In this episode, we sit down with Spoony’s founder, Nicholas Carlton, to hear the story behind Spoony. From his own experience with chronic illness to building one of the world’s largest communities for neurodivergent, chronically ill, and disabled people—Nicholas shares what inspired him to start Spoony, the highs and lows along the way, and his hopes for the future of the platform. A little BTS of Spoony, if you will! ✨
