    In this episode of the We Are Amada podcast we have the pleasure of Amada Co-Founder and Owner, Tafa Jefferson, guest hosting a fantastic conversation with Amada superstar, Jon Thomas. Jon serves on the executive team as the Director of National Accounts at the corporate headquarters, and dedicates his extensive experience in long-term care and background in financial planning and insurance to elevating Amada’s industry-wide impact. Jon brings a wealth of expertise to an in depth discussion about how Amada is leading the charge when it comes to innovating and evolving to meet the needs of an aging population. In this episode, they discuss: The Silver Tsunami (the impact of the Baby Boomer generation)Identifying the Critical Gaps in a Broken Healthcare SystemFinding Innovation in FundingIndustry Firsts (groundbreaking direct partnerships home care & insurance)The Human Element in the Age of AI This conversation provides insights into why it’s essential to stop viewing senior care as a limited non-medical service and start seeing it as a vital role in coordinating the future of healthcare. With the mindset of taking action before the storm arrives, there is an opportunity to lead the conversation, support our caregivers, and change the lives of families in every Amada community. In a world where 10,000 baby boomers reach retirement age every day, the "silver tsunami" is no longer a distant prediction. It’s a reality NOW. Listen in to discover why now, more than ever, there is a dramatic need for a "quarterback" in the broken healthcare system to help families navigate the complex care continuum. Whether you are a healthcare professional, a financial advisor, or someone considering a career change into a high-impact field, this episode reveals the unique opportunities found at the intersection of insurance, financial planning, and compassionate senior care.

    We Are Amada with Marcos Moura: Making the Transition and Starting from Scratch with Don Pratt

    In this episode of We Are Amada, we sit down with Charleston, South Carolina owner Don Pratt for a candid, nuts-and-bolts conversation about what it really takes to build a home care business with staying power. With a unique professional background (you'll have to listen to find out!), Don was faced with a decision later in his career; keep going in the same industry, or make a jump into an entirely unknown industry with a business model well outside of his comfort zone.  Don shares what ultimately influenced his decision to make the leap, and we discuss what he’s learned so far, including his decision making process, how to keep momentum when things get messy, and how to use numbers as a guide instead of a source of stress. In this episode, we cover: How Don approached ownership in the Charleston market and what helped him gain early tractionThe day-to-day operational realities of home care, and how to prioritize when everything feels urgentWhich performance numbers matter most (and how to stop drowning in reports)Building a dependable team and culture while maintaining quality of care and servicePractical lessons learned: what he’d do differently if starting again today, and what went well the first time aroundIf you’re an owner who needs to understand what story the numbers are telling and feel like the idea of starting from scratch is a daunting prospect, this is the episode for you. This extended episode packed full of information from an entrepreneur paving the road to success, one brick at a time.
