A change to when votes are counted in Travis County caused results on primary election night to be delayed for hours, leaving several local races uncalled late into Tuesday evening. In the heavily-watched race for the U.S. Senate nomination, State Representative James Talarico beat U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett, and the top Republican vote-getters, incumbent John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton, will face a runoff. Meanwhile, other polling changes across Texas created confusion and the slowdown of proclaiming a winner in many key statewide races. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by producers Elissa Castles and Eva Ruth Moravec to unpack what happened in local and state races, who came out ahead, and what the record-breaking voter turnout says about Travis County voters.

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Maria Solodilova, Head of Business Development at Yango Ads.(00:00) - Intro (01:17) - In This Episode (04:23) - Mobile Ad Mediation Business Development Explained (09:58) - AI Credibility In Ad Tech Sales (18:42) - Why Adtech is Really a Marketplace With Its Own Economics (30:30) - Programmatic Ad Auctions And Inventory Dynamics (35:22) - Building Trust in Programmatic Advertising Transparency (43:39) - The Future of Contextual Advertising (46:47) - Buy-in Tip (48:03) - Books Recommendations (51:07) - Happiness System Summary: Maria takes us on a guided tour across the adtech landscape from a bird's-eye view, describing a real-time marketplace where mobile ad mediation converts app usage into revenue through auctions that price every impression. She explains how supply-side work at Yango Ads centers on SDK integration, auction behavior, and performance tradeoffs that directly shape earnings once systems operate in production. The conversation frames adtech as a market governed by supply, demand, and incentives, which explains why performance shifts often outrun planning models and attribution frameworks. She grounds AI and transparency in observable mechanics, showing how reconciled data, clear ownership, and contextual execution support trust and durable monetization.About MariaMaria Solodilova leads global business development at Yango Ads, where she oversees revenue growth and strategic partnerships for an AI-driven mobile ad monetization platform. She manages distributed teams across the United States, China, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, with consistent delivery of seven-figure quarterly revenue and sustained performance above enterprise sales targets.Her career spans more than a decade across North America, Europe, and Latin America, with senior roles in AdTech, SaaS, and LegalTech. Before joining Yango Ads, Maria led international business development at Yandex, where she launched AI-based B2B products into APAC, LATAM, and MENA markets, shortened sales cycles through stronger qualification, and increased average contract value.Earlier roles at BrandMonitor and KidZania placed her in direct collaboration with Fortune 500 brands and executive leadership teams on complex, multi-market commercial partnerships. Her work consistently centers on enterprise sales execution, partner ecosystems, and monetization strategy in competitive mobile and platform-driven markets.Mobile Ad Mediation Business Development ExplainedMobile ad mediation explains how free apps generate revenue without charging users directly. The system converts attention into income through auctions that run inside apps every time an impression becomes available. Maria frames the work in plain terms when she talks to people outside adtech. Users open familiar apps, skip payment screens, and still participate in a transaction. Attention becomes the currency, and ads become the exchange mechanism.“When you are not paying for the product, chances are you might be one. You are paying with your attention.”Mediation platforms sit at the center of that exchange. Multiple ad networks bid for each impression in real time, and the highest bid wins access to a specific user. Maria's role focuses on the supply side at Yango Ads, where her team works with mobile app developers and game studios. They integrate the SDK, tune performance, and make sure the auction behaves in ways that maximize revenue without degrading the app experience.The work demands technical fluency because developers expect concrete answers. A normal week includes discussions about factors that materially affect earnings, such as:SDK weight and its impact on app performance.Latency and how slow auctions affect fill rates.Competition density across ad networks.User experience tradeoffs that influence retention and ad tolerance.These conversations move quickly from high-level strategy to implementation details. Credibility depends on understanding how the auction behaves in production, not how it sounds in a pitch.The revenue dynamics often surprise people. Large payouts do not always come from enterprise publishers with recognizable logos. Maria has seen individual developers build a single game, monetize through ads, and generate seven-figure income. These outcomes come from timing, execution, and exposure to competitive bidding, rather than procurement cycles or brand recognition. That possibility keeps many operators engaged in the space, even as the vocabulary around