It Takes A Village Podcast




 It Takes A Village is a conversation series for anyone navigating a senior transition — real talk with the people who help families find their way: senior living professionals, caregivers, elder law attorneys, and others doing this work every day. New episodes drop regularly 

 Want to be a guest, or host an episode at your location?
We're always looking for people doing meaningful work in senior care, caregiving, and related fields — Village Partners, professionals, or simply someone with a story worth sharing. We also love recording on location. Reach out: david@culbrethandco.com or (352) 322-2105. 






In the first episode of It Takes A Village, David Culbreth sits down with Zachary Gray, Executive Director of Bridgewater Park Assisted Living and Memory Care, to talk about servant leadership, senior isolation, and what families get wrong about assisted living. Along the way, Zach shares the story of a hundred-mile race, a Navy SEAL, and the words that changed how he thinks about pain.
