In this episode of The Quest for the GoodLife, Dr. Mike Strouse is joined by Beth McCoach and David MacDonald—GoodLife’s leaders in operations and tech innovation—for a compelling conversation on how smart technology is reshaping the way we support independence, safety, and connection.

Together, they explore:

  • How iLink is evolving into a national platform for care that’s simple, responsive, and privacy-forward
  • The role of neighborhood networks in creating belonging and interdependence
  • Why technology must be both powerful and invisible to truly serve people well

Plus, hear insights from a thriving off-the-grid community, the philosophy behind “one button, one finger” design, and why duct tape might still be the ultimate survival tool.

🎧 Please note: This episode includes a few sections with reduced audio quality due to technical difficulties. We have the transcript available if you need it! Thanks for your patience—and your curiosity.
