Richard Mercer facilitates a pet loss support group for the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, where he helps those working through their grief. Through his time working with those struggling to process and move forward, Richard has learned how to guide people along their journey. He realizes and stresses that everyone heals differently, and on varying timelines. Certain practices, however, can typically be beneficial for most – such as looking at how we frame the memories of our dogs for the past and future. These pet loss support groups can also provide a crucial sense of community when people can feel alone.For more information about the episode, guest, and featured social media or links: www.dogsavethepeople.com/episodes/richard-mercer - If you liked this episode, then please support our Independent podcast production, go to www.buymeacoffee.com/dogpeople to buy us a (virtual) coffee as a one-time donation or recurring monthly membership.

A big thanks to Ernie Villany from Boulder Valley CPAs for spending time with us on this episode. Little known fact - he appeared on Late Night with David Letterman not once, but twice! Ernie talks about his big move from NY to Colorado. It was a big chance, and he had lots of chances for it not to work - but he talks about HOW he made it work. Did you always want to be an entrepreneur? - According to Ernie, it was hard to avoid, as it was always a family thing. What would he say makes him successful in what he does? Advising his clients is key to his firm, but his days working for the IRS has been priceless. You can't do it all yourself (although that is what got him to where he is today). Ernie talks about when he finally recognized he couldn't do it all himself One of the most important parts of recognizing you can't do it all by yourself is when you surround yourself with people "that are smarter than you." What was your biggest fear when making that transition to being an entrepreneur? So what is Ernie's superpower? Nope, not being the go-to CPA for David Letterman, as most would think - it's just being honest with his clients. We all have an end game - or will have one - what is Ernie's? Don't miss hearing from Brittany from his firm, on our https://player.captivate.fm/episode/7d1bdad6-0f30-4849-af86-315497000a18 (Working Moms podcast episode). And https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTu99Wusa9c&feature=youtu.be (here is Ernie) on Late Night with David Letterman. Running a business doesn't have to run your life. Without a business partner who holds you accountable, it's easy to be so busy ‘doing' business that you don't have the right strategy to grow your business. Stop letting your business run you.

After she had gotten several shoutouts on the podcast already, it was about time I interview the one and only Marissa Martino of Paws and Reward herself. Or rather, I got lucky enough to have her on the show.If I were you, I would listen to this show twice. There are so many gems in there.Listen to it once, just to absorb what Marissa is saying, and then listen again and ask yourself how what she says applies to you and your situation. It will be time well spent.Marissa describes how unlike many others on this podcast her road to dog training did not start with a challenging dog. Her dog training journey started before she ever had a dog.She now focuses heavily on the human end of the leash, and mindset in particular (can you guess why I wanted to talk to her?). The spark that lit that particular fire was provided by a therapist who managed to point out how strategies Marissa already used with her dog training clients could also apply in her own life.Once Pandora's box of parallels had been opened Marissa couldn't unsee these parallels between the connections with our dog and the connections we have with others and ourselves anymore. The rest as they say is history.We talk about the power of turning questions around. If I believe my client/dog is not listening to me, how is it true that I am not listening to them?About how knowledge is both power and very confronting and often uncomfortable. We talk about how that discomfort often leads us to play the blame game and the power of embracing discomfort.As I keep hearing conflicting opinions on whether LIMA (Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive) as a training philosophy is “good” or “bad”, because the humane hierarchy it is based on mentions positive punishment, I ask Marissa about that too.Fittingly enough, Marissa is also the first person on the show to describe which feeling the words expectation, frustration and celebration trigger for her.Of course, showing up throughout the story is Sully, who was a senior dog when he recently passed away.Links:Marissa's website: https://pawsandreward.com/Marissa on Instagram: @pawsandrewardMarissa's book, Human-Canine Behavior Connection: https://pawsandreward.com/book/Humane Society of Boulder Valley: https://www.boulderhumane.org/LIMA and the humane hierarchy: https://m.iaabc.org/about/lima/hierarchy/The Paws and Reward Podcast episode with Chris Pachel Marissa mentions detailing the humane hierarchy: Episode 47: The Humane Hierarchy with Dr. Chris PachelPet harmony offers mentorships for dog trainers: https://petharmonytraining.com/Sarah Stremming's website: https://thecognitivecanine.com/

