#135 Tony Carson: Entrepreneur & Investor

Tony Carson is an entrepreneur and investor from Belfast, Northern Ireland.   He's one of those guys who not only has a fascinating career, but also a remarkable personal story.   Growing up in the New Lodge area of North Belfast, Tony watched his father — the late, great comedian Frank Carson — rise to fame and success.   This meant that from a young age, Tony had the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes glance of how the hospitality business works — and the chance to roll his sleeves up and work!   Later in life, he has gone on to start, manage and own a whole range of his own businesses before turning to the world of investment.   In today's episode we talk about: Tony's early memories The art of negotiation How to balance creativity with business And the greatest challenges/successes he's experienced along the way   This conversation was done in collaboration with Ormeau Baths as part of their Founder Fireside Mini-Series and is a fascinating listen.   Check it out!   //   To see a photo of Tony please visit https://bestofbelfast.org/stories/tony-carson-entrepreneur   Best Of Belfast is Northern Ireland's #1 Interview Podcast.
