GenTog is an intergenerational day care that stands for Generations Together, with kids on one side, and grandparents on the other. They bring them together during the day to do crafts or music together. When the kids go outside to play, the grandparents sit at tables and drink coffee outside with them. It was reported to me that my daughter would hang out at the fence and wave and smile them.

This is my conversation with Joan San Nicolas. This conversation is incredibly personal. It’s also what I love about businesses that break the norm. Where GenTog breaks the rules, and they come out so naturally. I remember how pumped I was after this interview. I cried a little even. I’m not normally a cryer.

But this is the magic that Joan brings to the world.
