In today’s episode, we sit down with Lindsay Daudistel, a nurse-turned-entrepreneur who built one of the fastest-growing residential assisted living companies in Ohio.

Lindsay shares how she opened her first home in 2018 while raising a growing family (soon to be eight kids!), and scaled to nine thriving homes—with more on the way. Her story is driven by a powerful why: creating true freedom for her family and raising the bar for quality senior care after seeing her own grandmother neglected in a traditional facility.

Inside this episode:
✅ How she went from real estate investing + nursing to running 9 RAL homes
✅ The warning signs she learned to spot when evaluating properties & businesses
✅ Why vision, culture, and your “why” are the foundations of a successful company
✅ Her advice for building an empire, not just one home

This conversation is packed with lessons on resilience, growth, and purpose in the RAL industry. 🌟
