Greg Marchildon speaks with Dimitry Anastakis about his book Re-Creation, Fragmentation and Resilience: A Brief History of Canada since 1945 This book is an engaging survey of post-Second World War Canada, exploring ten themes key to the Canadian experience since 1945. An accessible narrative brings together recent scholarship to show how Canadians first re-created the nation following the Second World War, then experienced the fragmentation of the Canada that had emerged, and ultimately remained committed to Canada as a nation-state and community. DIMIRTY ANASTAKIS is Professor and L.R. Wilson/R.J. Currie Chair in Canadian Business History at the University of Toronto in the Department of History and the Rotman School of Management, where he teaches about business, the state and politics, globalization, and automobility. He has published twelve books and edited collections, including five books on aspects of the Canadian auto industry in North America including Dream Car: Malcolm Bricklin's Fantastic SV1 and the End of Industrial Modernity.

This is Heather Hansman's third appearance on the podcast, and if you've been listening for a while, you know how much her work has shaped my own understanding of the West. Heather is an award-winning journalist and the author of "Downriver" and "Powder Days"—two books I reference constantly—and she's back today to talk about her brand-new book, Fierce Country: The Untold Story of Three Women Who Ignited America's Love for the Wild, which hits shelves the same day this episode is released. "Fierce Country" tells the stories of three women who were pivotal in shaping how we think about recreation and conservation today, yet whose stories have largely gone untold: Georgie White, one of the first Grand Canyon river guides; Anne LaBastille, an off-the-grid Adirondack guide and pioneering climate scientist; and Dolores LaChapelle, a legendary powder skier and environmental philosopher whose ideas helped launch the deep ecology movement. These are three complicated, larger-than-life characters, and Heather weaves their wild adventures together with her own personal story in a way that makes the book resonate no matter who you are. As always with Heather's work, it introduced me to ideas I didn't even know I needed to be thinking about. Heather and I talked about how she chose these three women and why their stories were left out of the history most of us learned, and we dug into some of the big ideas woven throughout the book—the heroine's journey versus the hero's journey, the superwoman myth, and the surprising research on men and women in outdoor sports. We discussed the double standards that outdoorswomen face, especially as parents, and the culture of harassment that unfortunately still exists in the outdoor world. We also chatted about Heather's recent investigative reporting on bots gaming the recreation.gov permit system, the importance of journalism and speaking truth to power, and how five years of living with these women's stories has changed the way Heather moves through the world. I loved this conversation, and I can't recommend "Fierce Country" highly enough—the book is out today, so be sure to click through to the episode notes and grab a copy. --- Heather Hansman Fierce Country: The Untold Story of Three Women Who Ignited America's Love for the Wild Heather's First and Second M&P episodes Full episode notes and links: mountainandprairie.com/heather-hansman-3 --- THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Mountain & Prairie is listener supported via Patreon, and brought to you with support from the Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust, MIRASOL: Looking at the Sun, Patagonia Books, the Rye Resurgence Project for their generous sponsorship. --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 0:00 - Introducing Heather Hansman (again) and highlighting Patagonia books 7:00 - Book number three 8:08 - Overview of Fierce Country 12:05 - Why these women 16:22 - Georgie and Anne on the wild 19:31 - Anne vs. Thoreau 23:08 - Constraint drives creativity 26:12 - Driven by hardships 28:58 - The heroine's journey 30:45 - Female and male differences 35:40- To scold or not to scold 41:41 - Pitching the book 44:08 - Outward Bound 46:56 - Recreation.gov 50:07 - Slowing down 56:48 - Bad feminism 1:04:50 - What's next for Heather --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

