Episode 271: We Are Mighty Pt 1

Mike Porath, founder and CEO of TheMighty.com talks about what it was like to have a daughter born with a chromosomal difference. How did The Mighty get their start? How has the platform changed from its initial spark? In the early days of his daughter Annabel's diagnosis, he found an old PDF on the web with 6 stories from parents who had the same condition as Annabel. He really connected with those stories. Their power moved him, the humor and joy, pierced the loneliness. "There's other people out there dealing with this. We can too." That became the crux of the idea for The Mighty. How do you build a health community? Can stories lead to conversations lead to community?
