Welcome to episode #1011 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). We tend to romanticize leadership as an act of personal brilliance, but the deeper story is often about the people who understand what truly moves human beings toward one another. Jon Levy has built a career around that question. A renowned human behavioral scientist, consultant and creator of the long-running Influencers Dinner - a global, invitation-only experiment where guests cook together anonymously to dissolve status cues and foster authentic connection - Jon has spent over fifteen years studying why people bond, collaborate and trust. His work has brought Olympians, Nobel laureates, astronauts, CEOs, creators, and even political leaders into the same kitchen, all guided by his curiosity about what helps human beings unlock their best collective instincts. Jon is also the author of The 2 AM Principle and You're Invited, books that explore adventure, belonging, and the science of human connection. His newest book, Team Intelligence - How Brilliant Leaders Unlock Collective Genius, extends this exploration into the workplace, challenging long-held assumptions about leadership, performance, and why great teams succeed. In this conversation, Jon talks through the surprising behaviors that shape genuine relationships, the role anonymity plays in reducing status pressure, the misconceptions organizations hold about star performers, the importance of emotional intelligence, and why bonus structures often undermine collaboration. He touches on the future of hybrid work, the psychology of status, the gap between individual excellence and team effectiveness, and the small but essential habits that allow groups to think more clearly and solve problems more intelligently. Above all, the discussion offers a window into the mind of someone who has spent his career studying how people come together, and how leaders can create the conditions for teams to do their best thinking.

This week on Galway Talks, We heard the powerful story of Jade McFarlane. She was raped by her friend's father in their home when she was just 19 years of age. ​She bravely waived her anonymity so that she could name her rapist. She came on to the programme this week and shared her story with us   We also heard of the situation in Ballybane over the mid-term break. ​A number of stones were thrown at vehicles and buses, some causing injury to the passengers within them. ​There have been calls for better lights in the area and also for stakeholders to come together in the area to tackle this problem head-on. ​We discussed it on the programme with Donal Lynch, community activist in the Ballybane area, but also with FF Cllr. Alan Cheevers.   International Protection Applicants and violence directed at them was very much to the fore again this week. ​A lot of commentators are blaming this increase in aggression towards international protection centres on government rhetoric. ​Sai Gujulla is himself an immigrant into this country and said we need to see leadership now rather than diverting blame. Some politicians have been accused of conflating the lacking public services and housing situation with migrants and immigration. ​ This week, climate change was very much in the mainstream here in Ireland, across Europe, and the world. ​Environment Ministers agreed on a 90% carbon emissions reduction by 2040, with some loopholes in effect between now and 2035. ​This has been welcomed in many of the green sectors, but there is criticism that it might not have gone far enough, while others say some of these targets are unachievable and may make us anti-competitive. We heard from people in Galway City who gave their thoughts on the climate situation here in Ireland and globally. We got the views of Green Party representative for Galway West for the upcoming by-election, Niall Murphy, and Independent Ireland Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice on the issue with me during the week.

The University of Montana has a “herd.” Students across campus are posting on the anonymous social media platform YikYak, where they share questions, thoughts, memes and complaints. It's an app to share what's on your mind, but do people share too much? As more students join and engage anonymously, solidarity is growing, but there are negatives among the positives.   Episode by Grace Golbach / Montana Kaimin Full transcripts of this episode and all others are available online at www.montanakaimin.com/the_kaimin_cast/ Questions?

This conversation with Dee Scarano delves into the concept of psychological safety, emphasizing the importance of honesty and vulnerability in communication. Dee shares how fear of judgment can hinder open expression and explore practical strategies for creating an environment where individuals feel safe to share their thoughts. They highlight the significance of anonymity, comfort zones, and standardized formats in fostering inclusivity and collaboration.    Honesty in communication fosters psychological safety. Psychological safety allows individuals to voice their thoughts without fear. Fear of judgment is a significant barrier to open communication. Anonymity is crucial for creating a safe space for sharing ideas. Building comfort zones is essential before encouraging risk-taking. Standardized formats help ensure equal contributions from all participants. Facilitators must create structures that promote psychological safety. Understanding human behavior is key to effective facilitation. Sharing knowledge within the facilitation community is vital. Vulnerability can lead to stronger connections and collaboration.