Do you dread small talk, or are you the person who can strike up a conversation with a total stranger in the checkout line? Either way, this episode is for you. Small talk gets dismissed as fluff — empty chatter about the weather before the “real” conversation starts — but it's actually doing something important: it's the on-ramp to every deeper connection we have.Why Small Talk Isn't PointlessSmall talk is the bridge between “we've never met” and “we actually know each other.” Without it, you can't get to the meaningful stuff — you have to test the water first, find shared ground, and build from there. Jill shares a story about a coworker who thought small talk was painful until she watched Jill use it to connect people at a conference in minutes.It's a Social MuscleLike any skill, the more low-stakes small talk you practice, the more comfortable you get with conversation in general — and that skill transfers to networking, dating, and even hard family conversations. It also signals warmth and approachability, which matters more than we think in a season researchers are calling a loneliness epidemic.Where It Shows Up in Real LifeProfessional advancement often happens informally — in hallway chats and casual check-ins, not just performance reviews. In relationships, small talk is maintenance: couples who check in with “how was your day” tend to stay more connected than couples who only discuss logistics. And it turns out brief, friendly exchanges with strangers give real, measurable boosts to mood and confidence.Seven Small Steps to Get Better at ItFor anyone who feels like small talk doesn't come naturally, Jill breaks it into concrete steps: lower the bar (nice weather today is a complete success), use the FORD method (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams) when you're stuck, comment instead of question, practice in low-stakes places, set tiny specific goals, let silence be okay, and exit gracefully.Small talk isn't shallow — it's the quiet infrastructure of connection. It doesn't ask you to become someone you're not; it just asks for one small step, with one extra person, today.Jill's Linkshttp://jillfromthenorthwoods.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@startwithsmallstepshttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/startwithsmallstepshttps://twitter.com/schmernEmail the podcast at jill@startwithsmallsteps.comBy choosing to watch this video or listen to this podcast, you acknowledge that you are doing so of your own free will.

Has sports card restoration reached a turning point? Jeremy Lee is joined by Leighton Sheldon to examine one of the most controversial cards the hobby has seen in years: the reconstructed T206 Honus Wagner, commonly referred to as the "FrankenWagner." The discussion explores whether this remarkable piece should be viewed as restoration, recreation, fabrication, or something entirely new. They also debate how grading companies should classify reconstructed cards, whether this card's famous story adds to its value, and what precedent it could set for the future of vintage collecting. Topics include: The reconstructed T206 Honus Wagner Restoration vs. recreation Is the "FrankenWagner" still an authentic card? The Tommy Leach background controversy CGC's "Authentic Restored" designation Could this create a dangerous precedent? Where does restoration end? Predicting the final auction price Whether you agree or disagree, this conversation asks one of the biggest philosophical questions facing today's hobby. Thank you for listening to Sports Cards Live.

This week on Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, says “Yes For Parks!” with two champions for Louisville's under-invested public parks, Brooke Pardue, Chair of the new Yes For Parks coalition and Vice President of Strategic Initiatives for the Parks Alliance of Louisville, and Harrison Kirby from the Community Foundation of Louisville. Learn more at https://www.forparkseducationfund.org Brooke Perry Pardue joined the Parks Alliance of Louisville in November 2017 as President/CEO after serving on the Board for five years. Under her leadership, the organization grew exponentially, investing more than $10 million in Louisville's public parks with a focus on driving equitable investment to improve health and wellbeing for everyone. She also spearheaded Parks For All, a 15-year equity-focused master plan for Louisville Parks and Recreation. In 2026, Brooke passed the reins of the Alliance to a new CEO, but continues to serve as VP of Strategic Initiatives, working with a diverse array of community partners advocating for the creation of a voter-approved Park Fund dedicated to the capital needs and ongoing maintenance of the city's treasured public park system. Harrison Kirby joined the Community Foundation as Director of Strategic Initiatives in April 2023 and currently serves as the Executive Director of the Center for Data and Policy. At the Community Foundation, Harrison leads efforts to create community impact and engage philanthropic resources using data reports, policy advocacy, and strategic partnerships in alignment with the Foundation's vision for a Louisville that achieves racial equity and advances opportunity for all. Louisville Metro Government operates more than 120 parks and 13 community centers. They are vital public infrastructure serving people of all ages in every corner of Louisville. Yet Louisville spends significantly less on our public parks than peer cities — just $53 per resident vs. $150. The lack of investment is reflected in the 2026 Trust for Public Land ParkScore™ which ranks Louisville 95th out of the 100 most populous cities in the U.S. for the quality of our public parks. (Cincinnati is 5th and Lexington is 67th). Our Parks and Recreation Department estimates $177 million is currently needed for deferred maintenance. Despite increased investment in the last few years (mostly from now-depleted ARPA funds), we will never dig out of this hole at the current pace. Louisville voters may have the ability to create a dedicated funding source for city parks through a nonpartisan, community-driven effort to place a referendum on the ballot. If approved by voters, these protected funds would support parks serving neighborhoods citywide. This voter-approved solution will generate $18 million annually through a modest 0.0225% ad valorem adjustment — around $1 per week for the average homeowner — without new debt. These protected funds will transform parks serving people across our community. One of the Yes For Parks coalition members, the Greater Louisville Sierra Club, invites you to join them on Tuesday, July 21, at pm for their annual summer picnic at Douglass Community Center, 2305 Douglass Blvd. We will hear from Brooke Pardue, and Alice Bridges, Director of Strategic Initiatives for Parks Alliance of Louisville. GLSC meetings are always free and open to the public. Register at https://sierraclub.org/kentucky As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW! Sustainability Now! is hosted by Dr. Justin Mog and airs on Forward Radio, 106.5fm, WFMP-LP Louisville, every Monday at 6pm and repeats Tuesdays at 12am and 10am.

