The Digital Handoff: A New Tool for Dog BreedersLaura Reeves visits with Lianna Shepard, Senior Manager for New Business Models at Purina, to talk about how modern technology is reshaping the purebred dog community. At the center of this technological shift is the newly updated MyPurina app, which has evolved from a simple rewards program into a comprehensive, handheld digital assistant for both pet owners and preservation breeders. Designed to streamline the transition when puppies go to their new homes, the app acts as a digital handoff tool that replaces or complements traditional paper folders with instant, expert-backed support right in the new owner's pocket. By integrating personalized guidance, AI assistance and professional animal behavior enrichment, Purina leverages technology to build a supportive ecosystem that ensures a happy, healthy life for dogs and cats across all life stages.Bringing 24/7/365 Tech Support to RealityModernizing Go-Home Day:Traditionally, breeders sent new puppy buyers home with physical health folders and paper pamphlets. The MyPurina app serves as a modern digital alternative, making it far easier to transition a puppy to their new home by providing the buyer with an immediate, structured support system right on their phone.Confidence and Peace of Mind:By sending puppy buyers to the app, breeders can rest assured that new owners have a reliable, expert-backed resource to navigate the first weeks of puppy ownership. New buyers get immediate help, which mitigates anxiety and ensures the pet is cared for according to Purina's rigorous nutritional and behavior standards.Rewards Integration:Breeders who send puppies home on Pro Plan can confidently recommend the app knowing that buyers will earn rewards on all purchases, regardless of the retailer. New owners can even purchase directly inside the app to earn points automatically without needing to manually upload receipts.For Owners: Personalized, Handheld SupportTailored Pet Profiles:Owners can input specific details like age, breed, and dietary restrictions to build a custom profile. The app leverages this data to provide personalized recommendations on exactly what food and litter to buy, alongside dynamic feeding guides that adjust as the pet transitions from puppyhood to their senior years."Allie" Virtual Pet Assistant:To prevent search overload, the app features "Allie," an in-app virtual assistant powered by Purina's vast library of expert content. Owners can ask Allie quick, real-time questions about potty training, food specifications, or general care tips instead of scrolling through endless search engines."Happy" Enrichment Program:Designed by Purina behaviorist and enrichment specialist Alex Johnson, "Happy" is an exclusive, multi-week bonding program. It teaches owners how to engage in daily, 15-minute household activities to build a stronger connection with their dogs or cats, complete with instructional guides on reading animal body language and micro-challenges for new pets.https://puredogtalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Send-puppy-owners-home-with-digital-support.mp4

The current state of disability rights wouldn't be what it is without the rich history and the strong individuals who pushed the movement forward. But what about the future? Who is propelling us into the next era of disability rights?   Ryan Manriquez On this week's program, Dominick Trevethan attempts to answer that question by interviewing two of his peers. His guests, Ryan Manriquez and Sarah Bellish, both live with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, or SMA, and they want more from our current systems. Listen in as they discuss the changes they hope to see in the coming years and outline how to fight for the future we want.   Ryan Manriquez is a disability justice advocate, a graduate of UC Davis and UC Berkeley, and, as he puts it, a “transit nerd.” Working in the Bay Area, he hopes to use his lived experience as a person with a disability to push for more accessible housing, public transportation, and government-funded medical research.   Sarah Bellish is the Senior Manager of Advocacy at Cure SMA, where she works in public policy to help push vital disability legislation through the doors of Congress. Issues important to her include increasing the current SSI Asset Limit, making it safer for those with disabilities to fly, and improving the current state of accessible public transportation.   We've come this far. So, where do we go next?

