From Dublin to Marbella to New York: A Month of Growth, Energy & New Horizons

Valencia: Trampolines and Waterslides

The month began with a long-overdue family holiday to Gandia, about an hour south of Valencia. We had an incredible time, trampolines, waterslides and even Disney-style talent shows. By slowing down, I actually sped up. That step back gave me more clarity and direction in business than I’ve had in a long time… and the best part is that it came when I wasn’t even trying to think about it.

Some people are just not cut out for life on the road :)

Dublin: Irish Arab Business Summit

The Arab-Irish Business Summit 2025 at the Mansion House, Dublin, highlighted what feels like a golden era of opportunity for Irish businesses in the Arab world. From food and drink to fintech, engineering to logistics, it was inspiring to hear story after story of Irish innovation thriving in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and beyond — made possible thanks to the support of Enterprise Ireland, Bord Bia – The Irish Food Board, and the Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce for opening those doors.

Marbella: Mindset at the TNT Retreat

Next stop — Marbella for the Dynamite Lifestyle TNT Retreat. This was my third year in a row and each year it just gets better. Great to see familiar faces, but also new ones — some of the top business owners from around the world. The energy, the conversations, the breakthroughs… it’s always inspiring.

Kim Calvert as always, reminded us of the truth, your thoughts create your reality.

New York: Work & Play

From Marbella, it was a quick turnaround into New York for a photoshoot with Inform Fitness and Adam Zickerman. Annette Burke and Sean of 4Ever Photos and Purple Box NI flew out to capture photo and video for our new New York Client Adam at Inform Fitness (launching next week).

It wasn’t all work — we made time for some fun!!

⚾ Yankee Stadium to watch Yankees & Baltimore Orioles and a Broadway show — Waiting for Godot starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter. An incredible balance of business and experiences.

Now I’m back on home soil, grounded and ready to go all-in for Q4. We’ve got some exciting projects lined up and plenty of opportunities to finish the year strong.

AND... next month, we’re shortlisted for two Belfast Chamber Awards. The same awards we came Highly Commended for. So, this year… we’re bringing a bag. A big bag. 🏆
