Content Warning: This episode contains frank discussions about child sex trafficking. We encourage you to care for your well-being as you listen to and share this episode about the all-too-real danger of human trafficking. Dr. Laura welcomes a return guest alongside a new expert in this challenging and vitally important episode on child sex trafficking. Alan Smyth, Executive Director of Saving Innocence (based in LA) and co-author of “MEN! Fight For Me”, returns to the show along with new guest Conroy Kanter, President of KK Ranch Productions and Producer of the movie Trafficked. Their conversation lifts the veil of secrecy on the issue of child sex trafficking, revealing how close to home it is and the current efforts to raise awareness of the tragic reality of this heinous crime.Alan Smyth reveals that his celebrated book, “MEN! Fight For Me”, written with the collaborative efforts of trafficking survivors, is now in audiobook form for even wider distribution. Conroy Kanter shares how her 2017 film, Trafficked, starring Ashley Judd and Patrick Duffy, is currently available to watch on Amazon Prime. Alan and Conroy readily share their knowledge with Dr. Laura. Awareness of the grim reality of child sex trafficking is necessary in order to combat the continuing spread of the criminal practice. To that end, everyone who hears this conversation is offered an opportunity to acknowledge the present danger of the issue and act by sharing these resources and protecting children with foreknowledge.    “There's a trafficker, and then there's a trafficked victim, to coin your movie title. And all of that is exploitation. There's certainly exploitation that isn't yet trafficking, but when that third-party trafficker, controller, is forcing someone to be somewhere and receiving money for some sort of sexual, you know, exploitation or effort, then it becomes trafficking. And it's usually, according to the definition, through force, physical force, oftentimes violent force, sometimes lethal force, fraud or coercion.” Alan Smyth“And [trafficking] is not something that you just want to say, oh, that happens in another country far far away. It happens right here!” Conroy KanterAbout Alan Smyth:Alan Smyth is married and a father of two children and one grandchild.

Dr. Laura reflects on the past four years as she welcomes everyone to Season Five of Where Work Meets Life™. In looking back through nearly one hundred episodes, she reiterates her desire to help people and organizations thrive, find career fulfillment, and advocate for a better world. What, then, does Season Five hold for us? Dr. Laura gives a glimpse into the future and the pressing issues she will continue to research and pursue as well as those she is revisiting to shine more light on.Employee mental health concerns, burnout, and overwork are increasing in young workers and Dr. Laura's first guest of the new season, Brigid Schulte, wrote a book called “Over Work: Transforming the Daily Grind in the Quest for a Better Life” to address exactly these issues. Dr. Laura will continue to focus on growth and evolution, discussing the importance of overcoming trauma for leaders with author Kelly Campbell (“Heal to Lead”) and finding meaning in life with artist Tresa Gibson. She also revisits a terrible and difficult subject matter that nonetheless requires us all to look at unflinchingly: exploring the reality of human trafficking with producer Conroy Kanter and author Alan Smyth. Season Five will bring a wealth of insight into toxic bosses and their equally toxic leadership, as well as career fulfillment and how to thrive in this challenging but beautiful world. “So this is a warning call for organizational leaders to really double down on investing in your culture and your leadership development. And employee wellbeing declined despite a lot of talk about the importance of mental wellness; the talk is not leading to action. It's not changing things.”  Dr. LauraAbout Dr. Laura:Dr. Laura Hambley Lovett is a work and career psychologist and thought leader on the evolution of work. She has always been fascinated by how work intersects with life and loves to use her expertise to improve organizations and help people thrive. Her passion for taking creative ideas and launching them into successful business strategies led her to start three counselling psychology practices (Calgary Career Counselling, Canada Career Counselling, and Synthesis Psychology), as well as six different business brands offering organizational assessment and consulting services.Dr. Laura is honoured to have been selected as a Woman of Distinction in Canada in 2014 and received a Canadian Woman of Inspiration Award as a Global Influencer in 2018.Resources:“Overwork: Transforming the Daily Grind in the Quest for a Better Life” by Brigid Schulte “Heal to Lead: Revolutionizing Leadership through Trauma Healing”t by Kelly Campbell Tresa Gibson“Men!

This week on the Exodus Cry Podcast, we talk with Alan Smyth, the executive director at Saving Innocence, an anti-trafficking nonprofit in Los Angeles, California that aims to serve, empower and advocate for child victims of sex trafficking. After a child sex trafficking survivor shared, “I could no longer fight for myself, I needed someone to fight for me,” Alan was moved into action. He quickly answered that call. Since then, Alan co-authored a book called “Men! Fight for Me” that teaches how men can end trafficking and sexual exploitation. He and Benjamin discuss healthy vs. toxic masculinity, male roles in exploitation, our culture's uplifting of the pimp mentality and the current scale of child sex trafficking within the United States.

