The Identity That Built My Success Couldn’t Take Me Further | Steve Sidd

Gavin LawlessGUEST
Because, you know, uh, it just, you, you, when you, when you're young and impulsive, you, you make decisions quicker tha- than when you, you know, get, get on to be a bit more mature, where you, where you can get more perspective.

Gavin LawlessGUEST
And so, but just, I would say to myself, in everything in life, you, you have to be patient.

Gavin LawlessGUEST
And, and I'd say the other thing is, and one thing I've really come to appreciate much more over the last probably five, 10, 15 years, is you can't control time and timing.

Gavin LawlessGUEST
And obviously, you never plan to set a record on any particular day you go out and play sport.

Gavin LawlessGUEST

Gavin LawlessGUEST
Uh, well, no, and I think it's c- highly ironic that me, as a male, and Lorcan, as a male, are on, commenting on, on an issue which relates to women.

Gavin LawlessGUEST
Um, so is there an issue in terms of, uh, how the built environment relates to various different groupings within society? No doubt there is.

Gavin LawlessGUEST
Um, and do we need to make sure there's better balance in the design of the structures in the public realm? Absolutely.

Ciara KellyHOST
But, but the wider points, I suppose, Gavin, about, that do we design our housing with a, uh, with an eye on, on what is necessary for people with d- disabilities or for women, et cetera? Do we actually even consider those things? I- is he right that we don't consider them enough?
