Podcasts about careless people

In Episode 203, Gayle Weiswasser, co-founder of Wonderland Books, an independent bookstore in Bethesda, Maryland, returns to the podcast with Sarah for a one-year check-in on the shop's journey. From holiday-season chaos to surprising customer favorites, Gayle shares what worked, what didn't, and why she still handpicks every title on the shelves — plus the biggest lessons (and mistakes) from year one. Plus, Gayle shares some great book recommendations. This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). CLICK HERE for the full episode Show Notes on the blog. Highlights Gayle shares what it was like to open the bookstore right before the holiday season. How the store's first year compared to their original projections and expectations. The now-dispelled fears Gayle had before opening. Why she's glad they curated every book in their inventory themselves, and why they still do all the book buying in-house. The course correction Wonderland had to make in their romance section. The biggest mistake they made before opening their doors. Which genres and titles have become customer favorites and which don't seem to sell well. How they plan and host book events — and why those events are such a key part of the store's community success. The books that taught them exactly how (and how not) to decide how many copies to order. The surprising punch poetry has packed with customers. Whether Gayle's own reading life has bounced back after the pre-opening stress and time crunch.

We learn exactly how to strengthen our pelvic floors. And finally, the book "Careless People" about the toxic environment at Facebook and the disgusting terror it creates for the rest of us.

Flocking herds, pearls and possums.  ‘Careless People' by Sarah Wynn-Williams and ‘Adolescence' on Netflix.  The silent majority, the vocal minority and the assumptions we make about people.  Thankfully, kindness and common sense invariably prevail.

This is a series where I take published memoir that you can find at any bookstore and run it through the perspectives and lenses and frameworks that I use with my writers to help you figure out what works in memoir and why it works or what doesn't work in memoir and why that might not work. Our first book, I'll be spending a couple episodes on this with you, is Careless People by Sarah Wynn Williams.

When things go wrong, it's easy to point fingers at the person closest to the problem. But is blaming "careless" people actually helping us prevent future mistakes, or just creating scapegoats? In this episode, we explore the dangers of blame culture in the workplace, the psychology behind human error, and how deeper system issues often get overlooked. Join us as we challenge the myth of the “bad apple” and uncover what really causes failures and how to fix them for good.

If you're someone who thinks social media is super evil and Facebook heavily influenced the 2016 election and now most of the world's leaders are in the pocket of Mark Zuckerburg… you need to take your tinfoil hat off and read the TRUTH. Because it will confirm all those things. Sarah Wynn-Williams is a lawyer and one of the early members of Facebook's global policy team and she's even more horrified about all that stuff than you are.  BRAND NEW SUMMER MERCH https://shop.celebritymemoirbookclub.biz/collections/all If you want to host a CMBC meetup here's a meetup 101 packet to help you plan!

This review of Careless People by Facebook/Meta whistleblower, Sarah Wynn-Williams, covers Chapters 43-48, plus the Epilogue. The book's final pages bring to life the devastating reality of how "careless people" at the helm of an unchecked platform can negatively impact the entire world, leaving civil unrest, hate crimes, acts of terrorism, and even a genocide, in its wake. Multiple horrors seem to unfold in Sarah's final months of employment. She describes a rushed an incomplete investigation into the ongoing sexual harassment from her boss, Joel Kaplan, that clears him of any wrongdoing, learning about targeted advertising strategies aimed at teens in distress, and the terror of watching bigotry and misinformation take hold in Myanmar while being unable to stop it.

Chapters 38-43 are covered in this review of the whistleblowing book by former Facebook/Meta insider, Sarah Wynn-Williams. As Sarah is preparing to leave the company, she tries in vain to get details of the ongoing harassment from her boss, Joel Kaplan, on record with the legal team. Instead, she ends up coerced to take over his work with China, a country she'd been known to avoid due to her personal disapproval with how it had been handled by Mark and the leadership team. Once brought up to speed, the extent of Facebook/Meta's proposals, deals, and compromises with the Chinese government leave her reeling.

