Join host Nancy Griffin as she interviews Isabella Solano, the founder of Herralink, a nonprofit connecting high school students with senior community residents. Discover how Isabella's journey began and the transformative impact of her work and her vision for the future, aiming to embed Herralink within school systems and expand its reach nationwide.About IsabellaIsabella Solano is the founder of Herralink, an intergenerational organization that connects high school students with residents in senior communities. She's worked with 40 high schools in Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun County to connect 900 volunteers with nearly 2,000 older adults. Herralink was recently acquired by Goodwin Living, where she'll work to expand its volunteer base in Alexandria, Falls Church, and Arlington. In the future, she hopes to scale her program across the country to create more friendships between the ages.Key TakeawaysHerralink connects high school students with residents in senior communities, coordinating directly with high school principals.Intergenerational programming reduces loneliness for both young adults and older adults.The program has more than 900 registered volunteers from 40 different high schools, connected them with 2,000 residents in 12 senior communities.Herralink's services include one-hour activities for students to do arts and crafts, bingo, games, or chit chat sessions with residents, and a more meaningful one-on-one program where students connect with one resident identified as having little to no visitors.The loneliness that young adults experience in compounded by “digital echo chambers” that lack meaningful connection.

If you suspect a local or state official is on the take or see another example of potential fraud or abuse in state or local government, Jeffrey S. Shapiro wants to hear about it.Shapiro is the Commonwealth's inspector general and, in that role, oversees a department of 100 who make sure state and local officials follow proper procurement regulations and good governance practices. Shapiro recently stopped by the WHAV studio and appeared live on “Win for Breakfast” as part of a listening and education tour in Eastern Massachusetts. He explained the role of his office and its power.“I really think it is incredibly important for the public to know what we do because, in essence, we are their eyes and their ears within government. And if they see something, we certainly are interested to have them notify us,” Shapiro said.In a recent example Shapiro's office ordered the Town of Barre to tighten its timekeeping and payroll practices after receiving a tip that its director of Department of Public Works, Jason Pimental, was working a full-time job for the state during the same hours he had been hired to work for the town. In another case closer to home, Shapiro's office handled an extensive investigation of the Methuen Police Department after questions were raised over former Police Chief Joseph E. Solomon's high salary and his handling of promotions outside civil service rules, among other issues.Shapiro encouraged the public to call his office's fraud hotline at 800-322-1323 or to email IGO-FightFraud@Mass.gov with tips, which can be left anonymously.Shapiro explained the state inspector general is appointed jointly by the governor, state attorney general and state auditor for a five-year term which can be renewed once. Shapiro will mark his third year in the post next month. Once appointed, state officials have no oversight over the inspector general's office, making the inspector general's office a non-partisan, independent agency.While investigations are his office's bread and butter, he said, he is encouraging education to prevent fraud in the first place.“I think the better way to do it is to focus on engaging with our stakeholders, educating them on what it is that they can do correctly and how to do things correctly with procurement, governance and the other kinds of things that we are concerned with and then, as a last resort, we do investigations and compliance,” Shapiro said.To help educate public officials, the Inspector General's office offers certification classes through its OIG Academy for public employees as well as private workers who bid on state and municipal jobs. Currently school districts are offered free tuition for one employee to take its classes to be certified as a Massachusetts Certified Public Purchasing Official.While his office has limited enforcement powers, he said, just making sure the public and city and town officials are aware of fraud and abuse as well as good governance practices is a powerful tool.“Really bringing something to light, writing about it, making sure the public is aware of it, making sure the local officials and those who oversee those areas of government. It matters,” Shapiro said.Support the show

Also, a conversation about the MAGA attempt to deny the existence of the trans-Atlantic slave trade elicits this confession from Jack: "I don't know how to combat stupid." But he goes on to do a good job at it, nonetheless. Jack is a former columnist and editor for Time, among other publications.

