Hi there - I’m Joe Houghton, and this is the first of what will be a series of articles, musings and posts about my journey trying to keep afloat as someone with a portfolio career living in Dublin, Ireland.
Family life, lecturing at university, consulting, photography, charity work - how I try to navigate the conflicting demands and opportunities, ups and downs of this non 9-5 existence and stay sane, reasonably balanced and still put food on the table.

I hope that something in here will resonate, add value, make you think, even help you along your way. Please join the conversation, share your thoughts if anything here makes you think, stop or reflect.
Anything I write here is just my perspective, and this may change over time, be wrong, incomplete or need adjustment, so feel free to share your side of the debates and issues raised, but in a positive and constructive way please! Life’s too short for trolls!
