As you know I\u2019m a huge fan of the co-parenting app, FAYR. Today I have FAYR\u2019s founder and CEO, Michael Daniels, as my guest. (ICYMI, FAYR is a collaboration app for co-parents, available for both iPhone and Android.)\nI adore Michael and his app because he\u2019s not just a tech-dude trying to ride the app wave. He\u2019s a divorced dad who has personally shared the experiences of FAYR\u2019s users \u2014 including those navigating complicated and contentious litigation.

An All-American athlete and avid outdoorsman, Daniels set a world record at age 12 as the youngest person to\xa0hike the 135 mile Philmont trail in New Mexico. He now lives in Weston, Fla. A custom homebuilder by profession, Daniels, 39, created FAYR to provide parents with a simpler, more effective way to track and keep logs that are\xa0required to prove custody schedules and events, child expenses incurred, written correspondences, and timely arrivals to pickup or drop-off children all while saving time, money and anxiety.\xa0\nMichael is uniquely and strategically suited to successfully bring Fayr to a national market.\xa0He is a divorced dad who has personally shared the experiences of Fayr\u2019s users, including and especially those navigating complicated and contentious litigation and living the day to day life of a co-parent. His personal experience enables him to personally connect with Fayr\u2019s end users and their lawyers who are Fayr\u2019s primary clients.\xa0\xa0\nWhat is equally important is Michael\u2019s prior success and commitment in business.\xa0It was the same kind of commitment, drive and determination Michael brings to Fayr which rapidly propelled him to a senior management position while in his mid-twenties with the Miami-based Lennar Corp.\xa0After Lennar, Michael spent ten years creating a thriving business building and designing one-of-a-kind multi-million dollar homes. The same focus on precision and quality that was the cornerstone of Michael\u2019s successful home building career, is now brought to Fayr.\xa0This focus along with his personal experience ensures that the Fayr business model is built with equal attention to success and quality.\xa0\nResources & Links:FAYR.com - Use Code: KAnthony for 20% off your subscriptionFAYR on Instagram FAYR on FacebookFAYR on TwitterThe Inspiration for FAYRGwynth Paltrow and FAYRThe Ultimate Divorce Survival GuideShould I Stay or Should I Go Facebook Group\nLearn more about your ad choices.
