But I guess I'll say my superpower is probably grit.Finding the right senior housing for loved ones is often a daunting and stressful experience. In today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Bennett Kim, the CEO and founder of ZNest, who is on a mission to transform this process. Bennett shared his professional journey and the personal motivations that led him to create ZNest, a platform designed to democratize senior housing options and streamline the search process for families.Bennett's career in senior housing began over two decades ago with a private equity firm, Apollo, which owned the largest private assisted living operator in the country at the time. His experiences with Apollo and the challenges he faced finding care for his aging parents deeply influenced his decision to start ZNest during the pandemic.One of the most compelling aspects of Bennett's work is his recognition of the systemic issues within the senior housing industry. He identified that existing referral companies often prioritize profit over genuinely helping families, leading to a lack of transparency and limited options for those seeking care. ZNest aims to change this by providing a comprehensive, free directory similar to Zillow or Apartments.com, allowing families to see all their options without being steered by hidden incentives.Bennett explained, "We need to have kind of this democratized data and allow families to know what all their options are. So we say our model is a little bit more akin to a Zillow or an Apartments.com for senior housing where there's a free consumer-facing side and we just monetize through tools on the back end."In addition to revolutionizing the search process for senior housing, ZNest is also addressing another critical issue in the industry: labor shortages. Bennett highlighted that the pre-boarding process for new hires in senior housing facilities often takes several weeks, causing many potential employees to opt for quicker employment opportunities like fast food or gig economy jobs. To combat this, ZNest is developing tools to keep job seekers engaged through text-based communication and detailed community profiles, which also serve to inform families about their potential new homes.Bennett's innovative approach to solving these dual challenges in the senior housing industry not only aims to make life easier for families but also seeks to improve operational efficiency for housing providers. His vision for ZNest is a testament to his commitment to creating meaningful change in a space that affects so many lives.For those interested, ZNest is currently raising funds on Wefunder. You can learn more about their mission and support their efforts at wefunder.com/znest.tl;dr:1. Introduction and Guest Background: The show opens with host Devin welcoming guest Bennett Kim, an entrepreneur from ZNest, a company aiming to revolutionize how people find senior housing. Bennett is motivated by both personal and professional experiences, including senior housing development and his parents' aging.2. Career Catalysts and Pandemic Insights: Bennett explains that his extensive experience in the senior housing industry and his parents' ages prompted him to start ZNest, especially during the pandemic. He wanted to create something meaningful in the latter part of his career and saw the existing senior housing search processes as problematic.3. ZNest's Mission and Technology: Bennett outlines ZNest's mission to democratize data for senior housing. Unlike existing referral companies, ZNest aims to provide a comprehensive directory akin to Zillow or Apartments.com for senior housing, allowing families easier access to their options without biased referrals from companies prioritizing their profit margins.4. Employment Issues in Senior Housing: Another focus of ZNest is addressing labor shortages and high attrition rates in senior housing. Bennett's team developed tech solutions, including a texting-based engagement service to keep job seekers engaged during the lengthy pre-boarding process. These profiles serve dual purposes: aiding in both employment and housing searches.5. Crowdfunding and Future Directions: ZNest is raising funds on Wefunder to further develop its platform. They aim to reduce the reliance on costly referral fees and provide a more transparent and efficient process for both housing seekers and employers in the senior housing industry. Bennett encourages the audience to invest in ZNest via their Wefunder campaign.How to Develop Grit As a SuperpowerBennett Kim defines his superpower as grit. He attributes his success to his ability to persist through challenges and maintain his commitment to his goals, even when faced with significant obstacles. Despite not always being the smartest or most charismatic person in the room, his unwavering determination has enabled him to overcome difficulties and achieve his objectives.Bennett shared an anecdote illustrating his grit during the early stages of building ZNest. He recounted multiple instances where the company was on the brink of running out of cash, leaving them with only a couple of months' worth of funds. These moments were filled with uncertainty and doubt, but Bennett's relentless perseverance and constant effort to pivot and adapt kept the company afloat. His ability to "keep on pounding" and "claw back" during these tough times exemplifies his superpower of grit.Tips for Developing Grit:1. Daily Reflection: Spend time each day reflecting on why you are pursuing your goals. This can be the first thought in the morning or the last thought before bed.2. Passion Alignment: Ensure you are genuinely passionate about your work. Passion helps sustain motivation during challenging times.3. Discipline: Develop a disciplined approach to your tasks. Commit to taking consistent steps forward, no matter how small they may seem.4. Introspection: Regularly evaluate your progress and adjust your strategies as needed. Being introspective can help you stay aligned with your goals and make necessary adjustments.By following Bennett Kim's example and advice, you can make grit a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileBennett Kim (he/him):CEO, ZNestAbout ZNest: ZNest is “Zillow meets Glassdoor for senior housing.” The monetization for the initial phase is a labor platform (job board, analytics, salary transparency) connected to a free consumer-facing senior housing directory. Our ultimate goal is to simplify the way families find senior housing for their aging loved ones.Website: www.znest.comX/Twitter Handle: @ZNestSeniorsFacebook Page: fb.com/ZNestSeniorsLinkedin: linkedin.com/company/znestInstagram Handle: @znestseniorsOther URL: wefunder.com/znestBiographical Information: Prior to ZNest, Mr. Kim was Managing Partner of Big Rock Senior Housing and Chief Investment Officer of Big Rock Acquisition Corp.

