Description

Incredibly excited to announce a new mini-series we're launching in collaboration with Northern Irish Connections where we’ll be sharing the story of six extraordinary people from NI doing exceptional things overseas.   In this quick intro episode, we caught up with Invest NI's Anne Beggs to chat about:   How many Northern Irish people are living outside of NI? Why it's so important to connect them? What we can learn from them? And some of the amazing things these people have been able to achieve.   Northern Irish Connections is Invest NI's Diaspora Outreach Program.   Find out information about moving back home, and discover amazing diaspora stories by signing up to their free monthly newsletter at https://www.niconnections.com/   //   Webpage for this episode: https://bestofbelfast.org/stories/anne-beggs-ni-connections   Best Of Belfast is Northern Ireland's #1 Interview Podcast. We've shared 100+ hour-long conversations with incredible people from Northern Ireland.   To find out more, or join 'The Producers Club' please visit https://bestofbelfast.org/   Cheers!   — Matt
