Startup Dad

Tobi Emonts-Holley is the CEO of Tiphereth where he started as a volunteer nearly 18 years ago. Tiphereth is an Edinburgh-based community for adults with learning disabilities and other support needs. He also holds a PhD in Economics. Most importantly (and impressively) Tobi and his wife are the parents of six children!

In this episode we discuss:

* Tobi's early journey leaving his home and moving to Edinburgh at a young age

* The joys and challenges of raising six unique kids

* Tobi's philosophy on fatherhood, including why memories trump possessions

* What it takes to be a great partner to his wife and how they share responsibilities

* What it means to be truly present in parenting

* The concept of "no magic pill" when it comes to raising kids

* How your kids are motivators, not excuses

* How to instill values, ethics and a sense of purpose in your children

* Tobi's lessons learned from living life very publicly on social media

* A "typical day" when raising six kids

* Rapid fire!
