Strawmax Stable Chat is back — and this time, Nicole puts EquiRatings co-founder Diarmuid Byrne in the hot seat.

From the life advice that’s shaped how he works and lives to the one skill he really wishes he had (hint: it involves music and weddings), Nicole puts him through his paces with some unexpected prompts.

This episode covers a bit of everything — thoughtful moments, surprising confessions, and the kind of honest, off-script honesty that makes Stable Chat what it is.

Plus, a big shoutout to Strawmax — not just for the dust-free bedding, but for backing the podcast from the start.

Highlights:

Dee’s most-used apps (and why Instagram gets the block) The best advice he’s never forgotten Secret skills he wishes he had — and where they’d come in handy Why supporting small equestrian podcasts matters more than ever

Guest: Diarmuid Byrne: Co-founder of EquiRatings and today’s surprise guest in the Stable Chat seat.
