VIDEO: Dublin footballer Philly McMahon on “a rising that could save people’s lives”

Tony Cuddihy

Philly McMahon and his design for life.

Philly spoke candidly at last week’s #JOElive event in Dublin, talking about the struggles in his personal life and how he managed to overcome the odds to become an All-Ireland winner and start a number of businesses.

The tenacious Dublin footballer is known for his battling spirit on the pitch, having won three All-Irelands at the age of just 28, but he takes that into his personal life as he talks about “a rising that could save people’s lives.”
