「どれだけ発音練習をしてもカタカナっぽさが抜けない…」「シャドーイングをしてもネイティブ特有のリズムやニュアンスが真似できない…」そんな悩みを解決する鍵は、子音や母音の前に「声の出し方（発声の土台）」にありました！今回は、英語発音の基礎となる「ボトムエリア（低い声の領域・脱力声）」について詳しく解説します。ボトムエリアが使えるようになると、音が自然とつながり、英語特有のストレス（強弱）が際立つようになります。番組後半では、一緒に練習できる実践エクササイズもご用意しています。ぜひ声が出せる環境で、喉をリラックスさせながら聴いてみてください！【基本の出し方手順】あくびをして喉の奥を大きく広げる声を後ろに引くイメージで限界まで低く落とす喉がガラガラ（カラカラ）鳴ればOK！【音読時の3つの意識ポイント】ストレス（強調する音）を置くたびに喉を脱力する意味単位（チャンク）でしっかり区切る区切りごとに毎回息を吸ってから発音する【音読練習パッセージ】We have two Labradors.You know, people sayThey are such friendly and intelligent dogs.That's actually true,but there's more to it than that.One is an 11-year-old yellow LabThe other is still a puppyan 8-month-old yellow LabRight now, I'm taking care of them alonebecause my wife and son are away in Shanghaifor their summer holidays.The puppy is a giant destroyer.I can't sleep soundlybecause he literally tries to destroy our house every night.Every morning when I wake up,I start my day by cleaning up the mess he made the night before.That's how I've been spending my summer holidayssuch lovely days with our "friendly and intelligent" destroyer.

Julie Bates introduces a plan to bring amateur handlers on the podcast and focuses this episode on problem solving in dog training. She emphasizes combining pointing and retrieving training, preventing problems early, and addressing the root cause rather than just the symptom. Through examples like vocalization, duck-rolling, popping and blind management, Julie explains why quick punishments or one-size-fits-all fixes often make things worse. She urges handlers to take ownership, watch small early signs, and consider patient, dog-aligned solutions. Practical tips include filming your training to spot patterns, reducing nagging and unnecessary collar pressure, practicing situational awareness, and using patience-based approaches to resolve issues more effectively.

Arved Fuchs meldet sich von Bord der Dagmar Aaen aus dem Naturhafen Hebron an der Küste Labradors. Nach der Überquerung der Davisstraße von Grönland aus führte der Kurs in den Torngat Mountains National Park im Norden Labradors. Die bis zu 3,9 Milliarden Jahre alten Fels- und Gebirgsformationen sind für die Inuit ein spiritueller Ort. Wegen der hohen Dichte an Schwarz- und Eisbären sind Landgänge nur mit bewaffneten Bärenwächtern erlaubt, erzählt Arved Fuchs; die Crew war dabei stets in Begleitung der Nationalparkverwaltung unterwegs, unter anderem auf Rose Island, einer jahrtausendealten Begräbnisstätte der Inuit.Ausführlich schildert er Begegnungen mit Inuit im Saglek-Fjord, das traditionelle Lufttrocknen von Arctic Char sowie die wissenschaftlichen CTD-Messungen, die die Crew ebenfalls im Saglek-Fjord durchführen durfte.Hebron ist eine ehemalige Missionsstation der Herrnhuter Brüdergemeinde mit einer historischen, derzeit im Wiederaufbau befindlichen Kirche. Von dort aus verbindet sich die Geschichte des Ortes mit einem dunklen Kapitel Hamburger Stadtgeschichte: 1880 wurden acht Inuit aus Hebron im Auftrag von Carl Hagenbeck nach Europa gebracht und in mehreren Städten – unter anderem Hamburg und Paris – als "Völkerschau" zur Schau gestellt. Alle acht starben innerhalb weniger Monate an Pocken, da eine Impfung versäumt worden war.Aufgezeichnet und produziert von Bärbel Fening.