Send us Fan MailYour kid says they're bored, rejects every suggestion, and somehow you're the problem. We get it and we're offering a better path: use recreation and outdoor play to build real connection, not just kill time. We're joined by our youth activities team to talk through the small, practical choices that change everything, like stepping off the sidelines, bringing a positive attitude, and being willing to look a little silly while you learn alongside your kids.We dig into why adult participation matters so much for parent child relationships and family bonding. When you “get in the game,” kids feel seen, and the pressure drops. We talk about vulnerability as a parenting strength, how losing on purpose is not the goal but how being okay with losing can be, and why play creates a safer space for the conversations that feel hard at the dinner table. Recreation also supports emotional regulation, physical activity, and healthier routines, especially when life at home feels tense.You'll also hear our take on planned family activities versus spontaneous fun, plus how to respond when kids call every idea “lame.” We share tactics that work: approach with enthusiasm, set a short time limit, offer an easy exit, and invite kids to help tweak rules or invent new games. We close with a honest warning about overprogramming and a reminder that boredom can be where creativity begins. If this helped, subscribe, share it with a parent friend, and leave a review.

This month's episode of the Harvard Data Science Review Podcast explores the rapidly evolving world of sports analytics and how advances in data science are transforming the way we understand competition. We are joined by Harvard statistician Mark Glickman, creator of the Glicko rating system, and sports statistician Stephanie Kovalchik to discuss the technologies, models, and data driving modern sports. From real-time player tracking and probabilistic rating systems to AI-assisted coaching and predictive modeling, the conversation examines how statistical methods continue to shape decision-making on and off the field. Glickman and Kovalchik also explore why traditional statistical models remain central to sports analytics, how access to high-quality data continues to limit innovation, and what emerging AI tools may—and may not—bring to the future of the field. The episode concludes with a look at Recreations in Randomness, HDSR's column on the many ways data science enriches our recreational lives, and an invitation for readers to contribute new perspectives on the growing role of data in sports, hobbies, and beyond. Our guests: Mark Glickman is a senior lecturer on statistics at Harvard University; a senior statistician at the Center for Healthcare Organization and Implementation Research (CHOIR), a Veterans Administration Center of Innovation; and co-editor of HDSR's Recreations in Randomness column. Stephanie Kovalchik is a senior manager of data science at Teamworks, where she develops data-driven solutions to enhance athlete performance and decision-making. She is also co-editor of HDSR's Recreations in Randomness column.

What does recreation really mean?Most people think it's just about having fun. But what if recreation has three different meanings?Recreation can mean enjoying life in healthy ways that refresh your mind, body, and spirit.  Re-creation means rebuilding yourself—developing better habits, stronger character, and a better future.Wreck-Creation is what happens when entertainment, drugs, alcohol, violence, or other unhealthy choices stop refreshing your life and start destroying it.On this episode, Paul D. Jones challenges you to examine whether your daily habits are recreating your future or wrecking it. The choices you make for fun today can either become the foundation of your success—or the source of your greatest regrets.Are your habits creating a better you… or a wrecked you?Support the show

Tahiti and the Challenges of Resettling Mai. Guest Author: Hampton Sides. The expedition arrived in Tahiti in August 1777, where the crew was eager for recreation. Cook's primary task was finding a home for Mai, who had returned from England with a hoard of treasures, including muskets and armor. Cook worried about Mai's status as a commoner and tried to arrange a marriage for him to protect his wealth, but Mai refused. Sides also highlights the importance of the "red feather" trade; Cook had discovered that these feathers were a royal currency in the islands, effectively allowing him to "change the economy" to secure supplies. Despite the idyllic setting, Cook's internal pressures and concerns for Mai's precarious future continued to mount. 41850

