    Ep 35 - From Click to Connection: How Senior Living Teams Can Build Trust After the Inquiry

    In Episode 35 of The Drake Insights Podcast, Natasha Drake welcomes back Christie Freeze, Director of Strategic Growth at SalesMail, for a conversation about what happens after a senior living lead raises their hand. Senior living organizations are investing more than ever in websites, SEO, content, AI, automation, and digital lead generation. But once the inquiry comes in, the real question becomes: How do we move from click to connection? Natasha and Christie discuss the gap between marketing and conversion — and why “speed to lead” is no longer enough on its own. Christie shares why senior living teams need to focus on speed to trust by creating warmer, more personal, and more human follow-up experiences. If you’re a senior living sales or marketing leader looking to improve follow-up, increase engagement, and create more meaningful connections after the inquiry, this episode is for you.

    Ep 34 - The Tech-Forward Advantage: Solving Problems, Improving Efficiency & Enhancing Human Experiences

    Technology and AI are dominating conversations across senior living—but how do you separate real opportunities from the endless stream of shiny new tools? In this special live episode recorded at the LeadingAge PA 2026 Annual Conference, host Natasha Drake joined fellow industry leaders, Matt Reiners of Parasol Alliance, Demi Mallios of HumanGood, Ryan Galea and Meredith Wentworth of GoIcon, to discuss what it truly means to be a tech-forward organization and where communities should be focusing their time, energy, and investments. The communities that win won't be the ones chasing every new tool or trend. They'll be the ones that use technology intentionally to solve real business challenges, improve operational efficiency, elevate the human experience, and drive measurable results.