ALNA CEO, Ben Kearney is joined by special guest Tania Harris, ALNA IR Specialist on this live webinar to discuss the employment issues facing small business owners.
Part I: Understanding At-Will Employment "At-will employment is a foundational concept in U.S. employment law. It allows either the employer or the employee to terminate employment at any time, for any reason—except an illegal one—or for no reason at all. However, there are significant exceptions to this doctrine. For instance, an employer cannot terminate employment for reasons that violate federal anti-discrimination laws or in retaliation for an employee's protected activities, such as whistleblowing. Let's consider the case of Green v. Ralee Engineering Company, where the court recognized a public policy exception when an employee was terminated for refusing to falsify test results. This case helps highlight the limits of at-will employment and the protections employees can expect under the law. Furthermore, states like Montana have modified the at-will standard, requiring just cause for employee terminations. It's important to note how state-specific variations can impact employment rights and employer responsibilities." Part II: Common Workplace Issues "Moving on to common workplace issues, let's start with wage and hour laws under the Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA. The FLSA sets minimum wage, overtime pay standards, and classifications for exempt and non-exempt employees. Understanding these classifications is crucial as they determine eligibility for overtime. For example, in a landmark case, overtime was awarded to misclassified employees, setting a precedent for how employers should carefully determine employee status. Next, let's discuss workplace safety, governed by the Occupational Safety and Health Act, or OSHA. OSHA mandates that employers keep the workplace free from recognized hazards. A significant case here is when a manufacturing plant was fined heavily for repeated safety violations following severe employee injuries, illustrating the enforcement of safety standards. Lastly, we touch upon discrimination and harassment, protected under laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. An impactful case to consider is one where a company faced substantial penalties for systemic racial discrimination, underscoring the legal consequences of violating federal anti-discrimination statutes." Part III: Employee Rights and Resources "Employees have various resources at their disposal to address workplace issues. The Department of Labor offers guidance and enforcement of labor laws, while state labor departments provide local support. Advocacy groups and organizations like the EEOC play pivotal roles in supporting employee rights. For instance, an employee at a retail chain successfully used the EEOC to settle a case of disability discrimination, showcasing how these resources can be effectively utilized to uphold employee rights." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

Sorry for the previous edit. Now been fixed! Cheers Ian Welcome to the ManMade Podcast Employment can have a significant impact on mental health. A job that is fulfilling and provides a sense of purpose can enhance one's self-esteem and overall well-being. However, a stressful work environment, job insecurity, long hours, and high job demands can lead to mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and burnout. Additionally, discrimination and harassment in the workplace can exacerbate existing mental health conditions or lead to new ones. It is important to prioritize mental health and seek support when needed to ensure a healthy work-life balance.

The rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine to select healthcare providers, employees and patients raises a number of unprecedented questions for hospitals and health systems as both healthcare providers and employers.

Today I’ll continue the series of questions you need to ask programs with three more areas of focus. Remember that each and every program will have some time for you to ask THEM questions. Not asking anything makes you come across as uninterested, asking something you can look up online makes you look like you didn’t do your homework, and asking good questions can show that you know what you are talking about. I’ll follow the AAMC document introduced last episode, link in the shownotes, and and cover three new topics. My goal is to explain the logic behind them, and let you know what to expect in an answer. Employment Issues What are the basic resident benefits? Is parking a concern for residents at your program? Are meals paid for when on call? What is your family leave policy? Is there reimbursement for educational supplies and books? Are moonlighting opportunities available? What are the rules for moonlighting? How are residents represented at the institution level? How is the resident member of GMEC selected? Is there a union? Is membership mandatory? Are there dues? Is there a House Officers Association? Questions to specifically ask other Residents What are the strengths and weaknesses of the program? Would you consider the same program if applying again? Is there an appropriate balance between service obligations and the educational program? Is there enough ancillary support to minimize "scut?" What has changed since you came to the program? Is the program responsive to suggestions for change? How accessible is the faculty? Is the relationship with faculty collegial? Do the residents get along with one another? How do your residents get along with residents in other programs? In what activities are you involved outside of the program? How does your spouse/significant other like the city/area? Questions to ask Yourself Finally, you will likely find yourself facing a decision between one of several programs which are all extremely similar from academic and patient-care standpoints. At this time, it is very important to consider factors relating to your personal happiness and comfort for the duration of your residency. Can I be happy working in this program and with these people? Am I confident in the program and the sponsoring institution? Are there factors that make this place (city/town/rural area) an attrac tive place for me to live during my residency? (Factors that you may include are prox imity to immediate and extended family, happiness of spouse/significant other, housing, cost of living, quality of secondary school system, community opportunities, and recreational activities.)