Confession: I was not excited to rewatch this movie. I felt like it's the most overrated movie ever, but it turns out, it holds up! So I'm thrilled that Jonathan "Coach Jon" McLernon suggested that we revisit this spectacular film. Coach Jon is a husband and a father as well as a nutrition lifestyle coach. Shawshank Redemption is a very human film to Coach Jon, because of its story of perseverance and theme of integrity. And let's not forget about the friendship between Andy and Red - a relationship that transcends the movie screen. We discuss whether the Warden is representative of very many Christians today, and Coach Jon shares who the Warden really reminds him of. He then goes on to talk about what a real Christian person is. It's never beneficial to lump one person into a group, because each person is so much more than the sum of its parts. And isn't it odd that a movie based off of a Stephen King property decides to censor itself so much and shy away from showing violence? Coach Jon relates this to how everything seems to be shown on camera now, and makes the tie between British humor and American humor. I, of course, ask him if likes the American version of the Office or the British version better. Coach Jon then tells his story of being a survivor of attempted murder and how he found his way back from that trauma. He puts to rest my notion of masculinity and causes me to rethink one of my fantasies about being in a fight just to see if I could survive. This takes us into a conversation about toxic masculinity, which then leads us down a darker road that revolves around child trafficking and how that issue is a "man" issue. It's a problem with today's men. Coach Jon recommends the book, "Men, Fight for Me" by Alan Smyth. The link for that book is below. We talk about how the real world, as perceived in the movie, is a much scarier place than the prison itself. I ask Coach Jon to tell me about his personal prisons he's had to escape from. The answer? It might challenge you. But Coach Jon had a lot of help getting to where he is today, and it's because someone showed compassion on him. His words on compassion and the difference between that and empathy is striking. There is always the hope for something, and so we talk a lot about hope, what it is, why we need it, will it "drive a man insane" as Red suggests? Coach Jon reminds me that human beings are nothing if not resilient. And that statement alone gives me hope. My final question to Jon challenges his take on the rehabilitation process in the prison system. What is a better way to rehabilitate as opposed to what's displayed in the movie? We close out with five movie trivia questions and Coach Jon names three other desert island movies. Here are all the places you can find Coach Jon and the stuff he brought up in this show:Coach Jon's InstagramCoach Jon's TwitterBetween the Before and AfterCoach Jon's Youtube ChannelIt's Not So Black and WhiteA sample podcast by Coach JonAnother Sample podcast on Deep Health Academy TwitchHere's the link again to the book, "Men, Fight for Me"And here's all my links:InstagramFacebookTwitterEmail: Author.andrewtoy@gmail.comThis episode was sponsored by Spur Creative

Fight for Me: The Role of Authentic Masculinity in Ending Sexual Exploitation and Trafficking' in this episode. Alan details how the pandemic didn't bring a reprieve in trafficking cases like he had hoped it would, but instead increased the crime and instances of child trafficking.Laura finds out how Alan deals with such a traumatic day-to-day career, how he keeps his own balance and wellness in mind. They discuss “vicarious trauma”, the reality of how it can affect Alan and his coworkers, and what is done to address it. Alan shares vital information with Laura and all listeners on tending to one's own self care while still responding to his call to action to learn more about human trafficking and taking whatever action is available to work against it. “I want to challenge everybody to take another step forward in understanding and learning and getting involved in anti-human trafficking efforts.

"Men! Fight for Me!" is the title of a book inspired by one of the survivors who shares their story in its pages. Human trafficking awareness is big in January which is national human trafficking awareness month. Child sex trafficking awareness is the dirty little topic that no one can stomach. Alan Smyth & Jessica Midkiff share the uncomfortable truth that Child Sex Trafficking is alive and booming in the US. Both work with the charity organization Saving Innocence to fight for CSEC or (Commercially Sexually Exploited Children) It is a necessary fight that we must win at all cost. In part 1 of this podcast I go deep with author Alan Smyth about why Authentic Masculinity is the answer to the problem and what that looks like. How we can make a difference in this fight and what you can do to stop this atrocious and all too common crime. This is happening right here, everyday, everywhere with an estimated 300,000 children being trafficked in the US alone every day. It is not somewhere else and it is not someone else's problem. It has to end and you are the answer!   -------------------------- Guest and Organization information -----------------Websites: https://fightforme.net/ https://savinginnocence.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/savinginnocence https://www.facebook.com/FightForMeBook Twitter: https://twitter.com/savinginnocence https://twitter.com/2Cor618 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fightformebook/ https://www.instagram.com/savinginnocence/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@savinginnocence?lang=en Get the Book on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Men-Fight-Masculinity-Exploitation-Trafficking/dp/1954968388/ref=sr_1_1?crid=24G67SQPIIHH9&keywords=men+fight+for+me&qid=1642561986&s=books&sprefix=Men%21+Fight%2Cstripbooks%2C144&sr=1-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The video version of the show is available on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/n4ylMSNV5r8  

