You have over 1/2 m followers on Insta!
How did this come about? Did it all
start with your YouTube channel?
The first thing I ever started out on was
Facebook actually! From there I moved
onto YouTube and then Instagram. I think
Instagram is an amazing platform and I use
it everyday, but you can get a much better
idea of what someone is actually like from
a video rather than just a picture, which
is why I think YouTube is so powerful; not
only for providing informative content, but
also for building a connection with your
audience. So, my largest following might
be on Instagram, but I really value my
YouTube channel as it is certainly not
easy to build up but it’s so rewarding.How long have you been training/ into
fitness and was it always your dream
to find fitness fame? How did you
become so successful?
I’m not sure I’d consider myself famous
or as a celebrity! I’m not an actor or
a rockstar, just a guy who loves fitness
and creating content.
In terms of success I’ve still got so far to go
and so much to achieve until I would consider
myself a success. It’s a good feeling though,
this mindset keeps me going. I’m happy when
I reach a goal or a milestone but I’m always
pushed to keep going and levelling up. Every time we speak to you you
seem to be travelling! Do you spend
your life on the beach?...
(Jealous much)
As much as I love Ireland, the weather
isn’t the best so I try to travel as much as
possible! I think good weather definitely
helps when you live an active lifestyle,
it also keeps content fresh and engaging.
People online don’t want to see you’re
always in the same place doing the same
thing, you have to keep it engaging. What are you working on at present?
Any secrets you can let us into?
I try not to speak about things until they’re
done, but there is another Raw Gym currently
being opened and I’m doing some more
writing! I’m always up to something and
sometimes I take on more than I can
handle, which is something I need to
be more wary of.What are your goals for the future?
Same as day one- I want to positively
impact as many people all over the world
as much as I possibly can. I think the best
way for me to do this is by helping people
to improve their fitness, mindset and
overall lifestyle, so that’s what I’ll continue
to do. It has been a goal of mine to get
on the cover of Muscle & Fitness ever
since I started lifting. I’m kind of in awe
right now even doing this interview.
So thank you!
