Podcast appearances and mentions of jonathan macdonald

EP 383 - Jonathan MacDonald is back on the show and keener than ever to get you interested in Ethical Tech.We discuss why now, more than ever, people need to be given the tools, and moral frameworks to inform their interactions with increasingly opaque technology. How things like social media are seemingly set up to keep us amused, distracted and rob us of our critical thinking faculties and what that means for humanity in the long term.Jonathan isn't an anarchist in a tin foil hat (or a cryptoevangelist in a blonde wig come to that) but he is very compelling on why we need to question whether Big Tech algorithms and the people who control them actually have our best interests at heart.He's pretty convinced that they don't, or at least don't care about us beyond what we can do for them. Which is why he has set up SELF - a personal privacy filter - and also ETHICS TV to help people discuss, understand and control their own moral choices around tech.We also chat about the Roman Empire and its attitude to analogous situations. We know plenty of you like to think about that kind of thing quite a lot.*For Apple Podcast chapters, access them from the menu in the bottom right corner of your player*Spotify Video Chapters:00:00 BWB with Jonathan MacDonald02:23 Meet Jonathan03:18 The Mission: Alternative Future for Technology04:44 Humans Are Batteries05:05 The Reality of Free Services05:58 The Normalisation of Surveillance06:29 The Impact of Social Media on Society07:33 The Coercion of Media and Politics08:37 The Evolution of SELF: Personal Privacy Filter09:50 The Demand for Privacy in AI Tools10:50 The Future of Privacy: Self-Sovereign Mechanisms11:47 The Physicality of Data Privacy12:37 The Ineffectiveness of GDPR13:09 The Dark Side of Data Exploitation14:53 The Post-COVID Awareness Shift34:02 Ethics in Technology37:28 The Problem with Modern Democracy39:18 The Importance of Critical Thinking39:58 The Role of Media in Critical Thinking42:30 Education and Critical Thinking46:15 Ethical Issues in AI and Media46:41 The Dystopian Future of AI53:37 Building Ethical Technology01:04:36 Personal Reflections and Advice01:11:08 Quickfire - Get To Know Jonathanbusinesswithoutbullshit.meWatch and subscribe to us on YouTubeFollow us:InstagramTikTokLinkedinTwitterFacebookIf you'd like to be on the show, get in contact - mail@businesswithoutbullshit.meBWB is powered by Oury Clark

One World in a New World with Jonathan Macdonald - Adoptee, Advocate, Co Founder, Podcast Host Jonathan Macdonald is a fascinating person with a unique perspective on the world. It's interesting to hear about his experiences as an adoptee and how that has influenced his sense of identity. His openness about his challenges with autism and dyslexia and his use of neuroplasticity to overcome them is inspiring. It's also thought-provoking to consider the role of perception and observation in shaping our reality, especially when it comes to issues like racism. Overall, it sounds like a deep and engaging conversation that offers many insights on how we can live more joyfully and authentically. The conversational style is a bit different, taking frequent tangential journeys. Humble and self-effacing, this apocalptic chat is full of considerations and polite push backs. You might notice a few things in both that are 'in the spectrum' Neither are too concerned about 'fitting in.' Jonathan tosses back a question, 'Why would you question your extensive perception as being different from others?' 'How would you know?' Curiosity is tantamount and we tend to lose it as we mature. Why? Was Darwin right or is it more the survival of what fits best for the harmony of all? Quite astutely, Jonathan profers that any decision, whether one believes in the 'multiverse' or not, gives at least two binary options. He offers an interesting description of how his mind works, like an explosion of multiverses at times. Neurodiversity at work. One of those spins off into his childhood growing up in a white family and being of color in a largely caucasian community. Jonathan goes quite into depth about observations and perceptions and their effect on our reality. He offers an apocalyptic moment or two during the process as well, especially about racism. The rounds of tangential conversations always come back full circle to the nature of who we are and the agency we have with our choices. Air drumming at a dance in his youth wouldn't be so welcomed as an adult in a similar environment, for instance. Why? Later on Jonathan shares about the challenges he's faced. They are incredible. HIs ability to speak about them, imperturbably, is another testament to the curiosity and personal exploration of self that evolved. Listening in will surely shift your perspective about living life joyfully. Neuroplasticity and the discipline of recovery works magic as you'll hear. Authentic and vulnerable in his sharing of how he operates in quite different ways than most, he reflects in ways that takes the conversation even deeper in the reveal of how we feel and think. It's like not knowing what we don't know and finding out there is so much to learn yet. The tangents are significant, yet they all make sense as we expand the considerations.