Content Warning: discussion of human trafficking, sexual exploitation, abuse and child abuseIn this episode, Laura speaks with Alan Smyth, Executive Director for Saving Innocence and co-author of the book ‘Men! Fight for Me: The Role of Authentic Masculinity in Ending Sexual Exploitation and Trafficking'. Alan has been on the front lines of caring for child victims of trafficking for six years through his role with Saving Innocence in LA. He calls his perspective a “backstage pass” to the horrors of trafficking and from that position realized that men need a specific call to action for their part in fighting trafficking. That realization led to his book, co-authored with Jessica Midkiff, herself a trafficking survivor.Laura and Alan explore the hard realities of how trafficking happens and how it happens right here in our own neighborhoods. They discuss necessary steps to take in addressing the issue and Alan shares how his book seeks specifically to move men to action. The term ‘authentic masculinity' defines a more positive and less toxic version of masculinity than one popularly upheld and how reaching men on that level is part of the work he is called to. “If we're not willing to step into it, and we're not willing to look at it closely and deal with it, it's going to continue to be the fastest growing crime in the world… and that's just unacceptable.” Alan SmythAbout Alan Smyth:Currently Alan serves as the Executive Director for Saving Innocence, an anti-human trafficking, community-based organization focused on child victims of sex trafficking.  Based in Los Angeles, Alan has responsibility over Direct Services and Business Operations.

This will take on a bit of a confessional tone. A few years ago, Dr. Christena Cleveland talked on my podcast about the need for black leaders to steer away from trying to influence white spaces so often. The effort, she clarified, to change white minds about whiteness, should be executed by white hands. Not because of a hatred or distain among black leaders for the people in white-centered cultures, but as a matter of workload, exhaustion and, in a sense, effectiveness. The translation and code switching needed in order to establish not just trust but a baseline of knowledge just wasn't worth it for a lot of black leaders, who could be spending their time organizing and inspiring in black spaces where agreements about life experience are already made. For example, more often than not, a room of non-white persons doesn't need convincing that the black experience of the legal system is profoundly different than it is for white persons. As she is so keen at doing, Dr. Cleveland delivered that truth with a fair mix between “stay in your lane” and “know your power.” And that's a very important distinction for me to make. Absolutely, I have needed to learn how to stay in my lane. I have a tendency to overreach because I want to do so much. That can lead to not just taking on more than I can handle well but even taking on roles FAR better filled by other people with different training, history and socio-cultural positioning. Meanwhile, i'm functionally stealing energy from efforts I can be making in roles more my cup of tea; places I can have a more lasting and deeper impact. I don't think I can be a leader among people of color in religious spaces.But I can witness their courage and work and can translate those efforts and victories for folks more like me. I don't think will be a leader among those building faith communities in the next season of Western religious life. But I can coach and champion and motivate and help those who are. That old author's dilemma of knowing your audience translates into a lot of life, including areas of leadership. And just as it can be true of authors, so it is for leaders, that learning where and with whom your work really lands can be as surprising as it is freeing. For both my recent guests, Alan Smyth and David Zach, their entrance into the fight against human slavery has meant learning which parts of that enormous, messy and interconnected world they are most effective in. For both, they've recognized that moving the hearts and minds of folks more like themselves is an area of power for them. Alan, a long-time leader of men, wrote a book on the connection between manhood and the vulnerability of children. A long time musician, David Zach career behind the mic of a band making music for the religiously inclined has meant taking stories from some very dark corners of the world into places that would never otherwise hear them. There are victories I thought I'd have at this point in my life and goals I thought I'd have achieved that I simply had to let go of because they don't fall within the wise and loving parameters of my limited life. Meanwhile, within those limits, there are depths of connection and difference I didn't know were available to me until I traded in breadth of influence for that depth. It's a trade I'm happy to have made.  