"Our goal is not zero Legionella pneumophila bacteria. Our goal is zero cases." – Patsy Root  Legionella risk becomes harder to manage when building teams treat every detection as equivalent—or collect samples without first deciding what a positive result will trigger. Patsy Root, Senior Manager of Government Affairs at IDEXX Water, explains how a clear water management program can replace uncertainty with defined responsibilities, routine monitoring, and proportionate action.     Focus Testing on the Organism of Concern   Patsy distinguishes between the broader group of Legionella species and Legionella pneumophila, the organism she recommends prioritizing during routine monitoring. She reviews research indicating that detecting non-pneumophila Legionella does not automatically mean L. pneumophila is present.  That distinction matters operationally. Remediation can require significant time, money, facility disruption, and lost revenue. Testing targets and corrective actions should reflect public-health risk rather than a generalized fear of any Legionella detection.  The goal is management, not eradication. A well-designed program aims to prevent disease while recognizing that completely eliminating the organism from every water system is not realistic.  Define the Response Before Sampling  Questions about routine monitoring remain among the most common Patsy receives: Where should samples be collected? How often should testing occur? Which laboratory and method should be used? What actions should follow a positive result?  When reviewing a positive laboratory report, determine whether L. pneumophila was detected, its concentration, how many locations tested positive, and whether those locations are clustered or distributed throughout the building. Then compare the findings with the action limits and response procedures established in the water management program.  Testing without a response plan can create unnecessary confusion. Likewise, writing a program does not protect a facility unless the assigned monitoring, flushing, temperature checks, chlorine residual measurements, documentation, and corrective actions are consistently completed.    Connect Water Treatment, Exposure, and Ownership  A conventional water treatment program designed for heat-transfer efficiency does not automatically address every public-health exposure route. Building teams must consider where people could encounter aerosolized or otherwise unsafe water—not only whether treatment chemistry is operating as intended.  Patsy uses a milk-jug analogy to explain building ownership. Farmers, processors, transporters, and grocery stores maintain milk until it is purchased. Once the customer brings it home, however, that customer becomes responsible for storing it safely. Likewise, once water passes through the meter, the building owner becomes responsible for maintaining its quality.  A comprehensive water management team may require a decision-maker with financial authority, a water treatment professional, plumbing expertise, maintenance and facilities personnel, and representatives from housekeeping, kitchens, or infection prevention where applicable.  Communication with the public water system can also provide essential context about the incoming water source, seasonal temperature, distribution conditions, and disinfection. For water professionals advising building owners, the leadership challenge is translating risk information into repeatable actions that every responsible person understands and can sustain.  Listen to the full conversation above.

As the climate crisis accelerates, our information ecosystem has become a critical battleground. Coordinated climate disinformation - driven by fossil fuel interests - is increasingly targeting cities and urban leaders to stall transformative policy and manufacture public doubt.In this special Hot Takes episode recorded on the ground at London Climate Action Week, host David Miller examines how cities are actively defending information integrity and reclaiming the narrative. We look at why proactive storytelling and pre-bunking are far more powerful than traditional fact-checking, how mayors serve as vital trusted messengers in noisy digital spaces, and the stark reality of how disinformation threatens life and resilience on the frontlines of Ukraine. We will also be exploring how the C40 Centre itself incubated the recently launched City Climate Facts that aims to support cities in fighting disinformation, and cleaning up our urban information ecosystem.Featured guests:Adam Brzezinski, British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the London School of Economics and Political ScienceChiara Morfeo, Senior Manager for Research and Communications at the C40 CentreOleksandr Senkevich, Mayor of Mykolaiv, UkraineTo follow more of C40 and the C40 Centre's work combating climate disinformation, please check out the following links: The C40 Centre's climate communications insights - SubstackPrevious episodes of Cities 1.5 covering different aspects of climate disinformation Overview of C40's disinformation work.If you would like a copy of the C40 disinformation and extreme weather playbook - available in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese - please request one through the form at the bottom of this link. Links:Big Oil's Real Agenda on Climate Change - InfluenceMap websiteCombatting Climate Disinformation: Comparing the Effectiveness of Correction Placement and Type - Environmental CommunicationInoculation Theory as a Design Approach to Game-Based Misinformation Interventions - Taylor & FrancisDisinformation in the City: Response Playbook - University of Melbourne & German Marshall FundDisinformation in the Service of War - Center for European Policy AnalysisStarving the Hydra: How Digital Platforms Profit from Misinformation - Center for Countering Digital HateIf you want to learn more about the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy, please visit our website at https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/Listen to the Cities 1.5 five-part miniseries “Going Steady with Herman Daly: How to Unbreak the Economy (and the Planet)" here: https://lnk.to/HDMiniSeriesCities 1.5 is produced by the University of Toronto Press and the C40 Centre, and is supported by C40 Cities.

