How a Stay-at-Home Dad Created a Digital Assistant for Caregivers with Ryan Sheedy

Hello Brave Friends! Welcome to today's practical episode, #184. Our guest today is a dad!  Ryan Sheedy is a dad, a rare disease caregiver and a founder. He lives in Bentonville, Arkansas with his wife and three sons. In 2018, after 15 plus years in business development and fundraising, he paused his career to become a stay-at-home dad caregiver for his twin sons. One of his sons, Reynolds, was diagnosed with Costello syndrome in 2018. Since birth, Ryan has been Reynolds’ primary caregiver. 100 plus days in the NICU, countless surgeries, and managing a 25 plus person care team. He and his son's rare journey and the countless families they have met along the way inspired him to create Mejo. As a caregiver, he knows, first hand, that being a caregiver is an everyday job, there's no days off. And Mejo is a web app built for caregivers to help save you time so that you can have more joy with those that you love and care for. I can't wait for you to meet Ryan. He is a great guy, great dad, entrepreneur, and he created something that all of us need! So please, run to your computers and look this up because it's going to save you a lot of time.
