In this episode of “The Valley Today,” host Janet Michael welcomed Brandy Hawkins Boies, Director of Public Relations and Special Events, and Dr. Kim Blosser, President of Laurel Ridge Community College, for a candid and wide-ranging discussion about the college's evolving role in the Shenandoah Valley. The conversation offered listeners a rare glimpse behind the scenes of an institution that has become a cornerstone for education, workforce development, and community growth in the region. Dr. Blosser, only the fifth president in the college's history and the third woman to hold the position, shared her deep-rooted connection to the area and her passion for serving its diverse population. “I have loved this area my whole life,” she reflected, emphasizing how her local upbringing informs her leadership and understanding of the community's unique needs. This personal touch, Janet noted, brings an extra layer of empathy and insight to the college's mission. The discussion highlighted the comprehensive nature of Laurel Ridge's offerings. Far from being just a stepping stone for recent high school graduates, the college serves students from all walks of life—ranging in age from 17 to 73. Whether it's dual enrollment programs for high schoolers, short-term workforce training, or adult education for those seeking a career change or new skills, Laurel Ridge is committed to meeting learners where they are. Dr. Blosser and Brandy recounted stories of students returning to education after decades, veterans seeking new directions, and professionals upskilling in fields like artificial intelligence and bioscience. A recurring theme was the accessibility and affordability of community college education. Dr. Blosser explained how state funding, tuition, and the college's foundation work together to keep costs low, making higher education attainable for more people. Yet, she was candid about the challenges: Virginia's community colleges are among the lowest funded in the nation, and starting new, high-demand programs often requires creative fundraising and community support. The college's Helping Hands Fund, for example, provides emergency assistance to students facing unexpected obstacles, ensuring that a flat tire or a family crisis doesn't derail their educational journey. The conversation also addressed common misconceptions about community colleges. Many assume that tuition covers all expenses or that the majority of students are recent high school graduates. In reality, Laurel Ridge's student body is a vibrant mix of ages, backgrounds, and ambitions. The college's impact extends beyond the classroom, with over 80% of graduates staying in the region to become nurses, teachers, business owners, and civic leaders—directly contributing to the Valley's economic and social vitality. Janet, Brandy, and Dr. Blosser underscored the importance of community engagement, encouraging listeners to support the college not just financially, but also by advocating for better funding and spreading the word about its programs. They emphasized that the hardest step for many is simply walking through the front door, but once inside, students find a welcoming, supportive environment dedicated to helping them succeed. As the episode wrapped up, the message was clear: Laurel Ridge Community College is more than an educational institution—it's a launchpad for dreams, a safety net for those in transition, and a vital engine for regional progress. With leaders like Dr. Blosser at the helm and a community rallying behind its mission, Laurel Ridge continues to open doors and change lives, one student at a time.

Dear PR Friends!An article in BOF (Business of Fashion) recently caught my attention: it talked about influencers (TikTokers) hiring PR agencies to get themselves featured in traditional media.Interesting, right?When I tell you that PR is constantly evolving and knows how to take advantage of new technologies, I couldn't think of a better example.So why do these influencers want so-called traditional media to talk about them?Because TikTok stars are after the prestige and credibility that come with being featured in outlets like Vogue or the New York Times --- trading viral moments for lasting influence.An online article can remain accessible for years. And let's not forget about print magazines, which have an enviable shelf life compared to the instant nature of social media!I have to say, I love this: even these digital stars want to build something lasting, and traditional media still play a key role in growing their reputation.It may sound counterintuitive that, in an era dominated by influencer marketing, a TikToker with more than half a million followers would still be seeking traditional press coverage.But they've understood something important: media gives them access to millions of readers who never see them on TikTok... and also to brands that don't know them yet.As more and more creators aim to build sustainable careers beyond online fame, many are now seeking the legitimacy that only the press can provide.And those of you who follow me know my message well: PR is here to make you known.Don't miss one of our last two cohorts of the year to learn how to:GET FEATURED FOR FREE- September 29, 2025- November 10, 2025Sign up today!Don't miss our next FREE WORKSHOP on the #1 PR tool -- The Press Release here: September 17, 11 AM ETNataDON'T MISS OUR NEXT FREE WORKSHOP ➤ https://event.webinarjam.com/register/41/m420ws7mTO SEE THE PROGRAM: HOW TO GET FEATURED FOR FREE ➤ https://prschool.natapr.com/evergreen_en6-STEP GUIDE TO PRESS RELEASES THAT SELL ➤ https://prschool.natapr.com/pl/2147718415THE FREE NATA PR MODEL ➤ https://prschool.natapr.com/Nata-PR-ModelSIGN UP TO OUR LISTS ➤ www.natapr.comINSTAGRAM ➤ https://www.instagram.com/nata_pr_school/PR 101- 30-Minute Workshop ➤ https://bit.ly/4dVTx37
More women are now leaving the PR industry because of perimenopause and menopause than because of childbirth. That's a staggering, often invisible, that's shift happening right at the top. It's not burnout or work-life balance pushing them out, but a phase of life that's rarely acknowledged and even more rarely supported.This episode is an unflinching conversation about the real pressures senior women face. Why is menopause still a taboo topic at work? How misunderstood are its impacts on confidence, performance, and retention? And what must organizations and agencies do to support their best talent before they quietly walk away?