What to listen for:“We are very good at selectively breeding, obviously to drive change in the shape, but not necessarily to drive performance.”Robin and Stacy continue their conversation with Dr. Lindsay Waldrop, a Chapman University fluid dynamicist who secured Navy funding to build the world's largest collection of micro-CT-scanned domestic dog skulls.Dr. Waldrop discusses why skull morphology offers no reliable prediction of scent detection performance. Breed shape, muzzle length, turbinate density… she says that none of it predicts which dogs will find the tin.She cites a study that scanned roughly 125 museum skulls, landmarked them geometrically, and mapped the variation against breeds with historically scent-focused versus bite-work roles.The answer was flat. No morphological feature sorted reliably by task. A Labrador has approximately the same mechanical bite leverage as a Malinois, yet nobody uses Labradors as patrol dogs, because that's behavior and genetics, not skull shape.And the pug? In a separate Nathan Hall study, the pug outperformed German shepherds on a basic odor detection task. The greyhounds couldn't be bothered to participate.Bloodhound ears sit in the same category. It's a story told often enough to feel true, but never actually tested. From a fluid dynamics standpoint, Stacy says she'd be shocked if those ear flaps were routing scent toward the nose in any meaningful way.The same applies to the claim (circulating on social media) that early scent initiation protocols increase the number of olfactory receptors in developing puppies. Specific, testable, evidence-free.It's important to distinguish science-based reasoning versus evidence-based claims. Dr. Waldrop's flow visualization work is science-based, informed by expertise, probably accurate, not publishable as proof. But claiming a puppy protocol rewires the olfactory system is an evidence-based claim with almost no data behind it. Key Topics:When the Dog Is Right and the Handler Is Wrong (01:36)The Pug That Beat the German Shepherd (12:54)What Skull Shape Actually Tells Us About Scent Work (14:02)A Navy-Funded Micro-CT Scan of 125 Dog Skulls (15:37)The Bloodhound Ear Story No One Has Tested (23:08)Science-Based vs. Evidence-Based: Why the Difference Matters (30:01)The Essential Oil Claim That Doesn't Hold Up to Physics (36:50)Can Nose Work Dogs Learn to Sniff Bigger?

Craig Koshyk has spent decades researching the history of sporting dogs, traveling the world to interview breeders, historians, and experts in search of one question: How did our dogs become who they are today?In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating story behind the Labrador Retriever—from the rugged shores of Newfoundland and the St. John's Water Dog to the breed that would become the most popular dog in the world. Craig explains why retrievers retrieve, how natural selection shaped the earliest working dogs, and why Labradors possess the unique combination of toughness, intelligence, cooperation, and heart that makes them so special.Along the way we explore the origins of the Golden Retriever, Flat-Coat, Curly-Coat, and other retriever breeds, discuss the evolution of hunting dogs, and even venture into the philosophy of why humans form such profound bonds with dogs in the first place.Whether you're a retriever trainer, hunter, breeder, or simply someone who loves dogs, this conversation will change the way you think about your best friend.

Julie Bates reports from a Northwest Pointing Lab Club seminar where trainers and owners worked through fundamentals: building the human-dog relationship, daily walks, basic obedience (heel, sit, recall), and making training challenging and fun. The episode covers collar conditioning, recalls, de-chase work, marking and water drills, and emphasizes avoiding boredom while developing confident, responsive pointing Labradors. Julie praises the club's skilled handlers and healthy dogs and shares practical tips for continued progress.

In this episode of Ten Minute Tuesday, the guys dive into the fascinating history of duck dogs and the breeds that helped shape waterfowl hunting in North America. From the mixed farm dogs, spaniels, and setters used by early hunters to the legendary origins of the Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the rise of the Labrador Retriever, this episode explores how man's best friend became one of the most important tools in the duck blind.   The conversation covers the famous shipwreck that helped create the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, the brutal conditions these dogs endured during the market hunting era, and why Chessies earned a reputation for toughness, independence, and grit. The guys also discuss how Labradors rose to dominate the retriever world, the influence of field trials and hunt tests, and the unique retriever culture that developed throughout the Midwest.   Whether you're a lifelong dog handler, a waterfowl hunter with a favorite hunting partner, or simply interested in the history of sporting dogs, this episode offers a look back at the remarkable relationship between hunters and the dogs that have been retrieving birds for more than two centuries.   Join Flyways Hunt Club and get 1 month free!

This week Louise and Michelle are joined by SJ, founder of Tails and Trails, a canicross club based near Ludlow in South Shropshire. SJ's journey into canicross began not from a love of racing, but from a simple need: helping her rescue dog Rosie thrive.

