There are only about 76 daily newspapers left in America that are not owned by a major corporate chain or billionaire-backed private owner.Seventy-six.In a country with more than 19,000 cities, towns, and villages, that number should stop us in our tracks.Chapters06:43 The State of Local Journalism09:15 Challenges of Independent Voices14:17 Reflecting Community Voices16:01 The Role of Local Journalism17:41 The Impact of Digital Disruption19:26 The Soul of a Newspaper22:55 Community Engagement and Trust24:52 Building Relationships with Public Officials27:44 Navigating AI in Journalism44:46 Engaging Voters and Civic Responsibility53:17 The Future of Print vs. Online Journalism59:01 The Importance of Supporting Local News01:02:17 The Importance of Content in Media01:03:05 Engagement and Community ActionIn this episode of the American Dream Factory Podcast, Nick Smoot and Joe Toney sit down with Clint Schroeder, President and Publisher at Hagadone Media, for a conversation about local journalism, civic trust, the First Amendment, AI, news deserts, and why every community still needs someone watching, listening, verifying, and telling the truth.Clint oversees newspapers, magazines, and media properties across the Inland Pacific Northwest, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Hawaii. After nearly 30 years in the industry, he has watched newspapers move from being the dominant civic voice in town to fighting for survival in a world shaped by Craigslist, Cars.com, social media, shrinking newsrooms, and now AI.But Clint does not talk about newspapers with nostalgia. He talks about them as mission.Local newspapers are not just businesses. They are civic infrastructure. They are archivists, watchdogs, conveners, mirrors, and defenders of the First Amendment. They record the story of a place. They cover school boards, city councils, local elections, public institutions, infrastructure fights, community victories, and warning signs that no national outlet will ever care enough to cover.And when they disappear, the information does not disappear.The verification disappears.The context disappears.The accountability disappears.Clint makes the case that healthy local media is one of the last remaining foundations of healthy civic life. As he says in the conversation, the press is the only industry named directly in the U.S. Constitution. That means newspapers carry a responsibility that goes far beyond content, clicks, ads, or subscriptions.Nick, Joe, and Clint explore what happens when a community loses its paper, why opinion pages and letters to the editor still matter, how local media can preserve balanced civic conversation, and why communities should not take their local newspaper for granted.They also discuss the difference between real reporting and content generation, why AI should not replace original journalism, how young people consume news, and what it would take to rebuild local news in places that have become news deserts.

In this spirited episode, the challenges and paradoxes of modern leadership are brought to the forefront, grounded in the world of philanthropy. My guest this week, Glen Galaich, author of the provocative book Control: Why Big Giving Falls Short and CEO of the Stupski Foundation, invites listeners to reconsider the myths surrounding control, generosity, and decision-making. He makes the compelling case about how organizational norms, incentives, and personal ego can unintentionally limit positive impact, even in the most purpose-driven organizations.During out discussion, we reflect on tough questions: What's the real difference between intentions and measurable outcomes? How do process, relationships, and results shape lasting change? Through first-hand stories and data, this episode reveals how well-meaning leaders too often mistake intention for impact and how letting go of control, building clear processes, and inviting feedback can dramatically enhance outcomes.For executives, nonprofit leaders, and anyone invested in meaningful change, this episode offers actionable advice: embrace self-awareness, question inherited processes, and trust the people closest to the work. It's a call to action for listeners to examine their own patterns and to move beyond good intentions to do good by leading well.What You'll Learn- The importance of letting go of control for greater impact.- Rethinking thoughtful giving.- Process, results, relationships: The leadership triad.- The temptation of control when doing good.- The power of systems, incentives, and leadership norms.- Lead with empathy across difference.- The critical role of self-awareness: Feedback as a gift.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Welcome to the Show and Guest Introduction(00:03:13) - The Motivation Behind "Control"(00:10:00) - Control, Psychological Safety, and Power in Leadership(00:14:29) - Process, Results, Relationships: The Leadership Triad(00:17:38) - Misconceptions and Accountability in Leadership(00:22:04) - The Temptation of Control When Doing Good(00:30:02) - Leading with Empathy Across Differences(00:34:14) - Systems, Incentives, and Leadership Norms(00:38:16) - The Critical Role of Self-Awareness(00:42:59) - Leading Through Uncertainty(00:47:33) - Key Mindset Shifts: Moving from Intention to ImpactKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Philanthropy, Thoughtful Giving, Community Engagement, Control Mindset, Process in Organizations, Psychological Safety, Accountability, Feedback, Ego in Leadership, Power Dynamics, Self Awareness, Organizational Culture, Social Impact, Norms and Incentives, Empathy, Letting Go, Impact versus Intention, CEO Success

