S6E10: Vivienne Sayers O'Callaghan – Irish Instagram Influencer Conquers NYC with Irish Culture & Craic

Irish Stew Podcast

Vibrant Vivienne Sayers O'Callaghan is an Irish Gen Z entrepreneur, Irish language and culture advocate, and NYC social media influencer rapidly rising to the “top of the heap” as Frank Sinatra croons in “New York, New York.”
Viv mixes lively chronicles of her New York adventures with spoon-sized servings of the Irish language and Irish culture, a formula which has earned her almost 40K Instagram followers while her 153K TikTok followers have given her posts over 2.3M likes!
Originally from rural County Cork, Vivian tells of attending an Irish-language girls' boarding school, her foray into classical music conducting, how much she learned starting her own plant business, her inroads into the New York Irish scene, cultural adjustments she’s made as a young Irish woman in New York, and the surprising response her Irish language content is getting from jaded New Yorkers.
Her energy is infectious and once you catch the bug from listening to this lively episode, follow her antics and adventures on social media and enjoy the ride through Viv’s eyes!
