XIs Shared Future In Cyberspace: Building Trust, Rules & Resilience For a Safer Digital World. China Daily Pod 10 by Capital FM
Tozi, the anti-bullying and cyber-safety app developed by Vodafone Foundation, in collaboration with DCU Anti-Bullying Centre and the ISPCC, is marking Anti-Bullying Week (wc 10 November) with a new social media campaign: Supporting Young People in the Digital World. The campaign aims to empower young people to recognise, respond to, and rise above bullying and is launched as recent ESRI research shows that 62% of 13-year-olds reported experiencing at least one bullying behaviour in the past three months, while one in ten Tozi users have activated the app's SOS feature in the last year, connecting them directly to Childline via call or chat - demonstrating the importance of a trusted digital space and the need for quick, seamless access to support 24/7. At the heart of the campaign is a short video featuring two girls exploring Tozi's "Beat Bullying" module, sharing their thoughts on the app and how it helps them navigate online challenges with confidence. Tozi: In 2022, The Vodafone Ireland Foundation developed and launched Tozi, a free app to combat cyberbullying and promote online safety among children and young people. Since its launch, Tozi has had over 20,000 downloads, and is currently being rolled out across Europe following the Irish success. It offers a content library with advice on handling online challenges, a private journaling space with a feeling's tracker, and direct access to Childline through the SOS feature for 24/7 support. The ESRI research also found that 37% of 13-year-olds faced repeated incidents, with online bullying and name-calling among the most common forms, while children targeted at age nine were more likely to be bullied again at age thirteen, underlining the need for early intervention. Expert Perspective: The Irish Girl Guides have been a Vodafone Foundation partner since 2023, working to provide lessons on digital skills to older people through the Hi Digital initiative. The Irish Girl Guides work closely with young people across Ireland and see firsthand the challenges girls face online. Their experience underscores the urgent need for resources like Tozi, which aims to empower and protect young people in the digital world. Speaking on the growing issue of online bullying, Irish Girl Guides Tir na nÓg Leader and Programme and Training Commissioner, Róisín Mills, said: "As a Leader with the Irish Girl Guides, I worry about the impact social media is having on the girls in my Unit. I see them becoming more disengaged, and I've witnessed the effects of online bullying and the pressure to present a perfect image. That's why we run activities focused on body image, cyber-security, and smart surfing - giving our members the tools to stay safe and confident online. We're realistic about phone use and guide the girls to use technology in a positive, informed way. Creating a safe space for these conversations is vital, and I believe it's making a real difference." Tozi doesn't just teach users what bullying is - it shows them how to stand up, speak out, and support each other in the moments that matter most. Tozi is available for free download on the App Store and Google Play. Learn more at https://www.to-zi.com/ See more stories here.

The Spirit of Anti-Christ comes in many forms and guises. Rudolf Steiner described one specific aspect of this as the Spirit of Ahriman. The incarnation of the Spirit of Ahriman in some physical form marks a dark period for humanity. But what exactly is the form that this aspect of the Anti-Christ "Beast System" will take? An examination of Revelation Chapter 13 gives us some important clues, especially when cross-referenced to the topics discussed by Steiner.

What if the financial metrics you rely on to measure your company's success are actually steering you away from long-term customer loyalty and sustainable growth? In our latest episode of the Delighted Customers podcast, live from Harvard Business School, I dive into this burning question with Rob Markey, professor at Harvard and seasoned veteran at Bain. Rob challenges the conventional wisdom around company valuation, urging us to look beyond the income statement and balance sheet, and instead, consider the real engine driving revenue—our customers. The impact of this discussion is huge: by focusing on customer behavior and relationships, leaders can uncover hidden risks, make smarter trade-offs between short-term gains and long-term health, and build models for enduring shareholder value. If you think financials are telling you the whole story, this episode will make you think twice. Why should you listen to Rob Markey? Rob doesn't just teach at Harvard Business School—he's one of the world's foremost experts on customer value, business strategy, and the metrics that really matter for growth. As co-creator of the Net Promoter System, his practical frameworks have transformed how organizations like Bain & Company help clients create true customer-centricity. Rob's guidance blends academic rigor with real-world experience, making complex ideas actionable for any business leader looking to future-proof their organization. Here are three compelling questions Rob answers on the show: Why are traditional accounting metrics like revenue and profit reporting missing the bigger picture of customer value? How can C-suite leaders balance inevitable short-term pressures with decisions that build loyalty and drive long-term growth? What specific steps can leaders take to re-evaluate their customer base and transform the way they forecast and measure company success? Tune in now and subscribe for more thought-provoking episodes! Find the Delighted Customers podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or listen on any of your favorite podcast platforms. Make sure to leave a review to help spread the word to more customer-obsessed leaders. Meet Rob Markey Rob Markey is a professor at Harvard Business School and a globally recognized expert in customer strategy, business growth, and valuation. Before Harvard, Rob was a Senior Partner at Bain & Company, where he led Bain's global Customer Strategy & Marketing practice. He's best known as the co-creator of the Net Promoter System (NPS), which has revolutionized how businesses measure customer loyalty and advocate for customers at the heart of their growth strategy. Markey has consulted with hundreds of organizations worldwide, helping them shift from product-centric to customer-centric models. Rob's work bridges the gap between academic thought leadership and hands-on business advising. His Harvard course explores these crucial topics, training the next generation of leaders to see their customers—not just their financials—as the core asset of their business. Rob's mission is to help executives see—and manage—the trade-offs between short-term targets and the actions that secure long-term profitability and loyalty. His insights are published in leading journals and he is a sought-after speaker at global events.

