🎙️ New Podcast Episode Alert: Outlive Your Life 🎙️
While many are looking to open an assisted living business, there are plenty of opportunities to WORK in the industry to see if you like it BEFORE investing time and a boat load of money into it.😏
On the second podcast in our network, I interviewed my AMAZING former Sale & Marketing Manager who came from the nonprofit sector into the senior living industry.
As a "newbie", he did what many proclaimed to be the impossible and completely filled a "lease up" newly constructed Memory Care community within ONE YEAR!
He was my FIRST hire as a new Regional!!!
AND, it was for a MAJOR new development where ALL EYES were on this project watching and waiting for it to fail. 😏
YOU KNOW THAT WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ON MY WATCH!
In this episode, we discuss his journey into senior living after surviving cancer. His story is a testament to the power of resilience, adaptability, and seizing opportunities when they arise.
SIDE NOTE: This was my FIRST interview as a new podcaster in 2020 and testing new software I knew nothing about...
So forgive any weird stuff...LOL.
But, I hope you enjoy it. Here are a few of the takeaways:
✅ Embrace change and never be afraid to take chances, especially in your later years. Life is full of opportunities for growth and learning at any age!
✅ Effective communication, patience, and a non-pushy approach are essential when working with aging adults and their families during this transitional period of their lives
✅ Continuous education and training are crucial in ensuring your success and that of your community.
The podcast to look for is "Outlive Your Life" where ever you like to listen to podcasts. There will also be a link in the comments.
The purpose of it is to share the wisdom and experiences of aging adults, those who work with them and their career path or business journey. ☺
What valuable life lessons have you learned from the older adults in your life?🧐
