In this episode of Sandwiched, powered by Tumbleweed and hosted by Paul H. Richardson, Jr., we talk with Biagio Arobba, a software developer, proud father, twin, partner, and son. As his parents began to age, Biagio drew on his technical skills to help his family stay organized—ultimately creating a structure of weekly family meetings to plan their parents’ care journey.
Together, we explore:
-
Caregiving through the lens of Native American culture
-
The role of sons and brothers in caregiving
-
Living “sandwiched” between raising children and supporting parents
-
How family structure and intentional conversations create resilience
Biagio’s story highlights the power of combining heritage, technology, and love to prepare families for what’s ahead.