Could your dog save another dog's life just by taking a sniff? The answer is a resounding yes! Join us as we dive into the fascinating world of biomedical olfaction with Dr. Cindy Otto and Dr. Clara Wilson, authors of the groundbreaking paper, Trained Dogs Can Detect the Odor of Hemangiosarcoma in Canine Blood Samples. Hemangiosarcoma—a silent killer that devastates breeds like Labradors, German Shepherds, and Golden Retrievers—is often diagnosed too late. But pioneering work at the Penn Vet Working Dog Center is changing that. Discover how these incredible canines are using their powerful sense of smell to accurately detect the deadly cancer in blood samples, achieving over 70% accuracy and even revealing discrepancies that stumped traditional pathologists. Learn about the intensive training that turns working dogs into life-saving disease detectors, and what this research means for the future of veterinary medicine and early cancer screening.◇ ─ ◇ ─ ◇Froggy's Golf Ball Retrieval offers the best programs helping you achieve the most from your water hazards.

The forecast was for rain all day but after a period of a few hours with none I headed to Flatford. The clouds are great today and much more Constablesque with a wide variety of greys and shapes. As I was setting up there was some great interaction between some Song Thrushes, and some juvenile Moorhens on the water. Some sightseers taking their photo with the Mill in the background, a Song Thrush again, a lady going past on her mobility scooter, restarting the recording because my alarm went off loudly and stopped the recording! Weird as I thought that the sound must have been coming from someone else's phone before I realised it was from mine! Bees in the Comfrey, a Cuckoo, a couple take a photo, ask me what I was recording and then left straight away, then they came back and asked me if they could see Willy Lott's House from this side of the river, a short rain shower with large drops, so I protect my kit with my cap and a cloth (well prepared!), a lad walking by with his hands in his pockets, the birds stopped singing after the ran, thunder, and now a Blackbird, the Cuckoo again as the wind picks up, the feeling that it's going to lash it down, a man with 2 black Labradors walking past whilst looking at his phone the whole time, a hoverfly by the mic, a Moorhen, precipitation being blow from the willow trees above me, I'm on the edge of my seat with anticipation as the wind gusts and the thunder rolls around but the rain holds off, there are no hoards of tourists now as there were last week in the blazing sunshine (so I heard on various platforms), just crows, the storm is moving northward, swathes of cloud, gusts of wind bending the trees, pockets of blue sky now appear between the cloud, lightning to the west, ten seconds away, a Mallard on the mill pond, small spits of rain return as a man power walks past, we exchange nods, a man smoking a cigarette at the back of the Field Studies Centre looking over curiously, the same building that they said was out of bounds and as such I couldn't record from there, wind ripples and rain drops on the water surface, three Magpies landing on the path to forage, there is two minutes to go until the hour is up and the rain is getting heavier, a jogger, the Mallard lands on the wall and stretches out its wings, several times, still some distant thunder and gusts in the trees but fading now, the Magpies chatter in the trees, the Cuckoo returns.

A newly updated edition of royal biographer Prince Andrew Andrew Lownie's book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York contains allegations that Prince Andrew violently kicked one of his Labradors during a pheasant shoot at Sandringham after the dog grabbed a sausage roll from a guest. According to the account, the dog snatched the food from the guest's hand, prompting laughter from those nearby before Andrew allegedly reacted by kicking the animal in the head hard enough to leave it whimpering on the ground. The guest reportedly confronted Andrew over what was described as “disgusting” behavior toward the dog, which allegedly triggered an angry response from Andrew insisting the dogs belonged to him and that he could treat them however he wanted.The story quickly became part of the wider portrait being painted of Andrew in the updated biography, which depicts him as increasingly isolated, bitter, entitled, and detached from public reality following years of scandal surrounding his association with Jeffrey Epstein. The book claims that several people present sided with the guest who challenged Andrew, and even alleges that Prince Philip later privately told the guest that both he and Queen Elizabeth agreed Andrew “needed a good scolding from time to time.” The allegations arrive as Andrew remains deeply toxic to the monarchy's public image, with Buckingham Palace continuing to distance itself from him following the collapse of his royal standing and ongoing scrutiny surrounding his past behavior and personal associations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