This week's guest is Val Haller, Founder and Co-producer of Winnetka Music Festival, a local Chicago music fest celebrating its 10th Anniversary. The festival takes place this week, June 19-20 and features a stellar lineup with headliners Father John Misty, Trombone Shorty, Grace Potter and Futurebirds among other fantastic acts. Throughout her career in music, Val has embodied a vibrant can-do spirit. She founded Val's List in 2007 which seeks to connect “busy adults” with new music from emerging artists. It uncovered a wonderful niche of music lovers who were looking for something new— and it was a massive success! She then morphed her passion into Living Room shows, which then ultimately became one of the most successful local Chicago festivals when she founded Winnetka Music Festival in 2017. Now partnered with Space Evanston, Val continues to foster emerging young artists and to that end, Val has founded the Just Listen Foundation to lend financial support to young touring artists.Val's passion, enthusiasm, drive and commitment is truly inspiring. She talks to me about the key moments along the way, and what the future holds. I loved learning more about Val, and you will learn a ton from her experience and unique perspective on the music world.=======================================Chapters:00:00 - Episode intro with Host Josh Rosenberg 05:00 - Val's early career and motivation behind Val's List 10:00 - Impact of industry analysis and media features 11:00 - Transition from playlisting to live events 15:00 - Building community through house concerts 20:00 - Collaborations with booking agents and brands 25:00 - Insights on festival development and partnerships 30:00 - Logistical challenges and audience engagement strategies 35:00 - The inception and evolution of the Winnetka Music Festival 40:00 - Success stories of artists who grew through the festival 45:00 - The festival's setting, logistics, and community impact 50:00 - Safety, ticketing, and operational lessons learned 55:00 - Future plans including foundation and expanding support for artists 01:02:00 - Final thoughts on connecting artists and audiences through community events 01:06:00 - Closing remarks and thanks01:08:08 - Episode wrap-up with Host Josh Rosenberg=======================================For more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

What happens when a nonprofit thinks it's ready for a capital campaign—but discovers it still has critical groundwork to complete before moving forward?In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein sits down with Jacqueline House, Vice President for Communications and Community Engagement at Safe Children Coalition, and Paula Peter, Capital Campaign Pro Campaign Advisor, to explore the remarkable story behind a campaign that grew from an initial $3 million goal to nearly $10 million raised for a new youth shelter serving vulnerable children across Florida's Suncoast region.Safe Children Coalition serves more than 10,000 children each year through foster care, adoption, prevention, and diversion programs. Faced with the need to replace an aging youth shelter originally built in 1959, the organization embarked on a capital campaign that would ultimately far exceed its original fundraising expectations. But the path to success wasn't straightforward.Jacqueline shares how her organization initially believed it was already in campaign mode when, in reality, important campaign planning and donor development work still needed to be completed. Rather than rushing ahead, the organization made the difficult decision to pause for six months and focus on strengthening the foundation necessary for long-term campaign success.Listeners will learn why strategic pauses are often a sign of campaign strength—not weakness—and how organizations can use these periods to clarify project plans, secure key assets, build internal alignment, strengthen campaign leadership, and prepare compelling answers to donor questions.The conversation also explores one of the most important shifts in modern capital campaign fundraising: the evolution of the feasibility study process. Jacqueline explains how conducting donor interviews herself, rather than relying on an outside consultant, helped her build meaningful relationships with prospective major donors, gain candid feedback, and increase both her confidence and effectiveness as a fundraiser.Paula offers a fascinating perspective from her decades-long career in campaign consulting. Having conducted traditional confidential feasibility study interviews since the early 1990s, she candidly discusses why she initially resisted the guided feasibility study model and what ultimately convinced her that empowering nonprofit leaders to conduct their own donor conversations produces stronger fundraising outcomes and more confident campaign leaders.The episode also provides valuable insights for nonprofit executives, development directors, and campaign volunteers working in organizations with limited fundraising infrastructure. Jacqueline describes how she navigated a campaign with a relatively small development operation, a board that was supportive but inexperienced in fundraising, and a leadership team that was simultaneously managing a major construction project.Whether you're planning your first capital campaign, evaluating campaign readiness, considering a feasibility study, or looking for strategies to strengthen donor relationships, this episode offers practical lessons and real-world insights from a nonprofit that transformed its fundraising capacity while successfully completing a major campaign.If you're preparing for a capital campaign or looking to improve your campaign strategy, this conversation offers valuable guidance from leaders who successfully navigated the challenges and opportunities of a transformational fundraising effort.