The journey of former Facebook/Meta executive Sarah Wynn-Williams continues as we review highlights and takeaways from Chapters 33-37. As Sarah slowly makes her return to work after a complicated delivery with her second child, her manager, Joel, maintains his dual status as the least likeable person in the book and as a cautionary tale for any workplace. The outcome of the 2016 election displays the undeniable power of Facebook/Meta in swaying perceptions and opinions to once again uplift any political underdog, for the right price. Coming to grips with that influence and connection to Trump's win in 2016 is something Mark struggles with, until he realizes that unbridled power could also enable any aspirations of his own. A chilling segment that ends with the author feeling sure of her intent to leave the company as soon as possible. All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

This week, as Sam preps to go to Iceland, we've got some of our favorite books of the year so far, with Gatsby references all over the place, general indictments of people with more money than they need, and a call back to the Beat era. Here's what we've got on tap: - "Mansion Beach," by Meg Mitchell Moore, a retelling of Gatsby with a gender reversal and a good reminder that Fitzgerald, himself, was a bit of a "beach read" writer.  - "Atavists," by Lydia Millet, a story collection that works a bit like a multi-perspective novel and succeeds as both a realistic look at the suburbs and a send-up of modern life.  - "Careless People," by Sarah Wynn-Williams, which offers an inside look at some of the most ethically and morally bankrupt people the world has ever known: the creators of Facebook. - "The Silver Snarling Trumpet," by Robert Hunter, which is a must-read for anyone who likes Jerry Garcia or wants to harken back to a simpler time and get a glimpse of life before the hippies. 

A recap of Chapters 27-32. As the company formerly known as Facebook and now known as Meta gets bolder when dealing with world-wide government regulation, author Sarah Wynn-Williams recounts her efforts to caution executives about the repercussions of capitalizing on inflammatory campaign ads and misinformation. While pregnant with her second child, she's faced with new challenges that range from having one boss pressure her to share a bed as another emails her about a lewd sex act, all while she tries in vain to continue to "lean in". When more staff members are left to pay the price for negligent practices, she finally comes to the realization that she has to leave the company, but a traumatic birth in the developed country with the highest maternal mortality rate leaves her physically and mentally depleted. These chapters also recount Facebook's ill-fated attempts to implement internet.org, fly a drone, and partner with SpaceX to launch a satellite. BONUS: Learning about Emperor Augustus and Dirty Sanchez   All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

The recap of Chapters 19-26 covers Facebook's 2015 journey to Davos for the World Economic Forum (WEF) where author Sarah Wynn-Williams describes the various ways in which wealthy participants flexed their importance while lamenting the state of humanity. As she continues to get Mark opportunities to meet with world leaders and speak at United Nations events, she learns about a new desire for Facebook to ingratiate themselves into the campaign efforts of politicians around the globe. She describes Facebook's tax deferment practice, referred to as the "double Irish", and explains a major effort to recruit new users disguised as altruism, internet.org, and the valid concerns that led to it being rebranded as Free Basics. Throughout, she continues to share stories that enlighten us further about the kinds of people and motivations that built Meta, and her realization that any hope for them to make the world a better place was futile.

This week, our three hosts Dave Bittner, Joe Carrigan, and Maria Varmazis (also host of the T-Minus Space Daily show) are all back to share the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines.

Joe starts off sharing some stories about influencer fakery on fake private jet sets and a scam taking advantage of the RealID requirements coming into effect. Maria talks about "Scam Survivor Day" (it's a real thing). She also talks about a former Facebooker's tell-all "Careless People." Dave shares a story about fake Social Security statements.

“Careless People,” the recent memoir by Meta's former Global Public Policy Director, Sarah Wynn-Williams, has caused a furor. Not only did it share revelations that Meta prioritized growth and engagement over safety and democracy, but it also provided confirmation of

Jake and Katie review two recent releases entrenched in the tech world: Sky Daddy by Kate Folk and Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams. 