ads grows tired and recycled.Business development in mediation operates as a bridge between market mechanics and human outcomes. The role connects developers who want predictable income with systems that price attention at scale. Clear explanations, technical competence, and realistic expectations shape long-term partnerships more than lofty promises ever could.Key takeaway: Mobile ad mediation monetizes attention through real-time auctions between ad networks. If you work with apps or monetization platforms, learn how bidding dynamics, SDK choices, and latency affect revenue in production. That understanding helps you evaluate partners faster, ask better technical questions, and make monetization decisions that hold up after launch.AI Credibility In Ad Tech SalesAI credibility in programmatic advertising depends on how clearly people describe what the systems actually do. Many sales and marketing conversations drift into abstraction because AI gets framed as something mystical or unknowable. Maria grounds the discussion in operational reality. Machine learning already drives decisions across ad tech, including bidding, ranking, fraud detection, and optimization. Those systems learn from patterns in data and apply them repeatedly at scale, which makes them useful in everyday workflows rather than theoretical debates.Maria's confidence comes from repetition and exposure across roles. Before working at Yango Ads, she spent years explaining machine learning in brand protection environments where trust mattered. Clients wanted to know how models learned, where signals came from, and why outputs behaved the way they did. That experience shaped how she talks about AI today. Credibility grows when explanations stay concrete and connected to observable behavior.“You can build transparency around where the artificial intelligence pulls information from, how it learns patterns, and how it supports the work of an everyday marketer.”That same philosophy shapes how Maria coaches her business development team. Everyone is expected to understand a shared vocabulary that shows practical fluency. The goal is not academic depth. The goal is conversational confidence around the mechanics that influence outcomes:Precision and recall explain how models balance accuracy and coverage.Gradient boosting explains how multiple weak signals combine into stronger predictions.Feedback loops explain how systems improve over time based on results.Programmatic advertising gives those concepts a clear home. Programmatic systems coordinate monetization at a scale that direct sales teams cannot match. Large platforms with massive audiences can sell inventory directly. Smaller developers ship many apps and need automated ways to monetize each one without maintaining advertiser relationships. AI-driven auctions price impressions, select creatives, and allocate demand across millions of opportunities every second. That coordination happens continuously and quietly, which makes it easy to underestimate.Maria pays closest attention to AI applications that operate below the hype line...

What's up folks, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Anthony Rotio, Chief Data Strategy Officer at GrowthLoop.(00:00) - Intro (01:10) - In this episode (04:05) - Journeying From Robotics to Modern Marketing Systems (11:05) - Most Marketing Systems Don't Learn Because They Lack Feedback Loops (16:10) - The Martech Engineering Talent Gap (19:51) - AI Will Amplify Whoever Has the Cleanest Causal Feedback Loop (29:17) - Agent Context Graphs for Drift Detection in Marketing Systems (31:51) - Humans Will Set Hypotheses, AI Will Accelerates Iteration (35:50) - The Evolution of Retail Media Networks (45:07) - How Commerce Networks Redefine Targeting With Governed Data (48:26) - How Agent to Agent Commerce Operates Inside Marketing Funnels (53:04) - Google Universal Commerce Protocol Explained (54:43) - Personal Happiness System (56:30) - Favorite Books Summary: Anthony traces a path from robotics and computer science to his current role where he approaches marketing as an engineering system. He explains how execution-first marketing stacks weaken feedback loops and fragment data, which slows learning and iteration. He introduces the agent context graph as a causality model that lets AI simulate and predict customer behavior with greater confidence. The conversation also covers retail media networks, first-party data monetization through governed access, and a shift toward zero-to-zero marketing driven by agent-to-agent transactions. He closes by stressing that strong data foundations determine who can compete as marketing becomes more automated and agent-driven.About AnthonyAnthony Rotio is the Chief Data Strategy Officer at GrowthLoop, where he leads partnerships and builds generative AI product features for marketers, including multi-agent systems, AI-driven audience building, and benchmarking and evaluation work. He previously served as GrowthLoop's Chief Customer Officer, where he built and led teams across data engineering, data science, and solutions architecture while supporting product development and strategic sales efforts.Before GrowthLoop, Anthony spent nearly six years at AB InBev, where he led a $100M owned retail business unit with full P&L responsibility and drove major growth through operational and digital transformation work. He also