In this episode of Next in Media, I sit down with Kiri Masters, host of the Retail Media Breakfast Club podcast, to explore the biggest shifts happening in retail media advertising. We dive into the recent announcement about ads coming to ChatGPT and what that means for brands trying to meet consumers where they are. Kiri shares her perspective on whether AI-powered shopping will truly disrupt the retail media landscape - and why she's optimistic that LLM-based ads could actually be more relevant and less annoying than traditional formats. We also unpack the Walmart-Google partnership and discuss what it signals about the future of conversational commerce.Beyond the AI conversation, we tackle some of the industry's most pressing questions. Will we see consolidation in retail media networks this year? Can shoppable TV finally gain traction? And what happens when offsite retail media faces competition from platforms with their own transactional data? Kiri brings both historical context - including a fascinating story about Piggly Wiggly's self-service revolution - and forward-looking insights about how brands and retailers need to collaborate differently. Whether you're a marketer navigating this space or just curious about where AI and commerce intersect, this conversation offers a clear-eyed look at what's real, what's hype, and what's coming next._______________________________________________Key Highlights

The past few years have been a critical time in the development of data privacy laws and the regulation of AI in the United States. As we look toward 2026, the complexities are only increasing. In this episode, the Antitrust Law Section's Privacy and Information Security (PRIS) Committee joins forces with OCA to focus on the highlights of 2025 and predictions for 2026. Hosts Alicia Downey and Anora Wang talk to PRIS Committee vice chairs Jessica Cohen of Verizon Communications and Alex Brown of Alston & Bird about why the next 12 months could redefine how AI and data privacy are regulated at the federal and state levels. In addition, listeners will hear from Jessica about being a mother of five, and get an update on Walter, a beauty pageant-winning dog, who was just a puppy when Alex was a featured guest on OCA Episode #89 back in 2020.

A snowbound Kentucky chat meets sunny Jacksonville plans as we sit down with Bob Tate from IPMS First Coast to explore how JaxCon reshaped the classic model show into a warm, community-first experience. Think Friday evening setup and a pizza social to slow the pace, then a crisp Saturday run with registration at 9, judging at noon, and a focused awards wrap by 5. It's efficient, friendly, and designed so builders, vendors, and visitors all get time to breathe and actually talk models.We dive into the heart of their approach: an open gold, silver, bronze system that evaluates each model on its own merits. No podium pressure, just recognition for quality work. Bob explains how initial resistance gave way to buy-in once people saw honest standards and consistent results, and why they still zone tables by genre for judging flow and easier browsing. The result? Strong turnout with 150+ entrants, 600+ models, and a calmer show floor where learning beats rivalry.JaxCon's extras add real value. A sold-out vendor hall arrives early on Friday, three food trucks keep lines short, and the raffle is both exciting and strategic. One-dollar random draws every half hour keep the buzz going, while five and ten-dollar targeted tickets let you aim for high-value kits. That structure raises enough to offer free public admission, which brings new eyes to the hobby without raising participant fees. This year's theme, 80 years of the Blue Angels—rooted in Jacksonville's history—anchors special awards alongside memorial trophies that honor club members and their passions.If you're planning to attend regional shows or thinking about how to evolve your own, JaxCon offers a practical blueprint: reward excellence, encourage connection, and make the logistics work for people first.

As a husband and a father, Jacob shamelessly showed favoritism toward his wives and his children and, just as you would expect, it produced deep trouble in his family. Favoritism always does. Competition, jealousy, murderous rage and low self-esteem became the tragic fruit of the seeds he sowed. If this chapter seems bizarre and dysfunctional, it is, but it's been included in Scripture as a warning to us to treat those under our care differently than Jacob did. In today's study we will review his favoritism and the effects it produced, consider the deep instincts aroused when we are treated this way, and then we'll review the choices which must be made if we are going to love people the way God wants us to. In other words, we'll discover how to expand the circle of our love.

Nathan shows up with flowers for Elizabeth and encourages her, though she wonders if it might be too soon for these new kids to be back in school at all.Speaking of new kids, Gwen is not thrilled about school—and even less thrilled that Rosemary is trying to dress her in ugly, scratchy outfits.Edie talks with Lucas about needing a place to stay and casually starts doing jumping jacks. Lucas is enjoying every second of it.At school, there's a new kid named Rupert who is a total nerd and absolutely not interested in putting up with Allie's nonsense. Unfortunately for both of them, they're clearly the two smartest kids in the class.

