A Fresh Start for Philanthropy in the Valley As the calendar turns to 2026, United Way of Northern Shenandoah Valley (UWNSV) is charting an ambitious course for community engagement and philanthropy. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sat down with UWNSV CEO Andy Gail to discuss the organization's evolving mission, innovative giving models, and the vital role of collaboration in addressing local needs. Pillars of Progress: United Way's Guiding Principles At the heart of United Way's strategy are four foundational pillars: healthy communities, youth opportunities, financial stability, and community resiliency. Andy explains that these pillars, distilled from United Way Worldwide's research and best practices, serve as a roadmap for local chapters. They ensure that every initiative—from healthcare access to disaster preparedness—addresses both immediate challenges and long-term community well-being. "It's a nice balance for both," Andy notes, "and we can get specific to what's happening and what we're seeing in our communities." Collaboration Over Competition: The New Nonprofit Mindset Gone are the days of nonprofits guarding their resources in isolation. Today, organizations recognize the power of partnership. Andy and Janet reflect on how United Way acts as a central hub, bringing together nonprofits, businesses, and individuals to maximize impact. By pooling resources and expertise, the region's nonprofits can tackle complex issues more effectively. "If we put our piles together, we can serve even more people and maybe solve a problem that we don't have to keep addressing on a regular basis," Janet observes. Introducing Giving Circles: Democratizing Philanthropy One of the most exciting developments for 2026 is the launch of Giving Circles—innovative groups that empower individuals and small businesses to pool their donations and collectively decide how to allocate funds. The Small Business 365 circle, for example, invites local entrepreneurs to contribute as little as a dollar a day, network with peers, and make a tangible difference in the community. Meanwhile, Women United offers a platform for women to support causes they're passionate about, from mentorship to empowering girls and women in the region. Andy emphasizes that these circles are about more than just writing checks. They foster engagement, education, and a sense of ownership among participants. "It's our impact grant model, but done on a micro level," he explains, "for those that aren't giving in the workplace, those that don't have a workplace, those that want to see their money multiplied." Maximizing Impact: Grants, Partnerships, and Year-Round Giving The conversation also highlights United Way's expertise in securing and distributing grants. By leveraging its credibility and donor base, UWNSV can access funding that individual nonprofits might not qualify for on their own. This approach has already yielded impressive results, such as a $100,000 grant that helped over 2,700 families in the southern region. Importantly, Andy and Janet urge listeners to think beyond traditional end-of-year giving. Needs persist throughout the year, and even small, regular donations can add up to significant change. "The need doesn't stop," Andy reminds the audience. "Numbers are scale… if a thousand people give a hundred bucks, we have lots of ways to do it." Looking Ahead: A Vibrant, Resilient Community As United Way Northern Shenandoah Valley celebrates its 80th anniversary, the organization is more committed than ever to fostering a culture of generosity, collaboration, and innovation. With new giving models, a focus on collective action, and a deep understanding of local needs, UWNSV is poised to lead the region into a new era of community impact.

Roland Ligtenberg is the Co-founder and SVP of Growth & Innovation at Housecall Pro, a leading vertical SaaS platform that empowers home service professionals to manage and grow their businesses more efficiently. Under Roland's leadership, Housecall Pro has scaled to serve over 100,000 home service professionals, powering tens of billions of dollars in gross merchandise volume, and pioneering the use of AI team members to streamline operations for its customers. In this episode… What if the people keeping our homes running could grow their businesses without burning out on paperwork and missed calls? And what if AI wasn't about replacing jobs, but about giving small, hands-on entrepreneurs a real edge in a world that keeps demanding more from them? According to Roland Ligtenberg, a longtime builder of technology for real-world problems, the answer lies in using AI as a set of practical teammates rather than shiny experiments. He believes blue collar business owners shouldn't have to choose between doing the work they love and managing the back office chaos that comes with growth. When AI can answer phones, track finances, and surface insights the same way a seasoned assistant would, it frees owners to focus on jobs, customers, and building wealth that lasts. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Roland Ligtenberg, Co-founder and SVP of Growth & Innovation at Housecall Pro, about harnessing AI to empower blue collar entrepreneurs. They discuss how AI "team members" help home service businesses handle more demand, why mobile-first software was critical for trades, and how technology can remove hiring bottlenecks. Roland also gives advice on building a mission-driven company that stays meaningful as it scales.