At the 2025 小猪视频 Growth, Innovation, and Leadership Experience (小猪视频), keynote speaker Josh Linkner set the stage with the idea that we are living through our generation鈥檚 printing press moment. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining how we live, work and deliver care at home.
In this session, he discussed how the key to thriving in the age of AI lies in how we respond to technological change. This response can enhance personal and professional growth.
Embracing AI鈥檚 Potential for Human Empowerment
Linkner began by sharing a personal story. 鈥淚 lost my dad back in 2007 and he spent his last days in home hospice, which was really a gift,鈥� said Linkner.
That experience, he explained, is what drives his passion for using technology to enhance, rather than replace, human care.
Linkner emphasized AI鈥檚 potential to improve performance and reduce costs, citing studies showing a potential reduction in operating costs of up to 25% across multiple industries.
Five Principles for Thriving in the Age of AI
Linkner outlined five key principles to guide us through the rapidly evolving landscape of home healthcare.
Start before you鈥檙e ready: Progress favors action over perfection. Whether you鈥檙e launching a new care program or improving patient engagement, waiting for ideal conditions means missing the moment.
Break it to fix it: Linkner urged leaders to challenge the norm. Whether reimagining workflows or patient experiences, innovation begins by seeing the familiar through a new lens.
Use every drop of toothpaste: You don鈥檛 need a massive budget to make progress. Being resourceful is a competitive advantage.
Seek the unexpected: Innovation often comes from the least expected places. Unexpected moments can lead to lasting breakthroughs in care delivery and patient trust.
Fall seven times, stand eight: Innovation isn鈥檛 about getting it right the first time. It鈥檚 about sticking with it until you do.
鈥淐onfidence isn鈥檛 expecting to always be right. It鈥檚 knowing how to bounce back,鈥� explained Linkner.
Cultivating Small, Daily Acts of Creativity
Linkner discussed the importance of fostering small, everyday acts of creativity, which he called “big little breakthroughs.”
“The best innovators don’t swing for the fences with every pitch,鈥� said Linkner. 鈥淭hey’re not taking high-risk moonshots all the time. Instead, they cultivate small, daily acts of creativity that stack over time.”
In a healthcare setting, this could mean a new approach to scheduling, a reimagined patient onboarding process, or a new way to communicate with families.
“It’s those little postage stamps of ideas, creativity, innovation, those add up. That is our way to engage in the age of AI,鈥� emphasized Linkner.
A Future We Build Together
Linkner closed with a challenge and an invitation.
As care increasingly shifts into the home, we鈥檙e doing more than adapting to change, we鈥檙e helping to define it. This means tapping into the parts of us that machines can鈥檛 replicate: compassion, creativity and courage.
鈥淲hen we think about this mission together with the incredible folks at 小猪视频, it鈥檚 time. Let鈥檚 build the future of care at home together,鈥� said Linkner.