Hour 4 of the Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

The trucking market is defying the typical post-holiday slump, with data showing high tender rejections instead of the usual January hangover. Rapid inventory contraction suggests shippers may soon rush to restock, keeping spot rates elevated. However, this boom attracts "chameleon carriers" who utilize magnetic placards to swap identities and bypass safety regulations. Industry experts warn that recent federal notices downplay the severity of this rampant carrier identity theft The problem is exacerbated by the rise of instant-issue insurance platforms, which have removed critical barriers to entry for dangerous operators. This lack of vetting coincides with a surge in nuclear verdicts, leaving the public exposed due to outdated [federal liability minimums]. Financial volatility is also hitting large asset-based carriers, leading the R&R Family of Companies to divest its logistics units to the CJK Group. This sale comes on the heels of the [sudden shutdown of Taylor Express], highlighting liquidity issues in the sector. Competition is heating up elsewhere as the U.S. Postal Service begins soliciting bids from retailers to fill their last-mile delivery networks. By selling reserved capacity, the agency intends to [challenge private carriers] for e-commerce volume. Innovation continues to reshape the landscape, demonstrated by autonomous railcars in Michigan that operate without traditional locomotives. This technology promises to make short-haul rail profitable, potentially luring freight away from trucks.

How do you support a young athlete through the middle school years—when bodies are changing fast, emotions run high, and competition starts to feel real? Ages 11-14 are a pivotal phase in athletic development. Growth spurts, social comparison, and rising expectations can either build confidence and resilience—or quietly push kids toward burnout. In this episode of Inside the Wave, Perry Wirth sits down with returning guest Chandler Lewis for Part 3 of their four-part youth development series, focusing on the often tricky middle school years. Chandler is a sports psychologist, Certified Mental Performance Consultant, and competitive swim coach who has guided athletes from their first lessons all the way to NCAA-level competition. Together, Perry and Chandler break down how parents and coaches can support developing athletes without rushing specialization or adding unnecessary pressure. You'll learn how to: • Understand the major PIES shifts (Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Social) during ages 11–14 • Support rapid growth and awkward movement phases without overloading intensity or volume • Build skill, strength, and body awareness before chasing performance outcomes • Encourage ownership, autonomy, and intrinsic motivation in young athletes • Approach competition with process-based goals instead of result-based pressure • Support kids emotionally before, during, and after competitions • Avoid common parenting and coaching habits that unintentionally increase stress Chandler combines real-world coaching experience with mental performance principles to help athletes (and their parents) navigate this stage with clarity, patience, and long-term perspective. Whether you're coaching from the deck, watching from the sidelines, or parenting an athlete who's starting to feel the weight of competition, this episode offers a roadmap for turning the middle school years into a foundation for confidence, resilience, and lifelong enjoyment of sport.

If you're listening to this episode, there's a good chance you've been there... standing in a hotel room, a gym lobby, or in the car on competition morning while your gymnast says, “I'm not hungry,” or flat-out refuses to eat anything. And you're left wondering, what do I do with this gymnast who refuses to eat before a competition?Is this normal? Am I overreacting? And… is it actually safe for them to compete? So today we're going to talk through exactly what to do when your gymnast refuses to eat before a competition. Calmly, practically, and with safety in mind. It's actually incredibly common in gymnastics. This happens at all levels, even with gymnasts who fuel well the rest of the time. Most of the time, this is driven by nerves; when the nervous system is in a heightened stress state, digestion slows and appetite drops. That is a normal physiological response. HOWEVER “I'm not hungry” does not mean “I don't need fuel.Gymnasts don't need a full stomach to compete safely. But they do need available energy. Fuel supports focus, coordination, confidence, and injury prevention. And if your gut tells you something isn't right, listen to it. 

In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors, hosts Corey Janoff and Rachelle Vanderzanden, discuss some of our impulses to measure our financial success by comparing it to others.  How do we avoid this trap?  Or do we really need to avoid it?  Humans are competitive by nature (or is it nurture?):  If you come across a bear in the woods, you don't need to be faster than the bear, just faster than the person running with you.  In sports, it's usually the same!  You don't need to achieve a specific internal goal to “win” you just need to beat your competitors.  This is not always helpful in finances!  Trying to win with finances often focuses on outward signs of wealth and success which do not always line up with your own goals and interests.  This has become worse in the age of social media, where everyone advertises their homes, vacations, and perfect children.  This is one of those things that is easier said than done but try to focus on your personal goals and benchmarks as a measure of success instead of comparing yourself to others.  And understand that many folks with external signs of wealth may be struggling financially.  Listen to the full episode for more tips!  For more financial planning tips from Corey and Rachelle, find them on social media!  LinkedIn: @CoreyJanoff and @RachelleVanderzanden; Instagram: @CoreyJanoff and @VanderzandenRachelle; and Twitter: @CoreyJanoffCFP and @RachelleFinance   Discussions in this show should not be construed as specific recommendations or investment advice.

