    Building Trust, One Conversation at a Time: Inside the Green Bench Documentary

    In this powerful episode of On the Move in Senior Living Marketing, Larry Williams sits down with Brad Bushby, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Schlegel Villages and executive producer of The Green Bench documentary. What started as a celebration of the Green Bench Program’s 10-year anniversary became something far greater: a deeply moving documentary about trust, human connection, storytelling, and the wisdom that comes from truly listening to older adults. Brad shares the inspiration behind the film, which follows residents as they revisit meaningful places from their past, reconnect with lifelong memories, and engage in heartfelt conversations that reveal the beauty, heartbreak, humor, and resilience that define a life well lived. Together, Larry and Brad unpack why authentic storytelling matters more than ever in senior living—and how building trust often begins with something as simple as sitting down and listening. The conversation explores: The emotional journey behind creating The Green Bench documentary How authentic resident stories can transform senior living marketing Why storytelling builds deeper trust with families and prospects The importance of vulnerability, empathy, and human connection How communities can move beyond features and amenities to showcase real life The growing “Green Bench” movement and its impact on the industry More than a conversation about marketing, this episode is a reminder that every resident has a story worth hearing, and that trust is built one meaningful conversation at a time.
