He shares his journey of serial entrepreneurship and how becoming a father shifted his focus towards family. We dive into his pioneering app, Maple, and explore how it helps parents stay organized, divvy up tasks, and create more balance and tranquility at home.

Sustaining a career while ensuring your family gets the best of you can be a juggle, wouldn't you agree? We dig into how Michael's own experiences led to creating Maple. It's not just an app, but a solution that empowers parents to strike that elusive balance between work and parenthood.
