"Its important sometimes to look back, although, you certainly don't want to live in the past" - Pat McAuley

Welcome to Episode 3 of The Sleepless Sessions, and for returning listeners, welcome back!
On this podcast we explore the lives of those in pursuit of their passions, dreams, and living unconventional lifestyles.

On this episode, I sat down with Pat McAuley. He's a podcaster, triathlete, author, public speaker, and entrepreneur currently launching his new restaurant 'Plant Pub'. On this episode we discuss entrepreneurship, making the transition towards a vegan lifestyle, heath and wellness, the art of podcasting, and much more. This was an amazing experience and there will be a part two in the future.