2026 is not a normal year... In this conversation, Dr. Bruce Lipton explains why the turbulence we're witnessing is not random—it's the "crash mode" of an old civilization that has reached its biological and spiritual limit.According to him, we are in the midst of a metamorphosis. The old systems built on Darwinian competition and Newtonian materialism are falling apart so that a new, cooperative "butterfly" civilization can emerge.This is an evolutionary shift in energy and consciousness. And while the collapse is global, your role as an "imaginal cell" in this new world is deeply personal.

There's a lot of martial arts content online that looks impressive—but taken out of context, it can confuse people fast.In this episode of The John Hallett Podcast, we break down one of the biggest misconceptions in self-defense training: the belief that any system—Krav Maga included—can magically neutralize a highly trained fighter.That's not reality.If someone has years of boxing, wrestling, or BJJ experience, and you've been training for six months, you're already behind. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling fantasy.What Krav Maga is designed to do is far more honest—and far more useful.It focuses on teaching the 20% of skills that solve about 80% of real-world problems:Awareness De-escalationGross-motor, high-percentage movementsDecision-making under stressThat matters because most real-world attacks aren't clean, technical, or fair. They're chaotic. Emotional. Close. And often involve people with little to no formal training—not elite competitors.We also talk about how social media creates false comparisons:Competition techniques shown as “self-defense”Advanced movements taught to beginnersVideos designed to “debunk” other systems by changing the contextThat's not education. That's confusion.Self-defense isn't about winning exchanges or proving superiority. It's about using the right tool for the right moment—or better yet, avoiding the fight entirely when possible.One example we discuss: a training scenario where de-escalation was the correct answer—but a student defaulted to striking simply because they were “in range.” That choice escalated a situation that didn't need to become violent.That's a training failure—not a technique failure.The takeaway is simple:Context mattersProbability mattersPrinciples matter more than flashy techniquesAnd most of all, how you train is how you default under stress.If your training ignores awareness, escalation control, and decision-making, no amount of technique will save you.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for January 14th Publish Date:  January 14th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, January 14th and Happy Birthday to Dave Grohl I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal East Cobb protest calls to end ICE after deadly shooting Interstate lane closure advisory for the I-285/I-20 West Interchange project ‘Ready to work for it’: Miss Cobb County 2026 looks toward Miss Georgia competition All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 5 STORY 1: East Cobb protest calls to end ICE after deadly shooting The intersection of Johnson Ferry and Roswell roads buzzed with energy Sunday afternoon as over 150 protesters gathered for the “ICE Out for Good” rally, part of a nationwide movement calling for the abolition of ICE. Chants of “No ICE, no fear, immigrants are welcome here” echoed across the streets, accompanied by honking horns and waves from passing cars. Protesters held handmade signs with messages like “Melt ICE,” “Justice for Renee,” and “Keep Orwell fiction.” The rally followed the recent fatal shooting of Renee Good, a Minneapolis woman, by an ICE agent during an immigration operation. Protesters, led by Indivisible Cobb, called out what they described as ICE’s unchecked violence. “This is about justice,” said Susan Lopez of Smyrna. “ICE is overstepping, and it’s time to hold them accountable.” Not everyone agreed. Terry Frost, a lone counter-protester, stood silently with a Trump campaign flag, voicing his support for ICE. “I can’t stand with people defending criminals,” he said. The protest remained peaceful, with no arrests reported. STORY 2: Interstate lane closure advisory for the I-285/I-20 West Interchange project  Heads up, drivers: weather permitting, GDOT contractors will be closing lanes around the I-285/I-20 West Interchange for a major reconstruction project. Expect delays, lane shifts, and some frustration—so plan ahead. The project? Widening ramps, adding collector-distributor lanes, and improving traffic flow. But first, the closures: I-285 Northbound: Cascade to Bolton, nightly Jan. 12-16. Single-lane closures start at 9 p.m., double-lane closures at 11 p.m. I-285 Southbound: Hollowell to MLK Jr. Drive, same deal. I-20 Westbound: Anderson to Riverside, 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. I-20 Eastbound: Riverside to I-285, alternating lane closures. Flagging operations and pacing will also hit nearby roads. Check 511ga.org for updates, and drive safe! STORY 3: ‘Ready to work for it’: Miss Cobb County 2026 looks toward Miss Georgia competition   For Dominique Verville, crowned Miss Cobb County 2026 last August, life’s best moments often sit just past fear. “Fear shows up when something matters,” the 23-year-old from Kennesaw told the Kiwanis Club of Marietta on Thursday. “It doesn’t mean you’re unprepared—it means you’re standing at the edge of growth.” A graduate of Auburn University with degrees in aviation management and finance, Verville is a classically trained dancer, a licensed pilot, and now an aviation insurance underwriter. But her heart? It’s in service. Through her nonprofit, Hearts for Heroes, she supports veterans transitioning to civilian life, delivering supplies and reading her children’s book, Dear Soldier, to students. “The crown isn’t about me,” she said. “It’s about serving others.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 5 STORY 4: Mableton swears in new councilmembers, elects mayor pro tem The Mableton City Council kicked off the year with a packed agenda—and a little drama. New council members Cassandra Brown and Michael McNeely were sworn in, while Debora Herndon, reelected unopposed, will take her oath later this month. Then came the vote for mayor pro tem. After a 3-3 tie between Ron Davis and Keisha Jeffcoat, McNeely flipped his vote in a second round, giving Davis the role with a 4-2 majority. “Big shoes to fill,” Davis said, “but I’m ready to make this city the best it can be.” The council also approved Mableton’s participation in HUD’s Community Development Block Grant program, partnering with Cobb County to fund affordable housing, infrastructure upgrades, and economic development. STORY 5: Wood you believe it? New art exhibits open in Marietta   Two fresh exhibitions are taking over the Marietta-Cobb Museum of Art and they couldn’t be more different. Downstairs, “Georgia Wood Artists” showcases 50 stunning woodworks from 39 Georgia artists—everything from bowls to mandolins to abstract sculptures. Upstairs? Lawrenceville painter Maya Perez-Lugones makes her solo debut with a series of bold, surreal bathroom scenes. “It’s like night and day,” said museum director Sally Macaulay. “Every piece evokes something different. I love hearing what people feel.” Perez-Lugones’ work, inspired by light bouncing off bathroom surfaces, explores ego and compulsion. Meanwhile, the wood exhibit highlights craftsmanship, from whittling to woodturning. Tickets are $10; kids under 6 get in free. Break: STORY 6: Braves re-sign reliever Tyler Kinley    The Braves are keeping their bullpen busy this offseason, signing right-hander Tyler Kinley to a $3 million deal for 2026, with a $5.5 million club option for 2027 (or a $1.25 million buyout). Kinley, 34, was lights-out last season—5-0 with a ridiculous 0.72 ERA in just 25 innings after being traded from Colorado in July. Not bad, right? This move follows Atlanta’s other bullpen splashes: a $45 million deal for Robert Suarez and a $16 million re-signing of closer Raisel Iglesias. STORY 7: Health inspection follow-up brings big change for Hoboken Cafe  The Hoboken Café on Whitlock Avenue, a local favorite for Italian eats, bounced back this week after a rough health inspection in December. The follow-up? A shiny 97 out of 100—an “A” for food safety excellence. Back in December, though, things weren’t so great. The café scored a 69, just one point above a failing grade. Violations included raw meat stored above ready-to-eat foods, cooling and reheating issues, and sanitizer buckets with way too much solution. The last inspection found just one issue—improper cooling for stuffed peppers, which was fixed on the spot. Management says everything’s been addressed. We’ll have closing comments after this.

