Today, I’ll be chatting with Ian Kinsella. Born and raised in Dublin, Ian spent some time in Australia before making the big decision to move to Toronto.
Myself and Ian are good friends so there’s no structure to the conversation, we just chat freely. We chat about his role in setting up a Canadian branch of the Irish recruiting firm Morgan McKinley, his struggles as a child in school in Rathgar, how sacred mornings are to Ian, how running acts as a therapy for him as well as Ian’s relationship with alcohol.
