In this episode, Jeannette talks to Michael Goldstrom who is the founder and CEO of GetMotivatedBuddies. He explains how his battle with ADHD and what he learned while working as an actor, narrator, and voice artist combined to inspire him to set up a new style of support network. One that is based on behavioural psychology and has already helped nearly 15,000 people to achieve difficult goals that many had failed to achieve previously. Michael explains how acting taught him to look at and understand the motivation of the characters he played. A skill he was then able to use on himself to identify what was holding him back. He and Jennette discuss the methods he then employed to break bad habits and finally move forwards. If you have difficult goals that you are struggling to achieve this podcast will be helpful. KEY TAKEAWAYS We can all develop into the person we want to be. Explore ways of managing your life to find what works for you. Most people suffer from information overload. The way social media algorithms work is leading to people living a life that does not align with their core beliefs. Michael explains why that is in the podcast. Not being able to filter out things so you can focus on what is important leads to information overload and physical issues. As you progress towards your goals evaluate how you are feeling as well as how you are progressing. Having buddies to support you through change greatly improves your chances of succeeding in forming a new positive habit. View yourself holistically, often improving one thing will have a positive impact on multiple areas of your life. GetMotivatedBuddies is aligning people who want to help people, with those who are actively seeking that kind of support. The platform does much more than just provide accountability partners. It also challenges you and does so in a positive way. BEST MOMENTS ‘There are three steps – human belief, direction (a goal), and steps that take you there.' ‘The misalignment of our daily actions with our beliefs is precisely why people are lonelier.' ‘It´s very important to have a system in place to evaluate where we are at in life and check how we´re feeling.' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

On October 7th, Tech Policy Press hosted a mini-conference, Reconciling Social Media and Democracy. While various solutions to problems at the intersection of social media and democracy are under consideration, from regulation to antitrust action, some experts are enthusiastic about the opportunity to create a new social media ecosystem that relies less on centrally managed platforms like Facebook and more on decentralized, interoperable services and components. This fifth features Dr. Ramesh Srinivasan, Professor in the UCLA Department of Information Studies, and Director of UC Digital Cultures Lab, who with Dipayan Ghosh was the author of the article Reining in Big Tech in the Journal of Democracy series on the future of platform power that served as the basis for some of the discussion at the event. At the end of the session, you will hear Dr. Nathalie Maréchal and Richard Reisman, two participants in the first session of the day, offer thoughts in reply, along with Bryan Jones, who is chairman and cofounder of Tech Policy Press.

Online hate speech has gone way up since the police killing of George Floyd in May. Hate speech in the form of inflammatory posts has increased by nearly 40% around the country. And while Facebook continues to advocate a relatively hands-off approach to speech, Twitter this week took down thousands of accounts related to the conspiracy group QAnon, saying it will take action on accounts that could “lead to offline harm.” Molly Wood speaks with Dipayan Ghosh, co-director of the Digital Platforms & Democracy Project at Harvard. He says this is all still moving way too slowly.

Dipayan Ghosh’s new book, Terms of Disservice: How Silicon Valley is Destructive by Design calls for a Digital Bill of Rights, anti-trust action on Big Tech and new rules to ensure the tech titans have American democracy in mind. But in this interview, he surprised us! He says YES to Google digitizing NYC with Governor Cuomo, YES to Big Tech running coronavirus Track and Trace if done carefully... and he goes deep with us on privacy, consumer rights, and using tech in a crisis.

Welcome to episode 127 of the EdTech Situation Room from March 7, 2019, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) discussed Google's new Chromebook App Hub website, OpenAI's decision to NOT share a new AI text generator, and Microsoft's forthcoming "Windows Lite" operating system. Dipayan Ghosh & Ben Scott's advocacy to promote intelligent regulation of Facebook and other Silicon Valley companies enabling "precision propaganda" was also highlighted, along with ways outrage over common threats can hijack parents' common sense. Facebook's declining US user base, Facebook's announcement to emphasize point-to-point "ephemeral" messaging, and SpaceX's recent success launching its Dragon crew module were also discussed. The future of "the technology correction" and our prospects for changing the "Surveillance Capitalism" model of many Silicon Valley companies, implications of the Huawei CFO extradition controversy, and the importance of media literacy in our age of fake news were additional topics. Updates to the PocketCasts app for Android, the addictive math-focused multiplayer app Prodigy, the gloomy prospects for BotNet death in the near future, the importance of unlimited data plans in the forthcoming 5G data environment, and the importance of carefully using "freemium" software platforms at school rounded out the show. Geeks of the week included an 18,000 mAh battery powered Android phone from Energizer, a fantastic video from Linda Yollis (@lindayollis) on improving student blogging quality, and Wes' planned ATLIS 2019 bootcamp workshop "Filtering the ExoFlood".

In 2017, reports of hate crimes in the United States increased for the third consecutive year, according to the FBI. In addition to physical acts, such actions and other messages of racism, intolerance and extremism potentially impact large numbers of people online. In this Forum, experts tackled the painful and distressing spread of hate and racism. What social, political and psychological forces drive prejudice? How do modern media and the Internet enable and amplify hateful and racist messages? What are the impacts on the health and cohesion of society — and what can be done? This Forum event was presented jointly with PRI's The World & WGBH on February 13, 2019. Watch the entire series: https://theforum.sph.harvard.edu/

New America fellow Dipayan Ghosh and senior advisor Ben Scott talk with Recode’s Kara Swisher about their new policy paper, “Digital Deceit: The Technologies Behind Precision Propaganda on the Internet.” Both alumni of the Obama administration, Ghosh and Scott say we need to fundamentally reevaluate how digital platforms collect data on their users, and how advertisers can use that information. Although they acknowledge that figuring out how Russia meddled in the 2016 U.S. election is important, they argue that there are much deeper questions that need to be answered, and possibly problems that need to be regulated. They also discuss what responsibility they and others who worked for the Obama White House have for the rise of tech companies to their current level of power over the past decade.

Dipayan Ghosh has had a pretty interesting privacy career already, and he's not yet 30 years old. He worked under the Obama administration in the Office of Science and Technology Policy as an advisor. He later went to Facebook, and now he's earned himself a fellowship at New America, a DC-based think tank, as part of its recently launched public interest technology team. In this episode of The Privacy Advisor Podcast, Ghosh talks about the ways in which his time at the White House helped him understand what kind of leaders are really able to push smart public policy.