Anonymity in workplace investigations is a double-edged sword: it can protect whistleblowers but also complicate investigations and fairness. In the recording of our recent IFSEA webinar, we were joined by: - Rachida el Johari, Sagiure Legal, Amsterdam - Mathilde Houet Weil, Weil & Associés, Paris - Colleen Cleary, Simmons & Simmons, Dublin - Andrew Pavlovic, CM Murray LLP, London - Emma Bartlett, CM Murray LLP, London (Chair) The key highlights covered in this webinar include: Jurisdictional Differences: - In Ireland, anonymous complaints may not require action, risking procedural issues. - In France, anonymous statements are allowed but must be supported by other evidence; cultural sensitivities are significant. - In the UK, anonymous complaints are accepted if detailed, but pose evidentiary challenges. The Netherlands emphasises fair trial rights, making anonymous reporting complex. Investigator & Regulator Challenges: - Anonymous reports protect identities but make evidence gathering and transparency harder. Regulators like the SRA and BSB struggle to act on such complaints. Practical Guidance: - Investigators should build trust, follow clear protocols, and explain the process to all parties. Policies should discourage anonymity where possible, ensuring fair hearings and due process. Bystander Role: - Employees must be empowered to report misconduct, with clear escalation routes and cultural support. - Organisations should review their investigation policies to balance confidentiality, fairness, and legal compliance. If you have any questions relating to this recording or if you would like discuss work place investigations in further detail, please contact Partners Emma Bartlett or Andrew Pavlovic.

What if the deepest work God does in us happens when no one sees? When we feel forgotten, disillusioned, or unsure if our faith is still intact? Most of us would rather skip the wilderness. But what if the desert isn't punishment—it's preparation? This week on Win Today, international recording artist Evan Craft joins us for a raw and honest conversation about faith in the silence, finding God in the dark night of the soul, and what it means to serve when no one applauds. Together, we confront the cynicism that creeps in when life feels unfair, the pressure to perform for spiritual approval, and the questions we rarely admit we're asking, especially when God doesn't move how we expected. If you've ever felt forgotten by God or frustrated with the silence, this episode is for you.

▶️ START YOU 7 DAY RESET HERE - www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   Porn addiction isn't just real—it's one of the most destructive forces keeping men stuck in mediocrity. Worse than drugs. Worse than alcohol.   Why? Because of the 3 A's that make it deadlier than anything else out there:   Affordability. Accessibility. Anonymity.   In this raw and unfiltered episode of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank Rich exposes why porn addiction is hitting men harder than anyone wants to admit—and why breaking free requires more than willpower.   If you've ever wondered why you keep relapsing… Why your drive is gone… Why you feel ashamed, stuck, or secretly powerless… This is your wake-up call.  

On this week's Keepin It Real, Cam Marston got some blowback from a social media post this week. He asks us, "How do you deal with haters?" ----- One year ago, I set a goal to paddle board across Mobile Bay. I completed that goal in May. The second part of the goal was to write about the challenge and be paid to have it printed. That was completed last week when the story was carried in Mobile Bay Magazine. I will get a small payment in a week or so. A year's planning, researching, note-taking, exercising, preparing and lots of paddling later, the goal was entirely met. Pretty cool. Yesterday, Mobile Bay magazine made posts about my paddle with links taking readers to the story and I received a good bit of social media attention as a result.  The vast majority of the social media comments were very positive and congratulatory. Today's commentary is about the ones that weren't. No sooner had the magazine posted the story than a handful of people jumped in to denigrate my effort. Some said that my paddle across the Bay wasn't that hard and that they could do it. Essentially, my effort wasn't worthy of the attention I was receiving. Others said they know people who swim across the bay and that my paddle, again, wasn't much of an accomplishment. And let me say again, the vast majority of comments were very positive, but what makes people want to attack other's accomplishments? What triggers haters? There's a type of person that simply can't let others be acknowledged without debasing their achievements. Unfortunately, they're everywhere. They lurk in shadows waiting to leap out and knock down someone's efforts. Is it possible to scroll through social media and NOT attack other's success? Certainly. But some can't. Or won't. What is it about these people? Remarkably, I sat this morning after reading some of these comments and began questioning if my paddle board crossing was truly that hard? Maybe they were right? Did I overblow the effort seeking some sort of vainglory? It didn't take long for me to answer No. All aspects of this goal were a difficult challenge and when I finished crossing the Bay the pain and exhaustion I felt were very real. A superhero athlete could have done it easily. Me? It was a true struggle. Discouragement is a powerful drug. It's meant to stoke the ego of the pusher. And the ego, unchecked, always compares, elevates and separates. It says I've judged you, I'm different and I'm better. It's the motive of the hater. I knew none of the people who tried to devalue my effort. I think none of them knew me. Anonymity is key to haters. If there is a message here, it's one you and I have already heard before - it's to keep achieving. Keep making things happen. Set goals, do bold and audacious things. Let the haters try to knock you down but don't flinch. Don't even turn your head. Accept helpful criticism but ignore the rest. Because when they're judging, evaluating and separating they're dying inside due to their personal weakness. We'll never be rid of them, but we can devalue them.  And maybe, in time, like gnats and mosquitos, they'll go away. I'm Cam Marston and I'm just trying to keep it real.

