In this episode we are joined by Dr Damien Lowry, President elect of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI).  Damien guides us through a fascinating account of his love for the human mind from an early age.  While studying an undergraduate degree at Brown University in USA, Damien captained the mens track team, a significant honour at one of the most prestigious universities in the world. On returning to Ireland, Damien completed postgraduate training in Psychology at Trinity college Dublin and began his mission at the Mater Hospital. We discuss everything from his time working with HIV victims in Providence Rhode Island, being in some difficult situations in Mountjoy prison and the current topic of whether it is best to legalising cannabis. As always, where ever your ears meet this audio, I hope you enjoy it and like me, get inspired by Damien's story.  Until next time
