Who is Niall Harbison?

Niall Harbison is an Irish entrepreneur, author, and digital marketer. He is the co-founder of Lovin Dublin, a popular digital media platform that covers food, drink, and lifestyle in Dublin, Ireland. Prior to his work with Lovin Dublin, Harbison co-founded Simply Zesty, a digital marketing agency that he later sold to UTV Media.

More recently, Harbison has turned his attention to helping street dogs in Thailand.

In addition to his work with the Soi Dog Foundation, Harbison continues to be an active entrepreneur and writer. You can follow along with Niall through his writing on his substack, aptly titled "10,000 Dogs."