This week, host Margaret Walls welcomes Celso Ferreira and Elizabeth Van Dolah on the podcast to talk about building resilience in coastal communities that are vulnerable to sea level rise. Ferreira, a professor at George Mason University, and Van Dolah, an environmental anthropologist and community engagement expert, were members of an interdisciplinary research team that aimed to construct nature-based solutions to flooding problems in the rural municipality of Pocomoke City, Maryland. Throughout the process, the team consulted with an advisory committee of community members who weighed in on the project—and the local input shaped the researchers' conclusions in surprising ways. In this episode, Ferreira and Van Dolah reflect on how continuous engagement with impacted communities can help identify overlooked ecosystem values and result in improved outcomes for people and the surrounding environment.

In this episode of the Living to 100 Club, Dr. Joe Casciani speaks with Amanda Montague of Carleton University about her innovative, community-based research on social isolation and loneliness among older adults. Also on the program is Anna Cuylits, Chair of the Senior Watch Old Ottawa South (SWOOS). Working closely with Anna's group in Ottawa, Amanda used participatory methods—including workshops, digital storytelling, and social network mapping—to better understand how older adults experience connection in everyday life. Rather than focusing only on isolation, the project explored what helps people feel connected, revealing an important insight: loneliness may be more prevalent—and more complex—than social isolation alone. Their conversation highlights how social connection is shaped not just by relationships, but also by the design of communities—walkable spaces, accessible transportation, and simple features like places to rest. To better understand social connection in older adults, they also explore the role of informal networks of care, community partnerships, and the need for better coordination among organizations that support aging in place. This episode offers practical insights for professionals, caregivers, and communities seeking to move beyond awareness and take meaningful steps to strengthen connection and well-being in later life. Mini Bios Amanda Montague Amanda received her PhD from the University of Ottawa in 2019. Her dissertation, Mobile Memories: Canadian Cultural Memory in the Digital Age, explored how mobile technologies and locative media shape everyday experiences of memory and place. From 2019 to 2022, she held a postdoctoral fellowship in Digital Storytelling at the Sherman Centre for Digital Scholarship at McMaster University, where she collaborated with librarians and information specialists to support digital scholarship through teaching, consultations, and digital tool workshops. She later joined McMaster's Office of Community Engagement as an Educational Developer for Community-Engaged Teaching and Learning. Amanda has extensive experience developing community-engaged and experiential learning courses as an instructor, collaborator, and consultant. Since 2016, she has designed projects in digital humanities that promote creativity, collaboration, and community-building. Her work has included supporting students in developing community storytelling projects using tools such as podcasting, digital exhibits, mapping, GIS, and social media. In her current role at Carleton University as Postdoctoral Fellow for Community Engaged Digital Humanities and StudioDH, Amanda continues to advance interdisciplinary, community-driven digital scholarship while fostering equitable co-teaching and co-learning environments for students, instructors, and community members. Anna Cuylits Anna is Chair of OSCA Senior Watch Old Ottawa South (SWOOS). She retired in 2012 after a 40-year career in community and hospital social work. Wanting to age in place in her inner urban community of Old Ottawa South, Anna and other residents recognized barriers to healthy aging and independent living. In 2018, they founded SWOOS to raise awareness and advocate for improvements in healthcare, housing, social connection, and winter walkability. Under Anna's leadership, SWOOS has published dozens of articles on safe and healthy aging, conducted winter walkability audits to support advocacy for improved city maintenance standards, helped support development of the Seniors Health Innovations Hub, and successfully advocated for community improvements including an intergenerational chat bench and an additional city bus stop. SWOOS also received a 2024 Community Builders Award and is currently collaborating with Carleton University on projects examining social connections and barriers affecting older adults. Anna graduated from the Academy of Social Sciences and Social Work in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and has held professional social work registrations in British Columbia, Ontario, and nationally in Canada. In 2025, she received the Ontario Senior Achievement Award. Link to Ottawa South Social Connections Project