When people don't trust their institutions, the social fabric of a society is weakened. But that “trust deficit” can — and must — be closed. In this episode of our Future of Africa series, we explore innovative and practical approaches to enhancing trust and cooperation between people and their institutions -- from grassroots communities to global multilateral forums. Featuring Samson Itodo, a renowned advocate for electoral integrity and youth participation in Nigeria; Joseph Asunka, CEO of Afrobarometer; Chernor Bah, Minister of Information and Civic Education from Sierra Leone; and Chimdi Neliaku, a member of the African Union's Panel of the Future and Special Assistant to the Hon. Speaker, House of Representatives of Nigeria on Interparliamentary Affairs and Public Relations, this conversation showcases positive pathways to inclusive governance. Drawing on inspiring personal journeys, Samson shares insights from mobilizing young voters in Nigeria's democratic processes; Chernor brings decades of advocacy experience as a youth leader who successfully integrated young voices into high-level peace, reconciliation, and education campaigns—now working from within government to broaden civic engagement and transparency in Sierra Leone; Chimdi reflects on empowering African youth within AU initiatives, showing how the next generation positively shapes governance; and Joseph brings years of public opinion research to explain the drivers of this trust deficit. Together, they highlight how inclusive leadership and effective citizen-government dialogue foster stronger trust, accountability, and intergenerational cooperation. Effective governance depends on mutual trust—between citizens, governments, institutions, and international organizations. This episode explains how that can be achieved. Samson Itodo represents dynamic young leadership in civil society – he has organized young voters and driven campaigns like “Not Too Young to Run,” giving him on-the-ground perspective on citizens' democratic aspirations and frustrations. Joseph Asunka offers a data-centric perspective, drawing from Afrobarometer's extensive public opinion research across Africa. His expertise in governance, accountability, and citizen engagement sheds light on the continent's internal dynamics influencing its external relations. Chernor Bah brings unique insights from both grassroots advocacy and government leadership, having led global youth initiatives, co-founded the A World at School campaign, and now as Sierra Leone's Minister of Information and Civic Education, actively broadening civic engagement and strengthening trust in government. Chimdi Neliaku represents the young communities and grassroots viewpoint – a young changemaker experienced with the Global Shapers Community and AU's youth initiatives, advocating for the next generation to have a seat at the table.

PR really is at a crossroads… we've got old playbooks and new players coming in who want to change the rules. In its report Mind the Gap, USC's Center for Public Relations reveals sharp divides between Gen Z and older professionals on everything from AI and hybrid work to media influence and corporate purpose. While Boomers and Gen X cling to the belief that human creativity will always be irreplaceable, Gen Z is charging ahead, optimistic about technology, eager for flexibility, and expecting brands to stand for something more than just profit. But will that energy survive once they step into leadership — or will they, too, get swallowed by the system?In this episode, we sit down with Fred Cook, Director of USC's Center for Public Relations and author of the Mind the Gap report, to explore whether we're training young professionals for a world that no longer exists. Are we too obsessed with purpose and not focused enough on performance? Are old myths about PR holding us back? And most importantly — can Gen Z avoid the mistakes their predecessors made, or are they destined to repeat them?