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Angela Parker, an assistant professor at the University of Denver and member of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Cree Tribes. Parker recently published a book on the history of the Three Affiliated Tribes—the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara—who live on the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. This land, situated along the Missouri River, became the site of the Garrison Dam, a project built by the US Army Corps of Engineers in the 1940s and 1950s that flooded parts of the reservation and forced roughly 90 percent of the Native population to relocate to higher ground. Parker discusses the cultural and ecological significance of the Missouri River to the Three Affiliated Tribes, the efforts of community members to resist the dam's construction, and the lasting negative impacts of the dam.

Check it out on our Patreon! -------- Friend of the show Josh Boerman returns to the show to talk about “CARELESS PEOPLE: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism” by former Meta staffer Sarah Wynn-Williams. We talk about the controversy surrounding the memoir, the pretense that nobody at Facebook knew what they had created, and how the platform's ambitions to become the entire internet was undermined by the its inability to create any other product, or understand what people wanted. We also talk about Zuckerberg's innate weirdness, which culminates in an awkward attempt to get President Xi to name his child, for some reason.  Check out The Worst of All Possible Worlds here! ------ PALESTINE  AID LINKS You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below.

Part Two of a thorough review of Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams picks up with Chapters 12-18. As the author begins to experience life working for Facebook as a new mother, the reality of how that milestone is viewed by her colleagues becomes apparent. More equally chilling and amusing insights about Sheryl and Mark are shared, including her experiences being included in Mark's luxurious travel, his private jet preferences, and the work, or lack thereof, that went into courting various governments. Awkward executive level dynamics and personalities continue to be revealed via Sarah's outsider's perspective as we witness her slowly becoming more jaded with each passing chapter. BONUS: a rant on Andrew Jackson Books/biographies about Andrew Jackson: Life of Andrew Jackson by James PartonThe Passions of Andrew Jackson by Andrew Burstein American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House by Jon MeachamFathers & Children: Andrew Jackson and the Subjugation of the American Indian by Michael Paul Rogin All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

The whistleblowing book written by former Facebook executive Sarah Wynn-Williams is as explosive and shocking as expected, maybe more so. The author reveals personal stories that shaped her world-view and explains her conviction and hope to use her life to affect positive change. That same hope led her to pursue a career at a social technology company she seemingly envisioned as a champion for humanity. From there, she takes us with her into executive level meetings, haphazard trips abroad, and interactions with various staff that each provide startling enlightenment into the inner workings of a company with access to sensitive information about people around the globe. Due to revelations within this book, U.S. Senators are currently looking into Facebook's alleged collusion with foreign governments. Regardless of its entertainment value, Sarah may have accomplished her goal of affecting positive change. BONUS: a side quest refresher of the promising middle-aged man, Brett KavanaughAll opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

When contracts hide misconduct, it's not policy—it's a cover-up. What do NDAs, forced arbitration, and emotionally manipulating teenagers have in common? Sadly, more than you'd hope. Kim, Jason and Amy rip the lid off the corporate culture of hush-hush harm, legal gymnastics and why emotional manipulation is a feature—not a bug—in some marketing strategies. They dig into the story behind Careless People by Sara Wynn-Williams, the book someone definitely doesn't want you to read, and expose how companies use contracts to silence the truth and protect power—not people. From creepy ad targeting to leaders who dodge accountability like it's dodgeball, the crew gets real about why “just business” is a lazy excuse for bad behavior. Kim even owns up to the time she played the NDA game—and why she'll never do it again. Because real leadership doesn't mean covering your ass—it means doing the damn right thing, even when it costs you. Get all of the show notes at RadicalCandor.com/podcast.

