Traditional banks often lack personalized service, and local businesses struggle to find true partnership in financial institutions. Meanwhile, higher education faces scrutiny over relevance and ROI in a world where information is nearly free. Harry Allen helped launch Studio Bank to blend technology with high-touch service, fueled by community investment. At Belmont, he's applying the same entrepreneurial mindset to modernize university operations and embed practical learning experiences, like a one-of-a-kind partnership with Dolly Parton, into academia. In this episode, Harry L. Allen, co-founder of Studio Bank and now CFO at Belmont University, unpacks the bold vision behind launching a community-first bank in a city dominated by financial giants. He shares the leadership lessons that shaped his journey, how to lead through crisis, and why mentorship is the key to filling today's leadership vacuum. Key Takeaways Leveraging both financial and social capital creates a unique, community-first banking model. High-tech doesn't mean low-touch, Studio Bank fused innovation with personal relationships. Leadership means showing up, especially during crisis. Universities must shift from being information hubs to delivering real-world experience.

Value-Based Care: The Only Way Forward? with Brian Fuller 32:09

16 weeks тому32:09

32:09

This episode of Foresight Radio explores the concept of Value-Based Care (VBC) and why it's a hot topic in healthcare and senior living. Guest Brian Fuller, explains how VBC is shifting healthcare from a fee-for-service model to an outcome-driven approach focused on both cost and quality. He highlights that accountability is at the core of VBC, meaning organizations must take ownership of patient outcomes and financial risk. The episode covers: ✅ VBC = Accountability – Organizations are responsible for both quality of care and cost management. ✅ Three Core Models of VBC: 1️⃣ ACOs – Full accountability for a patient population. 2️⃣ Episodes of Care – Managing costs within a set timeframe. 3️⃣ SNPs – Specialized Medicare Advantage plans for high-need groups. ✅ Why is VBC a Hot Topic Now? The aging population is moving into higher-risk categories (75+ and 85+). Healthcare costs are growing at an unsustainable rate. VBC is the only bipartisan-backed solution to improve care and reduce costs. ✅ Senior Living’s Role in VBC Senior living is shifting from hospitality to healthcare. Residents expect integrated, whole-person care. Providers must start engaging in VBC strategies now to stay relevant. ✅ Getting Started with VBC Understand your market and unique opportunities. Invest in data, analytics, and care models. Plan for scalability and long-term success. Is your organization ready to embrace Value-Based Care?…

Key Elements that Make a Workplace a "Destination Employer" with Joe Mull 36:43

20 weeks тому36:43

36:43

In this episode of Foresight Radio , host Rachel sits down with workforce engagement expert and author Joe Mull to discuss the evolving landscape of employee commitment and retention in the workplace. Joe shares insights from his book Employalty , breaking down what truly drives employees to stay, thrive, and perform at their best. Top Takeaways: Commitment and Retention Stem from Three Key Factors Employees are most engaged when they have an ideal job , are doing meaningful work , and have a great boss who supports them. Companies Must Shift from Hiring the Best People to Creating the Best Jobs The traditional model of “filling a role” is outdated. Employers must structure roles that align with employees’ evolving needs. Workplace Culture is Not a Pizza Party Culture is not defined by occasional perks but by consistent, repeated actions that reflect a company's values and commitment to employees. Turnover Has Hidden Costs That Leaders Often Ignore Burnout, lost productivity, and training new hires cost far more than simply improving pay, workload, and flexibility. A Simple Conversation Can Save an Employee from Leaving Leaders should proactively check in with employees, using structured conversations to assess what they need to stay engaged. Gen Z and Millennials Demand More—and That’s a Good Thing Unlike past generations, younger employees won’t tolerate toxic work environments. Businesses that adapt to their needs will thrive in retention and performance. The episode dives deep into how leaders can reframe their approach, measure their workplace culture, and take actionable steps to retain talent—before they walk out the door.…

Justin shares Jaybird’s commitment to residents, families, and employees. They also discussed how purposeful programming, innovative technology, and compassionate leadership improve senior living. They cover: Resident and Family-Centered Approach: Jaybird Senior Living focuses on building trust and comfort for families, ensuring transparency, consistent care, and communication. The organization acknowledges that family members often act as decision-makers and works to engage them effectively. Commitment to the Middle Market: Jaybird strategically operates in rural and underserved areas by leveraging clusters of properties to share resources and reduce costs. They balance affordability with quality by maintaining efficient staffing and tailoring services to specific community needs. Innovative Wellness Programs: Jaybird’s Ascend Wellness Program promotes the Six Dimensions of Wellness for residents in assisted and independent living. Team members are also encouraged to embrace wellness, with tools and initiatives designed to enhance their physical, emotional, and social health. Technology-Driven Solutions: Jaybird is implementing tools like TSO Life to enhance resident engagement and facilitate personalized connections between residents. Programs like a nurse triage system allow nurses to fully disconnect during off-hours, improving work-life balance and reducing turnover. Rethinking Activities and Purposeful Living: Justin emphasized shifting away from outdated, generic programming toward purpose-driven, meaningful activities tailored to individual residents.

Challenges and Opportunities in Staffing: Recruiting and retaining skilled employees in rural areas remains a challenge, but Jaybird aims to be the employer of choice in these communities.

In this episode of Foresight 5, Steve Moran and Dennis McIntee dive into crucial leadership strategies for senior living professionals. The conversation explores the importance of creating great experiences for residents, team members, and families, along with the challenges posed by regulations, feedback culture, and fostering collaboration. Top Takeaways: Feedback as Information: Feedback is not personal—it's information about someone's perspective. Leaders must focus on fostering emotionally mature teams that can handle and grow from constructive feedback. Ownership Culture: Excuses hinder progress. Leaders should ask reflective questions to help team members see, own, and address problems.

Process Over Vision: Mission and vision are important but don't overshadow the day-to-day processes and habits that drive real change.
