Welcome back to another powerful episode of Warriors Unmasked. If you're seeking an inspiring figure in mental health and empowerment, meet Craig Ball, an Australian mentor with a rich history of transforming lives. With over two decades of experience, Craig's unique approach combines traditional and holistic techniques to help individuals realize their utmost potential. His belief? Every individual has the inherent ability to bolster their mental health and create their life's narrative. Craig isn't just an advocate; he's a testament to his methods. His experiences from being deployed to Afghanistan twice with the regular army put his theories to the test, and his triumphs over personal mental health challenges speak volumes. Alongside mentoring, he's a seasoned speaker, and his book, "Reclaim Your Power," offers a pragmatic look into his system. The "Warriors Unmasked" podcast recently hosted Craig, delving into his background, journey in the mental health sector, and his experiences as an Army reservist. He shared about his introduction to Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), which now forms a cornerstone of his work. The discussion underscored the importance of therapy as a testament to strength and also an insightful dialogue about the stigma around mental health in sports. When Craig faced a dire financial crisis, he chose to pen a book, both a personal testament and a guide to resilience. Written as a conversation, Craig's narrative demystifies mental health complexities. He stresses the importance of remaining open to change and understanding cognitive distortions like overgeneralization, where one's self-worth is wrongly tied to success or failure. Craig's central message: true resilience isn't just recovery, but thriving through adversity. He encourages recognizing emotions, leading to healing and empowerment.

In this weeks Craig Ball concluding episode the big fella says "PTSD is not an end state…Talk, Reach Out, Connect, Follow up"Craig has always found himself counselling others  in one way or another and enrolled in a counselling coarse  soon after High School.  On considering “getting out” he put together his counselling experience,  speaking engagements combined with earlier teachings of rational emotive behaviour therapy.  He also ran resilience training which was taken up by a campaign for Rail safety Week.  It was a resounding success.  Returning to Mens Mental Health Craig talks about the challenges personally of mentoring a suicide prevention group and building a Facebook community.  EBT, (Emotional Behaviour Therapy) , CBT ( Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), Craig is a big advocate of bite sized chunks that anyone struggling can use straight away.First point is to make people feel safe and ok.  Some of the existing PTSD support areas and charities are based on financial models instead of early intervention with behaviour modification therapies.  This can leave suffers feeling the care is not there.   That's simply not true.   Move on to one of the 5000 independents out there in Australia till one resonates with you.   He is passionate about that and generous in his information development and delivery model.   His emphasis is on strength to grow through to a goal on the horizon, develop coping mechanisms, patience for bad days, flexibility in goal approach.   His new course camps on “You Are Enough” and how you feel right now is not the end game.  Reach out sooner and often to a safe place (it doesn't have to be military), hookup to defence force groups and check out the VA.   Most of all… follow up on yourself!Contact -  Craig BallFacebook - Craig Ball - Mens Mental Health SpeakerWebsite: www.changeseminars.com Programs -  Change seminars Help Lines Open Arms (VVCS) | Lifeline | RedSix app"RESPECT, NO POLITICS, WE'RE VOLUNTEERS"Disclaimer: The accounts and stories are "Real lived experiences" of our guests some of the content may trigger Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) symptoms in some of our audience.