We know vaping has become a huge problem especially for pre-teens, teenagers and college aged students. National statistics in 2024, show more than 10% of high school students and close to 6% of middle school students reported using any tobacco product in the past 30 days, with e-cigarettes being the most common product used. A massive company now headquartered in Stamford is focused on combatting youth access to all tobacco and nicotine products. We spoke with J.B. Simko, Philip Morris International's U.S. Chief Civil Society & Underage Prevention Officer. For more information: https://www.uspmi.com/ Image Credit: Getty Images

Always visible, but feeling unseen. At Second First, we hear this all the time from seconds-in-command: “I'm running the company. I'm making the decisions. I'm keeping the team on track… but I don't feel seen.” It's a hard feeling to name, but it's real. You're essential to the business, yet your impact is often invisible. This invisibility shows up in two ways. First, your contributions don't always get recognized, because smooth operations and prevented crises rarely make headlines. And second, you may feel like no one at work truly knows you as a person. It's a strange loneliness: surrounded by people all day, yet carrying the sense that the “real you” isn't visible. You'll hear all about: 00:28 — The paradox of being a second-in-command: running operations yet feeling unseen. 01:16 — Two dimensions of invisibility: lack of recognition for contributions and not being known personally. 01:43 — Why your best work often feels invisible: preventing crises, aligning teams, and acting as the "glue." 02:40 — How wins get attributed to others—and why that's by design for team development. 03:15 — Why founders struggle to articulate your value (and the absence of formal reviews). 04:04 — The emotional toll: loneliness, wearing a mask, and feeling like no one knows the “real you.” 05:07 — Why this matters: the cycle of over-communicating, second-guessing, or retreating into tactical work. 06:28 — Three strategies to feel more seen: Work Out Loud — Track and share decisions and their impact. Think Out Loud — Make your strategic thinking audible in meetings. Personal Value Statement — Create a one-sentence mission for your role. 10:41 — A mindset shift: some of your best work will always be invisible—and that's part of your power. 11:19 — Combatting loneliness: finding peers who understand your role through community.   Rate, review & follow on Apple Podcasts Click Here to Listen!

According to the CDC, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience physical violence by their intimate partner at some point during their lifetimes. About 1 in 3 women and nearly 1 in 6 men experience some form of sexual violence during their lifetimes. It's no secret; domestic violence continues to be a real problem nationwide and Connecticut is not immune to it. We spoke about this with President and CEO of the Center for Family Justice, Deb Greenwood. We also got the details on the upcoming 28th Annual Speaking of Women luncheon happening September 9th.  For tickets to Speaking of Women: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/speakingofwomen2025/event/sow2025/ Image Credit: Melissa Sheketoff

Hamid Ghanadan, CEO at LINUS, reports on their recent State of Science research that tracks scientists' sentiment, funding expectations, and barriers to their work. Key findings reveal that the politicization of science and erosion of public trust in science threaten to slow innovation rates and negatively impact public access to accurate information. The survey also shows a direct negative impact on scientists' morale, job satisfaction, and creativity. We talk about: The growing perception of the public that science is not real Sources of public distrust of scientific information When scientists become politically active  Need for more direct communication from the scientists and life science leaders to make complex topics more understandable and relevant Opportunity for researchers, institutions, vendors, and advocacy groups to recognize these issues and take responsibility to improve the communication of accurate health and medical information to a broader audience #TheLINUSGroup #Scientists #MedicalResearchers #PublicTrust #PoliticizationofScience #HealthcareInformation #MedicalInformation  TheLINUSGroup.com

The biggest evergreen issue in the ATM industry is of course security. Criminals are always ready with innovative methods to steal cash from ATMs faster than the industry can put up protective barriers.This is true of both the ATM hardware and software. In today's episode of the Bank Customer Experience podcast, Bradley Cooper spoke with Kit Patterson, a senior software architecture and security expert at KAL ATM Software to get an overhead view of current theft trends and ways to combat them.One new method that Patterson discussed was the relay attack. In this attack, one device is compromised is relays card data to another machine, which can be used to steal money from a victim."The basic story is they use two machines. They attack two machines in parallel. They wait until a victim puts a card into that victim ATM or ticket machine or anything where a card is being used. They take over that card and they relay information from that card to the cash out machine."He said that while this attack is difficult to pull off, it can also be challenging to detect and would require monitoring for certain types of unusual activity. For example, the software could detect that the card reader itself would take longer to transmit data in a relay attack than in a normal transaction, which should put up a red flag.Patterson also said that this relay attack is also taking place with mobile wallet fraud, where attackers are able to steal the victim's mobile wallet and relay that information to another actor who will get the cash from an ATM.He emphasized that criminals are willing to use as many methods as possible as "they don't follow the rules."To respond to these threats, Patterson pointed to the importance of holistic efforts and not just viewing security as "ticking boxes."Check out the full interview above and hear Patteron's thoughts on if AI is ready to transform ATM security.

Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, nominated by President Trump to become the next US special envoy for combatting antisemitism, calls into the show to express frustration with Senate delays, noting that over 150 qualified nominees—including himself—are being held up due to political gridlock. The conversation shifts to the alarming global rise in anti-Semitism, including violent acts, misleading media portrayals, and widespread ignorance about Jewish history. Both men criticize the New York City education system and Mayor Eric Adams for failing to educate students about the Holocaust and American history, while allowing questionable curriculum like jihad studies. They condemn the growing popularity of anti-Israel figures like Zohran Mamdani and lament that many American Jews are disconnected from Israel. Kaploun praises the Trump administration for taking serious steps to protect religious freedom and Jewish students, urging a bipartisan effort to fight hate and promote dignity for all.

The following may contain sensitive topics, listener discretion is advised. For the past few years, the Million Kids Team has explored the challenges related to global financial sextortion of our kids. It is truly a pandemic with many victims and many kids who pay the ultimate price. One of the discussions we have had is centered around the role that schools and educators can or should play in prevention and intervention of sextortion cases. The discussions often center around the idea that most sextortion victims are school- age-kids and most kids get introduced to online digital activity at schools. And yet, at this writing, there is no centralized approach to intervention if a student is being blackmailed, and there is no safe haven for a young person to report when they are in a crisis. Add to this issue the fact that now, some of the students are accessing “nudify” sites and using AI to create “deepfake” images of other students. The victims of “deepfake” images also are victims of digital exploitation and it is a crime to do so. Our first thoughts is that this is a global epidemic as developing countries come online and access our kids. The blackmail can be so extreme, most victims are severely distraught. This is a a somewhat new criminal trend and most school leadership is not prepared to deal with it. During this podcast we review the suggestions from the U.K. educators and outline the challenges for educators.

Guest Bio: For 15 years, Jenny has been a formidable force in the fight against sex-trafficking. With a deep commitment to supporting victims and providing advocacy, she has dedicated her career to training and empowering survivors, advocates, and communities to combat trafficking. Overcoming her own exploitation, she launched into the antitrafficking movement with a vision to create sustainable, collaborative, and holistic approaches to abolish modern-day slavery. She has successfully established herself as an expert in counter-trafficking efforts and survivor empowerment and continues to contribute to the advancement of the global anti-trafficking movement.    Show Summary: Have you ever thought about where you're buying things from? Human trafficking is one of the most evil and secretive business models in the world. Unknowingly, you could be buying items made by people trapped in modern- day slavery. Jenny Barber is passionate about raising awareness of human exploitation because she was a victim of it for most of her childhood. Her and her husband, Robert, started Talitha Coffee Roasters to give human trafficking survivors a path for healing and restoration. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn more about Jenny's story and the founding of her business during this God Hears Her conversation.     Notes and Quotes:   “The inspiration for the name [Talitha Coffee Roasters] is because we want to see people coming from the darkest places and situations, rising from a place of desperation and hopelessness into abundance and life.” —Jenny Barber   “Before I had heard anybody talk about God, I had an awareness that there was a God. Because in those moments where it was desperate and hopeless, I would feel the presence of God and know that I was not alone.” —Jenny Barber  “I only am where I am today because there were people who were willing to find me in my most desperate of situations and reach out and tell me that I had value on my life.” —Jenny Barber  “Because I came from such brokenness, I knew I needed help. I knew I needed a lifeline . . . even when I look back and see the darkest of situations, I see God's hand on my life.” —Jenny Barber  “There is this relentless pursuit throughout [Scripture] with God pursuing His people. It was the same thing on my life—God was relentlessly pursuing me and reaching out to me.” —Jenny Barber     Verses:   Luke 18:25    Links:   Talitha Coffee Website: https://talitha.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqjVOH9xXwHD1PLLiOyCbZZnwOIs5piJxXREwVRSGw3PvCnIU5j  Talitha Coffee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talithacoffeeroasters/  Human Trafficking Hotline: 888-373-7888  Human Trafficking Awareness Website: https://humantraffickinghotline.org/en  God Hears Her website: https://godhearsher.org/  God Hears Her email sign-up: https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc   Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast  Elisa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/  Eryn's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/  Vivian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/  Our Daily Bread Ministries website: https://www.odbm.org/