We're beginning a conversation with Michele Pouliot. Michele is best known as a dog trainer, but she also has a strong horse background. Beginning in 1974 Michele has been a professional guide dog instructor with the largest US guide dog school serving the blind. Before entering the guide dog field, she was a professional in the field of horse training, mentoring under Linda Tellington Jones and Wentworth Tellington. In 1972, Michele became active in training her first pet Labrador and became fascinated with the comparisons of how dogs and horses learn, stimulating her interest and pursuit in professional dog training. Michele has served as an International Assessor of guide dog school programs for the International Guide Dog Federation. She has completed assessments on guide dog schools in Norway, Austria, Czech Republic, France, Japan, Holland and Great Britain. Michele retired from Guide Dogs for the Blind after 42 years of service. During her last 16 years, she held the position of Director of Research and Development for programs at Guide Dogs for the Blind. In that position she transformed the training program to clicker training. Over her 40+ years of dog training, Michele has been responsible for bringing science based Clicker Training to guide dog training and promoting the expansion of Clicker Training internationally within the guide dog field. In her "hobby world", Michele has actively competed in both horse and dog sports since 1970. After successfully competing in dog obedience for 20 years, she moved into the new sport of agility in 1992. After much fun and success in agility with Labradors, English Springer Spaniels and even Great Danes, Michele took a break from dog sports to focus on her equine hobbies. In 2006, Michele became fascinated with the sport of canine musical freestyle and began a dog sport journey she continues to love. She has competed in canine musical freestyle with her English Springer spaniel, Cabo, Australian Shepherd, Listo and her young Springer spaniel Deja Vu. Michele thoroughly enjoys this artistic sport that combines the precision of obedience with trick behaviors and challenges her creative side through music and choreography. In 5 years in the sport, Michele has won 4 international competitions and attained 5 Championship Titles. In 2008 she received the first scores of double 10's (perfect scores) for Technical and Artistic in one routine in WCFO's Championship division (Perfect Dance Partners). She repeated this accomplishment at the 2009 International competition when all 3 judges awarded double 10's to her freestyle routine. To date Michele and Listo have earned 'double 10' scores a total of twenty-four times. Michele thoroughly enjoys the ongoing challenges in the sport of canine freestyle and the use of Clicker Training to achieve innovative and entertaining routines. In 2007, Karen Pryor invited Michele to join her faculty for Clicker Expo Conferences. At Clicker Expo, Michele presents on the application of clicker techniques for a variety of dog sports, general training, and for the training of guide dogs for the blind. Karen Pryor and Michele collaborated for the development of Michele's online freestyle course which is available from the Karen Pryor Academy. In this episode we begin a conversation that is centered around strategies used in competition where you have to develop long duration programs in which you are not allowed to use treats.

You can tell a lot about a relationship by how people fight about chores. Not the big, dramatic fights either, the tiny daily ones: the counter that “was wiped,” the laundry that never makes it out of the basket, the car that somehow always has no gas, and the kid mess that appears five minutes after you cleaned. We sit down as a wife, an ex-wife, and the guy who thought putting both in a studio was a good idea, and we get honest about what household chores really represent: respect, mental load, and whether you feel like you're doing life with a partner or for a partner. We dig into practical ways to divide household labor without turning your home into a scoreboard. That includes why kids need age-appropriate chores, how paying for tasks can motivate without spoiling, and why “invisible labor” matters as much as mopping and dishes. We also talk cleanliness standards, how to set expectations without sounding like a parent, and why schedules help until real life blows them up. If you've ever thought, “I shouldn't have to ask,” or “If you tell me to do it, I won't,” you'll recognize yourself fast. Then we pivot into our advice segment with three situations that escalate quickly: a spouse finds an unopened box of condoms in a glove box after years of monogamy, a Labrador refuses to leave the bed during intimacy, and a husband with binoculars crosses into neighbor-watching territory. We break down what's harmless, what's suspicious, and what's a straight-up boundary problem, with the kind of blunt honesty you'd expect from people who've already been through the hard stuff. If this made you laugh, cringe, or rethink your own division of labor, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Does your dog have a taste for expensive tech or high-end upholstery? On this episode of Word on The Street, Zweli gets real about the chaotic side of dog ownership. From his own Labrador’s expensive appetite for AirPods and a literal car bumper, we explore the hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking reality of living with a furry "demolition crew". We hear from the 947 listeners who have lived through the unthinkable—from a pup that successfully pulled off a KFC heist to another that decided the curtains and blinds were a five-course meal. We also break down the two distinct camps of dog owners: the ones who insist their "fur-baby" could do no wrong, and the ones who have the receipts (and the chewed-up remotes) to prove the truth. It’s a laugh-out-loud celebration of the mischief that makes dog ownership an unpredictable adventure. Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.

