Hey there, Mind Full fam! Who’s ready for another enlightening episode of The Mind Full Podcast? Alright, alright hands down, please! It is officially week four of the podcast, and you know what makes four? Two and two…. The 2 Johnnies that is!
That’s right, in this week’s episode, I’m thrilled to have the dynamic duo, The 2 Johnnies, join me for a conversation that’s equal parts insightful and entertaining.

The Mind Full Podcast is the latest offering in comedian, broadcaster & best-selling author Dermot Whelan’s highly successful Mind Full adventure. The Mind Full Podcast is a home for people whose minds are…well, full! Dermot explores the topics that can help us to calm a frantic mind, understand our behaviour and explore our own potential.

To unlock the magic of connection this week, I am joined by Ireland’s favourite musicians, podcasters, comedians, authors, TV and radio stars – The 2 Johnnies. This talented duo never ceases to amaze me. From their humble beginnings publishing relatable Irish small-town life sketches and self-released music videos on social media, the pair have gone on to produce Ireland’s No.1 podcast, “The 2 Johnnies Podcast”, release not one or two but ten No.1 Irish singles, and gone international by bringing their live podcast shows to four continents around the world as well as producing multiple TV shows for RTÉ.
So many of us tend to see reaching out for help or opening up as a last resort, like it’s some sort of “break glass in case of emergency” situation. But it doesn’t have to be that way, and that’s exactly what we dive into in this episode.
Johnny B and Johnny Smacks are not just hilarious entertainers known for their wit, humour, and authenticity – they’re genuine, down-to-earth guys who bring a unique perspective to the table. From the highs and lows of male friendships to finding humour in life’s ups and downs, we cover it all. This episode is packed with laughter, wisdom, and a few surprises along the way.
But that’s not all – we’re also joined by Clinical Hypnotherapist and best-selling author, Fiona Brennan. Fiona sharing her wisdom and insight is the cherry on top. Together, we explore the art of self-connection and why it’s so damn important for our relationships with others.

Oh, they have also produced TV shows on RTE. Impressive, right? (although does anyone else feel very unproductive right now?).

Breaking the Stigma: Opening Up About Mental Health

This week, I am delighted to share this episode with you which takes you on the journey that I had on both my treks to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and to reach Mount Everest Base Camp – neither of which I could have done without being armed with the right supports, prep-work and people alongside me.
In this episode you will hear audio recordings that I recorded on both journeys. I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in spring 2004 and reached Mount Everest Base Camp just a few weeks ago.
Before I started on this whole journey, I wished that I could have listened to a podcast with someone with whom I could relate who could tell answer questions that I had such as:
-What’s the training like?
-What kind of gear do I need?
-What are the people like who take these trips?
-How fit do you need to be?
-What is altitude sickness like (and how do you avoid it?!).
Sit back, relax and enjoy as I take you on two of the most incredible journeys!
If you’re new to the series, why not take the time to go back and catch up on the wonderful interviews that you may have missed!
