Been there, done that

Wisdom 💡:  On the latest episode of Laughing Matters, legendary ABC News correspondent Jim Hickey proves that being “on the scene” can sometimes mean standing in the middle of history as it unfolds. Hickey shares remarkable stories with hosts Steve Cody and Paul Merchán from his decades covering global conflict, political upheaval and unforgettable cultural moments, all with the calm perspective of someone who has truly seen it all. From learning Nelson Mandela would be freed to navigating the chaos of the Lebanese Civil War, the conversation is packed with jaw-dropping moments and deeply human insight. Think Forrest Gump, but for international journalism.

Tiny, but mighty

Wisdom 💡: Huggies is tugging at heartstrings with “Natural Born Fighters,” a campaign celebrating the extraordinary resilience of premature babies and the families behind them. By spotlighting real stories, including Seahawks linebacker Derick Hall’s remarkable journey from a 1% survival chance to Super Bowl champion, the brand turns tiny diapers into symbols of hope and strength. The effort also shines a light on Huggies’ specialized preemie diapers and raises funds for NICU families through social sharing. In a shrinking diaper market, Huggies proves that the most powerful brand stories are the ones rooted in humanity, not just product features.

Mom mode

Wit 😁: DoorDash is celebrating Mother’s Day by spotlighting the true nerve center of modern parenting: the group chat. Blending reality TV energy with iconic memes like “This Is Fine,” the campaign captures the chaos, therapy sessions and unsolicited life hacks moms exchange daily between school pickups and emotional breakdowns. Alongside gifting deals and delivery perks, DoorDash positions itself as the unofficial assistant for moms who are somehow doing everything at once. Sure, mamas may run on caffeine, but they survive on memes and mutual support.