Sexual assault survivors are often allowed to proceed anonymously during court trials for several reasons, primarily aimed at protecting their privacy, safety, and well-being:Reducing Trauma: Testifying about sexual assault can be an incredibly traumatic experience for survivors. Allowing them to proceed anonymously can help reduce the additional stress and trauma associated with public exposure and scrutiny.Protecting Privacy: Anonymity shields survivors from unwanted public attention and intrusion into their personal lives. It allows them to maintain a level of privacy and control over their own narrative.Encouraging Reporting: Fear of public exposure can deter survivors from reporting sexual assault or seeking justice. Anonymity can help encourage survivors to come forward and participate in legal proceedings without the fear of being publicly identified and stigmatized.Ensuring Safety: In some cases, survivors may fear retaliation or harassment from the accused or their supporters. Anonymity can provide an added layer of protection and help ensure the safety of the survivor and their loved ones.However, there are also potential problems that may arise from allowing an accuser to remain anonymous:Fairness to the Accused: Anonymity for the accuser can raise concerns about fairness in the legal process. It may limit the accused's ability to fully defend themselves if they cannot know the identity of their accuser or access potentially relevant information about them.Presumption of Innocence: Anonymity may undermine the principle of "innocent until proven guilty" by creating an imbalance in the perception of the case. The accused may face increased scrutiny and presumption of guilt, especially in the absence of transparency regarding the accuser's identity.Potential for False Accusations: Without the accuser's identity being disclosed, there may be concerns about false accusations going unchallenged. Anonymity could make it more difficult for the accused to present evidence or witnesses that could refute the allegations.Impact on Public Confidence: Anonymity can sometimes lead to skepticism or distrust in the legal process, as it may be perceived as favoring one party over the other. This could affect public confidence in the fairness and integrity of the judicial system.In this episode we get a look at the Judge's order denying the request to proceed anonymously for the duration of the proceedings.(commercial at 11:57)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.611545.49.0.pdf (courtlistener.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Allowing an accuser to proceed anonymously in civil lawsuits or criminal proceedings offers several advantages. It protects the individual's privacy, especially in cases involving sensitive matters like sexual assault, thereby reducing potential public scrutiny and emotional distress. Anonymity can also shield the accuser from possible retaliation or harassment, encouraging victims to come forward without fear of personal repercussions. This protection is particularly vital when the accused holds significant power or influence, as it helps balance the scales of justice.However, anonymity in legal proceedings presents notable challenges. It may hinder the defendant's ability to fully investigate the accuser's background and credibility, potentially impacting the fairness of the trial. The public's right to open judicial proceedings is also compromised, as transparency is a cornerstone of the legal system. Moreover, anonymity could inadvertently suggest that the allegations are more severe, potentially biasing jurors or the public against the defendant. Courts must carefully weigh these factors, often requiring compelling reasons to grant anonymity to ensure that justice is served equitably for all parties involved.The debate over anonymity for Sean "Diddy" Combs' accusers centers on balancing the accusers' privacy and safety with the defendant's right to a fair trial and the public's interest in transparent legal proceedings. Some accusers have sought to proceed under pseudonyms to protect themselves from potential harassment and public scrutiny. However, courts have ruled that allegations alone do not justify anonymity, emphasizing the importance of openness in judicial processes and the defendant's ability to investigate the accusers' credibility. This tension highlights the complexities of handling sensitive allegations against high-profile individuals.Let's dive in!(commercial at 9:13)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Most of Sean ‘Diddy' Combs's Accusers Are Unnamed.

