Navigating New York Sophie Colgan

Fáilte ar ais go Navigating New York! On this episode I chat to TikTok sensation  @Vivienne_in_nyc 

Vivienne is a new arrival to the Big Apple and her energy and enthusiasm is infectious! It is truly mind blowing to see what Vivienne has achieved in less than a year here - Vivienne is a brilliant example of what you can achieve with a little bit of self belief and, as she puts it, some "chancing of the arm"!

Even as someone almost a decade older, I draw so much inspiration from Vivienne - she is unapolegitcally authentic, and that authenticity has amassed her over 150,000 followers on TikTok!
Through social media, Vivienne is promoting the Irish Language and making Irish culture more accessible to an Irish American audience.  

If you are a newcomer to New York, or perhaps you are considering a new venture - you will get so much from this conversation! 

Thank you so much for listening!

In this episode of Navigating New York, I caught up with my friend Andrew Lynch. I met Andrew last year in New York, and ever since, I've been fascinated by his story. Andrew is the founder & CEO of Mason Alexander, a talent solutions company he started in Ireland that has expanded internationally, and more recently Andrew started a new business venture starting a company called Enable, a digital services company sourcing engineering teams for clients across the globe.
Beyond his impressive resume, what is really striking about Andrew is his relentless drive for progress, not perfection. In our chat, he is honest about the highs and lows of growing in business and why he's all in on what he does. I really enjoy Andrews energy and honesty - and its clear why he is a successful team leader. I hope you are as inspired by Andrews message as I am!

Alan from County Cavan in Ireland has played at the top level in Gaelic Football and  in his early twenties Alan spoke out publicly about his battle with depression. His book “The Best is Yet to Come” gives a rare glimpse into the complex inner world of depression as well as guidance to those seeking solutions and inspiration for families and friends supporting loved ones.
Alan went on to become the founder of Real Talks, which  is all about developing the mental skills to live a happier, healthier and more successful life. Alan works with sports teams, individuals and businesses around the world and through one to one coaching and group masterclasses, Real Talks empowers resilience, performance, and well-being helping people to better prepare, perform and reflect.
Now based in New York, Alan and I connected last year and I am really intrigued by his experience and work around wellbeing and performance.

Back by popular demand! I was so thrilled to get to sit down and chat to one of my first ever guests on Navigating New York, Maurice Barron. Maurice spoke to me in February 2021 after what had been an extremely challenging year for he  and his wife Kandice as their baby girl, Ava, was diagnosed with a rare form of Kidney Cancer with an extremely low survival rate.
In our 1st episode, Maurice shared some of the darkest and most challenging moments they experienced during Ava’s treatment. Maurice also spoke about how First Lady Jill Biden’s book helped him find moments of joy as often as he could.
 During this time, Maurice sent a letter to the President of the United States about the journey Ava was on, and how inspiring the Biden family had been for them during their darkest moments. What transpired from that letter is a story of hope and belief. I am so thrilled to report that Ava is healthy, happy and changing the world one day at a time! I hope you enjoy this inspiring conversation.

This Episode is kindly sponsored by Thérapie Clinic Europe's no.1 Med Spa and an Irish family business that have just moved to NYC and will be expanding with more locations in 2024.  With over 70 clinics in Europe  and currently a gorgeous home here in Manahattan on 19th street – the guys at Thérapie have kindly offered a complimentary underarm treatment to all of our listeners. Just mention the podcast when you get in touch. 
Thanks for listening!