It was somewhere in the early 2000s when I got a package in the mail from a friend, who had just taken a job with an organization that purported to rescue people from slavery. And I've got to admit, and especially at the time, it was something of an embarrassing admission that I had no idea that that was a need. It blew my mind.There are people in slavery, there are still people in slavery. And it still does actually kind of blew my mind, but in a different way. Since that time, I've had the opportunity, the privilege to be a partner with a few different organizations that do exactly that work. They rescue people living in slavery, they imprison and prosecute the men, predominantly men who run black market, slave organizations.And two things continue to pop up for me.The first being what I just mentioned, that it's awful, it's tragic, it's actually mind-numbing, that human beings would sell and buy other human beings, specifically that human beings would sell, or buy children.Secondly, I'm saddened at not just the cultural pattern, but even the pattern in my own life, by which I recognize or in which I recognize that I don't maintain a regular concern, I lose focus about or towards this particular dark corner of the world. There are seasons when I do or we do focus on human trafficking on human slavery, the fact that we're still buying and selling human lives, and then there are seasons, that it's just not urgent. It doesn't pop up. It isn't in my regular everyday conscience.And so I champion, the lives the voices, the energies of the people, who do fight this battle, who do dig in they after day after day. And really specifically over the next couple episodes, I want to highlight to folks who come from backgrounds really similar to mine, and have not just again, but have maintained that pace,beginning with Alan Smith, who's a dear friend of mine that I got to speak to a few weeks ago about this organization that he has started working with, that allows him to place a year's worth of work among adolescents in a different sphere of life into this really dark corner and bring a bit of light. I enjoyed the conversation. I think you will too check it out.

Celebrating a Scotland Win The Deputy FM, John Swinney, took the podium to answer for the Scottish Government and NOT the SNP as he scolded a tabloid hack at the press briefing. Lockdown level restrictions might be coming for some areas of Scotland. Changes of testing and quarantine periods were mentioned. The impact of Covid in Winter and especially over Xmas upon the NHS is a concern. An article by Joanna Cherry in the National where she challenges Alan Smyth’s position leads to a rammie between Norry and Stewart. There’s another poll with good news for independence. John Nicholson roasts Tory toady Ben Bradley on TV. Celebrating a Scotland win upsets Unionists. Who knew?

Why does trafficking exist? Our guest, Alan Smyth, executive director of Saving Innocence, a Los Angeles-based non-profit that serves, empowers, and advocates for child victims of sex trafficking, dives into the cultural expectations that foster trafficking and addresses the action steps we can each take to be a part of reducing demand. Alan shares his experiences as a dad raising a son, wrestling with how to express and talk about masculinity. He shares how those types of conversations impact human trafficking. Ultimately, truck drivers, bus drivers, energy employees and community members can address this at three levels -- in ourselves, conversations between family and friends, as well as education at a broader level, including corporate policies. Alan asks, “How can men become a big part of ending trafficking? Live a life that honors, serves and protects women and call other men into that.” Resources: Saving Innocence: https://savinginnocence.org/ Addressing Demand: Man to Man by Truckers Against Trafficking resources: http://truckersagainsttrafficking.org/man-to-man-campaign/

Featuring our first guest, the indefatigable Dave Sanderson. Co-Producer and engineer on upwards of 7,000 65daysofstatic records. Trying to stick mainly on the topic of how we all co-produce the 65 records, we mumble about all sorts, including: • Dave’s back catalogue. • when ‘producing a 65 record’ actually means telling us to go away and write more songs. • the legend of Alan Smyth, professional Sheffield Wizard. • some of the thinking behind our A Year of Wreckage project • late capitalism etc. etc. exploiting yrself = good art!?? • caffeine-based confrontation.

Osobe s cističnom fibrozom posebno su osjetljive na infekcije prsnog koša, od kojih neke mogu postati kronične. Stoga je važno pokušati pronaći lijekove za ove infekcije, a posljednji Cochrane osvrt iz Cochrane grupe za cističnu fibrozu i genetske poremećaje ispituje dokaze za primjenu antibiotika. Alan Smyth, koordintor ove grupe sa sjedištem na Sveučilištu u Nottinghamu u Velikoj Britaniji, jedan je od autora ovog istraživanja iz travnja 2017 g. Alan objašnjava što su otkrili, Nina Raguž, suradnica hrvatskog Cochranea, prevela je razgovor, a Irena Zakarija-Grković iz Hrvatskog Cochranea s Medicinskog fakulteta u Splitu će nam ga pročitati.