Fitness is evolving—and it's becoming about a lot more than workouts. In this episode of The Fitness League Podcast, we dive into the growing shift toward community-driven fitness, the powerful impact of social connection on long-term health, and why relationships may be just as important as nutrition and exercise when it comes to living well. We also share personal travel stories, family travel hacks, and lessons learned from balancing health, fitness, and connection while navigating busy seasons of life. Along the way, we discuss how the future of fitness is moving away from isolation and toward shared experiences, accountability, and meaningful community. From group challenges and fitness events to simple daily interactions, we explore how connection influences motivation, mental health, longevity, and overall well-being—and why modern life may be pushing people further away from what humans actually need most. If you've ever felt disconnected, burned out, or stuck trying to do everything alone, this conversation will remind you that health isn't just built in the gym—it's built through the people you surround yourself with. Because stronger communities create stronger people.   L5 Health Score Quiz https://score.lvltnhealth.com/ The Fitness League app https://www.fitnessleagueapp.com/ Join the Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lvltncoaching Alessandra's Instagram: http://instagram.com/alessandrascutnik Joelle's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joellesamantha?igsh=ZnVhZjFjczN0OTdn Josh's Instagram: http://instagram.com/joshscutnik   Chapters 00:00 Welcome to the Fitness League Podcast 00:57 Traveling with Kids: Tips and Tricks 05:53 Experiencing San Diego: A Family Perspective 10:53 The Future of Fitness: Community and Wellness Trends 13:11 Emerging Fitness Trends and Community Engagement 14:30 The Shift in Fitness Expos and Community Dynamics 16:22 The Rise of Community in Fitness Culture 18:03 Building Deeper Connections Through Fitness 21:17 Exploring Wellness Retreats and Group Activities 23:42 The Importance of Social Interaction in Fitness 28:57 Finding Your Community and Building Connections

He discusses the role of mentorship, ongoing learning, and how collaboration with publishers and editors can reshape a project through new perspectives on sequencing and editing.

In this episode of Scratch, Viren sits down with Misbah Uraizee from Nectar Social to dismantle one of marketing's most persistent myths. The truth? Organic and paid media are complementary engines, and brands that still silo them are leaving serious growth on the table.

In this episode, we cover: The Post-iOS 14 Reality: Why the entire class of brands built on cheap paid ads simply no longer exists. Year-One CPG Playbooks: What the fastest-growing brands actually do in their first year (hint: it has nothing to do with media spend). Killing Vanity Metrics: Why follower count is the metric that refuses to die—and what you should be measuring instead. TikTok Shop's True Role: How to properly integrate it into your modern marketing mix. Measuring the Unmeasurable: How to spot the "halo effects" that prove social is working before the revenue data catches up.
