Leading With Purpose in Home Health Care Featuring Matt Murphy, CEO of CareGivers of America

In this episode, Paul sits down with Matt Murphy, CEO of CareGivers of America and a four‑time private‑equity–backed CEO, for a powerful conversation about leadership, purpose, and the human side of scaling a mission‑driven organization.
Home health care isn’t a typical private equity play. It’s not tied to interest‑rate cycles or market swings. It’s a heart business — one built on dignity, trust, and human connection. Matt brings a rare blend of operational discipline and mission‑centered leadership to a sector where the stakes are deeply personal.
Together, Paul and Matt explore what it means to lead in a purpose‑driven industry, how to navigate the natural tension between quality of care and operational performance, and what it takes to integrate 10 companies into one unified mission.
Matt also shares a formative leadership lesson from his time as a Naval Officer — a story about mistakes, accountability, and communication that continues to shape how he works with boards today.
