Summer in Columbus has a personality of its own. One minute it’s a breezy evening at a festival in the Short North, the next it’s pushing 90 before noon and your phone feels like it’s sweating right along with you. Between concerts, food trucks, and packed patios, the city comes alive this time of year—and most of us are too busy enjoying it to think about what’s quietly piling up back home. You know the spot. A drawer, a closet, maybe a box in the basement. Old phones, outda

I walk down the street, sit at my desk, hit the gym—and everywhere I go, technology follows. Notifications, AI, algorithms… convenient, even comforting. But who is really in control? Am I making my own decisions, or is technology nudging me without me noticing?

Valentine’s Day is a reminder that relationships matter. But when relationships develop at work, the conversation shifts from personal to professional. The recent Coldplay concert incident showed how quickly a private dynamic can become a public governance issue. The real lesson isn’t about romance. It’s about leadership responsibility, transparency, and culture. As HR professionals and business leaders, we don’t manage emotions. We manage risk, fairness, and trust.

Our team had an incredible time at the SCTE Expo, where leaders from across the broadband, telecom, and cable industries gathered to discuss the future of connectivity. The energy was electric — and so was the passion for sustainability.

Have you ever wondered what happens to that old laptop gathering dust in your closet, or the phone charger tangled in a drawer that you haven’t used in years? You’re not alone. Most of us hold onto outdated electronics because we’re not sure what to do with them. That’s where community e-waste recycling events come in—like the ones we host at AVAY.

Fall is here! The air turns crisp, the leaves transform into fiery shades of red and gold, and everywhere you go, you can smell the unmistakable scent of pumpkin spice. Fall is a season that invites cozy sweaters, hot drinks, and—if you’re up for it—a little bit of weirdness. At AVAY, we love celebrating the season in ways that are fun, sustainable, and educational.

Every household has that drawer—the one stuffed with old phones, tangled chargers, and gadgets that haven’t seen the light of day in years. Multiply that by millions of households, and it adds up fast: the world generated 62 million tons of e-waste in 2022, but less than one-quarter was properly recycled. That means billions in valuable materials are literally being thrown away. According to the United Nations, 2022’s e-waste contained $91 billion worth of precious metals an