Dale Swaderski joins the podcast to break down the world of pointing Labradors—and why they might not be what you think.From early controversy to modern versatility, Dale shares how pointing labs have evolved into high-level dual-purpose dogs that can compete in hunt tests, upland games, and even elite retriever events. We dig into the training philosophy behind building a dog that can switch between independence and control—and why upland work might be one of the most underrated tools in developing a great retriever.If you've ever wondered whether pointing labs are legit, how to train one, or how upland work impacts marking and control… this episode will challenge what you think you know.

For the last several weeks, we have been discussing how to navigate through periods of doubt, despair, and depression, with guests Dr. Gary Habermas and Dr. Alan Noble. For the next two weeks on the Profile, we'll be hearing from Devin Squeri, author of The Doubt Project - A Crisis of Faith, the Battles, and the Answers. Devin will be sharing his story of how he navigated the tumultuous storms of a terrifying and difficult two-year struggle with doubt and how he found his way back to Jesus. Devin's story intersects with us here at Watchman Fellowship, not just because of the next two episodes of the Profile, but because when Devin first entered his crisis, he'd attended in person one of our ministry's Atheist & Christian Book Club meetings. Also, one of the first Christian books he'd read during his difficult time was actually one of our own books, The Story of the Cosmos - How the Heavens Declare the Glory of God. Here on part one, Devin shares how his crisis began. Next week on part two, you'll hear the remarkable conclusion to his crisis and how he returned to Jesus.

Sometimes called the 'couch potatoes of the sea', nurse sharks are famous for their laid back attitude to life spending most of their days cosied up in piles, napping. But their gentle, docile nature doesn't make them any less special. In this episode, we sit down with SOSF project leader and PhD Researcher Sergio Madrigal Mora - who has spent a lot of time hanging out with the Labradors of the shark world - to discuss how nurse sharks are perfectly adapted to life in the tropics and why they form 'cuddle huddles' on the sea floor. And, we learn more about Sergio's research into the influence of changing temperatures on the movements of Pacific nurse sharks in Costa Rica's St Elena Bay.

Julie Bates reviews a powerful ENS puppy video and shares how early stimulation, clear cues, and consistent handling build the neural pathways that shape focus and teamwork in pointing Labradors. She explains practical steps—teaching recall, heel and sit, managing energy, using rewards wisely, and resting puppies after training—so owners can develop reliable, well‑behaved dogs from the start. https://youtu.be/UvmS2EgBl64

Unfortunately, there are still more humans than dogs in the average airport terminal. Still, it's not uncommon to see dogs as you run to catch your flight. Some dogs, like humans, are just travelers passing through. But others, increasingly, are at the airport to take care of business. Today on AirSpace: it's Canine Career Day! We discuss the surprisingly wide variety of airport dog jobs, and hear from a few lucky humans about their unique coworkers. Matt and Emily learn about therapy dogs with trading cards; beagles and Labradors sniffing luggage for safety (and prohibited agricultural products); and even an elite doggie duo chasing wildlife off the runway.  Thanks to our guests in this episode: Pam Baird, Volunteer, CATS Program, Denver International Airport Chris Keyser, Wildlife Specialist, West Virginia International Yeager Airport Find the transcript for this episode and more information at s.si.edu/airspaces11e6.Subscribe to our monthly newsletter at s.si.edu/airspacenewsletter.AirSpace is made possible with the generous support of Lockheed Martin.AirSpace logo courtesy of the Smithsonian Institution.

What if chasing success was the very thing holding you back from real leadership? In this episode of The Root of All Success, I sit down with Scott Ramey — a former Fortune 500 executive turned authentic leadership coach who's redefining what it means to lead with empathy, vulnerability, and purpose. Scott went from leading billion-dollar teams and climbing the corporate ladder to realizing that “success” wasn't the title or the paycheck—it was the freedom to show up as himself. Now, he helps high-performing leaders break free from perfectionism, connect more deeply with their teams, and build sustainable success through authentic leadership.

