035: Military to Mountain Adventures: John O’Brien of Little Big Adventures

In this episode of Strap Yer Boots, we sit down with John O’Brien— Irish military leader turned outdoor adventurer. With over 26 years of service, John’s career took him from managing complex investigations to leading multinational teams in challenging environments. 

In 2019, he founded Little Big Adventures Ireland, where he now shares his passion for the outdoors as a qualified Mountain Leader. We chat about the lessons the mountains can teach us, how military precision translates to the wild, and why adventure is for everyone.
