From Hurling Fields to Boardrooms | Conor Whelan at Ireland’s Smallest Pub | Barstool Chat

In this episode of Barstool Chats, Garry Connolly squeezes into TJ Clark’s in Galway — one of Ireland’s smallest pubs — with Castle Group’s Conor Whelan for a chat that’s anything but small.

They dive into the tight-knit culture of Galway GAA, the life lessons learned from hurling, and the parallels between sport, business, and academic success. Conor shares his admiration for Roy Keane, his personal approach to motivation, and why focusing on process over outcome is the key to achieving meaningful goals — in sport and in life.

From hurleys on the pitch to habits in the workplace, this episode covers a lot of ground (despite the tight square footage).