Managing AV and collaboration technology across hospitals, clinics, classrooms, and event spaces is no small task, and for Justin Scord, Senior Manager, Collaboration & Media Services at Stanford Medicine, the challenge isn't just keeping the lights on. It's knowing where to start."There's always so much change, so much technology, so many different manufacturers," Scord told UC Today at InfoComm 2026 in Las Vegas. "Keeping that North Star and making sure we're building systems that are scalable and supportable is really our focus."Scord oversees a broad footprint at the Palo Alto-based academic medical system – from patient rooms and conference spaces to live event broadcasts. If there's a screen, a microphone, or a speaker involved, his team has a hand in it.That sprawling remit gives him a sharp perspective on where the industry is heading.On AI, he's optimistic – but rigorous. "I'm all about the data," he said.Stanford's in-house data science team actively researches which AI models perform best for specific workflows, and Scord believes the wider AV industry should be asking the same hard questions."Ask the manufacturers where they got the research and data to choose the models they're using. That alone is going to weed out a lot of manufacturers."His concern is that too many AI deployments are driven by commercial partnerships rather than genuine fit. "If they're not choosing the right models based on workflow and using data to show it's actually going to provide ROI, it's probably not something you want to pursue."At InfoComm, Scord spoke about agentic AI and its potential to augment – not replace – project teams. His message was clear: AI should aggregate data, surface actionable insights, and make day-to-day work more manageable, without diminishing the people doing it."Get educated around machine learning and AI at a high level," he said. "Understand the limitations, and start slowly incorporating it into your workplace."

Your cloud ERP holds the keys to your entire business: finance, HR, supply chain. But who actually controls the locks?

But getting it wrong can cost millions. EY's Joe Surmeier breaks down IAM in cloud ERP: from the most common mistakes organizations make during migration, to navigating the shared responsibility model between vendors, SIs, and customers. The conversation also explores how AI is reshaping both threats and defenses, and shares three actionable priorities for any organization starting its cloud ERP journey, and why cybersecurity must have a seat at the table from day one.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Useful Links: ⁠⁠SAP Cloud ERP⁠⁠Follow Us on Social Media!SAP S/4HANA Cloud ERP: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠=====Guest 1: Joe Surmeier, Senior Manager, Cybersecurity at Ernst & Young LLPJoe Surmeier has spent more than a decade at the intersection of cybersecurity, business transformation, and risk management.

In this episode, Jennifer sits down with Zach Merritt, Senior Manager of Product Marketing at Procare Solutions, who spends his days talking with child care programs across the country and spotting the patterns that show up across hundreds and thousands of centers. Together, they dig into what separates the programs that continue to struggle from the ones that are truly thriving, and why sounding exactly like every other child care center in your area is one of the fastest ways to disappear into the background.   Zach and Jennifer talk about what today's parents actually expect, why "safe, nurturing, and quality education" is no longer enough to set you apart, and how speed, transparency, and real-life content can completely change the enrollment experience. They also get into technology, automation, and how the right systems can give owners back hours each month without losing the human connection that makes child care so special.   Key Takeaways: [3:02] Zach shares how his work with nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and education led him into the child care industry. [5:19] Staff retention, enrollment, and the overwhelm of competing responsibilities continue to be the biggest pressure points for owners. [7:43] The industry is still feeling the effects of COVID, staffing changes, and the end of many pandemic-era funding programs. [10:51] Owners have an important role as advocates who can bring real data and real business needs into policy conversations. [13:27] Thriving centers often find a meaningful way to specialize and carve out their own place in the community. [14:25] Zach shares how one North Carolina center built belonging and strong word-of-mouth by intentionally serving Indian immigrant families. [17:00] When every center uses the same words, parents are left comparing only price and convenience. [19:02] Your website, reviews, and social media are often the first places today's parents decide whether you are worth exploring. [21:03] Fast now means automated, with an immediate response, helpful information, and a clear next step. [22:22] Families may stop searching as soon as one center responds quickly and makes them feel like they have found the right place. [24:23] Real photos, videos, and everyday classroom moments help families see what life inside your center actually feels like. [27:08] Owners have to look at their marketing through the eyes of the younger families walking through their doors. [28:47] Technology can turn hours of administrative work into minutes while creating a smoother experience for families. [30:15] Procare supports the full family journey, from the first inquiry and tour through enrollment, communication, and daily care updates. [33:22] The right software can save a center an average of 60 to 80 hours each month. [34:20] Zach's first lightning-round answer is simple: stop sounding like everybody else and start responding faster. [34:32] Owners should review what is taking too much time and decide what software can take off their shoulders. [35:22] New owners should expect mistakes and focus on building a strong culture from the beginning. [35:44] Child care is becoming more widely understood as a vital part of the infrastructure that keeps society moving. [37:22] AI is opening new possibilities for automation, planning, and handling more complex tasks with less owner oversight. [40:15] AI can support the work, but it cannot replace an owner's expertise, relationships, or responsibility for quality.   Quotes: "I think sometimes people forget that they're an advocate for childcare in general, but also as a business owner." — Jennifer [10:51]   "If you are expedient in getting back to people and giving them the opportunity to see and experience what they can expect from your center and what their child's outlook would be and all of those things, then you're just going to win them over before and their research is going to stop there." — Zach [22:22]   "It's okay to make mistakes. You're going to learn. I would say focus on your culture as a building block." — Zach [35:22]   "I think the way that our society is looking at childcare now is that it is no longer just daycare or a place to drop your kids off, as it was in the past. But deeper than that, I think that it's becoming more and more clear where childcare plays a pivotal role in the infrastructure of our society and the needs for it for all other aspects in terms of work and education and those key functions that our future coming generation needs, and the parents and families now are also in dire need of. So, childcare is not going anywhere." — Zach [36:09]   Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray @iamkrismurray Jennifer Conner The Child Care Success Company The Child Care Success Academy The Child Care Success Summit Grow Your Center Childcare Education Institute: Use code CDARenewal22 to get $100 off your renewal Procare Solutions

