PT 2: Martin Barnes is a parent of six-year-old twins, founder of 8 Seconds 2 Connect and graphic artist at ThisCityArt. With 20 years of experience in design, film and advertising, Martin is focused on supporting C-Suite leaders with their messaging and delivery.

This is the second of three mini episodes of our conversation. In this interview, we talk about relocating from China to England with his family, intergenerational living and creating inclusive spaces.

THINGS WE TALK ABOUT:

• What it's been like relocating suddenly from China to England four years ago after what was meant to be a five-week vacation
• Intergenerational living with his parents, wife and twin daughters
• Living with family close by, the interactions everyone is having and mutual benefits to all involved
• Working remotely since 2013 and travelling while maintaining client work
• How we can make hospitality AND business spaces more accessible for parents and their children

Thanks to Martin for taking part of his day to speak with me about parenthood, travel, international family life, flexible work and accessibility.

Season 6 is sponsored by the Mixing Babies And Business Changemaker Program – for people who want to do things differently, create an impact and advocate for primary caregivers and their families along the way: mixingbabiesandbusiness.com/changemaker
