Hello, and welcome back to all home care matters. If this is your first time visiting us here at the show, we want to say thank you for taking

time out to be with us today.

We appreciate how valuable everyone's time is, and that's why we try and make each episode

here at all home care matters, something that will hopefully matter to you. Today, we are excited to welcome two remarkable guests, David Weedrick and

Lori LaBea, the co-founders of Dementia Map. Welcome. Thanks for having us. Great to be here.

Thank you. It's our pleasure. It's our pleasure. Well, Dave and Lori, you're both

co-founders of the dementia map. Lori, you're the founder of Alzheimer's Speaks. And Dave,

you are the founder of the Memory Care Cafe Directory. How did the two of you come together to

start the dementia map? Well, it had to do with me listening to Lori and her podcast for many years, and it was common

for her to lament over not having the resources that she needed when she cared for her mother

who had had dementia.

And, you know, I kept hearing that.

I said, you know, I know my way around websites pretty well and understand that side of the

business and nobody better at this than Lori on the other side.

So I got in touch with her and proposed that we put this together

and it just was a perfect match. Wonderful. And, you know, Lori, you didn't initially start out

as an Alzheimer's expert and influencer and, you know, I call them the cornerstones of the dementia, you know, industry.

Share a little bit about your background and how and what led you to kind of your life's work.