In the amended complaint filed under case number 1:24-cv-07977-VSB, plaintiff Shareka Sherrod accuses Sean Combs and a network of his affiliated companies—including Daddy's House Recordings, Combs Global, and multiple Bad Boy Entertainment entities—of engaging in a pattern of egregious misconduct that she alleges amounts to sex trafficking, assault, battery, and other civil rights violations. Sherrod claims she was manipulated, exploited, and abused while under the influence and control of Combs and his enterprise, which she describes as operating with a coordinated structure designed to lure, intimidate, and silence victims. The complaint also names numerous “Organizational Does” and “Individual Does,” suggesting additional perpetrators and enablers whose identities may be revealed through discovery.Sherrod's lawsuit demands a jury trial and asserts that the abuse she suffered was not incidental, but part of a broader, systematized operation of exploitation embedded within Combs' business empire. The complaint details alleged psychological and physical harm, and frames her experience as one of many involving women recruited and harmed under similar circumstances. Through this civil action, Sherrod seeks not only monetary damages but legal accountability for what she claims was a deliberate and sustained campaign of abuse and cover-up enabled by corporate infrastructure and protected by power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.630246.64.0.pdf

Recent judicial decisions denying anonymity to plaintiffs in sexual assault lawsuits against Sean "Diddy" Combs could significantly influence other pending and future cases against him. In October 2024, U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil ruled that a woman accusing Combs of rape in 2004 must reveal her identity to proceed with her lawsuit. The judge emphasized the public's interest in open judicial proceedings and Combs' right to investigate the accuser's background and credibility. This decision sets a precedent that may compel other plaintiffs to disclose their identities, potentially deterring some from pursuing legal action due to fears of public exposure and retaliation. The implications of this ruling extend beyond individual cases, potentially affecting the broader landscape of sexual assault litigation involving high-profile figures. Legal experts suggest that requiring plaintiffs to identify themselves could discourage victims from coming forward, especially when the accused holds significant power and influence. This development may lead to a chilling effect on the filing of similar lawsuits, as potential plaintiffs weigh the personal risks of public identification against seeking justice. Consequently, the balance between a defendant's right to a fair trial and a plaintiff's right to privacy remains a contentious issue in the legal system.Let's dive in!(commercial at 8:46)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean ‘Diddy' Combs case: What the Jane Doe ruling could mean for the other already-filed cases | CNN

Chelsea Lovelace alleges in her civil suit that during her relationship with Sean "Diddy" Combs, he subjected her to repeated acts of coercion, abuse, and sexual assault. According to the complaint, Combs lured her into traveling to see him, administered drugs to her without her consent, and physically assaulted her—including slapping her during violent encounters. Lovelace further claims that she became pregnant during this period and that Combs pressured her into having an abortion; she ultimately suffered a miscarriage. She also alleges that Combs systematically isolated her from friends and family, manipulated her emotionally, and used financial control to keep her dependent—providing an allowance while discouraging her from seeking employment.The suit contends that Combs maintained this coercive dynamic through a pattern of drugging, physical violence, emotional abuse, and economic manipulation, leaving Lovelace trapped in a situation where she was unable to freely make decisions about her own life or body. She claims that Combs employed his staff and associates to further control and monitor her, ensuring compliance with his demands. Lovelace is seeking damages on multiple grounds, including sexual assault, battery, and negligent infliction of emotional distress, asserting that the experience left her with lasting psychological and emotional harm.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy accuser reveals her identity in shocking lawsuit detailing her 'bitten feet' and freak-off fears | Daily Mail Online