led U.S. marketing for Budweiser, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra, Stella Artois, and other brands across music, food, and related consumer programs. He earned a B.A. in computer science from Harvard, played linebacker on the Harvard football team, founded the consumer product Pizza Shelf, and holds a Google Professional Cloud Architect certification.Journeying From Robotics to Modern Marketing SystemsAnthony's career started far away from marketing. He trained as a computer scientist and spent his early years working with robotics and reinforcement learning. His first exposure to a learning agent left a lasting impression because the system behaved less like traditional software and more like something adaptive. That experience shaped how he would later think about work, systems, and feedback. He learned early that progress comes from loops that learn, not static instructions.That mindset followed him into an unexpected chapter at AB InBev. Anthony entered a world defined by scale, brands, and operational complexity. He treated his technical background like a carpenter treats tools, useful only when applied to real problems. Running marketing across major beer brands taught him how value is created inside large organizations. It also exposed a recurring issue. Marketing teams had ambition and data, but execution moved slowly because ideas had to travel through layers of translation before anything reached customers.That friction became impossible to ignore. Audience definitions moved through tickets. Campaigns waited on queries. Data teams became bottlenecks through no fault of their own. Anthony felt the pull back toward technology, where systems could shorten the distance between intent and action. That pull led him to GrowthLoop, where he joined early and worked directly with customers. The appeal was immediate. The product connected straight to cloud data and removed several layers of mediation that marketing teams had accepted as normal.As language models improved, Anthony recognized a familiar pattern. Audience building behaved like a translation problem. Marketers described people and intent in natural language, while systems demanded structured logic. Early experiments showed that natural language models could close that gap. Anthony framed the idea clearly.“Audience building is a translation problem. You start with a business idea and you end with a query on top of data.”Momentum followed quickly. Customers like Indeed and Google responded because speed changed behavior. Teams experimented more often and refined audiences based on results instead of assumptions. Conversations with Sam Altman and collaboration with OpenAI reinforced that this capability belonged in the core workflow. Standing on stage at Google Cloud Next marked a clear moment of validation.That arc reshaped Anthony's role into Chief Data Strategy Officer. His work now focuses on building systems that learn over time. Faster audience creation leads to shorter feedback loops. Shorter loops improve decision quality. Better decisions compound. The throughline from robotics to marketing holds steady. Systems improve when learning sits at the center of execution.Key takeaway: Career leverage often comes from carrying one mental model across multiple domains. Anthony applied learning systems thinking from computer science to enterprise marketing, then rebuilt the tooling to match that mindset. You can do the same by identifying where translation slows your work, then designing interfaces that move intent directly into action. When feedback loops tighten, progress accelerates naturally.Most Marketing Systems Don't Learn Because They Lack Feedback LoopsMarketing organizations generate enormous amounts of activity, but learning often lags behind execution. Campaigns launch on schedule, dashboards fill with numbers, and post-campaign reviews happen right on time. The pattern repeats month after month with small adjustments and familiar explanations. Over time, teams become highly efficient at producing output while remaining surprisingly weak at retaining knowledge. The system rewards motion, visibility, and short-term lifts, which slowly conditions teams to forget what they learned last quarter.Anthony connects this behavior to structural pressure inside large organizations. Quarterly reporting cycles dominate priorities, and executive tenures continue to compress. Leaders feel urgency to show impact quickly and publicly. Compounding growth requires early patience and repeated reinforcement, which rarely aligns with board expectations or career incentives. Short time horizons shape long-term behavior, even when everyone agrees that learning should stack over time.“When you think about compound interest in finance, the early part looks almost linear. People want big bumps now, even if those bumps never build momentum.”Technology choices deepen the problem. Many companies invested heavily in customer data and built impressive data clouds that capture transactions, events, and engagement in detail. Activation remains slow because teams still rely on handoffs between marketing and data groups. A familiar sequence plays out:A marketer defines a campaign and requests an audience.A ticket moves to a data team for interpretation and SQL.The audience returns weeks later.The marketer realizes the audience lacks scale for ne...

