I've been pretty excited about this technology and this data

to really make significant changes in people's lives.

my girlfriend and I decided that we could

reverse engineer this very mysterious thing

just some of the things that we've learned  over the last year

parenting is probably  one of the most difficult tasks

that most people will ever have to face and have in common.

It's about balancing  the now with the future

and hoping that your kids grow up to be great.

So, what's amazing is, as I began  speaking with more and more parents

I realized most of them  are making it up as they go.

"It'd be easy if I had a PhD or if I had time."

The number one source of help for parents

They go there, and it delivers them  their answer.

how can technology and data  and all these great things

be re-purposed to actually make  a significant change

in a significant amount of people's lives.

It seems like a great market to go after.

As I began to look at the day  of a family's life

I realized there's this structure that exists

and there's these things that I like to call pivot points.

where the routine takes a significant change.

Where the speed is different, something's different

in terms of kids don't usually react well to these pivot points.

Ask any parent how much they look forward

they're not being completely honest with you.

And, it was just a really interesting finding for us

We started holding these day-long interview sessions

The red indicates any pain point  that he feels in his day.

I forgot to take this down  in between interviews

and when I came back into the room there was a dad standing there

that these tasks, that these pivot points

and what's new is most people  don't really care why,

But what's new is when you figure out the why the why is,

in most cases it's one  of the only points in the day

Most of their day is about being ushered around ushered along,

So these are points where they can really show their empowerment.

So, what we found out is parents need this.

But I thought we could do something a little bit more engaging,

but how do we do it? How do we define normal?

How do we make it so that a family's life is easier?

So, first of all I asked: Why normal?  Do we really just want to be normal?

But it is important to know that you are not alone,

and that's the point  people are really striving for.

They're one of the earliest measures of normal

and it gave parents confidence that their kids should be growing.

and continue to define normal for families.
