Eugeria! Chats with Three Fountains Retirement Community

00:00 / 00:14:53

Eileen Rians is a Chicago native who spent the majority of her career as a physical therapist, specializing in seniors. Through her work with seniors she grew to have a heart and passion for helping seniors make the most out of their lives as they aged. This passion led to her Three Fountains Retirement Community where she is the Marketing Director.

When Katie Sitton took a job at an independent living community after college graduation, she thought it would be a temporary stint in the senior living business. After a few years, she did move on, but to an assisted living community. She found that she really loved seniors, and was compelled to make a career serving seniors. Today Katie is the Executive Director for Three Fountains Retirement Community, a full service retirement community in the heart of North Dallas.

For more information about Three Fountains, you may call 214-363-4116 or just drop by for a tour. They are located at 6011 Melody Ln. in Dallas, 75231.

We want to thank Griswold Special Care for sponsoring today’s show. Griswold Special Care has been a preferred provider of high quality, affordable in-home senior care in Dallas and Atlanta for 20 years.

How to Position Your Company to Thrive in the Relationship Economy

In a world of abundance and hyper-connectivity, companies must focus on more than profitability

and the bottom line. Rather, they must become more transparent and purpose driven. That’s because

consumers have the tools and devices to instantly share in the brand experience and provide influential

recommendations. Consequently, they’re more selective and discerning about the companies they

associate with and why. Therefore, companies need to think and act more symbiotically, openly and honestly. They must embrace two-way dialogues with their customers, and engage less in “selling” and more in providing useful,

relevant information consistently across multiple marketing communications channels and devices.

Sagepath is a highly creative, multi-disciplined digital agency that follows a responsive, flexible and

nimble process that is custom-tailored to successfully guiding clients down the most direct and successful

path for their brand.

Jim Beach | School for Startups

Entrepreneurship is not about risk, creativity, or passion. We were lucky enough to be published by McGraw Hill. The book, School for Startups, argues that anyone can be an entrepreneur. Seventy-two percent of Americans wish they were entrepreneurs. When this seventy-two percent of people see that risk and creativity can be removed, no excuse remains for inertia. The book has reached as high as #11 on Amazon’s business section, and features inside stories about several interesting, yet very real and relatable, entrepreneurs.

Jim Beach’s first book, School for Startups, was published by McGraw-Hill in June 2011. Jim has started businesses and has taught entrepreneurship around the world. At the age of 25, Jim founded American Computer Experience and grew the company with no capital infusion to $12 million in annual revenue and to over 700 employees, operating in 39 states and in three countries. Jim taught entrepreneurship at Georgia State University for nine years and in 2009, and ranked number one in the business school for 12 straight semesters. In 2010, he founded School for Startups, which has taught over 7000 people to be low risk entrepreneurs. He has been featured in a UPS commercial, CNN called him the Simon Cowell of small business, and corporations like Wells Fargo, Toshiba, UPS, and SunTrust have hired him as a speaker and consultant.

Don’t forget about Friends of Gwinnett County Senior Services upcoming annual silent auction! The event will be held at Delmar Gardens in Lawrenceville on April 26, from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM. There is still time to donate an item, be a sponsor, or buy a ticket. Sponsorships are available from $100, and tickets are $25 for advance purchase.

Linda Strobel is an Ohio native who fled the cold weather for Dallas after graduating from Kent State University with an undergraduate degree in Social Work. Upon arriving in Dallas, Linda began working as a habilitator for Volunteers of America. After a few stops at facilities and hospitals, Linda decided to go back to school and complete her Masters of Social Working at the University of Texas at Arlington.

Today, Linda is a PRN social worker for 4-5 home health companies in the Dallas area and is the Owner of Organize and Rejuvenate, a professional residential organization service. Linda is very involved in her community. She participates in activities with the Random Acts of Kindness Meet Up Group, the Tzu Zoo DFW Rescue Group (for Shih Tzus & Lhapso Apsos), NAPO (Natl. Assoc. of Prof. Organizers) and a local Community Time Bank (that utilizes an exchange of services). If you would like to contact Linda about her services, you can visit http://www.organizeandrejuvenate.com/ or call her at 972-816-8004.

Alton Reynolds wears a multitude of hats! He has been serving in the “helping professions” both on the clinical and business side of healthcare for nearly 40 years. Starting his career providing psychiatric assessments of Navy and Marine personnel returning from Viet Nam, Alton continues to provide these assessments today.

Barry Wolf is a graduate of University of Pittsburgh. He holds both BA and MA degrees in Urban Regional Planning and Economics. Barry has spend the last 35 years working in commercial real estate, asset management, property management and funding. He specializes in projects in the healthcare and senior care industries.

Three years ago, Alton and Barry came together to form Global Healthcare Affiliates International, which offers a comprehensive menu of services to healthcare clients, ranging from business valuation services to mergers and acquisitions. Their philosophy is clear – to assist their healthcare clients in solving their issues and addressing their needs. As the Baby Boomers age, it is clear that the needs of a burgeoning senior population will be different. Further, the implementation of these needs will be more complex, due to the sheer volume of people that will be moving into their 70s and 80s in the next 20 years. Listen in as Barry and Alton share their ideas about the types of communities that are currently being considered for development. For more information, contact Barry at 678-200-7759, or Alton at 404-932-2755. You can also visit their website at www.globalhealthcareai.com, or email them: Barry@globalhealthcareai.com, or Alton@globalhealthcareai.com.