We look into how a family-run estate is using data, design and technology without losing that human, hospitality feel.Featuring David Ohanjanian from Up Hotel Agency, Sharon Cowler of Netaffinity, Prem Jethwa-Odedra from Biteluxe, Alessandra Leoni from Focus on Hospitality, Scot Turner from Auden HospitalityWhat We Explore- Personalisation & Story: How Whittlebury Park is using small, specific touches and guest data to move beyond generic messaging and create stays that feel remembered, not just recorded.- Websites & Conversion: Why a clear brief, flexible design and a shorter booking journey turned Whittlebury's website into both a brand window and a serious revenue driver.- Tech & Human Balance: How booking engines, WhatsApp, on-site data capture and smarter F&B and spatial design can support direct bookings and guest satisfaction without losing the heart of hospitality.What stayed with me from this roundtable is how hoteliers challenges are shared, whether running a vast estate or opening a single independent hotel. The tools are there, but the real work is choosing the right ones, aligning owners and teams, and keeping the guest's reality at the centre. Sometimes - tech is not the answer.Hoteliers' Voice is one of FeedSpot's top Hospitality Podcasts and is produced by Urban Podcasts.
El indicador principal alemán de confianza, el índice Ifo, se dispara a 88,6 en febrero desde los 87,6 en enero.. es el nivel más alto desde el verano pasado. Tanto la evaluación actual como las expectativas han mejorado a la par. Ante la incertidumbre comercial tras la suspensión de los aranceles firmados hasta ahora y el nuevo gravamen general de entre el 10 y el 15%, Europa ha decidido congelar el acuerdo comercial firmado con Washington en verano. El responsable de Comercio del Parlamento Europeo, Bernd Lange, va a proponer congelar el proceso de ratificación del cuerdo de la UE con EEUU hasta que hayan recibido detalles de Washington sobre la política comercial. La presidenta del BCE, Christine Lagarde, también pide claridad a EEUU para que determine con exactitud el alcance y la duración de los nuevos gravámenes anunciados por el presidente Trump. Cada vez es más evidente la distancia entre Eli Lilly y Novo Nordisk en los tratamientos para adelgazar. La danesa ha informado este lunes de que su tratamiento experimental, CagriSema, no ha logrado alcanzar el criterio principal con el que esperaba superar a su rival estadounidense.

Since we last heard from Kopparberg at our live podcast session at MAD//North in 2025, a lot has happened for the UK's largest fruit cider brand – namely, the launch of its refreshed creator and influencer strategy last spring. Since then, the brand has been on a mission to entice its core audience of young adults and maintain salience for shoppers in the Beer and Cider aisle through savvy partnerships with creators. In this episode, we're joined once again by Kopparberg's senior customer marketing manager Nancy Dales to deep dive the role of creators in bringing creativity (one of Kopparberg's brand pillars) to life on social. Expect to learn why Kopparberg had to learn to let go when handing over the creative reins, what it takes to get internal buy-in for your riskiest campaign ideas, and how to sustain cultural relevance outside of your busiest sales period.

Sergio Pérez entrevista al patinador Ernesto Montiel y a Paula Vitores, Marketing Manager de Proactiv Entertainment, sobre el espectáculo 2026. El mes de febrero trae consigo el regreso de la magia de Disney on Ice a España, un evento que se describe como una cita ineludible para las familias y los amantes de la factoría Disney. Bajo el título Vive tus sueños, esta gira internacional promete transportar a los espectadores a través de un viaje nostálgico y espectacular sobre el hielo. El espectáculo, que destaca por su capacidad de renovación anual, se presenta como una oportunidad única para que los adultos se reencuentren con su niño interior mientras los más pequeños descubren a sus personajes favoritos en un formato dinámico y artístico de primer nivel. La gira española de este año contempla tres paradas estratégicas en las principales ciudades del país. El pistoletazo de salida tendrá lugar en Valencia, donde el espectáculo se instalará del 5 al 8 de febrero. Posteriormente, la magia se trasladará a la capital, Madrid, para deleitar al público del 12 al 15 de febrero, finalizando su