Small Business Banter

Matt Davis on why leaving Paris to buy the Bookshop at Queenscliff was the right family move.

Episode Summary

Matt Davis, wife Jayne and young daughter had been totally absorbed in a Parisian lifestyle. It perfectly suited pursuing creative careers in music and writing and theatre but it wasn't as great for primary school education. A Facebook ad for a bookshop business for sale in a town they knew was the start of a new chapter.

Episode Notes

Matt Davis, Jayne (his  wife) and daughter left Paris to buy a book shop in Queenscliff Victoria  @BookshopatQueenscliff  

It was a hell of a move! Matt shares the background on why coming back to Australia made sense, seeing a @facebook ad for a #businessforsale and his experience in the process of #buyingabusiness

Matt and Jayne had lived in Paris a long time and their daughter. Matt made music, Jayne wrote and both worked in #advertising  &  #copywriting (English for French brands) which enabled them both to do their creative work. But they weren't such lovers of the school system and came to see Paris as a city built for adults.
