Aging Media Network launched as a digital-only B2B publisher with two brands—Reverse Mortgage Daily, which John launched in 2006, and Senior Housing News, launched by George in 2008. The two merged their operations in 2011 and have since introduced four more brands (including one this year) to the company's core market of senior care professionals. The company is also turning a profit and growing in both revenue and staff size.

With such an interesting story to tell, we decided to take some time to speak with Yedinak to hear more about the progress his company has made, his passion for B2B publishing, the future of his business and of the industry in general. Folio: You recently told us you were profitable and growing. So looking back eight years, is Aging Media where you hoped it would be in 2020? John Yedinak: When we started the business we really wanted to figure out how to survive. We had two publications at the time. We thought if... Continue reading at 'Folio Magazine'