recorrido en Barcelona del 19 al 22 del mismo mes. Esta planificación subraya la importancia de España como un mercado clave para las grandes producciones internacionales de entretenimiento, consolidando a estas ciudades como referentes en la acogida de eventos de clase mundial. Disney on ice En una entrevista exclusiva desde Suiza, el patinador Eduardo Montiel compartió los entresijos de esta ambiciosa producción. Montiel destacó que Vive tus sueños es un show diseñado para todas las edades, fusionando relatos clásicos con éxitos contemporáneos. Entre las historias que cobran vida sobre el hielo se encuentran Cenicienta y La Bella y Bestia, junto a éxitos más recientes como Coco, Frozen y Moana. Precisamente, se mencionó que el segmento dedicado a Moana es el más largo y elaborado de la obra, permitiendo a los seguidores de la película disfrutar de una inmersión profunda en la historia de Vaiana y personajes como Tamatoa. Eduardo Montiel, de origen mexicano, expresó un orgullo especial por la inclusión de Coco en el repertorio. El personaje de Miguel se ha convertido en uno de los grandes favoritos del público español, generando una conexión emocional inmediata. Según el patinador, la representación de la cultura mexicana a través de esta película de Pixar aporta una alegría y colorido únicos al espectáculo. La destreza técnica necesaria para realizar acrobacias sobre patines mientras se viste una caracterización completa añade un grado de dificultad que el público sabe valorar y aplaudir con entusiasmo. Disney on ice La preparación detrás de un evento de estas características es exhaustiva. El elenco se somete a semanas de intensos ensayos previos a la gira para perfeccionar las coreografías y garantizar la seguridad en cada salto y giro. Montiel explicó que, aunque el espectáculo es universal y los valores de Disney resuenan en todo el mundo, cada público tiene su forma particular de reaccionar. En este sentido, la diversidad del cast, compuesto por profesionales de múltiples nacionalidades, incluidos patinadores españoles, es un pilar fundamental que enriquece la experiencia artística y fomenta una comunicación fluida dentro del equipo. Paula Vítores, marketing manager de Proactiv Entertainment, profundizó en el impacto emocional y la trayectoria de Disney on Ice en España, donde la marca lleva presente más de 30 años. Esta longevidad ha permitido que el evento se convierta en una tradición generacional; hoy en día, los niños que asistieron a las primeras ediciones regresan ahora como padres o abuelos, acompañando a las nuevas generaciones. La capacidad de generar emociones compartidas es, según Vítores, el secreto del éxito continuado de estas producciones en el territorio nacional. Una de las grandes novedades de este año es el regreso a Valencia tras una década de ausencia. El escenario elegido es el Roig Arena, un recinto que se posiciona como una sede de referencia para este tipo de espectáculos multitudinarios. Paula Vítores subrayó la importancia de contar con infraestructuras de vanguardia para poder desplegar un montaje técnico tan complejo. La acogida en Valencia ha sido calificada de fantástica, demostrando que el público valenciano anhelaba el retorno de este evento emblemático a su ciudad. Disney on ice En el apartado técnico, la producción es simplemente colosal. Más de cien personas trabajan incansablemente para que cada función sea impecable. El equipo se divide entre unas 45 personas fijas que viajan con el tour y un grupo de operarios locales encargados del montaje y desmontaje del escenario. Además, se han incorporado innovaciones tecnológicas como sensores automáticos que siguen a los patinadores por la pista para asegurar que la iluminación sea siempre perfecta, elevando el estándar de calidad de la puesta en escena. El espectáculo no olvida sus raíces y cuenta con la presencia indispensable de Mickey y Minnie Mouse como maestros de ceremonias. La caracterización de los personajes sigue los estrictos protocolos de calidad, asegurando que los espectadores vean exactamente lo mismo que verían en los parques temáticos de Disneyland. Momentos icónicos, como el número de Frozen donde llega a nevar dentro del pabellón, son los que terminan de sellar el pacto de magia con el espectador, ofreciendo una experiencia inmersiva que justifica por qué este espectáculo sigue siendo el líder indiscutible del entretenimiento sobre hielo a nivel global.