Fabulous Noosa is our outdoor destination to meet with Craig Ball ex-Commando and Signaler, now Mental Health Speaker and facilitator of  a Mens Health Transformation page.  In his mid twenties and working in hospitality as a Bartender at Kings Cross, Craig is considered a late starter to a military career signing up at 26 for the reserves at first.   His sense of adventure was spiked by the hard hitting stories of his ex-Vietnam veteran bar colleagues and rubbing shoulders with retired CIA,  amongst other colourful characters.   Two colleagues in particular,  best mates in One Commando Regiment, shared their stories of crazy adventure,  hard physical endurance and  larrikinism in  their missions.   It contrasted greatly with the drunks of Craig's normal indoor tame working environment.  We touched on  his early experience of High School bullying, and the strategies he used for freedom and peace in spite of his stressors by becoming an excellent skateboarder.After joining the reservists at Sydney University Regiment for Officer training the challenge of hard physical military endurance combined with extreme adventure led Craig to signing up with One Commando Regiment in 2000.  Craig considers mastering the selection process difficult while dealing with personal issues but also acknowledges ”Flia” an  inspirational  high functioning Veteran that had an impact on his life.    He  was taught the  difference between set backs vs failure,  initiative and opportunity no matter how small in military context which he now uses on a personal level to uplift others.Passing selection and waiting for his Green Beret ceremony,  one night Craig was approached by an entrepreneur to become a professional speaker.  Out of that grew his passion today helping people deal with the hardest of life experiences, workplace challenges and projects by managing their psychology .   But more of that subject-in Part2. Back to selection.    After 18 months at “School of signals” he went straight to the unit in 2008 then onto Alpha Company 2009 to train up for deployment to Afghanistan the following year.   An introduction to some scary things he found it a crazy build up and soon found himself in a CQB (close quarter battle), an acutely difficult event, the first exposure tending  to be raw panic.  In part 2 we explore Craig's deployment in 2009 in more detail including the re-emergence of bullying in a war zone, the loss of Mason Edwards in a training incident and his experience of that difficult space of holding on  day by day in a war zone, despite the mental toll.  Contact -  Craig BallEmail - info@changeseminars.comWebsite: www.changeseminars.comPrograms -  Change seminarsWho is it for?

Our dependence on our mobile devices means they are significant forms of evidence that need to be preserved in case of a lawsuit. In this episode of the State Bar of Texas Podcast from the State Bar of Texas Annual Meeting, host Rocky Dhir talks to Craig Ball about the importance of evidence preservation for tablets and smart phones. They discuss the kinds of evidence these and similar devices can provide and the best methods of obtaining this data. Craig Ball is a Texas lawyer living in New Orleans and a longtime adjunct professor teaching Digital Evidence at the University of Texas School of Law.

When reading the preservation letter in which President Trump’s lawyer addressed the publication of Fire and Fury, Craig Ball noticed that the writing was very familiar. In fact, the last six pages of the letter were taken straight from Craig’s article “The Sincerest Form of Flattery,” grammar quirks and all. In this episode of Digital Detectives, hosts Sharon Nelson and John Simek talk to Craig Ball about what it’s like to have the lawyers of the President of the U.S. use your words in one of his preservation letters and why this was perhaps the wrong move for President Trump’s lawyers. They also discuss what preservation letters accomplish, how to draft a solid letter, and how to respond when you’re on the receiving end of a preservation letter. Craig Ball is a longtime adjunct professor teaching digital evidence at the University of Texas School of Law and he writes and speaks around the world on e-discovery and computer forensics.

Recently, prosecutors involved in a 2015 Arkansas murder case have included Amazon’s Echo as technology-based evidence.The Echo is a hands-free speaker you control with your voice, connecting to the Alexa Voice Service to play music, provide information, news, sports scores, weather, and more. In this investigation, law enforcement discovered that the Amazon Echo could host important recordings and clues that are relevant to the murder case. On Lawyer 2 Lawyer, hosts J. Craig Williams and Bob Ambrogi join Andrew Rossow, cyberspace and technology attorney, and Craig Ball, a trial attorney and expert in digital forensics, as they take a look at the legalities surrounding Amazon’s Echo, technology-based evidence, and the impact on future cases.

Craig Ball likes to say he got into law to stay out of prison. The Austin, Texas-based attorney, professor and electronic evidence expert has always been passionate about technology—somewhat too passionate at times. When he was a teenager, he created a device that allowed him and his friends to make long-distance calls for free. He got in trouble with the law. But luckily for him, the prosecutor and judge didn’t think his crime was all that serious. “The lawyer who helped me out hired me as a law clerk, and that put me on the path to becoming a lawyer,” says Ball, who earned his JD from the University of Texas School of Law in 1982, after which he opened his own law firm. The advent of the personal computer and the internet reignited Ball’s interest in technology. He became fascinated with computer forensics and the nascent field of electronic discovery—areas that still flummox many lawyers and judges today.

