Lana spent 6 months in the hospital in the NICU unit and when Gaby and Mike were finally able to bring her home she needed an array of medical equipment and round-the-clock care to keep her healthy and improving. In addition to the stress of new parenthood and a child in need of special care, Gaby lost her job. She and Mike felt the strain in their marriage but knew they would stay together and resolved to do whatever it took to help their family thrive.

Together, in 2017, they started a fully digital marketing company, Proofpoint, so they could stay home to raise Lana who has grown stronger and healthier every day, and build a company with commitment to the values they hold dear. In this episode Gaby and Mike who have a new podcast Mixing Business With Pleasure share their experience of learning how to advocate for themselves and Lana and what life is like for their family five years later.

Gaby and Mike Grinberg’s daughter Lana Rose was born prematurely at 24-weeks in August 2015 due to severe preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome which irrevocably altered the way they had been living and working. In order to work from home and provide what their daughter needed they founded Proofpoint Marketing a People-First B2B digital marketing agency that’s fully-remote with team-members and clients around the country.

Mike and Gaby are also the co-hosts of a recently-launched podcast, Mixing Business with Pleasure: an interview-style podcast featuring couples in a loving relationship who also work together!