Send us a text by clicking this link!Our digital personas often reveal more about us than we intend, especially when the veil of anonymity gets pulled back. In this provocative episode, we navigate the murky waters of online identity after a Catholic Twitter personality's troubling past came to light through digital detective work.Where do we draw the ethical line between legitimate privacy concerns and accountability for our words and actions? As we examine this case study, we confront an uncomfortable truth: the mask of anonymity may hide our face from others, but not from God. "Being nameless doesn't make you bodiless," as one of our hosts pointedly observes. "It just makes your sins feel separate from you, but it's still you at the end of the day."The conversation expands into broader theological territory as we dissect a controversial video of a deaf priest consecrating the Eucharist through sign language. This unprecedented situation raises profound questions about sacramental validity that traditional Catholic theology never had to address. We also take Apple TV to task for a shockingly blasphemous scene depicting characters treating consecrated hosts as snacks – highlighting the entertainment industry's troubling comfort with disrespecting Catholic traditions.Later, we transition to relationships and marriage, offering a counterpoint to popular Catholic dating advice that often misses the mark. Our candid discussion covers the dynamics of authority in marriage, the importance of masculine leadership, and why maintaining attraction matters in long-term relationships. Whether you're navigating online Catholic spaces or seeking to build a faith-centered relationship, this episode offers both spiritual wisdom and practical guidance for living authentically in a digital age where appearances often overshadow substance.Sponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

I, Stewart Alsop, am thrilled to welcome Xathil of Poliebotics to this episode of Crazy Wisdom, for what is actually our second take, this time with a visual surprise involving a fascinating 3D-printed Bauta mask. Xathil is doing some truly groundbreaking work at the intersection of physical reality, cryptography, and AI, which we dive deep into, exploring everything from the philosophical implications of anonymity to the technical wizardry behind his "Truth Beam."Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps01:35 Xathil explains the 3D-printed Bauta Mask, its Venetian origins, and its role in enabling truth through anonymity via his project, Poliepals.04:50 The crucial distinction between public identity and "real" identity, and how pseudonyms can foster truth-telling rather than just conceal.10:15 Addressing the serious risks faced by crypto influencers due to public displays of wealth and the broader implications for online identity.15:05 Xathil details the core Poliebotics technology: the "Truth Beam," a projector-camera system for cryptographically timestamping physical reality.18:50 Clarifying the concept of "proof of aliveness"—verifying a person is currently live in a video call—versus the more complex "proof of liveness."21:45 How the speed of light provides a fundamental advantage for Poliebotics in outmaneuvering AI-generated deepfakes.32:10 The concern of an "inversion," where machine learning systems could become dominant over physical reality by using humans as their actuators.45:00 Xathil's ambitious project to use Poliebotics for creating cryptographically verifiable records of biodiversity, beginning with an enhanced Meles trap.Key InsightsAnonymity as a Truth Catalyst: Drawing from Oscar Wilde, the Bauta mask symbolizes how anonymity or pseudonyms can empower individuals to reveal deeper, more authentic truths. This challenges the notion that masks only serve to hide, suggesting they can be tools for genuine self-expression.The Bifurcation of Identity: In our digital age, distinguishing between one's core "real" identity and various public-facing personas is increasingly vital. This separation isn't merely about concealment but offers a space for truthful expression while navigating public life.The Truth Beam: Anchoring Reality: Poliebotics' "Truth Beam" technology employs a projector-camera system to cast cryptographic hashes onto physical scenes, recording them and anchoring them to a blockchain. This aims to create immutable, verifiable records of reality to combat the rise of sophisticated deepfakes.Harnessing Light Speed Against Deepfakes: The fundamental defense Poliebotics offers against AI-generated fakes is the speed of light. Real-world light reflection for capturing projected hashes is virtually instantaneous, whereas an AI must simulate this complex process, a task too slow to keep up with real-time verification.The Specter of Humans as AI Actuators: A significant future concern is the "inversion," where AI systems might utilize humans as unwitting agents to achieve their objectives in the physical world. By manipulating incentives, AIs could effectively direct human actions, raising profound questions about agency.Towards AI Symbiosis: The ideal future isn't a human-AI war or complete technological asceticism, but a cooperative coexistence between nature, humanity, and artificial systems. This involves developing AI responsibly, instilling human values, and creating systems that are non-threatening and beneficial.Contact Information*   Polybotics' GitHub*   Poliepals*   Xathil: Xathil@ProtonMail.com
