"I Feel Like" Is an Assumption: How Senior Living Operators Can Test What They Think They Know with Evan Friedkin - Head of Growth at Occulytics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Evan Friedkin is back on the show four years after his first episode. This time we're going after something every operator does every day: acting on assumptions nobody has ever checked. Evan walks through the assumptions he sees fall apart almost weekly, from "we don't get residents from across the river" to comp sets built on billboards and gut feel. We get into: how combining your own data with market data shows who's really winning your leads why most teams only revisit assumptions after a le
Beyond the Bond: The Three Buckets Where Senior Living Is Spending Its Capital Right Now with Rachel Lynch - AVP, Long Term Care Division at First American Equipment Finance (opens the original)

Most operators treat agency spend like weather, something that happens to you. Blake Thiess doesn't buy it. Blake has hired hundreds of healthcare professionals without agency. In his most recent role he went three years with zero agency usage and averaged 25 days to offer — less than half the industry average. At Prestige Care he cut agency spend by $3 million in one year. He walks me through how, and almost none of it costs money. Key takeaways: Speed is the game. Two or three interviews max.

In June 2026, Michelle Daniel and Julie Moore joined Walking the Talk for Dementia , a global immersive initiative that pairs a four-day, 40-kilometer walk along the Camino de Santiago in Spain with a two-day symposium, alongside 96 people from 35 countries.
