Year-End Giving Reminder:  The last few weeks of the year are when most charitable giving happens — people feel more generous, tax benefits kick in for those who itemize, and many folks use year-end bonuses or appreciated stock to support causes they believe in. It’s the perfect moment to make a meaningful impact, especially with an organization that stretches every donor dollar farther than you ever could on your own.   Why United Way Might Be One of the Smartest Ways to Give Back To Business Monday You know how I like to start a Monday: a little caffeine, a little...

Every once in a while, the universe taps you on the shoulder and says, “Here ya go … this one’s one of yours.” That’s exactly what happened when I discovered Pete Bombaci, Founder & CEO of GenWell, Canada’s Human Connection Movement — and the man behind Talk To A Stranger Week, happening November 24–30 in Canada. As many of you know, I’m the author of How To Talk To Strangers: Advice From a Professional Stranger Talker, so when I found out about Pete’s work, I thought, “Yup. This is my kinda guy.

Are you overwhelmed, overextended, and still thinking “Eh, I’ll just do it myself—it’s faster”? Yes? Well the right answer should be NO.  That’s entrepreneur delusion talking. I know I am one and I'm not the best dekgator and yes I too try and do far too many things myself. On The Debbie Nigro Show, I linked up with the fabulous Jenna Eichholtz, partner at VA Growth Solutions, who popped in from Pennsylvania to drop some serious wisdom about delegating like a boss—without actually becoming a bossy boss. Here’s the big takeaway: You don’t need a full team… you...

 On this week’s Keeping the “Live” in Alive segment of The Debbie Nigro Show, I was joined by my longtime gal pal (though we’ve never actually met in person!) Linda Arroz, who’s on an inspiring new mission in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Linda is helping raise funds for a short social impact film called Awakening Georgie — a powerful narrative about the hidden struggles of traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors and the miracles that can come from compassion. “Thirty percent of injury-related deaths in the U.S. are caused by a traumatic brain injury. That’s a lot. We need to...

On The Debbie Nigro Show, I like to dig into stories that make you go, “Wait, what?!” This week’s head-turner: “Ozempic Teeth.” Yep, that’s the headline making waves, and I knew I had to call in my go-to expert, Dr. John Castanaro of Castanaro Dental in Yonkers, NY, to help get to ‘the tooth of the matter’. What Are “Ozempic Teeth”? GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy have taken the world by storm for their weight-loss benefits. But dentists are warning about side effects showing up in the mouth.

On The Debbie Nigro Show, I had the pleasure of spotlighting Simon Cascante, founder of Montaukila Tequila. Boy oh boy his story sure is a shining example of one of my favorite sayings  - “Risk It! or Regret It!" Simon skipped college, started bussing tables at the Lobster Roll in East Hampton, and took the long road to launching his own spirit’s brand. No investors. No celebrity endorsements. Just grit, Google, and a dream. That persistence led him to cold-call nearly a dozen distilleries in Mexico until one finally said yes—thanks to a VP who had once vacationed in...

Can CBD Help Calm Hyper or Anxious Dogs? Yessiree says dog lover and CBD entrepreneur Paul Borde' Founder of Primabee CBD, and he says the dogs love it. 

Paul's done a lot of research into how CBD affects pets as well as humans. To be clear CBD  does not make a dog or a human high . CBD is a non-psychoactive hemp-derived compound, that's safe  to consume.

I decided to do a story on CBD for dogs because its the holiday season and there are people I want to visit whose dogs make me nervous LOL. Now that I'm more educated about CBD I figured I'd bring 'them' along a little gift of CBD so we can both relax.  Many dogs get a little hyper when company visits. Some dogs get a lot hyper and not just when people visit . Some like humans, have anxiety all the time and CBD has been found to be incredibly  helpful to calm them. CBD might be helpful for keeping your dog calm on a plane while traveling or when traveling long distance by car.

Paul says, almost all the articles about CBD on the internet talk about the 'human endocannabinoid system' and how it plays a role in many bodily functions. Dogs have it too and CBD will similarly affect your dogs as it affects you – by binding to endocannabinoid receptors in their body. The deficiencies we all have its kind of filling that void. The only difference is the 'dosing' and that depends on the size of the dog. 

In short, here are a few symptoms that point to your dog's anxiety and hyper activeness:

  • Aggressive behavior
  • Lack of energy or too much energy
  • Inability to relax
  • Depression
  • Lack of Interest in their favorite activities
  • Not responding to their name
  • Abnormal behavior such as running around the room or spinning in circles 
  • Panting
  • Excessive barking
  • Urinating or defecating in the house

Paul's two Jack Russell Terriers  weigh about 15 pounds. He says his wife cuts a CBD treat in half and gives it to them at bedtime. Paul gives them a touch more when friends are coming over to visit, adding that the CBD dog Chews are 100% safe and a dog can’t overdose. 

CBD is a big term, says Paul, and the market is crowded with lots of products out there not up to par on standards. Getting a high-quality product requires more effort than one can imagine. Although CBD is safe for your dog, a mislabeled CBD product can do more harm than good.

When shopping for for your pets CBD always make sure you buy top-quality hemp-derived CBD from a reputable brand that proves the quality through third-party labs test results like Primabee. Look for the 'certificate of analysis' on the CBD website you're purchasing from. Its critical and says that the products have been  independently tested that what you’re being sold  is absolutely what you’re getting.

Paul Borde' and Primabee CBD love their four-legged family members, so they've invested a ton of energy and time into learning how the famous hemp-derived compound can affect dogs. Everything you need to know is on their website here.

Enjoy the great educational conversation about CBD and how it might help your dog.
