Saving the Wanamaker Light ShowToday we're joined by Kathryn Ott Lovell, President & CEO of the Philadelphia Visitor Center, to talk about an exciting campaign to bring back two of Philadelphia's most beloved holiday traditions: the Wanamaker Light Show and Dickens Village. For generations, families have gathered under the glow of the Light Show, listened to the majestic sounds of the Wanamaker Organ, and created cherished memories in the heart of Center City. When Macy's closed its Center City location, the future of these traditions was left uncertain. But thanks to the Philadelphia Visitor Center and its partners, there's now a plan to restore the magic for the 2025 holiday season and preserve it for generations to come. ✨ If you'd like to be part of saving one of Philadelphia's most treasured holiday traditions, visit SaveTheLightShow.org to learn more and make a donation. Every gift helps bring back the magic of the Wanamaker Light Show and Dickens Village.  Girl Scouts of Eastern PA - Calling All Girl Bosses I welcomed four inspiring guests from the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania's Calling All Girl Bosses initiative—a free, yearlong leadership program helping girls in grades 6–12 become confident changemakers in their communities.

Transportation Engineer Allan Kindrat's groundbreaking work on the Cycle 16 multi-use path connecting Smithers and Telkwa recently earned a Gold Award from the Planning Institute of BC, recognizing two decades of persistent community advocacy finally bearing fruit.The project represents a watershed moment for active transportation in BC. What began as a grassroots initiative championed by the Cycle 16 Trail Society has evolved into something much bigger – the first major project taken over by the Ministry of Transportation and Transit under their new Active Transportation Capital Program. With $85 million allocated across approximately 11 projects province-wide, this represents an unprecedented commitment to building dedicated cycling and pedestrian infrastructure within highway corridors. This ministerial involvement sets a promising precedent for similar initiatives across BC, including the Connect the Coast Society's efforts on the Sunshine Coast, where Kindrat now serves as project manager.

După ani de explorări, joburi în paralel și căutări intense, Paul face pasul decisiv spre soloprenoriat. Renunță la publicitate, își asumă riscurile financiare și pornește oficial pe cont propriu în zona de training și coaching. E o perioadă de efort susținut, cu anxietate, entuziasm și mii de ore de muncă. Dar și o perioadă în care își simte tot mai clar alinierea între puncte forte, pasiuni, valori și motivații.În acest episod povestește cum au apărut primii clienți mari, cum l-a ajutat propria disciplină și prezență online, dar și cum și-a construit în timp un brand personal solid. Paul vorbește despre relațiile profesionale care i-au dat aripi, formările care i-au rafinat competențele și despre cum arăta „grind-ul” în anii cu peste 180 de zile de curs pe an.Episodul se încheie cu momentul în care, în 2019, câștigă Gold Award pentru cel mai bun trainer din România, Silver pentru Coach și simte că a închis un ciclu al călătoriei sale vocaționale. La doar câteva zile distanță, pornește următorul: Mind Architect. Din acel punct, călătoria lui nu mai e despre a reuși și demonstra singur, ci despre a construi împreună.

Marley shares her inspiring journey of curating and developing a children's art gallery in partnership with the Southwest Art Gallery and Science Center. At just 16 years old, Marley embarked on this project to provide art-related opportunities for kids in her community in North Dakota, where such resources were scarce. She discusses her passion for art as a self-taught artist, the need she identified in her community, and how her collaboration with the Southwest Art Gallery, which shares her mission, facilitated the creation of this new space. Marley reflects on her experience as a volunteer and the process of curating the first exhibit, highlighting the importance of fostering creativity among youth. Tune in to learn how one young artist is making a difference in her community through art! About Our Guest: My name is Marly Barnett, I am a 17-year-old Girl Scout from Troop 85112 and I live in the SW region of North Dakota. My Gold Award project, titled “SW Art Gallery and Science Center's Children's Gallery”, was to develop a children's art gallery for grades K-12 within the physical building of the SW Art Gallery and Science Center. I started this project at age 16 in April 2024, and as a result, I have advanced from a volunteer position to a paid role as Student Director of the SW Art Gallery and Science Center's Children's Gallery in October. Most recently I added Social Media Coordinator to my responsibilities. The reason I chose this as my Gold Award project was for two reasons, one to play a more active role in my community and two, as a self-taught artist, to make the arts more accessible for young artists in Region 8 of North Dakota.

Imagine a world where friendships are built one letter at a time. That's exactly what Hannah Crawley created with her Girl Scout Gold Award project—a nationwide pen pal program connecting Girl Scouts across the U.S. and even Japan. At a time when social media dominated communication, Hannah brought back the magic of handwritten letters, fostering deeper connections and lifelong friendships. Now serving in the military, Hannah reflects on how this project not only strengthened her communication skills but also prepared her for a future where letters remain a vital link. She shares the challenges of organizing the program, the excitement of receiving international candy swaps, and why she spent hours hand-drawing animals for each participant. Plus, we dive into her Girl Scout camp adventures, spooky camp counselor stories, and her favorite way to make s'mores.
