55: IT’S 50/50 NOT 1950
April 18, 2022
Our second DAD on the show!
Have you ever wondered why we see more action toward equality in the workplace than we do at home? That we find it easier to navigate these discrepancies with HR than our partner? That parenting feels like 1950 instead of 50/50? This week’s guest Michael Perry, the founder of Maple, felt that way too. So yea, it’s not in our heads, a MAN felt it too!
Michael Perry (He/Him) is the Founder and CEO of Maple, a company focused on building a better world for all parents. Prior to founding Maple, Michael founded Kit, which he sold to Shopify in 2016 and worked for over four years as an executive overseeing Marketing Technology.
