I met Sebastian in Mendable and he quickly became one of my brothers. Listening to him and his story will help you to understand why...

I discovered Mendable in a Target Parking Lot on Club House after recieving an invite. Fast forward to today, I had the opportunity to interview my sister, the founder of Mendable.One episode will not be enough to convey what this family means to me now. However, I hope it helps you understand why I consider Sophia my sister across the pond.