I would very like to get a review from you. Please send a note to me. Thanks, Peter! like to much appreciate a review from you!! Thank you!Feeling overwhelmed by the AI revolution sweeping through public relations? You're not alone. In this illuminating conversation, Pete Pachal, founder of Media Copilot AI, reveals to host Peter Woolfolk how PR professionals can transform their relationship with artificial intelligence from frustration to fruitful collaboration.The journey begins with a crucial mindset shift. Rather than viewing AI as a magical "Santa Claus" that instantly delivers perfect content, successful PR teams approach AI as a collaborative partner in an iterative process. This fundamental change in perspective opens up possibilities far beyond basic content generation, extending into campaign automation, targeted media monitoring, and even interactive interview training.Pachal walks us through specific applications that are revolutionizing PR workflows. Content creation remains the most requested capability, but the real value emerges when professionals provide sufficient context and choose the right AI tool for each specific task. When implemented correctly, AI advances projects from halfway complete to 80-90% finished—though human oversight remains essential due to AI's potential for errors.For teams struggling with expensive, feature-bloated software platforms, Pachal offers a compelling alternative: creating narrowly-focused AI tools tailored to specific clients or campaigns. This approach delivers precisely what PR professionals need without paying for unnecessary features. Perhaps most fascinating is the evolution of media training, where interactive AI now simulates interviews, challenges spokespersons with difficult questions, and provides constructive feedback—all customizable to mimic specific journalists or media personalities.Media Copilot offers various entry points for PR professionals looking to develop their AI skills, from accessible monthly sessions to comprehensive six-week courses with personalized coaching. For immediate value, download their free "100 Top AI Prompts for PR Pros" guide, which provides specific language patterns and prompting techniques that dramatically improve outputs.Don't let fear of falling behind paralyze you—start with small steps toward AI integration and discover how these powerful tools can enhance your creativity and efficiency while maintaining the human touch that defines great public relations work.

Witness to Yesterday (The Champlain Society Podcast on Canadian History)
A twenty-two-year-old cancer survivor and amputee, Terry set out from St. John's Newfoundland in April 1980, aiming to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. His first months on the road in Atlantic Canada and Quebec were not only physically taxing—he ran the equivalent of a marathon a day—but frustrating as Canadians were slow to recognize and support his endeavor. That all changed when he met a young man named Bill Vigars, who on behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society led a campaign to ensure that every person in Canada knew the story of this outstanding young man. Vigars was by Fox's side through all the highs and lows until the tragic end of his journey in Thunder Bay. A recurrence of his cancer cut short Terry's dream and, soon, his life. Now, for the first time, Vigars tells the inside story of the Marathon of Hope—the logistical nightmares, boardroom battles, and moments of pure magic—while giving us a fresh, insightful portrait of one of the greatest Canadians who ever lived. Bill Vigars was the Director of Public Relations and Fundraising for the Canadian Cancer Society's Ontario Division, and acted as Terry Fox's public relations organizer, his close friend and confidante. He set up several key events as the Run entered Toronto. Image Credit: Sutherland House If you like our work, please consider supporting it: bit.ly/support_WTY.