In this throwback episode, we sit down with Elizabeth Thompson, Senior Manager of Social Media at National Geographic, who leads strategy for one of the largest social ecosystems in the world — over 400 million followers across platforms. Elizabeth shares the career journey that took her from Army brat and freelancer to running social for one of the most iconic storytelling brands, including how she grew Nat Geo's Instagram from 250M to 270M followers and TikTok from 2.5M to 9M. We unpack how a 137-year-old brand stays culturally relevant today, how her team uses UGC, reactive content, and new platform features to reach global audiences, and what creators and marketers can learn from building social strategy at scale. This one is packed with timeless frameworks — worth a relisten or a first listen if you missed it.Key Takeaways:// How to grow a legacy brand on social: The relevance, resonance, and risk framework Nat Geo uses to decide which cultural moments are worth jumping on — and which to sit out.// The power of UGC at scale: Why Nat Geo Your Shot was reimagined as a creative community, not just a content bucket — and how it drives belonging, not just reach.// Building strategy for massive audiences: How Elizabeth approaches content for 400M+ followers across seven platforms, and why an always-on strategy and engagement plays both have to coexist.// Career lessons for social pros: How internships spanning PR, journalism, and email marketing — plus a freelance business and a master's degree in Germany — shaped her path to Nat Geo.// Team building and cross-functional alignment: What transparency, flexibility, and proactive communication actually look like inside a large, matrixed organization.// The timeless principles that will outlast every algorithm shift: Authenticity, community, and adaptability — and why these three things will always matter no matter what the platforms do next.____Join the MHH Collective!

In this episode of the AI Agent & Copilot Podcast, John Siefert, Founder and CEO of Cloud Wars, is joined by Cedric Wells, IT leader and former Senior Manager of Infrastructure and Operations at Gorilla Glue. Together, they explore how AI is reshaping IT leadership, software development, governance, and enterprise transformation. Wells shares why continuous learning, balancing strategic vision with execution, and maintaining strong security and data governance will define successful organizations in the AI Era. Their conversation also reflects many of the leadership themes that attendees explored at the 2026 AI Agent & Copilot Summit NA. Key Takeaways Growth mindset is becoming the most valuable IT skill. Wells believes technical expertise alone is no longer enough. The speed of AI innovation requires professionals at every level to continuously refresh their knowledge and remain adaptable. He explains that technologies evolve so rapidly that learning has become a permanent responsibility rather than a periodic exercise. As Wells notes, "Having a mindset that's really around learning as much as I can as things are changing" is essential. He also reminds listeners, "It's changing so fast," making curiosity and adaptability foundational qualities for future IT leaders. AI enhances leadership — but doesn't replace technical understanding. Wells argues that AI is helping close the gap between technical specialists and business leaders, allowing executives to understand complex technologies more quickly. However, leaders still need enough technical context to ask intelligent questions and make informed decisions. As he explains, "Being able to really as a leader leverage AI as much as possible" creates significant advantages. He also emphasizes that "bridging that gap with your leadership skills and leveraging AI on the technical side" will define successful IT leadership moving forward. Governance and security are becoming even more important. Throughout the conversation, Wells repeatedly emphasizes that AI initiatives require close collaboration between infrastructure, information security, governance, and data teams. Without proper oversight, organizations risk exposing sensitive information, creating compliance issues, or building unreliable AI systems. Wells reminds listeners that "It's very important to make sure that those two departments are aligned" and warns that "Employees are doing it whether or not you like it," making proactive governance and secure enablement far more effective than restrictive policies alone.

