[#45] In this episode of The Fearless Entrepreneurs Podcast, host Cindy Chang sits down with Hayley Mullins, founder and inventor of JoeyBand, a patented, FDA-registered medical device transforming the way parents and healthcare providers approach safe skin-to-skin bonding.
Hayley shares how one terrifying moment with her newborn daughter revealed a major gap in maternal and newborn care — and sparked the creation of a simple, life-changing product now used in hospitals across North America and beyond.
What began as a handmade solution on her dining room table has grown into a clinically supported innovation helping improve bonding, breastfeeding outcomes, newborn safety, and the fourth trimester experience for families and clinicians.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
* How Hayley turned a personal parenting scare into a patented medical device
* Why skin-to-skin care is so critical for newborns, parents, and healthcare teams
* What it takes to break into hospitals and navigate long healthcare sales cycles
* How JoeyBand supports C-sections, NICU care, breastfeeding, and partner bonding
* Lessons on patents, partnerships, team building, and scaling a healthcare innovation
If you’ve ever spotted a gap in the market and wondered whether your simple idea could become something bigger, this episode is a powerful reminder that the best innovations often come from lived experience.
