Episode 36, Michael Bassett
Episode 36 of Studio CPO features host Steven Buck, President & CEO, in a conversation with Michael Bassett, Senior VP of Government Relations at AHCA/NCAL.
Michael shares insights from his time as a congressional staffer and his 12-year journey with AHCA/NCAL, where he works to help lawmakers and their teams understand the vital role of Long-Term Care in supporting the nation’s most vulnerable populations.
He also opens up about how he handles tough situations—by taking a step back, sitting down, and truly understanding the issue. Plus, he reflects on the advice he’d give his 21-year-old self: "Listen more, talk less."