In this episode of the Hunt Test Hobo Podcast, Chris sits down with pro trainer Tyler Brenner for an unfiltered and entertaining conversation covering everything from golden retrievers in the Grand to the surprising history of Labradors as ship dogs. They discuss the instincts behind a great retriever, the nuances of pressure and motivation in training, and what it takes to be the "King of the Fluffies." You'll also hear Tyler's thoughts on what traits make for a dog worth breeding. From thick Labrador skin to the dog that started handling—yes, his name was Peter—this episode blends dog nerd history with hard-earned training wisdom and a healthy dose of laughter.

BFH #069 When Chris Rowland's wife gifted him a Cornerstone Gundog Academy membership for his birthday, neither of them realized it would spark a transformative journey into the world of science-based retriever training. In this captivating conversation, Chris shares how his background in psychology helped him appreciate the profound difference between dogs that work because they "get to" versus those that work because they "have to."Chris takes us through his evolution from casual hunter to devoted retriever trainer, detailing how he's successfully trained bench-bred show Labradors to perform at impressive levels in the hunting field and formal hunt tests. His main dog Weatherby stands just three master passes away from becoming only the 88th dog in history to achieve both AKC Champion and Master Hunter titles—a testament to the effectiveness of positive reinforcement training and the capabilities of show-line Labs.The discussion delves into fascinating comparisons between traditional force-based methods and science-based training, exploring how rewarding dogs for desired behaviors creates retrievers that work enthusiastically rather than out of obligation. Chris offers invaluable insights for handlers navigating both the hunting field and competitive hunt tests, emphasizing that while the skills overlap, the priorities and handling approaches differ significantly.For anyone training a retriever, Chris's parting wisdom resonates deeply: "Take your time, it's an ultra-marathon not a race." Through colorful anecdotes about his multiple dogs and newly-established Elmwood Labradors breeding program, he demonstrates that patience, consistency, and understanding canine psychology ultimately produces better results than rushing through training milestones.

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - click hereHow do you transform a brand that's been part of American history for 125 years, without losing the DNA that made it legendary?In this episode, Goodyear CEO and President Mark Stewart joins Jan Griffiths to share how he is breathing new life into one of the world's most iconic brands — and why the real transformation is not just about technology, but rather about leadership, culture, and people.He reflects on his early days supervising third shifts in hot, unforgiving plants and how those moments shaped his belief that leadership isn't about barking orders—it's about building real accountability, setting clear targets, and creating an environment where people can do their best work without fear.Inside Goodyear, the transformation touches everything: leadership behaviors, operational models, and even the story the brand tells the world. Mark talks about honoring Goodyear's pioneering legacy — like the iconic Goodyear Blimp, now celebrating 100 years — while recognizing that past success can breed conservatism if left unchecked.At the core of all this change is a new way of thinking about partnerships. Mark discusses the shift from traditional supplier hierarchies to real, transparent collaborations — where information is shared, problems are solved together, and the success of one depends on the success of all.Beyond strategy, Mark shows what leadership looks like at a human level. From walking factory floors to learn how tires are made firsthand to personally rallying 68,000 associates around a simple, bold vision — to be number one in tires and service — he demonstrates that leadership today isn't about commanding from the top. It's about committing yourself fully to the people you serve.Mark shares glimpses of life outside the boardroom—from hiking with his Labradors in Akron's Metro Parks to binge-watching White Lotus to plotting a summer trip across Europe to see Robbie Williams live.These moments aren't distractions from leadership; they're reminders that authenticity—showing up fully human—is part of what makes great leadership real.Themes discussed in this episode:Why legacy companies must unlearn traditional business practices to survive industry disruptionHow EV tire technology and connected mobility are reshaping Goodyear's product strategyRevitalizing a legacy automotive brand: How Goodyear is transforming after 125 yearsBuilding supplier collaboration models for the future of the automotive supply chainMaking accountability and measurable KPIs the foundation of leadership transformationEmbedding innovation across all departments, not just R&D, to stay competitiveWhy reconnecting leadership with shop floor operations drives meaningful cultural changeHow Goodyear is rallying 68,000 global employees around a bold new vision for growthFeatured guest: Mark StewartWhat he does: Mark is the Chief Executive Officer and President of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, joining the company and its Board of Directors in January 2024.

Every visit, every walk, every overnight stay carries the weight of trust placed in us. It's a serious responsibility, requiring professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care. But it's also one of the most rewarding jobs in the world. We get to build relationships, make a difference in pets' lives, and be a source of peace for their families. That's why we show up every day with both dedication and gratitude -- because caring for pets is not just a service, it's a calling.
