Blog

Welcome along to our blog here at Dad’s Place. This blog is written and maintained by Matthew Emo. In addition to being the co founder of a growing family business, I’m also a 30 something guy, managing Cerebral Palsy in rural Cornwall and trying, much like everyone else, to navigate my way through life with one simple goal, to make the best of it.

This blog will of course delve into the stresses and thrills of running your own business but it will also act as a form of personal escapism from those stresses and indeed life’s challenges. For me, there is nothing more freeing and all encompassing than the process of writing and the journey it takes you on.

I write for myself and so at times my posts will be personal, humorous and dare I say damm right pointless but (hopefully) never boring.

I’d like to finish this intro by asking every reader to remember that we all breath the same oxygen, there’s not a single individual in this life who deserves to be seen as better than anyone else. If they can achieve success, then so can you. The only person who can tell you, that you can’t, is the person staring back at you in the mirror. Believe and succeed. Happy Reading…