This episode sees Ryan talking to Steve Pockross, CEO of Verblio, a multimedia content creation platform that powers modern content marketers and SEO agencies. Verblio was awarded two Inc 5000 growth company awards, six consecutive Mercury100 Awards for Fastest Growing Private Companies in the Boulder Valley, and also won a Colorado Companies to Watch award. Verblio acquired the video company Automagical in 2019 to expand its content offering and further engage audiences for its clients.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Over the last decade, content marketing as a channel has developed more as a channel than any other marketing channel. The only thing you can guarantee about digital marketing is its unpredictability. The best practice is using many different channels without spreading yourself thin. Defining exactly what traits you want from your team members means you can nurture talent of your own rather than hiring in a more expensive candidate because of their experience.  As a CEO, you have spent time creating the perfect team and building the company. In order to keep the company aligned to your original mission, you need to spend as much time engaged with your team members and keep it personal.   BEST MOMENTS ‘What could I do and what results could I see from them?'  ‘On our people's side we made a really big decision to hire young talent in, to hire for traits over experience.' ‘We hired her as an intern, she was a clear talent and she'd never managed one other person and we put her in charge of basically the main people business of the company.' ‘Always prioritize and cultural fit over skill set every step of the way because your magnet for talent as a bootstrapped company is making people want to be there with you.' ‘We're a content company. We want you to want to read our stuff.'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Scale Up Show - https://omny.fm/shows/the-scale-up-show   Apply for a Revenue Growth Consulting Session With Ryan Staley - https://www.scalerevenue.io/4-schedule-page1611678914248    Steve Pockross - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spockross    ABOUT THE SHOW How do you grow like a VC backed company without taking on investors?

The actress, who died on New Year's Eve, was an advocate for creatures great and small. In her honor, fans on social media started the Betty White Challenge, encouraging people to donate $5 to animal rescue organizations on Monday in celebration of what would have been White's 100th birthday. Denver's 9 News reports that animal groups in the region saw a massive increase in donations on Monday — the Humane Society of Boulder Valley raised at least $15,000 and the Denver Dumb Friends League brought in $23,000 from over 700 donors. At Foothills Animal Shelter, the facility received $16,300 from 529 donors; when there isn't a campaign going on, the organization said it typically gets less than $500 in donations.Learn How To Say No!Are you one of those people who say yes to everything, even if it means you are inconvenienced, or worse, put into a situation that is not good for you?WHY IS IT SO HARD TO SAY NO?Study by Vanessa K. Bohns, Cornell University“We are constantly influenced by others-other people regularly goad us into doing, saying, believing and buying things.”Our minds have been trained and conditioned to say yes.In this study (which lasted over a decade), 14,000 strangers were asked a variety of requests such as “can I borrow your phone?”, “Would you sponsor me for a race?”  More than half of the participants (60%) said yes. In another study done in 2014, participants asked strangers to vandalize a purported library book by writing the word “pickle” in pen on one of the pages. A number of individuals approached by our participants voiced their discomfort, expressing concern with getting into trouble, referring to the request as vandalism, and conveying a general reluctance to participate. Nevertheless, more than 64% agreed to vandalize the book—a far cry from requesters' prediction of 28% (Bohns et al., 2014)Keep in mind, both of the mentioned studies were done with strangers and not friend or family!!It is a perceived social norm to say yes to other people's requests, especially if they are family or friends. The key word in this statement is “PERCEIVED.”  People often say yes because they want to be accepted and appreciated. Childhood and adoles

A few months ago, a few BCBA's from the Boulder Valley School District reached out to me and offered to share the story of how they are fielding a team of Behavior Analysts in the public school setting. As someone who has spent a career consulting to public schools, I was instantly sold. I believe that as if this recording, the BVSD employs about 10 BCBA's, and in Session 139, I'm joined by four of them: Kelly Miller, Cosmina Barbat, Stephanie Gregory, and Shelly Roberts. We were also fortunate enough to be joined by their fearless leader, their Director of Special Education, Joy Larson. Someone who understood the value of developing internal behavior-analytic resources to support the district's students. In this episode we cover the following: How the district decided to invest in the hiring of internally placed behavior analysts. How the district BCBA's work collaboratively with professionals in other disciplines. How BCBA's support students not just with specialized educational and behavioral needs, but also in mainstream educational settings. How working as a public school employee is different than working in an at-home or clinic setting. And advice for schools that want to hire their own BCBA's, as well as advice for BCBA's who want to dip their toes into the public school waters. Lastly, I think the argument for having more Behavior Analysts in school settings speaks for itself. As we discuss in the interview, these amazing BCBA's have contributed to reducing Boulder Valley's out of district placements by 70%!

Before he was known as the Cat Daddy, Jackson was a shelter employee, working for the Humane Society of Boulder Valley in Colorado. He worked in several roles, including the front desk supervisor, interfacing with the public who came in to surrender their pets. It was during that time that his knack for working with cats became clear and set him on the path that would make him a household name and help millions better understand their cats through his Animal Planet TV show, My Cat from Hell. Jackson talks about his life as one of the most recognizable figures in the world of animals, what life has been like for him and his family during the pandemic, and what he says is the most effective way to help cats who are waiting for their forever home.

