. Known worldwide for his dominance on the pommel horse, Rhys opens up about the pressure of expectation, the mental discipline required to deliver when it matters most, and what it means to carry national pride on a global stage. We talk about identity beyond sport, the sacrifices people don’t see, navigating setbacks, and the challenge of separating who you are from what you do. This conversation isn’t just about gymnastics — it’s about resilience, mindset, and the unseen cost of excellence. Whether you’re an athlete, a high performer, or someone trying to stay consistent under pressure, this episode offers a rare and honest insight into life behind elite sport. “This episode of Unboxed is brought to you by Red Bull Ireland, with the launch of their Zero Excuses campaign. Red Bull Zero Excuses is all about encouraging people to get up, stay active, and create a new fitness habit — no matter what that looks like for you. As part of the campaign, Red Bull is running a 21-day challenge, inviting participants to choose any activity and make it a regular practice using the Strava app. Whether that’s running, walking, gym sessions, cycling, or something completely your own — it’s about consistency, not perfection. By taking part, you’ll also have the chance to win prizes like HYROX tickets, gym memberships, and more. So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to start — this is it. Zero excuses. Just get moving.”
