Episode #67: What Does the Future Hold?

from A Brush with Death · host National Funeral Directors Association

In May of 2023, the NFDA hosted "Future's Forum" where 70 attendees representing the death care space met to analyze, discuss, and strategize the future of our profession. This event was facilitated by Jim Austin and Paul Schoemaker, two gentlemen whose careers focus on strategic decision-making for businesses of all kinds. In this episode, host, Gabe Schauf, is joined by Jim and Paul to discuss the Future's Forum event and what the future of the funeral profession could look like. Is your firm only operating in the present or is it looking ahead? Do you know what you can do to innovate, where there are opportunities to grow, and how to begin moving forward? This episode is a good place to get started. Funding in part for this event was provided by a grant from the Funeral Service Foundation.
