Caring Transitions of Powder Springs & Dallas, GA Offers Full-Service Solution for Senior Relocation

West Atlanta-based compassionate team looks to provide premier stress-free solutions to the local community

HIRAM, Ga., Feb. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Caring Transitions, the nation’s leading provider of senior relocation and transition services, announces the launch of its newest location just outside Atlanta, serving Dallas, Hiram, Powder Springs, and the surrounding communities. Caring Transitions of Powder Springs & Dallas, GA, is owned and operated by husband and wife teams Renee and Kevin Pritchett and Tammy Diehl, and Jay Whitaker. Together, they bring a wealth of compassion and expertise to the forefront of senior care solutions.

“We see an opportunity to fill a void with the highest quality of service. We aim to give the senior market the premier service they deserve.”

The decision to establish the business stemmed from Renee’s unexpected discovery of CTBIDS, Caring Transitions’ online auction platform, while antique shopping. Drawing from her background in social services, Renee recognized an opportunity to address the needs of vulnerable segments of society, particularly seniors, by providing comprehensive transition services.

Renee said “I learned that my heart is with younger children and seniors. To me, it’s because they are the most vulnerable in our society. I just really want to be an advocate for the senior community. Let’s get to know them.”

Kevin, with nearly two decades of experience in construction and commercial real estate, sees Caring Transitions as a chance to make a direct, positive impact on the lives of seniors and their families. He looks forward to the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded professionals dedicated to providing premier services to the local community.

“We see an opportunity to fill a void with the highest quality of service. We aim to give the senior market the premier service they deserve.” Kevin explained.

Longtime friends Jay Whitaker and Tammy Diehl have teamed up with the Pritchetts on this venture. Through open discussions and appreciation of each other’s strengths, they see Caring Transitions as an opportunity to utilize their expertise and shared passions.

Diehl’s background in residential real estate and volunteer coordination brings empathy and understanding to the ownership group. She emphasized that some of the greatest joy while working came from her volunteer work at a live performance theater alongside the seniors in her local community. In sharing her story, Tammy Diehl reflected on the many moments in her life that have shaped her dedication to serving others. After experiencing loss and the stress that comes with liquidating a home full of memories, she knows firsthand the difficulties that come with life’s transitions.

“I am hopeful, even if in a small way, the services of what we offer along with the hearts of our team will help facilitate a potentially difficult time and prevent some of what I have experienced in my own family,” she says.

Jay Whitaker, a seasoned professional with over 50 years of experience, brings invaluable insight to the team. His journey as a caregiver began seven years ago when he began looking after his father, a Vietnam War veteran. Whitaker, alongside Diehl, continued these caregiving responsibilities when Tammy’s mother moved in with them so they could care for her full-time. Jay’s firsthand experiences during these challenging times equip him to empathize with clients and their families.

Jay explained, “The realization that there is help and assistance or a partnership and a “Solution Response Team” for dealing with a difficult transition of a loved one.”

Caring Transitions is a franchise designed to minimize stress by utilizing specially trained professionals to oversee every detail of a senior’s transition with compassion, including decluttering, organizing, packing, move management, unpacking, resettling, and cleanouts. The company also manages both in-home and online estate sales. The online estate sales are hosted on CTBIDS, the brand’s widely popular auction platform, which can support its clients in liquidating unique and everyday treasures that many cherish.

“We’re ecstatic to welcome the team of Renee, Kevin, Tammy, and Jay to our franchise family and expand our network in Atlanta, Georgia,” said Ray Fabik, President of Caring Transitions. “Their collective experiences, personal and professional, along with each of them having a passion for helping others make them an excellent fit, and they will be able to offer a much-needed service to the people within their community.”

The new Caring Transitions location provides a unique full-service approach that is an end-to-end solution, including decluttering, resettling, clean-outs, space planning, and managing online estate sales providing a win-win experience for everyone.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Published

By

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