Alex shares the journey of V1 Sports from its origins in pioneering video analysis to its current position as an innovator leveraging AI and ground force sensors. We dive deep into the pivotal "come-to-Jesus" moment that forced the company to re-evaluate its path, the cultural shift to a data-driven mindset, and how they are now using their new AI tool, "V1CTOR," to solve the biggest pain points for golf instructors - time and student engagement. This is a masterclass in business transformation, product-market fit, and building a platform that creates a true win-win-win for the company, the coach, and the golfer.

Christensen Quotable Moments from Alex: On Challenging Assumptions: "Intuition can tell you where to look, but the data is going to validate or invalidate that's the right place to press." On Understanding Customer Needs: "What you learn is, customers can tell you their pain points, they can tell you their aspirations, but what they can't tell you is the solution... It's not their job.

Today, we're talking about such a pressing consideration for anyone raising a kid these days — what it means for today's generation of kids to grow up with very public lives and coming of age in a digital world where so many aspects of their lives are online and available for public consumption, not to mention that much of their important work of identity formation is being shaped by the media and technology they interact with. My guest, Devorah Heitner, gets into all of this in her brand new and essential book for any parent, Growing Up in Public: Coming of Age in a Digital World. For this conversation, I asked Devorah to talk us through what I see as some of the more pressing issues for parents like us, including how to balance a child's right to privacy in their texts and online lives with valid concerns about online influences and engagement when that child is dealing with anxiety, depression or other mental health disorder, the impact of social media on kids who may already be struggling to fit in and find their people, and how many homework and grading apps used by schools may actually be undermining our kids development of executive function skills and creating additional stress for parents. Things you'll learn How to navigate the transition from being highly involved in a children's tech life to respecting their privacy Why violating our kids' trust by reading their texts will drive them further apart from us What to track or monitor when your child is dealing with anxiety, depression, or other mental health disorders How engaging in social media may impact kids who are struggling to fit in and find their people Why social media can act as an intensifier for whatever kids are experiencing and how it causes a dip in self-esteem What sharenting is and how to navigate permissions, cleaning up past shares, and more Why apps like ClassDojo are particularly challenging for families with differently-wired students How grading apps often work against differently wired students Learn more about your ad choices.

Clayton Cranford joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they discuss how children need trusted adults who explicitly tell them that if something goes wrong online, it's going to be okay—because what predators exploit most is a child's fear of reaching out for help. Clayton Cranford Clayton Cranford is a former Orange County Sheriff's Department Sergeant, school resource officer, and juvenile investigator with specialized expertise in behavioral threat assessment and online safety. He is the founder of Cyber Safety Cop, a program dedicated to educating parents, schools, and communities about how digital platforms can expose children to exploitation, grooming, and trafficking risks. With over 20 years in law enforcement and years working directly with youth and families, Cranford has trained tens of thousands of parents and educators nationwide on digital parenting strategies, social media risks, and emerging threats such as sextortion, encrypted apps, and AI-generated content. He is the author of Parenting in a Digital World and a recognized speaker at major school safety and cybersecurity conferences. His work aligns closely with prevention-first strategies and community collaboration, making him a valuable voice in the intersection of technology, youth safety, and anti-trafficking efforts. Key Points Boys are disproportionately targeted for financial sextortion schemes where predators impersonate young girls, quickly establish relationships through unsolicited images, and then extort victims for thousands of dollars, sometimes leading to tragic outcomes within hours. Online predators use sophisticated grooming tactics on girls over weeks and months, often employing multiple fake personas to build trust before exploiting victims through threats of exposing images to friends and family, creating a cycle of exploitation that can last for years. Parents must explicitly tell their children that no matter how embarrassed they are or how serious the situation seems, nothing will stop their love and support—because what children know intellectually about online safety often doesn't align with their emotional responses in the moment. AI companion apps have become widely adopted by teens, with nearly three-quarters having tried them and half using them regularly, yet these apps lack regulation, age verification, and safeguards against encouraging self-harm or creating unhealthy parasocial relationships. School resource officers serve as crucial intervention points not for enforcement but for building trusted relationships where students feel comfortable reporting concerns about peers or seeking help before situations escalate to emergencies. The rapid adoption of smartphones from less than 20% to over 80% of teens in just three years created a gap where parents handed their children powerful devices without understanding the risks of platforms like Snapchat and Discord that facilitate anonymous contact and exploitation. Prevention requires parents to understand how apps work, implement age-appropriate monitoring tools, ensure notification requirements for app downloads, and have concrete plans with their children about who to contact if something goes wrong online. Legislative action is urgently needed to require age verification, transparency about AI safeguards, and regulation of technologies being rapidly deployed to children without adequate study of downstream mental health and safety impacts. Resources Cyber Safety Cop website and resources Transcript [00:00:00] Clayton Cranford: parents had no idea what they were, what they were kind of getting themselves into when they handed their kid a phone. [00:00:06] Sandie Morgan: She calls her tattoo sleeves armor, covering years of scars from predators who convinced her they were her friends, when what she really needed was one trusted adult. And that's what your kids need too. Someone who says explicitly, if this happens, it's going to be okay.

Jeremy Horne believes it's time to turn technology into a bridge, not a barrier, to help families reconnect through the power of storytelling.Jeremy is the founder and CEO of Winny, part of the Human Connection Company.
