Sylvia and Jarrid Hall are the proud parents of two teenagers and co-founders of GAB-on! 
Sylvia has a 15+ years career in strategic and relationship marketing, she pivoted her energy and dedication to navigating the world of special education in both private and public schools on behalf of her son who learns differently. Sylvia holds a certificate from the Harvard E.D.U. "Family Engagement in Education" course; has a passion for writing, and has a tendency to bring rescue pups home at a moment's notice. 
Jarrid is an idea-generator, and builder of GAB-on! His resume includes years of business development and sales at Fortune 500 companies (most recently at Google) and startups domestically and in Europe. He started his first business at age 12, went on to build the US business for a Dutch start-up, and spent time in London to open a new technology market. He built GAB-on! to connect with his kids and to show them how to be unafraid to try to start something from scratch and to be involved in an effort for the impact it can have. 
Together, through the GAB-on! journey, Sylvia and Jarrid are graduates of the MassChallenge; graduates of the Rhode Island Social Enterprise Greenhouse Impact Accelerator; finalists for the MilkenPenn Business Plan contest, and recipients of the Rhode Island 50 On Fire Award.

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

The key to getting your kid to talk is giving them control of the conversation

Conversation not only builds the brain, but builds the foundation of a strong relationship

Kids are more likely to open up when they feel they are in a safe space