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Dr. Melanie Gray to talk about the hidden cost of being “fine on paper.” High performers. Caregivers. Leaders. People everyone leans on. The big idea is simple. If your nervous system is stuck in survival mode then your success starts feeling like burnout. Dr. Melanie breaks down how trauma responses can disguise themselves as personality traits like perfectionism, people pleasing, shutdown, and overcontrol. You will also hear her STOP-IT framework for moving from reaction to regulation. It is practical. It is leadership-ready. It is built for real life, not wellness fantasy. If you are trying to “fix everything” at once, this conversation will help you zoom out, scan what is working, tell yourself the truth, and make a clean pivot toward sustainable performance, better relationships, and calmer decision-making. About the Guest: Dr. Melanie Gray is a registered nurse, educator, and wellness strategist with 20+ years in healthcare leadership and higher education. She is known for her work in trauma-informed leadership, burnout prevention, and workplace wellness. She is the founder of Melanie Gray Solutions and the author of Regulate First, Lead Second: Master Your Biology, Transform Your Leadership. Key Takeaways: High functioning is not the same as healthy. If you are snapping at people, skipping family time, or feeling constant gut-level stress, your nervous system is waving a red flag. Separate identity from survival. Some behaviors helped you rise, but you still get to choose when to put the brakes on and pivot. Use the STOP-IT framework. Scan your whole life. Tell yourself the truth. Own your yes and no. Prioritize the pivot. Be intentional. Commit to transformation. In a stressful moment, regulate first. Breathe. Unclench. Move your body. Buy time. You do not owe instant responses to emails or people. Boundaries are leadership. You teach people how to treat you by what you tolerate and how quickly you react. Inventory beats hustle. Write down what stress is costing you in relationships, health, energy, and integrity. Then decide what you want to be known for. Empower your team. Stop being the bottleneck. Let smart people be smart. Collaboration reduces overwhelm and upgrades culture. Trauma-informed self-leadership at work means empathy, inclusion, and making space for quieter voices. Quiet does not mean less capable. A 7-day reset works. One STOP-IT moment daily. One small keystone habit. Consistency over perfection.

The data disruption due to the government shutdown means that investors are uncertain on what data points the Fed will be factoring in and discounting according to Marta Norton of Empower. The biggest factor to watch will be the inflation picture, and Norton says that if inflation continues to fall, there could be more rate cuts than expected next year. Norton will be also watching at the slowdown in the labor market and expectations for earnings.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Most dads step into their son's baseball journey believing they need to fix, protect, analyze, and carry the weight of every result. It comes from love — but it often creates the exact pressure, resentment, and distance they're trying to avoid. In this solo episode of The Most Valuable Agent, MLB agent Matt Hannaford reframes one of the most misunderstood roles in youth baseball: the role of the father. Your son doesn't need you to be the hero of his story. He needs you to be the guide. Matt breaks down why trying to "save" your son from failure actually limits his growth, how constant instruction creates dependence instead of confidence, and why the car ride home becomes the most damaging moment in a young player's experience. You'll learn how to shift from control to clarity, from pressure to trust, and from performance-based approval to the kind of support that allows young players to grow — not just as athletes, but as men. If you're a dad who wants to stay involved without damaging the relationship or the development process, this episode will change how you show up. Subscribe for weekly guidance on navigating youth baseball, parenting, and player development with clarity, truth, and strategy. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Why your son — not you — must be the hero of his baseball journey • How dads unintentionally create pressure by trying to "help" too much • The difference between being the hero and being the guide • Why constant instruction kills confidence and ownership • How to communicate support without controlling outcomes • What questions build trust instead of resentment • Why the car ride home is the most dangerous moment for relationships • How approval tied to performance damages long-term growth • What happens when dads step into the guide role instead • How this shift impacts your son far beyond baseball KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR DADS Your son must carry the challenge — that's how growth happens. Your power as a father doesn't come from control; it comes from clarity and trust. Your words, tone, and presence either build safety or create fear. When you guide instead of manage, your son plays freer, communicates more, and grows faster. ABOUT MATT HANNAFORD Matt Hannaford is a 25-year MLB agent and founder of Aligned Sports. He has represented Hall of Famers, negotiated landmark contracts, and now helps families navigate youth baseball, recruiting, and development with clarity, honesty, and long-term perspective.
