      SFN Dad To Dad 362 - Michael McManus of Barrington, IL Insurance Exec, Father of Two, One With Autism & Co-Proprietor Of Jigsaw Farms
      Jan 24 2025
      Our guest this week is Michael McManus of Barrington, IL, Vice President of Captive Resources, co-proprietor of Jigsaw Farms and father of two adult sons, including one with Autism.

      Michael and his wife Stacie have been married for 33 years and are the proud parents of two boys: Matt (31) and Jake (29) who is Autistic.

      Jake has benefited from a host of programs, including:
      • Cure Autism Now (CAN), now known as Autsim Speaks,
      • Brave Hearts, and
      • Cowboy Dreams
      Michael & Stacie purchased a 50 acre working horse farm in Woodstock, IL and renamed it Jigsaw Farms. In addition to their own horses, the farm currently boards 40 horses, includes three full time staff all with separate residences. They also rebuilt a house which would be suitable for Jake to live in, along with space for a caregiver.

      We’ll hear about that and more on this week’s episode of the SFN Dad to Dad Podcast.

      Special Fathers Network -
      SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."

      SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.

      SFN Dad To Dad 361 - Scott MacGregor of Fishers, IN ED of Content & Storytelling at Eli Lilly, Father of 3 Including One With Down Syndrome
      Jan 17 2025
      Our guest this week is Scott MacGregor of Fishers, IN who is Executive Director of Content and Storytelling at Eli Lilly and Company and father of three including one with Down Syndrome.

      Scott and his wife, Sara, have been married for 23 years and are the proud parents of three living children: Ainsley (16), Jack (18) and Abby (21) who has Down Syndrome. Very sadly, their son Owen who had Trisomy 13, was still born in 2011.

      We learn about a wide range of organizations Abby has benefited from, including: Gigi's Playhouse,, Unified Track, Kids Dance Outreach and First Steps as well as DADS (Dads Appreciating Down Syndrome).

      Scott supported his wife Sara as she co-founded Same As U, a nonprofit organization, located in Noblesville, IN established in 2019 to serve young adults with developmental disabilities and to help them live the life they imagine. Same As U is filling a need for more meaningful activities and programming that often stop upon leaving the traditional school system.

      We’ll hear all about that school, Scott’s gift of story telling and his commitment to family all on this episode of the SFN Dad to Dad Podcast.