Sides also highlights the importance of the "red feather" trade; Cook had discovered that these feathers were a royal currency in the islands, effectively allowing him to "change the economy" to secure supplies. Despite the idyllic setting, Cook's internal pressures and concerns for Mai's precarious future continued to mount. 41876 FIJI

Three hundred drones, eleven minutes, and an entire park's collective gasp. On this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sits down at Jim Barnett Park's Active Living Center with Winchester City Parks Director Chris Konyar to recap the city's first-ever drone show (the Winchester logo perfectly drawn in the sky, the animated Patsy Cline, the Apple Blossom bloom, all to celebrate the VA250 anniversary) and to preview Red, White & Boom — Independence Eve at the park on Friday, July 3rd. Chris walks through the full Red, White & Boom lineup: a pool DJ, the Fun Zone with a dozen inflatables and water slides on the turf, a magic show at 5 PM, three live music acts starting at 6 PM (a bluegrass band led by Zach Townsend, a patriotic cover band, and a tribute band), a Winchester Royals home game against the New Market Rebels with free admission, food and craft vendors, and a slightly bigger-than-usual fireworks finale shot from Bodie Grimm. Then the conversation turns to everything still ahead this summer — Parks and Rec Month in July, the Fun in the Sun pool event on July 18th, additional sports camps (soccer, volleyball, tennis, the new softball camp, the sport sampler), continued swim lessons through July and August, junior lifeguard and junior counselor programs, and the increasingly popular drop-in turf passes now that the season has wound down for everyone else. Plus a recurring theme worth a podcast all its own: thank a Parks employee.

What if the future of mining isn't just measured in ounces produced—but in the communities, habitats, and generations it leaves behind? In this episode of Mining Minds, we sit down with Dave Spicer—miner, rancher, entrepreneur, conservation advocate, and lifelong Beatty resident—for a thought-provoking conversations about the future. Dave's story is deeply intertwined with the history of Beatty, Nevada, from growing up on a ranch and living off the land to building businesses, supporting mining projects, and dedicating decades of his life to ensuring his hometown has a future. What makes this conversation unique is Dave's perspective on the relationship between mining, conservation, and community development. Through habitat restoration, trail development, species conservation, and local partnerships, he has spent years bringing people together around solutions that benefit the land, the community, and the mining industry.

