INTRO: My name is Amy Lynch and in today's solo episode I'm going to be sharing the momentum my activism, advocacy and work behind the scenes of Mixing Babies And Business™ has gained over the past eight years – including the positive and negative experiences I've had bringing my kids into business settings – some stories for inspiration, words of encouragement and practical actions you can begin to take to create social change.

THINGS I TALK ABOUT:

• How becoming a remote worker, freelancer and having experience working in PR, media and events prepared me to be comfortable around strangers
• The rooms I've been in over the past 18 months, as a result of starting to mix babies and business as a new parent eight years ago
• Common themes I've noticed across almost 100 podcast episodes, hosting events, networking, mentoring and speaking with parents
• Having my first baby overseas in London, England, joining a startup program and going to networking events in 2016
• Relocating to Canada, entering business spaces with a baby, then toddler and pregnant with our second kid in 2018
• Advocating for baby change facilities in corporate and education spaces
• Hosting my first pop-up events in business incubator spaces
• Going from speaking on stages with my kids to advising on pop-up childcare at business events
• Creating resources for parents doing flexible and remote work with kids
• Transitioning from in person events and meetups to this podcast and virtual village
• Previous solo episodes to inspire, encourage and provide practical actions for you during your adventures and experiences with mixing babies and business (EP 45 Baby In The Boardroom Parentpreneur, EP 54 Remote Work With Kids, EP 61 Hosting Events With Kids, EP 70 Pitching And Presenting With Kids, EP 80 Podcasting With Kids)

• The importance of being present for his partner and daughter, as he doesn't currently outsource or automate all aspects of his business
• Batching his travel, conferences and other engagements to spend shorter amounts of time away from his family
• His vision when it comes to borderless talent, being a digital nomad family and connecting with others around the world mixing babies and business in future

Thanks again to Gonçalo for speaking with me about his first year of being a parent and an entrepreneur, adapting to digital nomad life with a family and how it is impacting the ways he does business and builds communities with other collaborators.
