Best of luck to New York GAA in their Senior Championship match against Mayo GAA tomorrow here in NYC! 🗽

Shoutout to The New York Senior Manager Alan O’Mara who was a recent guest on the Podcast and has no doubt done a fantastic job as a manager for the team.

It is a special day for the Irish American Community in New York and Gaelic Park in the Bronx draws a sell out crowd to support this championship fixture each year!

The Mayo supporters travel to NY in their droves to join the Mayo Expats in NYC which makes for an incredible atmosphere!

Best of luck to the NY team, management, volunteers and everyone involved in this great occasion 👏

*Support Summer J1 Visa's*

If you are hiring, or are interested in hiring Summer support - there are plenty of eager Irish J1 students prepping for their exciting Summer experience in NYC (and across America!)

The Irish students who are set to come to the US for Summer work need to secure a job before arriving which is of course challenging without some help on the ground here. Connecting with potential candidates is easy. The info below has been gathered from various visa websites including

Recorded what I feel is a really special episode today with these two Irish Icons! I admire them both so much, not just because they are HILARIOUS, but because they use their voices and platforms so bravely, to stand up for what is right. I can’t wait to release this episode next week and hear what you all think, especially on an idea we discuss 💚🇵🇸

Also, Maeve gave us these beautiful scarves made by women artisans in a refugee camp in Beirut 🫶… now I officially feel like I’ve made it into her inner circle 🤣

New Episode out Now 🎙️🗽

So great to have Andrew Lynch as a recent guest! Andrew is Founder & CEO of 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 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. This one is particularly insightful if you’re starting a new venture!

Let me know if you listen what you think in the comments 🗽

What a fantastic launch event for the Graduate Gateway! And what a pleasure to MC & moderate a panel of dynamic, accomplished Irish professionals who are paying it forward by inspiring, advising and supporting the new wave of Irish talent in NYC! So great meeting and chatting to so many new and past J1’s (🎥 incoming 🤩)

Very excited about the strong start and ongoing potential of this initiative. As a J1 Graduate 9 years ago, it is really important to me to support new Irish graduates as they navigate New York, and it feels incredible to be connected with so many great organisations and advocates in NYC (and beyond!) that share this goal. I have always felt strongly supported by the Irish I have encountered on my own professional journey in the US and feel honored to be able to carry on that tradition. 💚

Thank you to everyone that made last night possible, especially our panelists for giving us such an engaging, helpful and genuine conversation 👏

Looking forward to seeing the grow and the collaberations and projects ahead - and ultimately, seeing more J1’s successfully navigate New York!

If you are a J1 Grad and would like to have your profile promoted check out the Navigating New York LinkedIn page (link in bio) & if you are an employer or professional who would like to engage with a J1, have a look there also! 🗽

🎙️🗽New NNY episode with Alan O’Mara out now!

A pleasure to sit down with Founder of Real Talks, Author of ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’, Host of ‘The Players Voice’ & ‘Real Talks’ Podcasts and the New York GAA Mens Football Manager for 2024.

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. Now based in , Alan and I connected last year and I am so intrigued by his experience and work around wellbeing and performance. In our chat, Alan and I discuss his own journey, his book, his career and life in New York as well as recently being appointed as the New York GAA Senior Football Manager for 2024.

I thoroughly enjoyed our chat, Alan has some really accessible tips for managing emotions and mindset & the work he does is brilliant. I usually keep episodes to about 40 minutes but Alan’s wealth of knowledge needed the full hour 👏

Continuously amazed by the Irish in NYC! ☘️