This week we talk Father's Day, lightsaber obsessions, swimming pools, Gravity Falls, cyberpunk light bulbs, Spider-Man, Star Trek, and the sci-fi shows and movies our families can't stop watching. Real Life Father's Day was in the air this week, and Devon assumes his son was probably excited about it, though kids have a funny way of keeping those things mysterious right up until the last minute. Meanwhile, Steven has found himself completely obsessed with lightsabers lately and thinks he may have finally figured out why these glowing space swords continue to have such a grip on his imagination decades later. Ben's family adventures continue as his son returned from a school trip to Washington D.C. and New York City. Despite photographic evidence suggesting he spent the entire trip looking mildly inconvenienced, his teachers insist he had a fantastic time. Ben also recently visited the incredible MOTHERSHIP restaurant in San Diego, a themed dining experience designed to look like a crashed spaceship hidden inside a cave. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was unforgettable, and highlights included a "Kylo Ren" inspired bathroom with a mirrored ceiling and an astronaut radio transmission looping over NASA-style beeps. Meanwhile, Ben's son has become obsessed with space, watching Apollo 13 and spending hours playing Kerbal Space Program, which Ben wholeheartedly approves of. Devon reports that his son has learned the theme from Gravity Falls on piano and now plays it constantly. If you know the theme, you already understand exactly what Devon's household sounds like right now. Ben brings a fascinating indie game to the table with CASCADER, a Portal-inspired puzzle game set in a mysterious supernatural forest that constantly shifts and changes around you. If you enjoy environmental puzzles and weird atmospheric settings, this one might deserve a spot on your wishlist. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4766800/CASCADER/?curator_clanid=45973849 Steven highlights Star Trek: Outposts Unknown, an upcoming strategy title set in the Star Trek universe. We discuss the appeal of building and managing a frontier outpost while trying to survive the dangers of deep space. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3469910/Star_Trek_Outposts_Unknown/ Summer has clearly arrived for everyone involved. Steven's kids have practically moved into the swimming pool, while Devon's children are also spending as much time in the water as possible between rainstorms. Ben has been playing Detroit: Become Human, which naturally leads to a discussion about Quantic Dream, Star Wars: Eclipse, and whether that game actually exists or is simply an elaborate collective hallucination. https://www.ign.com/articles/detroit-become-human-dev-quantic-dream-kills-live-service-game-3-months-after-early-access-launch-insists-star-wars-eclipse-continues-as-planned We also dive into the surprisingly complicated world of chess set consolidation. How many chess sets does one family really need? The answer is apparently fewer than Ben owns. https://www.chessplus.com/ https://www.amazon.com/John-N-Hansen-Chess-4/dp/B000BNLVBS Future or Now Devon wraps up a few television reviews, including Hulu's Paradise, which has completed its second season and is already confirmed for a third. He also talks about the finale of Widows Bay, which somehow feels like Parks and Recreation wandered into a Stephen King novel. We also get a brief review of For All Mankind Season 5. Devon's verdict: "I didn't mind it." Ben shares one of the most delightfully cyberpunk projects we've seen in a while: someone converted a cheap WiFi-enabled smart light bulb into a tiny hidden server that hosts digital copies of banned books. The result is part embedded systems engineering project, part hacker art installation, and entirely fascinating. https://www.richardosgood.com/posts/banned-book-library/ Steven checks out the trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day and discusses what Marvel appears to be setting up next for everyone's favorite wall-crawler. https://youtu.be/62bIsvRcPv0?si=oIvm7MXpc7GFX9RW Finally, Devon reports that his kids are fully locked into movie hype mode. Toy Story 5 is on the radar, and they're especially excited for Minions & Monsters, which recently made headlines by casting George Lucas after the Star Wars creator revealed he was apparently a huge fan of the franchise. https://www.ign.com/articles/george-lucas-cast-minions-monsters-movie Whether it's crashed spaceships serving vegetarian food, cyberpunk light bulbs distributing banned literature, or kids turning swimming pools into second homes, this week's episode has a little bit of everything.

May 9, 2013. Bowling Green, Ohio. The body of 66-year old Dawn Glanz, a retired art professor from Bowling Green State University, is discovered inside her bathroom by her husband, Bob Brown, and the authorities initially believe that she suffered a fatal stroke and died of natural causes. However, before Dawn's body can be cremated, police receive an anonymous tip expressing concern that Bob may have killed Dawn in order to inherit her $2 million estate and a new autopsy reveals that she received a stab wound to the head and the shock caused her to succumb to a heart attack. After Dawn's death is reclassified as a homicide, investigators uncover some troubling holes in Bob's original story, but there is not enough evidence to file charges and her murder officially remains unsolved.  November 22, 2009. Bowling Green, Kentucky. 54-year old Bettina Richmond, a mathematics professor at Western Kentucky University, leaves her home to play racquetball at the Bowling Green Parks and Recreation facility. When she fails to return home, Bettina's husband goes to check the facility's parking lot and discovers that Bettina has been fatally stabbed in the driver's seat of her van. Bettina's university identification badge is later found in a mailbox over two miles away and it is suspected that she was the victim of a robbery gone wrong, but no potential suspects are found for her murder.  On this week's episode of the “Trail Went Cold”, we explore a pair of unsolved murders involving female university professors from Bowling Green in both Ohio and Kentucky.

New details surrounding The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake suggest Nintendo may be creating a faithful recreation of the original game rather than completely reimagining it. Tonight, we discuss what a potential 1:1 remake could mean, which elements Nintendo should modernize, and whether Ocarina of Time needs major gameplay changes at all. We'll also cover the latest Nintendo news, rumors, and updates on tonight's Nintendo PowerCast. What do you want from the Ocarina of Time remake: a faithful recreation or a complete reimagining? #Zelda #OcarinaOfTime #NintendoSwitch2 #Nintendo The available wording points toward updated visuals and designs while preserving the original game's “timeless gameplay,” but Nintendo has not officially confirmed that it will be a literal 1:1 remake.

