On this episode of Bridge the Gap, hosts Josh and Lucas sit down with Bobby Guy to unpack the massive changes happening across senior living, healthcare investing, and capital markets. Bobby shares why senior housing M&A activity is reaching record levels, how demographic shifts are reshaping the future of senior care, and why the industry desperately needs innovation aimed at the middle market, not just luxury communities.