Justin and Kylie dive into two powerful reads—Mel Robbins' The Let Them Theory and Sarah Wynn-Williams’ explosive memoir Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism. While Kylie champions the liberating message of letting go of control, Justin offers a scathing but thoughtful critique of Facebook's inner workings, as revealed in Wynn-Williams' book. Together, they unpack how these ideas relate to parenting and the digital world our children are growing up in. KEY POINTS: The Let Them Theory emphasises personal boundaries and not needing to fix or control others. Careless People reveals shocking behind-the-scenes practices at Facebook, particularly how the platform targets emotionally vulnerable teenagers for advertising. The tech industry's influence extends to global politics, youth mental health, and everyday family life. Memoirs can be a powerful vehicle for truth, shedding light on corporate irresponsibility. Parents need to be alert to the digital environments their children inhabit. ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Talk to your children about how social media works—especially how it might exploit their emotions. Consider setting digital boundaries in your home, including times for device-free connection. Read Careless People to better understand the systems shaping your family’s digital life. Practice the “let them” mindset by releasing control over things that don’t require your intervention. Stay informed—knowledge is power when it comes to parenting in a digital world.

Chelsea is joined by two returning icons, Traci Thomas (The Stacks) and Becca Platsky (Corporate Gossip), to cover “Careless People,” the explosive memoir by ex-Facebook exec Sarah Wynn-Williams. Weak boy Mark Cuckerburg tried to silence this book with an NDA from Facebook's lawyers, and so it instantly became a best seller! Buckle up because this book is a Silicon Valley horror show meets a girlboss reckoning. Come for Sheryl Sandberg's lingerie-inspired “come to bed” stories, stay for Mark Cuckerberg learning to read, and run for your life when you face the Harvard karaoke-loving idiots who are breaking democracy. And somehow…  it all circles back to Henry Kissinger. Trigger warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including sexual assault, sexual harassment, and genocide.

(March 25, 2025)Chris Merrill fills in for Bill this week. KTLA & KFI tech reporter Rich DeMuro joins the show for ‘Tech Tuesday.' Today, Rich talks about why it's time to spring clean your PC, ______. The Trump administration's Signal fiasco has given Democrats an unexpected shot to go on offense, with a pair of hearings in the next two days. When social media company Meta sued to have a former employee's memoir pulled off the shelves, they thought it would stop people from reading the book. But it's done quite the opposite. "Careless People" is a memoir by Sarah Wynn-Williams, who worked at Facebook for seven years, becoming the director of global public policy. The book is highly critical of the organization and its leaders Mark Zuckerberg and then-CEO Sheryl Sandberg.

Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former Meta executive, is now barred from discussing her criticism of the company. But before Meta gained an injunction against their former employee, she spoke with NPR's Steve Inskeep about her new memoir Careless People. The book charts Wynn-Williams' path from onetime Facebook megafan to Meta critic – and characterizes Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg as "careless" leaders comfortable cooperating with authoritarian regimes. In today's episode, Wynn-Williams and Inskeep discuss Meta's negotiations with China over censorship tools, Zuckerberg's relationship to President Trump, and alleged misconduct by Wynn-Williams' former boss, Joel Kaplan.Editor's Note: Meta is a financial supporter of NPR.

Meta has called an emergency arbitration hearing over a tell-all memoir by Facebook's former Director of Global Public Policy. The author, Sarah Wynn Williams, has had to cancel all her book promotion…including coming on Offline this week. Jon and Max protest Sarah's gag order by delving into her book, Careless People, and platforming her allegations of sexual harassment, the company's role in Myanmar's genocide, and its supplicant relationship with the Chinese Communist Party. Then, the guys discuss whether humans have passed peak brain power, and why Sam Seder's appearance in a Jubilee video has everything Gavin Newsom's podcast is missing. 

Today, V and Sami dive into the Hallow App and its god-fearing celebrity endorsements. Then, they cover Trump's purchase of a Tesla and his parade of it on the White House lawn. And to top off our coverage of fascist men that failed upwards, Sami and V break down Sarah Wynn-Williams's Facebook memoir Careless People. And finally, Carlos Eduardo Espina stops by to speak to his experience covering immigration and parsing through the deluge of misinformation from the Trump administration.
