REL-MAR McConnell Media Company – Transcript The ‘X' Zone Radio/TV Show – Thursday, August 28, 2025 Happy Retirement Gord - Segment 1- 00:00.00 – 06:23.385    “Here on The ‘X' Zone Radio Show, while we broadcast internationally to listeners across Canada, the United States, and around the world, right here on your Home Town Radio, Classic 1220  AM – CFAJ from our broadcast studios in St. Catharines, Ontario, it's important to take time to celebrate the people in our own community who make a lasting difference in our daily lives.  Today, we celebrate Gord, the manager of Shoppers Drug Mart at 125 Carlton Street here in St. Catharines, who is retiring after beginning his career with Shoppers Drug Mart back in 1978. Now, let's take a moment to remember what Canada looked like when Gord first put on his Shopper's Drug Mart badge.    In 1978, Pierre Elliott Trudeau was our Prime Minister.  The Toronto Blue Jays had just played their second Major League Baseball season.  Terry Fox was training quietly for what would become his heroic Marathon of Hope.  Anne Murray was topping the music charts, and Canadians were gathering around their TVs to watch Hockey Night in Canada, cheering on legends like Guy Lafleur and the Montreal Canadiens, who would go on to the Stanley Cup that year.  Through all those decades of Canadian history, Gord has been a constant with  kindness, professionalism, and a friendly smile at Shoppers Drug Mart.His leadership and dedication, along with the entire Shoppers team, have made that store a true pillar of the community.  On behalf of all the friendly and dedicated staff at Shoppers Drug Mart, the friends you have made, the customers that you have helped, everyone here at The ‘X' Zone Radio/TV Show, my wife Laura and myself, Gord, we all want to thank you.  Thank you for always being there for our family, and for families in St. Catharines that have met you, and have been customers at your Shoppers Drug Mart in the Lake and Carlton Plaza.  Gord, as you step into retirement after nearly half a century of service, we all wish you nothing but health, happiness, and well-earned relaxation.  Gord, congratulations on an extraordinary career — and thank you for being part of our lives since 1978.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Today, we're joined by a familiar voice and a musically inclined CPG thought leader: Chris Perry of firstmovr. He's spent the last several months educating brands on how to prepare for a new age of product discovery and conversion paths with the dawn of AI-enabled search.  We're thrilled to have him back to share key insights and practical takeaways from his recent trainings. Tune in to find out more! KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, and Chris discuss: The Changing Digital Shelf: How the digital shelf continues to evolve rapidly and the growing importance of frictionless and personalized shopping experiences driven by AI. Personal Experiences with AI Search: How tools like Rufus and ChatGPT are influencing their own shopping behaviors. Choice Paralysis and AI Solutions: Choice overload for consumers and how agentic AI tools can curate and simplify decision-making, much like a “Costco experience” for endless online assortments. Training and Transition for Brands: Chris details the challenge of bringing legacy organizations up to speed, highlighting the need to expand skillsets from basic e-commerce “math” to effectively leveraging AI “calculator” tools. Brand Case Studies and Shopper Journeys: Through real shopping scenarios (e.g., searching for whitening toothpaste for sensitive teeth), Chris explains how AI-driven search results can differ from traditional ones, urging brands to rethink content strategy and optimization. Prompting and Shopper-Centric Content: Tips for brands to analyze and adapt to AI tools' pre-filled questions and dynamic prompts, which often reveal emerging shopper concerns and influence purchase considerations. Practical Optimization Insights: Actionable steps brands can take, such as focusing on clear, shopper-centric product content and continually testing how products show up in AI-influenced search environments. Looking Ahead: The future convergence of search and AI, predicting that the lines between “search bar” and “AI assistant” will soon blur, fundamentally changing shopper expectations. Tips for Brands: Brands are encouraged to treat the digital shelf as an ongoing process, not a project, and to use practical experimentation, shopper empathy, and iterative optimization to stay ahead.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Connect with Chris Perry Learn more about firstmovr Connect with our host, Julie Spear Connect with our host, Jordan Ripley Learn more about Acadia

Bahnhöfe sind Treffpunkt, Durchgangsort – und Lebensraum. Hier prallen Welten aufeinander: Reisende, Shopper, Pendlerinnen treffen auf Menschen, die am Rand der Gesellschaft stehen. Ein Ort voller Begegnungen – und Konfliktlinien. Zum Beispiel am Bahnhof in Aarau. In den letzten Jahren hat er sich zu einem modernen Reise-, Einkaufs- und Aufenthaltsort entwickelt mit fast 80'000 Menschen, die hier täglich vorbei kommen. Die meisten zum Ein- und Aussteigen am Zug. Direkt am Haupteingang – sitzt aber eine kleine Gruppe von Menschen, die nicht wegen dem Reisen hier ist. Menschen, die als sogenannt randständig gelten. Suchtkranke, Obdachlose, Asylsuchende. Viele empfinden sie als Bedrohung, wollen sie da weg haben. «Wem gehört der Bahnhof?» «Input»-Reporter Michael Bolliger hat sich einen Tag lang am Bahnhof in Aarau aufgehalten und mit vielen Menschen gesprochen. Mit Reisenden, Sicherheitsleuten und auch mit jenen am Haupteingang. Eine Reportage über Angstgefühle, Familienbande und Abfallsäcke. 00:00 Intro 01:46 Bahnhof Aarau, wir treffen "Bahnhofmami" Sandra Peter 04:34 Fakten zum Bahnhof und den unterschiedlichen Usergruppen 06:16 Rundgang durch den Bahnhof, Stimmen von Passant:innen zu Unsicherheit, Angst 10:00 Treffpunkt der Randständigen, Gespräche über Gratisessen, Familienbande und Schlägerein 16:20 Was sagt eigentlich die SBB zur Frage: "gefährlicher Bahnhof"? 17:57 Von Verwirrung und Risikobewertungen 20:10 Ein Sicherheitsdienst mit Abfallsäcken statt Handschellen 22:50 Es wird ruhig am Bahnhof Aarau - Zeit für ein Fazit. ____________________ Habt ihr Feedback, Fragen oder Wünsche?

Understanding the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15: A Guide to Healthier Produce Choices: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the Environmental Working Group's (EWG) 2025 Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce. Highlighting the importance of making informed produce choices, Leyal explains the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15, which list the most and least contaminated fruits and vegetables, respectively. Key findings include the presence of harmful pesticides in 75% of non-organic produce and the health risks associated with pesticide exposure. Leyla offers practical tips on reducing pesticide intake, such as opting for organic produce, washing fruits and vegetables, and utilizing frozen options when fresh organic produce is unavailable.

This episode is brought to you by Walmart Connect. From homepage to home improvement. Win Carts and Minds with Walmart Connect.Next in Media spoke with Sarah Hofstetter, chairwoman of Profitero, a division of Publicis, about the haves and have nots in retail media, whether the big players TV presence is going to cause a bifurcation in the market, and what agentic shopping might do to the whole category.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) released its 2025 Dirty Dozen list, a “Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce,” and it serves as a solid reminder that we still have a lot of work to do when it comes to cleaning up the food system. This year, the report found that more than 75 percent of non-organic samples tested positive for at least one pesticide.And get this: Topping the list on the basis of the level and toxicity of detected pesticides were green beans, spinach, bell peppers and hot peppers, kale, collard and mustard greens. In addition, blueberries remain, and alarmingly, green beans (which landed just outside the Dirty Dozen in 2025) displayed residue of acephate, a toxic pesticide that was banned from use on green beans grown for food by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) more than a decade ago. Plus, blackberries and potatoes landed on the list as new additions in 2025.
