#64 - Ramblin' Man w/ Will Meara

Will Meara has lived about ten lives—and he's not even 40 yet. You might know him as the co-founder of Bingo Loco, the man who turned a chaotic drinking game into a global phenomenon. But before the sold-out arenas, there was a different kind of chaos.In this first part of a sprawling, unforgettable conversation, Will sits down with his old friend Stephen to trace the arc of a life that refused to play it safe. They go back to the beginning—watching his car-salesman dad graft in Dublin, the student union days, and working the nightlife scene in Dublin thereafter. But then the story takes a turn. What followed was an 18-month journey that landed him in Pakistan with anti-Taliban vigilantes, couch-surfing in Iranian opium dens, and eventually on the front line against ISIS in Iraq. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation about restlessness, hospitality, the stories we're told about the world, and what happens when you stop reacting to life and start living it actively. Pull up a chair. This one's a journey.If you would like to support the podcast, please Buy us a Coffee, share the episode on social media or drop us a message to purchase one of our Coffee Tumblrs.Instagram: @soulbrewpodcastFacebook: @soulbrewpodcastTik Tok: @soulbrewpodcastX/ Twitter: @soulrewpodcastEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
