Are you over the age of 50? Are you concerned about your own or a family members Long Term Care? Author, Advocate, Entrepreneur - Ben Rao is here to kick off Season 5! Ben Rao is an author, life-long entrepreneur, philanthropist and senior care advocate who lives in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Ben was raised in Louisville, Kentucky by his stepfather Tom and his mother Peela, who devoted 40 years in not-for-profit senior services. Ben experienced first-hand the emotional and financial struggle that families face when he was unexpectedly confronted with the reality of transitioning Tom into senior care. He was challenged by the lack of direction and resources available for a process that nearly all of us will eventually need to go through. That experience inspired Ben to use his personal and professional experience in the long-term care industry to help families transition their loved ones into senior care. Ben lives with his wife, Rhonda, and their two children, Maddy and Charlie, in a renovated historic building that was once the Lee's Summit Hospital and the Dayton Hotel in Downtown Lee's Summit. He developed Lee's Summit's first entrepreneurial incubator and office space in a formerly vacant post office. He works there alongside his trusty sidekick, Charlie dog, a border collie who has gone to the office with him every day for the last 10 years.

Topics Discussed and Key Points: The motivation to create Mom's House How Mom's House's certified home buyers save families' time and money Growing the Mom's House network of home buyers and senior living communities Episode Summary: In today's episode, Debbie speaks with Ben Rao, Co-Founder of Mom's House, a platform which connects certified home buyers with families who are in the process of selling their senior parent's house. Mom's House is known today as “the nation's largest senior home buyer network”. At some point during Ben's career as a real estate investor, he got connected to the founders of Family Solutions for Care, which “indoctrinated” him into the senior space. He realized through this partnership that it is a common problem among families to not have the support of an insurance company as they look to enter a care community. It so happened that Ben was also connected with a real estate investor focused on the senior space, who did over 50 transactions a year through referrals alone. The two teamed up to discuss how to fill this gap in the market, leading to the founding of Mom's House. Many families lack the resources and knowledge to get a house listed when it is time for their senior members to move into a care community. Hiring a real estate agent is often their only option, and even in this case it takes around four to six months to finally sell the house. That is, if the family is able to shoulder unexpected expenses and prepare for potential delays throughout those months. Mom's House changes the game by connecting home buyers certified by the company around the country to these families. Buyers then make an offer to buy the house for cash and close the deal in less than 30 days.   Links: Mom's House

Discussion of coworking among those who support it most are often peppered with descriptions like communal, collaborative and close-knit. In the age of COVID-19 and social distancing, many of those once-complimentary descriptions are akin to four-letter words. Amid that shift, shared workspace operators and tenants have been forced to adjust. This week's episode of Speaking Startup features a conversation with Ben Rao, founder of Bridge Space, a coworking facility in the Kansas City area. He discusses how his facility has navigated coronavirus adjustments. Plus, downtown Columbia's biannual restaurant week is designed to drum up customers for local establishments during what's typically a slow season. But this year, with business already brought to a halt by the coronavirus, restaurant week has taken on a different feel for many local restaurant entrepreneurs.

I am pumped to share Ben’s story in success with his extreme effort and the heart ache of failure.  Ben is the real deal entrepreneur with over 40 units and he busted the mold by taking a risk it all drive to create a 2.5 million dollar project called Bridge Space which is a coworking facility in downtown Kansas City. His passion to help business leaders especially the hungry ones that need leads with his new venture rolling out now is called.  https://momshouse.com/ Do you have any ideas/questions?

For this Friday conversation host Nick Parker sits down with Ben Rao to talk about the upcoming Lee's Summit Chilifest and to celebrate the entrepreneur's 1-year anniversary of the Bridge Space coworking space in downtown Lee's Summit.

Ben Rao joins the program to talk about his experience battling skin cancer and how it has inspired him to spend the past nine years preaching the importance of skin screenings and early detection. Rao joins host Nick Parker and his wife, Stephanie Parker, in hosting the April 20 Live Next Cancer Awareness event at Bridge Space in downtown Lee's Summit.

We're a day late with this week's episode. But we have a good reason. We wanted to record live from a cool new development in town. Wednesday night, Jason and Nick attended the launch party for the new Bridge Space Lee's Summit.

During the party, the duo grabbed Ben, and some of the guests (including Mayor Bill Baird), to talk about the space and what it could mean for the continued growth of the city.