Ayeni Adekunle Samuel argues that Africa is often misunderstood or reduced to oversimplified stereotypes by global brands, agencies, and even tech platforms. Despite Africa's complexity, diversity, and economic importance, key decisions — including PR, marketing, and tech strategies — are still shaped in places like New York and London, often without African expertise or context. Ayeni shares his personal journey as a Nigerian entrepreneur building a pan-African and international PR firm, highlighting both the structural barriers (like bias, access to capital, lack of representation) and the opportunities (especially in areas like AI and local innovation).Listen For4:15 The Africa Strategy Mistake Global Brands Keep Making7:41 The Case for Local Advisors12:36 PR Prejudice: The Hidden Hurdles African Firms Face Abroad16:30 Africa Has Talent, But Not Opportunity17:10 Answer to Last Episode's Question from Guest David GallagherGuest: Ayeni Adekunle SamuelWebsite | Email | InstagramStories and Strategies WebsiteCurzon Public Relations WebsiteAre you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

Why is the PR industry still having the same tired conversation? Year after year, event after event… while the world moves on without us? We talk about getting a seat at the table, then sit quietly when we do. We debate metrics like we haven't had decades to solve them. We celebrate awards for campaigns that often say nothing and change even less.We hold events that are same panel conversations… different year.Somewhere along the way, the industry built for cultural leadership got stuck in a cycle of repetition, imposter syndrome, and comfort. David Gallagher of Folgate Advisors is a veteran voice who's seen the industry from the inside and isn't afraid to say what others won't. It's time to stop outsourcing our thinking and start redefining what this industry is actually for.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 2: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: The United States of America does not have a functioning government. The Trump Dictatorship and the Library of Congress – Congress which Mike Johnson runs via a porn app – DELETED part of the official online edition of the Constitution – the part that limits the suspension of Habeas Corpus and bans presidents accepting foreign bribes. The Library says it was a coding error and would be fixed soon…ish. Yeah, the coding in Trump’s DNA. The White House had to DENY that the White House Chief of Staff was to meet last night with the Vice President, the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, and the FBI Director to discuss what to DO about the Trump/Epstein cover-up scandal, and what to do WITH the RECORDING of the Deputy Attorney General’s two days’ of bargaining with a convicted pedophile and child sex trafficker… and nobody seemed to notice that the headline was that WHATEVER the Chief of Staff, A-G, Deputy A-G, and FBI Director WERE meeting with the Vice President ABOUT… the PRESIDENT WASN’T GOING TO BE THERE. There is no competent executive authority, no congressional or senate oversight, no reliable judiciary. The United States of America does NOT NOW have a functioning government. The nominal president has spent the last few days making up economic statistics and poll numbers and threatening his predecessors with prosecution for imaginary crimes punishable by death while wandering around the roof of the White House, and phoning in to a business network with racist moronity the content of which is just this side of a 19th century minstrel show, or continuing to get more and more in bed, figuratively, with a convicted pedophile and child sex trafficker, in a scheme to cover-up her crimes, her late partner crimes, and whatever the president’s role was or was not… in them. And the first and seventh people in the line of presidential succession were going to have dinner with their Epstein expert who just met with Gulaine Maxwell and the head of the FBI and the woman who RUNS the White House but NOT the president and you know it almost doesn’t MATTER if they were meeting to try to figure out what to do about Trumpsteen or not. By 3:14 PM Eastern the Library of Congress said Sections 8, 9 and 10 of the 1st Article were back online so, shrug emoji, I guess there are limits on emoluments and suspending Habeas Corpus… for now. Fifteen minutes later, however, there were still huge swaths of all three sections missing from the official online version of the Constitution. But coding. And so what, it’s just the ONLINE version, what’s the difference? Trump just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because she wouldn’t delete the official online jobs numbers and will soon find someone to post fabricated numbers online which will then be accepted as real – and official – because they’re ONLINE. There is no functioning government, just a mediocre Public Relations firm. Understaffed. Trying to sell Edsels, Google Glasses, New Coke, and fascism. B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Acting NASA "Director" Duffy wants to put nukes on the moon, even though that was the plot of the re-make of the movie "The Time Machine" in which nukes on the moon destroyed the moon and rendered earth uninhabitable good call reality TV boy. The New York Times won't stop trying to make Harvard-Fetch happen. And the Trump Council on Lack of Fitness, the one Super Bowl star Saquon Barkley turned down membership on? The Council announced he accepted. C-Block (55:00) THURSDAYS WITH THURBER: Of all his great stories, the one that might have been the most likely to have been written in order to be performed aloud, I humbly offer you this week: "The Night The Bed Fell."
