Description

Martina Tierney is the founder of Seating Matters and author of “The Stairway of My Life.”
In today’s episode, we talk about:

Why the stairs in her house are so special
Growing up as one of fourteen siblings
How a farming background prepared her for entrepreneurship
Becoming an Occupational Therapist
Why regular 9-5 hours didn’t suit her
The courage provided by her husband to “do her own thing”
How a garden shed turned into an international business
And the kindest thing someone’s ever done for her

With 180+ conversations featuring some of the incredible people who call this place home, our weekly show gives you the chance to get away from the clickbait and connect with the amazing things happening on your doorstep. Previous guests include NASA Scientists, Billion-Dollar CEOs, 91-year-old parkrunners, teenaged entrepreneurs, Oscar-winning directors, Olympic Gold medalists, Bitcoin Auctioneers, Tim Burton's puppet-maker and a guy who built an aeroplane in his garage. Well-known voices include Snow Patrol, Foy Vance, Julian Simmons, May McFettridge, Zoe Salmon, Andrew Trimble, The Dead Rabbit, Michael Deane, The Priests, Two Door Cinema Club, Oliver Jeffers, Pete Snodden, Colin Geddis, Mary Peters, Rebecca McKinney and May Blood — the millworker who became a peer in the House Of Lords. Best Of Belfast is an independent, crowdfunded show with no political or religious agenda. It's hosted by 26-year-old writer Matthew Thompson and publishes a new episode every single Monday!
