A Culture of Promise

The True Story of a Small Company's Quest to Transform the Senior Living Industry

By: Fee Stubblefield

Narrated by: Fee Stubblefield

What began as a simple promise became an entrepreneurial journey to change an industry. In A Culture of Promise: The True Story of a Small Company’s Quest to Transform the Senior Living Industry, author Fee Stubblefield encapsulates the best insights on how to build an organization from the ground up and the challenges and opportunities the senior living industry as a whole faces. Even if you aren’t in senior living you will want to listen to this book because every family and every sector of the economy and government is touched and impacted by our country’s rapidly aging population.

Fee’s passion for building organizations, culture and being disruptive was nurtured in part by his unusual upbringing at a place called Lehman Hot Springs, a small family resort deep in the Blue Mountains of Oregon. Its healing waters and natural setting offers a rich metaphor for organizational culture and business principles that will cause you to think about solving problems in a whole new way. Fee’s promise not to put his grandmother “in an old folks’ home” unlocks the power of having a sense of purpose in serving others and being a part of something bigger than ourselves.

Travel with Fee through an authentic 100-year story of discovering meaning and connecting dots of a family’s failures and triumphs. Learn about a new kind of promise, the paradoxical aspirational promise, that is guaranteed to fail but necessary for those who want to accomplishing great things. The investment of time listening to this book will be well worth the price of admission as you will get an insider’s view into what it really takes to be successful and make a difference in your corner of the world.

Interesting, but can be heavy concerning his business model. And wish he had another book just for his biography.

Fee Stubblefield didn’t want to put his grandmother in an old folks home (nursing home). His bio is interesting and I enjoyed it the most and felt he could have added it more. His business model was/is interesting and I will get to see firsthand as to how one of his communities really works, (I feel like this is only the beginning) 😊👍.

Inspiring and authentic portrayal

Excellent perspective on what it takes to create an aspirational culture of promise while balancing the expectations of residents, families, team members and investors. Well done Fee! Your story is inspiring and genuine. You never fail to speak out for what we need to do better to position the industry for success now and into the future!

You’ll spiritually tingle the entire time you read this beautiful book.

Did I think I was reading a business book? Yes! Did I get so so so much more? Absolutely. When I connect to my spirit I get something I call tingles of truth. My body responds with a spiritual buzz. I was not expecting that when I started listening to A Culture of Promise. But I couldn’t deny that Fee’s experiences was guided through wonderful inspiration. And hearing his path to following his inspiration was a beautiful reminder that we all have something inside guiding us for great things.
