  • A 1,000-Page Beginning to a $2M Home Care Agency

    In this episode of the Home Care Millionaire Podcast, Paul and Joan talk with Thomas Smith, a Visiting Angels owner in Delaware whose home care journey literally started with a 1,000-page licensing file.

    Thomas also talks about the heart behind his growth and how they kept going by focusing on the pipeline. He talks about building a team that will “drop everything” when a client needs help, nurturing long-term relationships with CNA programs, hospice agencies, and state Medicaid waiver programs, and why staying informed about legislation and funding literally changed his bottom line.

    In this episode of The Home Care Millionaire Podcast, host Paul sits down with Visiting Angels owners Letty and Lee, two Air Force veterans who carried their military value of “service before self” straight into home care.

    Letty and Lee share how they go beyond the standard care plan to look at the whole person and the whole environment, why they prefer building relationships over traditional “marketing,” and how serving veterans in military-heavy San Antonio has become one of the most meaningful parts of their work.

  • Reputation First: How Chris and Judy Grew a Purpose-Driven Home Care Agency

    This week on the Home Care Millionaire Podcast, Paul and Joan talk with Chris and Judy, Visiting Angels owners in Montana, who chose reputation over rapid growth from day one. What started as a single mom’s step of faith and a firefighter’s heart for service has become a trusted, purpose-driven agency in one of the smallest and most close-knit markets in the country. Chris and Judy share how they built around service, standards, and work ethic, why they’d rather be known for excellence than size, and how caring well for clients and caregivers became the foundation of their growth.

  • Called to Serve: Carlos and April’s Visiting Angels Journey

    Paul and Joan return to the Home Care Millionaire Podcast with an inspiring story about faith, perseverance, and building a home care agency with heart.

    This week’s guests, Carlos and April, owners of Visiting Angels in Virginia, left stable careers to follow a long-standing call to serve seniors. Licensing delays, months of waiting for veterans’ approval, and long days in a quiet office could have shaken their resolve. Instead, they treated that season as preparation and chose to act on what they believed rather than what they saw.

    In this conversation, they share how they turned slow beginnings into a strong foundation by learning from other owners, building genuine community relationships, and refusing to separate their faith from the way they do business.

    You’ll hear how they visited local hospitals, grocery stores, and community events. They committed themselves: if the phones weren’t ringing, make yourself known and available to serve.

    If you are in a waiting season with your agency, wondering if you misheard your calling or started at the wrong time, Carlos and April’s story will remind you that “ slow “ days do not mean nothing is happening.

  • Be the Purple Cow: How Cecilia Built a Standout Home Care Agency With Heart

    Paul and Joan return to the Home Care Millionaire Podcast with one of the most heartfelt and joyful stories of purpose we’ve shared yet.

    This week’s guest, Cecelia, owner of Visiting Angels in northern Arizona, brings a lifetime of grit, gratitude, and faith to her work in home care. From losing her mother at ten years old… to pioneering in the hospitality industry… to running what she jokingly calls the “first Amazon”… her journey has been anything but ordinary.

    But those experiences shaped something powerful: a deep compassion for the vulnerable, a passion for service, and a belief that every day is a gift.

    In this conversation, Cecelia shares how she built a standout agency across 65,000+ miles of rural Arizona by doing something simple but rare - caring with her whole heart. She tells the story behind her famous “Purple Cow,” why she leads with joy, and how her “Yes I Can” mindset became the foundation of her culture.

    You’ll hear how she hires caregivers with heart, advocates for veterans, supports families who feel forgotten, and creates community events that draw hundreds of seniors every quarter.

    If you’ve ever wondered how to stand out in your market without losing your soul, Cecelia’s story will remind you that compassion is not just part of the business, it is the business.

    This week’s guest, Chris Smith (owner of Visiting Angels in Colorado), shares how losing his construction business during the 2008 housing crash opened the door to a higher calling: caring for others.