The February 4 edition of the AgNet News Hour was all about gearing up for what many farmers call the Super Bowl of agriculture — the World Ag Expo, set for February 10–12 in Tulare. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill were joined by Megan Lausten, Marketing Manager for the World Ag Expo, who offered a behind-the-scenes look at the scale, impact, and excitement surrounding the world's largest annual agricultural trade show. Lausten explained that preparations for the event are already in full swing, with massive equipment beginning to roll onto the grounds weeks ahead of opening day. More than 1,200 exhibitors will fill over 2.6 million square feet of exhibit space, showcasing everything from cutting-edge automation and irrigation systems to livestock equipment, soil technology, and farm management tools. One of the most important takeaways from the conversation was that World Ag Expo is far more than just a trade show — it's a major economic driver for the Central Valley. Lausten said the event generates more than $60 million in economic impact for Tulare County, while relying on the support of over 1,000 volunteers who help make the show run smoothly. Those volunteers, easily spotted in bright orange jackets, play a critical role in guiding attendees and keeping operations moving. Education remains a core mission of the Expo. Lausten highlighted the Seminar Center, where attendees can access free educational sessions with paid admission. Topics range from dairy and livestock management to safety, succession planning, and emerging ag technology. She also spotlighted the Women's Conference Pavilion, which returns this year with networking events, cooking demonstrations using California Grown products, and panels focused on women in agricultural technology and leadership. The hosts also discussed how accessible the event is for both farmers and the general public. Lausten emphasized that you don't have to be a grower to enjoy the Expo. Families, students, and community members are encouraged to attend and explore the Ag Ventures Learning Center and Ag Career and Education Pavilion, where young people can learn about the wide range of careers available in agriculture — from drone pilots to agronomists to engineers. Transportation and logistics were another highlight. Lausten encouraged attendees to take advantage of the free Park and Ride system, with locations across Tulare, Visalia, and Exeter, as well as free on-site parking and tram service throughout the grounds. She also stressed the importance of downloading the World Ag Expo mobile app, which allows visitors to plan their day, locate exhibitors, and navigate the massive grounds efficiently. The episode wrapped with reminders about the Expo's famous food scene, run entirely by local nonprofit groups that collectively raised more than $1 million last year, and a final encouragement to come prepared — with comfortable shoes, curiosity, and a full appetite. As Papagni put it, “If you want to see where agriculture is headed next, World Ag Expo is where it all comes together.”

A Winter Tradition Takes Root Frederick County's beloved Restaurant Week returns for its fifth anniversary, bringing 26 diverse eateries together for a week-long celebration of local flavor. Running from January 26th through February 1st, 2026, FredCo Eats has evolved from a modest 15-restaurant launch into a cornerstone event that strengthens the entire regional food economy. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Wendy May, Marketing Manager for the Frederick County Economic Development Authority, and Dan Myers, owner of Paladin Bar and Grill, to discuss how this initiative has transformed the local dining landscape. Recording from Paladin's original Stephens City location, the trio explores what makes this year's event particularly special. From COVID Recovery to Community Catalyst The story behind FredCo Eats reveals a strategic response to challenging times. Wendy explains that the Economic Development Authority launched the program five years ago as the region emerged from the pandemic. At that time, the organization recognized a critical gap in their community relationships—they needed stronger connections with local restaurants and agricultural producers. Rather than creating a standalone event, however, the EDA developed FredCo Eats as an umbrella brand. This approach allows the initiative to serve as a messaging hub that elevates existing efforts across the entire food economy, from farm crawls to agricultural conferences. Now, the brand is expanding into a standalone website at fredcoeats.com, which will launch in March as a comprehensive resource for anyone looking to start, scale, or expand a food or beverage business in the region. Diverse Dining Options for Every Palate This year's lineup demonstrates remarkable variety in both cuisine and participation style. Restaurants can choose from three categories: multi-course menus, meal deals, or promotional discounts. This flexibility ensures that food trucks, cafes, and fine dining establishments can all participate in ways that make sense for their operations. Among the multi-course menu participants, diners will find Carrabba's Italian Grill, Clem's Kitchen, Curry Cuisine, P2 at Woolen Mill, Paladin, Sal & Gino's, and Vault and Cellar. Meanwhile, meal deal options include Blue Ridge Baking