Alyssa and Raymond talk with two middle school principals about their experiences leading their staffs and students through the COVID-19 pandemic. Julie Stephens is in her first year as principal of Skinner Middle School in Denver Public Schools, a job she comes to with 20 years of experience as a high school administrator and teacher. Joining Julie is Jim Butterfield of Bookcliff Middle School in Grand Junction. This is Jim's 7th year as principal of Bookcliff, having previously served as an administrator and teacher in the Boulder Valley and St. Vrain Valley school districts.

Last week we began a conversation with Lindsay Wood Brown. Lindsay is a member of the Clicker Expo faculty. She is a board-certified applied animal behaviorist (ACAAB) with a master's degree in animal behavior. She is a Karen Pryor Academy (KPA) course developer and has served as a KPA faculty member since 2012. Lindsay consults for animal shelters across the country. She previously served as the Director of Operations for Lynchburg Humane Society in Virginia and as the Director of Animal Training and Behavior for the Humane Society of Boulder Valley in Boulder, Colorado. The shelter work means for certain protocols Lindsay has seen hundreds of case histories. That’s the experience we wanted to draw on in this discussion of counter conditioning. At the end of part one we were stressing how important it is to adapt any of the protocols you read about to the individual you are working with. We pick up there as we look at counter conditioning from an operant perspective.

Dr. Andi's World Radio Show Dr. Andi is diving into another polarizing topic this week, talking about No Kill policy with her Special Guest, Marissa Martino.  Where do you stand in the ‘no kill’ conversation? Is it actually the best policy? Does it solve anything? Or does it create more issues than it is supposed to solve? And what else could we acknowledge - and co-create - with shelter animals? Join the conversation as Dr. Andi and Marissa invite you to some new awareness and different possibilities. Inspired by her adventures with her dog, Sully, Marissa Martino began her career working with our canine companions after attending the Academy of Dog Trainers in 2007.  After graduation, she started working for the Humane Society of Boulder Valley in Boulder, CO as their behavior & training coordinator.  During her time there, Marissa implemented a behavior modification program for shelter dogs with various special needs: such as fear, separation anxiety, resource guarding and dog-dog aggression.    After 2 years of working at the shelter, Marissa moved back to San Francisco, where she worked as the Training Programs Manager of SF Puppy Prep.  She used her extensive shelter experience to educate the public on the power of socialization and prevention of behavioral issues for puppies.   In 2011, she accepted the position as the Director of Behavior & Training for the East Bay SPCA in Oakland, CA.  She implemented a behavior modification program for the shelter dogs and cats as well as nine successful volunteer programs.  The program was recognized in Animal Sheltering magazine and in 2014, she presented at the Humane Society of United States Annual Conference on developing volunteer programs to help enrich the lives of shelter dogs. In addition to owning Paws & Reward, Marissa is also the Behavior Manager at the Dumb Friends League in Denver.  Marissa is certified through the Academy for Dog Trainers and the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers.  She is also a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers.

Jackson Galaxy, aka "The Cat Daddy" is the Host & Executive Director of Animal Planet's long-running hit show My Cat From Hell. With over 20 years of experience as a cat behavior and wellness consultant, he's also a two-time New York times best-selling author. Jackson, a life-long musician, discovered his passion for cats and his unique ability to help them while on staff at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley for the better part of a decade. He worked with cats both in the shelter, as well as in the homes of guardians threatening to send their cats to the shelter. During this time, Jackson co-founded Spirit Essences, a line of holistic remedies for animals that remains a vital business to this day. Animal Planet premiered My Cat From Hell in 2011. An immediate hit, it has followed The Cat Daddy for eight top rated seasons as he makes house calls to pet guardians and their cats. Jackson's presence offers clients a deeper understanding of why cats act out, with insights and exercises from his unique "Cat Mojo" philosophy. Jackson's first book, Cat Daddy: What the World's Most Incorrigible Cat Taught Me About Life, Love, and Coming Clean was a memoir published in 2012. His second book, co-authored with cat style expert Kate Benjamin, was Catification: Designing a Happy & Stylish Home for Your Cat (and You!). Upon its release in 2014, it reached #1 on the New York Times Animal Bestseller list. Jackson and Kate struck Bestseller gold again with Catify to Satisfy: Simple Solutions for Creating a Cat-Friendly Home, published in Fall 2015, inspiring and teaching cat guardians how to beautify their homes and address common cat behavior problems at the same time. His latest book, Total Cat Mojo, is due out for a holiday 2017 release. In the pet products world, a line of innovative cat items, from toys to carriers -- co-designed by Jackson -- is available through Petmate Pet Products. Called the Jackson Galaxy Collection, the line has received the Industry Recognition Award from Pet Business Magazine and the Editor's Choice Award from Cat Fancy, honors that ranked it among 2014's best products for cats. True to his goal of helping save the 4 million+ animals who die in shelters each year, Jackson is intensifying his work for animals through the Jackson Galaxy Foundation whose mission is to better the lives of at-risk animals by transforming the places they live and helping the people who care for them. Featured on 20/20, The Today Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Tonight Show, EXTRA, The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post and more, Jackson's ability to connect with even the most troubled felines -- and the stressed-out humans living in their wake -- is awe-inspiring.

