From Crumlin and Tallaght to the City of Brotherly Love, Irish Stew spins another
Philadelphia story, appropriately timed to America's Fourth of July celebration timed to the Declaration of Independence forged in Philadelphia 250 years ago.

Recorded in advance at the Irish American Business Chamber & Network's
Ambassador Awards Luncheon, cohost John Lee talks with John Cummins and Adele Farrell, who drew on their working-class Dublin to build business success and rewarding lives in America.

They tell of brutal Boston winters, tropical job sites in Puerto Rico, founding their
breakout company NEXA Enterprise Asset Management, successfully exiting from it, and founding their new business initiative, Cummins Business Ventures.

The pair underscore the importance of the Irish American Business Chamber and
Network in their success story, calling it the “missing piece” they wished they'd found on day one. They looked forward to the Chamber’s signature Ambassador Awards event every year, especially in 2023 when John and Adele received the IABCN’s prestigious Taoiseach Award.

The episode wraps with a heartfelt Seamus Plug. This October, in partnership with the IABCN, John and Adele are launching a fundraising gala benefiting The Autism Hub, a new Dublin-based charity providing assessments, therapies, and family support for autism services in Ireland, a cause that's become deeply personal for them both. Hosted by their Rise Above Fund and the IABCN, The Infinity Gala will be held on Oct 15 in Warrington, PA.

It’s a warm, genuine, and often inspiring Global Irish Nation Conversation about finding your tribe in Philadelphia, three thousand miles from home.
