The Overload: Still Showing Up

10 Seasons. Still Showing Up.

Ten seasons in… and somehow, we’re still here.

In this special solo episode, Stephen takes a step back from the usual guest conversations to reflect on Season 10 and everything that has happened behind the scenes to keep The Stripped Back Podcast on the road.

2026 has been one hell of a year.

With Keith’s business, Energise Electrical, getting busier month by month, Stephen balancing life as a husband and dad of three, and taking on a promotion within Mitie that completely changed the structure of his working week, finding the time to keep the podcast moving hasn’t always been easy.

But that’s the thing about life.

You don’t always get more time.

Sometimes you just have to find a way.

Stephen talks about getting older, taking opportunities when they come along, balancing family and career with something you’re passionate about, and the importance of having the support of the people closest to you.

He also reflects on just how far The Stripped Back Podcast has come since two tradesmen from Balbriggan decided to give an idea a shot back in 2024.

Ten seasons later, the microphones are still on.

And we’re not finished yet.