Most home service companies do not have a lead problem. They have a missed-call problem. In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh Blissett and Joshua Crouch sit down with Chris Nelson, Senior Manager of Vertical Marketing at CallRail, to talk about why home service leads disappear, how missed calls turn into lost revenue, and what contractors can do to better understand what is happening inside their call flow. This conversation is not just about answering the phone faster. It is about understanding where your leads come from, how they move through your business, and where good opportunities get lost before they ever turn into booked jobs. Chris breaks down how call tracking, call routing, CRM integrations, AI voice assistants, and conversation intelligence can help contractors see the real story behind their marketing spend and customer calls. They also discuss: Why missed calls are one of the most expensive leaks in a home service business How call routing helps contractors get the right calls to the right people Why attribution is harder now that homeowners use Google, social media, AI search, referrals, and other touchpoints before calling How AI voice assistants can support CSR teams with overflow, after-hours calls, and basic call handling Why call data and conversation intelligence help owners coach their teams and make smarter marketing decisions If you are spending money on marketing but still missing calls, losing track of leads, or struggling to understand which channels are actually creating revenue, this episode will help you see why better call visibility matters.

It's a unique pairing in championship football in this year's TG4 All-Ireland senior ladies football semi-final as Galway and Armagh come together this Saturday (18th July 2026) with a place in Croke Park two weeks later the prize on offer. While they've frequently clashed in the league, and are both regular contenders at the business end of the season, this is the first time they've crossed paths in summer warfare since the same stage 20 years previously (2006). A Barbara Hannon winner was disallowed, despite video evidence suggesting it was a score.  Armagh went up the field to get the decisive score, beating Galway (1-13 to 1-12) to book their one final appearance so far. Galway beat Mayo 2-20 to 1-6 in their quarter-final; while Armagh were 3-9 to 1-12 victors against Kildare. Leading up to the game, Galway manager Daniel Moynihan has been chatting with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Throw-in at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park, Longford on Saturday is 3.15pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM. The other semi-final between Kerry and Dublin throws in at FBD Semple Stadium the same day at 5.15pm.

In this Globally Speaking episode, we sit down with Anne Lepere and Francesca Filanti, Senior Managers in Testing at RWS, to explore what it really takes to make global products feel native, no matter where in the world they're used. Key topics covered: * Why localization testing is so much more than translation, but rather where linguistics meets engineering * The hidden technical work behind the scenes: ADB commands, debug flags, and device setups most linguists never see * Why testing functionality and language together, not separately, saves clients time, money, and headaches AI's growing role in localization and why human testers remain the final gatekeepers * What it takes to scale testing across 300+ native testers, 4,000 devices, and dozens of languages under brutal deadlines Whether you're building global products or just curious about what happens after "translate" is clicked, this episode will change how you think about the apps and devices you use every day.

The job market feels broken to a lot of people right now. Bonnie Dilber has a different read on it. As Senior Manager of Talent Acquisition at Zapier, she looks at hiring data for fun, and she says the problem is not that the jobs disappeared. It is that more people are competing for a pool of roles that has stayed flat, while plenty of work in trades, healthcare, and education goes unfilled. In this conversation, Bonnie and Brandon Laws get honest about what is actually happening in hiring. They cover the myths job seekers still believe, why AI-written resumes are making recruiters work harder, and how Zapier is using agentic AI interviews and automation across its process. Bonnie also shares direct advice for anyone stuck in a long search, including why your self-assessment is probably off and where the real opportunities are. If you hire people or are looking for your next role, this one is worth your time.
