The Quest for the GoodLife with Dr. Mike Strouse

by Dr. Mike Strouse

How do we redefine what’s possible in care services, care & support models, and community living? The Quest for the GoodLife is where bold ideas, innovative solutions, and next-generation technology come together to transform lives. Hosted by Dr. Mike Strouse, a visionary leader in disability services, this podcast challenges conventional wisdom and explores groundbreaking approaches to independence, self-direction, staffing models, technology-enabled care, and workforce stability. Through candid conversations, real-world examples, and thought-provoking analogies, Dr. Strouse and co-host Ivo Ivanov unpack the science of implementation, the art of change management, and the future of human-centered care. This podcast is designed for: • Leaders of care service organizations seeking forward-thinking strategies. • Advocates, parents, and guardians wanting to empower their loved ones. • Legislators and policy-makers shaping the future of care.• Individuals with care needs looking for a more independent, connected life. Join us on this journey as we push boundaries, reimagine care, and challenge the status quo—because at GoodLife, impossible is what we do best.Tune in, challenge the norm, and start your own Quest for the GoodLife.