Jonathan Macdonald is my wonderful Guest today on this podcast show!!!He is the Chief Executive Officer at Potency-world, and also the co-founder of social me too. Jonathan started in sales for Yellow Pages in 1994.  He suffered motorcycle injury in 1996, and tried to continue in sales using early laptop adoption for sales. He has worked in several corporate roles in sales and coaching.Here's what he says:"Only recently have I understood. I am a disrupter, with my dyslexic brain I see any issue multi-perspectively, so a wall to you, is Swiss Cheese to me :)

This week I'm on a mission with Jonathan MacDonald, an award-winning, bestselling author and one of the most in-demand keynote speakers in the world on the topics of change, digital transformation, mindset, innovation, strategy and the future. In what turned out to be one of my favourite episodes we talk about Jonathan's incredible success as a speaker, and the ways in which he engages with his audiences around the world, how productive paranoia can help us to overcome the challenges of tomorrow, and how the power of mind over body can create meaningful impact. A phenomenal episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS The art of presenting and public speaking remotely is one that many are embracing. it requires a whole new skill-set, but there are some advantages to appearing live on stage. We should never be dismissive of those who are trying to help us. We must encourage those who wish to make positive change in the world. It is essential that we look to the future often, and try to ascertain the advancements of tomorrow, so as to best plan for the ever-changing world. Our bodies can not tell the difference between something that has actually happened to us and something we believe has happened to us. Therefore, if we believe we are ill, our bodies will react accordingly, and if we use thought for healing, our bodies will experience this. BEST MOMENTS 'I'm a fan of looking at what could disrupt you before it disrupts you' 'Productive paranoia is thinking "What could be the disruptive force for what I do?' 'When the winds of change are blowing some build a wall and others build a windmill' 'Our body organises itself around our thoughts' VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission   Jonathan MacDonald - https://jonathanmacdonald.com  ABOUT THE HOST The On A Mission Podcast brings you Ellie Mckay's no holds barred chats with some of the UK's top business leaders, entrepreneurs, celebrities, athletes, top thought leaders, influencers and mindset experts.

How often do you feel that the world needs to be changed, or some system needs adjustments and improvements? Quite often, right? How often do you plan to change it yourself?

The October Tribe gathering is on the 14. World famous thinker and advisor to the biggest companies in the world Jonathan MacDonald is our special guest

Welcome to the English first episode after a little summer break – my guest today is Jonathan MacDonald, an absolute change expert, bestselling author, strategist and speaker. He already published a set books and we also talk about his latest one „Powered By Change“ and its fundamental idea. In this episode, Jonathan talks about his journey in life and how it made him who he is today. He calls his present self a “product of his past”, which was embossed by some tough challenges like being bullied in school. Along his career, Jonathan tried out a lot of different things – always with the help of never feeling fear. We also talk about his thoughts on comparing himself to other people and that it is a dangerous concept. Jonathan shares that he only compares himself to whom he was the day before. You’ll hear his definition of success which changed throughout the years and is now rather the ability to feel peaceful than status and wealth. He tells us how “letting go” defines the hardest decisions he made in his life. From leaving his marriage and deliberating about the consequences for his two children to leaving his ex-business partner. In this interview, Jonathan shares his thoughts on dealing with failure and seeing it as a learning process. Get ready for his interesting perspectives on doubt and mental fitness and enjoy this talk. :-)

“If I’m able to think, i’m able to survive” I’m excited about this episode with my good friend, author, speaker and thought leader Jonathan MacDonald. We’ve spent hours talking about good ideas vs great ones, consciousness, relationships, being our best selves, vulnerability and finding meaning in the hits. I’ve been wanting Jonathan on the podcast for AGES and we’ve finally got a great conversation covering so many topics including: Our own responsibility in cycles of abuse - why we just keep going back to learn the same thing Jonathan’s love of data to track change The benefits of therapy - having a mirror held up to our insides The long term impact of early experiences including being fostered, adopted, bullying and racism Finding a strange comfort in mental abuse after physical abuse Cycles of abuse and recognising our own patterns How can we prevent repeat cycles of abuse? The benefits of practicing vulnerability Showing up, insecurities and all Despair and the choices we have in how we respond How the dark times teach us what truly matters Manifestation - how it works and how we use it This is a deep and insightful conversation that I’m thrilled to share so you can kick off your week and get real with yourself!