In this episode of the Digital Detectives, board certified trial lawyer Craig Ball talks with Sharon Nelson and John Simek about information technology competency and the 2016 Georgetown Ediscovery Training Academy. Craig explains that the bootcamp is six days of extensive work and requires a great deal of effort on the part of the attendees for weeks before they arrive. He asserts that the program’s hour long written assessment exam, three full days of technical training, rigorous reading requirements, and week-long “meet and confer” exercise are a few of the things that differentiate this curriculum from other continuing legal education courses. Craig also shares that the goal of the program is to establish a certain level of competency and fluency in e-discovery and digital evidence and to help cultivate a passion in individuals interested in these fields. He continues by stating that lawyers graduate lacking the basic skills that are necessary to teach themselves what they need to know about information technology and this is why programs like this are so important. Craig analyzes the legal education system, the expectation of apprenticeship, and how many of the most seasoned lawyers know little or nothing about electronically stored information. He closes the interview with a discussion of where the legal profession will be in 10 years regarding tech competency and a reflection on his career today. Craig Ball is a board certified trial lawyer, certified computer forensic examiner, law professor, and electronic evidence expert, who limits his practice to serving as a court-appointed special master and consultant in computer forensics and electronic discovery. He has served as the special master or testifying expert in computer forensics and electronic discovery in some of the most challenging and celebrated cases in the U.S. Special thanks to our sponsor, PInow.

Forty nine cents of each dollar spent on electronic discovery is wasted as a result of lawyers not understanding how to properly scope a preservation effort or use forms of production and collection that are both defensible and reasonable. How do lawyers stay abreast with new technology that might become a possible source of evidence and where do they get that information? Why do solo lawyers and small firms need to know about electronic discovery? In this episode of The Florida Bar Podcast host, Adriana Linares chats with Computer Forensic Examiner Craig Ball about electronic evidence, e-discovery, and how important it is for litigators to understand this data acquisition process. Craig explains why small firms and solo lawyers should be interested in e-discovery, if they want access to electronic evidence, and why printing physical copies of documents for storage is no longer practical. He also talks about the denial that many lawyers have regarding their need to understand and use new tech and provides resources online where lawyers can go to become more informed about e-discovery. Craig discusses why law firms should insist upon certain electronic competencies from their lawyers, like understanding the appropriate means by which to do reasonable searches of electronically stored information, and why he thinks the bar associations have not done enough to stress the importance of such knowledge. He then closes the interview with an analysis of emerging tools designed specifically to assist small firms and solo practitioners with e-discovery and provides specific software options that can help lawyers with the collection and preservation of evidence. Craig Ball is a trial lawyer and computer forensic examiner who focuses his practice on serving as court-appointed special master and consultant in computer forensics and electronic discovery. He is a founder of the Georgetown University Law Center E-Discovery Training Academy and serves on the academy's faculty. Craig received his J.D. from, and teaches Electronic Discovery and Digital Evidence at, the University of Texas School of Law.

It’s easy to get caught up in the fast-paced transition to paperless E-discovery review. Firms are now converting evidence into TIFF files. What’s a TIFF file? It’s just an easy way to manage and send large amounts of evidence, right? Wrong. On this episode of Digital Detectives, guest Craig Ball explains that a TIFF image turns the evidence into a small, non-searchable image. “They are not offering you the evidence in anything like the form in which they created and used the evidence.” Ball explained in a recent article, “ Instead, they propose to print everything to a kind of electronic paper, turning searchable, metadata-rich evidence into non-searchable pictures of much (but not all) of the source document.” Ball is a certified computer forensic examiner, a court special master, and author of the Law Technology News Column and blog both titled Ball in Your Court. After years of experience practicing law and winning clients’ cases using technology in the courtroom, he is now a consultant to help courts and lawyers grapple with electronic evidence. On this episode of Digital Detectives, co-hosts Sharon D. Nelson, Esq. and John W. Simek invite Ball to discuss why you should be wary of TIFF files and all the reasons to go native in your E-Discovery file review.
