This week on Insight: The Stripped Back Podcast, we’re back in studio for the first episode of Season 7 with two brilliant guests.

The Overload Segment:

We’re joined by apprentice electrician and friend of the show Gerard Cullen, who steps up to take on our challenge wall before sticking around for a chat. Gerard tells us about his experience travelling to London as a finalist in the Screwfix UK & Ireland Apprentice of the Year competition, where he narrowly missed out on the top spot. We also dive into the role of social media, the good, the bad, and the ugly for tradespeople looking to grow their careers, and Gerard shares his story of overcoming a serious leg injury from martial arts.

Closing out the show:

Award-winning magician and escapologist Steve Spade joins us in studio to talk all things magic. Steve brings us back to where it all began, sharing how his father was a massive influence on his career path, nurturing his passion for performance and pushing him to chase his dreams. We also explore the ups and downs of touring, how performing across different stages shaped his act, and the tough impact COVID had on his career when live shows came to a standstill. For anyone watching on video, don’t miss Steve’s jaw-dropping live tricks right here in the studio.
