Voices - Experiences
Young people share their personal experiences.
Recently, our good friend and SpunOut.ie founder Ruairí Mc Kiernan gave a TEDx talk which we think may resonate with you. Ruairí founded SpunOut at the age of 26 and was at the helm for 8 years. He then went on to become a member of the Council of State, an advisory body to the President of Ireland. In his talk he talks about feeling lost and not knowing what to do with his life, he also talks about hitch-hiking around Ireland asking people for their views on the country.
