At the end of May, I found myself driving home from a farm in Jefferson County with an adorable 13-week-old yellow lab puppy named Milo on my lap. He wasn’t the dog I had planned on bringing home—he wasn’t even the right color or gender. But this unexpected turn reminded me of something I see all the time when helping people save their family photos: life doesn’t always go as planned… and that’s often where the best stories begin. In this episode of Live with Mollie, I bring you into our puppy story, share thoughts on what your photo collection might be saying about your life, and offer updates in the ever-changing world of photo organizing. From Apple and Microsoft’s latest photo features to a big privacy alert from Facebook (Meta), I’ve got insights you won’t want to miss. 📅 New time starting next week: Tune in most Tuesdays at 10 AM Central for new episodes of Live with Mollie. 0:00 Getting Milo the puppy 0:33 Welcome & Show Intro 1:08 Topic – What photos say about life 2:25 Why the podcast paused & is back 4:08 Picking a puppy – plans change 6:25 Lesson – Not always getting what you want 6:56 What your photos reveal 8:22 Pixologie – life through photos 9:19 Common themes in collections 10:21 Photos remind us of real life 11:13 Daughter & cat story 12:03 Messy photo collections 12:57 Generational challenges 15:27 Takeaway – Don’t wait for perfect 15:52 Tech & AI in photos 17:05 News – Facebook AI privacy 18:23 Cloud upload cautions 19:19 Microsoft & Apple photo updates 21:17 Free tech means you’re the product 22:33 Apple Photos questions 24:41 Forever storage example 25:08 Screenshots & formats 26:30 Live Photo options 27:17 Upcoming events & boot camp 28:15 The Great Photo Voyage cruise 28:50 Schedule change 29:15 Final thoughts – focus on stories 30:08 Wrap-up 📌 Links mentioned in this episode: FOREVER Permanent Photo Storage - The Great Photo Voyage Cruise – February 2026 - Organizing Photos with Mac Photos - Thanks for watching!