Company, Daily Buzz Cafe (at both Middletown and Stephens City locations), Donut Dive food truck at Weber's Nursery, and Franklin's Smokin Barnyard, also operating from Weber's parking lot. Additionally, the roster features Jordan Springs Market, Laurel Cafe at Laurel Ridge Community College, Mi Ranchito, Paco's Market and Paco's Mexi Mart, Pan D Endz Jamaican Cuisine, Poblanos, Shaffer's Barbecue and Market, both Shawnee Springs Market locations, and West Oaks Farm Market. Rounding out the list, Bam Bam's Barbecue food truck, Italian Touch, and Touch of Italy offer percentage-off promotions. The Original Gangsters Eight establishments have participated every single year since the program's inception, demonstrating their commitment to the community initiative. Both Paladin locations, Vault and Cellar, Daily Buzz, Jordan Springs Market, Paco's Market, Shaffer's Barbecue, and Bam Bam's Barbecue have been there from day one. Paco's journey particularly exemplifies the growth Restaurant Week has witnessed. Starting as a food truck called Paco's Tacos during the first event, the business has since expanded to include Paco's Market and later Paco's Mexi Mart - a testament to how local food businesses can thrive with community support. Local Sourcing Takes Center Stage Dan shares his enthusiasm about this year's special approach at Paladin. For the fifth anniversary, his team is focusing heavily on local sourcing, partnering with West Oaks Farm Market for beef, Spring Valley Greens, obtaining mushrooms from his cousin Jessica Neff at Apple Hill Farm, and incorporating microgreens from Robbie D's operation. Furthermore, Dan reveals that Paige Cross at Farm to Fork (formerly Flour and Water) in Woodstock supplies all the bread for Paladin's restaurants—a behind-the-scenes collaboration that many diners never realize exists. These partnerships not only enhance menu quality but also circulate dollars throughout the local economy. The Stephens City location will feature meatballs, cast-iron cornbread, and locally sourced ingredients, while P2 in Clearbrook will offer a completely different, yet similar menu, including scotch eggs, bruschetta, mushroom carbonara, and duck—proteins that rarely appear on local menus. More Than Just a Meal Restaurant Week offers participants the chance to win prizes through a passport program. Diners who collect stamps from three or more participating restaurants can enter drawings for prize packs, with each additional stamp beyond three counting as an extra entry. The more restaurants you visit, the better your chances of winning. Passports are available for download and printing at fredcoeats.com, with limited physical copies available at participating restaurants and the Winchester Frederick County Convention and Visitors Bureau. If diners forget to get a stamp, they can submit a photo or receipt as proof of their visit. Beyond individual participation, the event encourages businesses to support one another. Realty companies and other local businesses often bring lunch back to the office or take their teams out during Restaurant Week, creating a "biz-to-biz" camaraderie that strengthens the entire community. Strategic Timing and Lasting Impact The decision to schedule Restaurant Week during the last week of January proves strategic on multiple levels. This timing addresses the natural lull that restaurants experience after the holiday season but before Valentine's Day, providing a much-needed boost during slower months. Moreover, it gives diners a compelling reason to venture out during cold, dark winter evenings when staying home feels more appealing. For restaurant owners like Dan, the event creates exciting internal dynamics as well. His teams at the Stephens City and Clearbrook locations engage in friendly competition throughout the week, tracking which location sells more of each menu item. This competitive spirit energizes staff and drives creativity in menu development. Wendy notes that over the five years, Restaurant Week has fostered genuine relationships among participating restaurants. What began as simple cross-promotion has evolved into restaurant owners visiting each other's establishments, trying menus, meeting staff, and building lasting professional connections that extend well beyond the event itself. Looking Ahead As FredCo Eats enters its sixth year of planning, the initiative continues expanding its mission. The upcoming fredcoeats.com website will serve as a central hub connecting aspiring food entrepreneurs with resources from the county, state, and federal levels, including financing options, contacts at the Extension office, the Small Business Development Center, and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. This evolution reflects the program's broader vision: creating a sustainable ecosystem where homesteaders can learn to scale their backyard operations, food trucks can transition to brick-and-mortar locations, and established restaurants can continue growing—all while maintaining the unique character that makes Frederick County's food scene special. Registration for future Restaurant Weeks remains open year-round, with the event consistently scheduled for the last Monday of January. As Wendy emphasizes, the more the community supports local establishments, the more these businesses can thrive and maintain the distinctive flavor that sets Frederick County apart.