This episode is extra special because we had Erika Meitner, winner of the National Poetry Series and professor at Virginia Tech. She is currently working on a “documentary poetry project” on the 2016 Republican National Convention...   Welcome to Episode 18 of the PBQ’s Slush Pile! This episode is extra special because we had guest, Erika Meitner, winner of the National Poetry Series and professor at Virginia Tech. She is currently working on a “documentary poetry project” on the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland for Virginia Quarterly Review.   All of the poems we’ll consider on today’s episode were submitted by Maureen Seaton: "West Ho," "West Ho 2," & "Love in the Time of Snow." Maureen Seaton currently lives in three states of art—Florida, New Mexico, and Colorado (ocean, desert, mountain range)—all bordering on our next-door neighbors, the world. We start with the “West Ho,” and Tim points out that the poet’s use of specific facts ultimately aids the piece. The wonderful descriptions of sunshine from Jersey to Colorado warms us up to this poem. We go on to discuss “West Ho 2,” a seeming counterpart. This poem brings nods to the Jersey accent, and leaves us wondering who Lizzy Tish is. The “constellation of places” keeps us “tawlking” about this one for a bit longer than “West Ho.” We were all a little intimidated by the French in “Love in the Time of Snow,” but Erika reads for us using her “Jersey French.” We love the historical allusions in this poem, and Jason, who grew up in a military family, recounts for us the story of Lafayette in the Revolutionary War. You can listen to Maureen read her poem “Hybrid” at the University of Miami here, and at a POG reading with collaborator Sam Ace here.

Who cares? The sun’s   not racing against itself, why should it? I will not be buried in Elizabethport nor   one of the Oranges like the rest of my clan. My body will not be flown home in a crate   to be clucked over by who knows which Irish relatives. The way the sun rises here,   clanging its huge cowbell, easing the East right out of you, you’d think everybody’d   be tinted silt and rouge and worshipping The Bright Solar Prince of the Solar Palace.   (Who?) I’m but one who recently drifted from old New Jersey, the 27th sunniest state   where the sun shines 56% of the time. Don’t underestimate the operatic trill and maw   of this western sun as it blazes over you and laughs behind the Rockies. It will draw   you to it and sear you like a steak, Jersey girl, Golden Guernsey, little pail of milk.    West Ho 2 I also live in the state of New Mexico, the second sunniest state, and in Florida, the eighth. I live in three places but I don’t have three faces. This is not exactly a metaphor, yet I can see the metaphor coming at me, a satellite in the hard dark sky.   Deputy Azevedo placed Dexter’s head in an evidence bag and took it out to his cruiser: the last words I read as I fell asleep last night.   Here in Colorado everyone skis obsessively on Sunday. People break their legs and arms and sometimes their necks.   I’m feeling a little Jersey today.   Don’t get me talking about dogs or coffee.   There are no real characters in this poem, only those who have escaped from Totawa.   Lizzy Tish, for example.   Lizzy will not be buried in Totowa nor Newark nor Hoboken. Her musical body will be laid to rest somewhere on the plains of Colorado.   Personally, I both do and don’t believe in the efficacy of death and dying.   Eggcream, potsy, stoop, stickball.   These are some of the words a Jersey girl might remember while under the influence of the Colorado sun.   Her musical body will be buried in Boulder Valley under the lid of a baby grand piano, her soul accompanied into the afterlife by a flashmob of multigenerational percussionists.     Love in the Time of Snow Poem Lafayette, Colorado   People who live here speak very little French.   Lafayette, nous voilà! they sometimes say.   Although Lafayette, famous Hero of Two   Worlds, (our world et le monde de Lafayette)   never skied much past the bunny slope and   few remember him slip- ping bourbon in cocoa   after snowboarding— in fact, few remember   him at all—it’s still historical as hell here,   a veritable winter love- fest de la révolution,   hippies and nobles lug- ing down the Rockies.