It's official: Mayor Mike Johnston confirmed that Denver is throwing its hat in the ring for the 2028 Democratic National Convention. But twenty years ago when the Mile High City previously played host to the DNC, the city and the economy looked a lot different — and the protests were big. Then, German grocery store chain Aldi is coming to Colorado — could more competition mean better prices for consumers? Host Bree Davies is joined by Westword editor in-chief Patty Calhoun to dig into these big stories, plus discuss homicide and car theft rates going down, more thoughts on President Trump and the Tina Peters situation, and hear a comment from a listener on Denver's department stores of yore. Bree talked about the “new” Dozens Restaurant location at 14th Street and Court Place and our 2023 interview with the Colorado Auto Theft Prevention Authority. Patty mentioned Westword's reporting on issues in the Golden Triangle and their paper's member event tonight at the Westword offices, looking back at 2025 and eyeing this year's celebration of the state's 150th birthday.

Philosopher and author Rebecca Newberger Goldstein discusses her new book, The Mattering Instinct, which argues that our lives are a quest to validate our inherent self-centeredness. Tracing this essential longing from physics and biology through to ethics and politics, she explains to EconTalk's Russ Roberts why material success alone can never satisfy our deep-seated need to matter. She describes the four ways people seek significance--through transcendence, social connection, excellence, or competition--and explains how the unmet need to matter is at the heart of some of the biggest problems afflicting modern societies: loneliness, extremism, and polarization.