In this episode: What is Hushmail? Why Canadian therapists should use Hushmail What encryption is and why you need to use it How you can get started with Hushmail What is Hushmail? 'Hushmail is a secure email platform … built specifically for healthcare and therapy practices. It lets you send and receive secure, encrypted emails, and it helps you build secure forms where you can collect information securely with legally binding signatures - and it's all in one place.' - Anabeli Jackson The two cornerstones of Hushmail are focused on client and clinician security when sending sensitive emails and documents online, and simplicity since you don't need to do any tech implementation yourself! These essential emails and documents are securely sent and kept private and secure by using encryption to protect them. Why Canadian therapists should use Hushmail You may be asking: Why should I pay to use Hushmail instead of the available, free services? The answer is this: Canadian therapists handle highly sensitive information from multiple clients. Using a free email provider simply does not provide enough security and protection, while Hushmail guarantees it. 'We make it really practical to have [your client's private information] safeguarded, because encryption is the one step … that you can put in place to have your information secure … So [Hushmail] supports federal law, but also with provincial privacy laws.' - Anabeli Jackson Hushmail provides the security that you and your clients need to send private information without concern in an easy, simple way. Plus, it is a Canadian company that is PIPEDA and HIPAA compliant! What encryption is and why you need to use it Encryption is essentially a method of scrambling the information contained in emails and documents so that it cannot be understood by any third party, other than the intended recipient. With Hushmail, you have a key that both scrambles and unscrambles the message which only you and your client has access to. '[Encryption] is relevant because nowadays the online risk and cyber security … there's a lot of bad actors out there, and you don't want this information out there. You don't want this information to be seen by people who are not the intended recipients. So, encryption is a very easy way to protect that information.' - Anabeli Jackson How you can get started with Hushmail Take the step now to secure your communications with clients, and save both them and yourself the stress and anxiety of worrying whether the information is safe. And with Hushmail, that peace of mind will not break the bank. For purely email purposes, you can get Hushmail for $16.99 CAD. If you want to include the forms and signatures, it is $24.99 CAD.

New on the Get More Frank Podcast: LIVE with Lopes Season 8 Episode 2 with David Long.This episode is going to offend the right people.If your dealership feels busy but the scoreboard is flat, it is not “the market”. It is reactive leadership, optional standards, and too much complexity. David and I break down what actually wins in 2026 for car dealers: simple execution, real accountability, and an operating cadence your managers can enforce daily.We go straight at the most expensive lie in automotive retail: “we just need more leads.” Lead volume does not fix weak process. New tech does not fix inconsistency. More discount does not fix lost trust. The fix is boring and it works: role clarity, standards with consequences, fast and consistent lead handling, and disciplined follow up. If your store is chaotic, adding more opportunities just exposes the chaos faster.Then we get into inventory acquisition and trade capture. If you want to buy more used cars, increase trade ins, and stop living off walk in traffic, incoming phone calls, and internet leads, you need a real buy center, not a hobby. We talk appraisal volume, appraisal follow up, private party acquisition, trade acquisition, and why the wrong person running acquisition turns a buy center into a money leak. If your acquisition plan is “we'll do it when we have time”, you do not have a plan.We also hit the silent killers inside most stores:Too many priorities, too many meetings, too many exceptions, too many “special cases”, too many handoffs, and nobody owning the outcome. That is how leads get missed, trades get lost, customers get ghosted, and managers stay “busy” while gross and momentum slide.If you are a Dealer Principal, GM, GSM, UCM, Sales Manager, BDC leader, Internet Manager, or Marketing Manager, you will hear exactly why stores lose opportunities even while spending big money on marketing and advertising: slow response time, unclear ownership, inconsistent standards, and a sales process that changes depending on who touches the deal.People ask questions like:Why do dealerships lose leads? Usually it is speed, consistency, and follow up, not “lead quality”.How do I increase trade ins? Increase appraisal volume, tighten follow up, and track trade capture like a real KPI.What is a buy center? A dedicated acquisition operation, staffed and managed like a business, built to buy cars from consumers and maximize trade capture.How do I improve dealership performance fast? Simplify the operating cadence, assign ownership, and enforce standards daily.If you have been searching for any of this, this episode is built for you:dealership leadership training, dealer growth strategy 2026, reactive vs proactive dealership management, dealer accountability, sales management standards, automotive retail operations, BDC best practices, lead handling process, lead response time, appointment setting process, internet sales process, CRM discipline, dealership KPIs, buy center strategy, how to build a buy center, how to buy more used cars, used car acquisition strategy, private party acquisition, trade capture strategy, trade in appraisal process, appraisal follow up process, inventory acquisition, and dealership operating cadence.Quick self audit before you listen:Are your standards written and enforced, or just talked about?Does every lead have one owner, or five “helpers”?Do you measure trade capture and appraisal volume weekly, or guess?Is your buy center run by an A player, or whoever is available?Does your store run on one simple cadence, or a thousand exceptions?
