Routine childhood vaccination helps build protection as families navigate daycare, school and other group settings where infectious disease can spread. Childhood vaccines help reduce the risk of severe health effects, while also helping to protect siblings, other family members, and friends. To talk with us about the importance of keeping up with the vaccine schedule, we’re joined today by Dr. David Hill, pediatrician from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Next, Measles cases are increasing in several states, including Northern Virginia, raising new concerns as the U.S. works to maintain its measles eradication status. To discuss this, we’re joined by Candace DeMatteis, Vice President of Policy and Advocacy for The Partnership to Fight Infectious Disease (PFID).

Small businesses have a unique opportunity in 2026 to transform how they compete for top talent. It comes at a critical time in the hiring market. To discuss the latest research on small business attitudes' towards hiring in 2026, how they are using AI to level up, and how AI hiring tools can help small businesses find the right talent to grow their business, we’re joined on this episode by Andrew Chimka, Senior Director of Product Management at LinkedIn.

Next, New AARP research finds that nearly one-quarter (24%) of workers aged 50 and older are concerned about losing their job within the next year, and more than two-thirds (67%) of older workers believe it would be difficult to find a new job right now.  With AI increasingly becoming part of the workplace, including the job search and hiring process, more older workers are recognizing the need to embrace this technology and use it to their advantage.  To talk with us about this we’re also joined by Carly Roszkowski, Vice President of Financial Resilience Programming at AARP.