Mike Schur is a TV writer and producer best known for creating Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and The Good Place. He also worked on The Office and played Mose, Dwight's delightfully odd cousin. Impressive credentials, of course—but most importantly to us, he's a massive baseball fan. That may even be underselling it. Mike joins Tim Kurkjian and Jeff to talk baseball, including the fact that both he and Tim were at Pedro Martínez's legendary 17-strikeout game against the Yankees. Was that the greatest pitching season ever? The three also dive into their shared love of storytelling and why the best baseball stories often stick with us as much as the games themselves. Is it any surprise that one of television's great writers appreciates a great story? Schur also praises the Brewers for their knack for pulling off incredible trades and shares his deep admiration for Shohei Ohtani, encouraging everyone to appreciate just how remarkable a player he is. And, of course, there's Mike's new book, Big Fan: Two Friends, 82,490 Miles, and the Wild, Wonderful Sports We Love, co-authored with sportswriter Joe Posnanski. Released in May 2026, the book explores fandom across sports, music, and beyond, celebrating the passion that brings people together. Pick up a copy online or wherever books are sold. One quick editorial note: this episode was recorded on June 10, just one day before Jeff and his wife, Emily, welcomed their son, Bodie, into the world.

This week, host Margaret Walls welcomes Celso Ferreira and Elizabeth Van Dolah on the podcast to talk about building resilience in coastal communities that are vulnerable to sea level rise. Ferreira, a professor at George Mason University, and Van Dolah, an environmental anthropologist and community engagement expert, were members of an interdisciplinary research team that aimed to construct nature-based solutions to flooding problems in the rural municipality of Pocomoke City, Maryland. Throughout the process, the team consulted with an advisory committee of community members who weighed in on the project—and the local input shaped the researchers' conclusions in surprising ways. In this episode, Ferreira and Van Dolah reflect on how continuous engagement with impacted communities can help identify overlooked ecosystem values and result in improved outcomes for people and the surrounding environment.

The CPG Guys are joined in this episode by Chris Peterson, President, CEO & Board Member of Newell Brands, a major American global consumer and commercial products conglomerate. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the company manufactures, markets, and distributes over 50 well-known brands across three core segments: Home & Commercial Solutions, Learning & Development, and Outdoor & Recreation.This episode was recorded at Newell Brands headquarters in Atlanta.Follow Chris on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-peterson-488930114Follow Newell Brands online at: https://www.newellbrands.com/Chris answered these questions: Chris, at CAGNY, you spoke extensively about an enterprise AI program you internally call "Quantum Leap". You mentioned that in mid-2025, you shifted this from isolated use cases into a broader "how work gets done" workflow model. Can you talk to us about the genesis of Quantum Leap and what it looks like today?That scale is incredible, Chris. One thing that stood out to me during your recent Leadership Summit 2026 was your mention of 33 functional "navigators". It sounds like a massive cultural shift to build AI fluency across the enterprise. How do these navigators act as change agents inside their functions?Let's talk about the tangible outputs because the numbers you shared at CAGNY were staggering. You noted a 500% increase in AI-enabled digital content creation in 2025 versus 2024, entirely without any additional investment. How has AI accelerated your innovation pipeline from concept to launch?You can't run advanced AI without clean data, and Newell has done a massive amount of simplification. You've cut your active SKUs by over 80% and rationalized the brand portfolio from 80 down to just over 50 brands. By the fall of 2026, 95% of your global sales will be supported by a single instance of SAP. How critical is that ERP integration to feeding the Quantum Leap program?Chris, driving a transformation of this magnitude isn't just about technology; it's about the people executing it. Newell Brands has a very clear set of core values: Integrity, Teamwork, Passion for Winning, Ownership, and Leadership. As CEO, how do you lean on these principles to guide your 24,000 teammates around the world through such a massive operational and cultural shift?You've been driving a unified "One Newell" go-to-market model and consolidating what used to be five separate operating segments into just three. How does the value of "Teamwork"—which you define as "Succeeding Together"—play into breaking down those legacy silos?Thinking about the industry, how do you expect AI to impact shopping and agents to guide consumers? What's your advice to retail?Chris, this has been an absolute masterclass in enterprise AI adoption and operational leadership. What advice would you give others embarking on the AI journey?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.
