In einigen Organisationen fehlt der Scrum Master – und oft übernimmt dann einfach die Product Ownerin oder der Product Owner diese Rolle gleich mit. Eine Doppelrolle, die auf den ersten Blick pragmatisch wirkt, aber in der Praxis große Risiken birgt. In dieser Folge sprechen Tim und Oliver offen darüber, was passiert, wenn die Verantwortung für Produkt und Team-Entwicklung in einer Person vereint ist – und warum das langfristig fast nie gut ausgeht. Viele Teams arbeiten ohne Scrum Master, weil die Rolle im Unternehmen noch nicht etabliert ist, keine passende Person gefunden wurde oder weil das Budget gekürzt wurde. Und es werden gefühlt immer mehr. Was dann oft folgt: Die Product Ownerin übernimmt einfach mit – lädt zu Events ein, moderiert Retrospektiven, erklärt Prozesse, arbeitet an der Team-Motivation. Klingt erstmal lösungsorientiert. Aber genau darin liegt das Problem. Eine funktionierende Produktentwicklung - vor allen in Scrum - lebt davon, dass Rollen klar getrennt sind. Die PO-Rolle fokussiert auf Wert, Wirkung, Nutzer:innen und Geschäftserfolg. Die Scrum Master-Verantwortlichkeit hingegen kümmert sich um Rahmenbedingungen, Prozessqualität und die Lern-Entwicklung des Teams. Wer beides gleichzeitig macht, verliert Fokus. Statt Marktchancen zu analysieren, steckt man in Moderation fest. Statt Stakeholder zu führen, erklärt man zum dritten Mal das Framework Scrum. Und am Ende leidet beides: das Produkt und das Team. Noch kritischer wird es, wenn in der Doppelrolle Interessenkonflikte auftreten. Wie soll eine Person gleichzeitig Coach sein und gleichzeitig Druck machen, weil ein Release ansteht? Wie kann man Konflikte moderieren, in denen man selbst Partei ist? Und wie wirkt das auf ein Team, das sich ohnehin fragt, ob es wirklich mitgestalten darf – oder doch nur Vorgaben bekommt? Gerade dort, wo Teams anfangen, echte Ownership zu übernehmen, blockiert die Doppelrolle oft ungewollt genau diesen Prozess. Das größte Risiko: Man gewöhnt sich daran. Alle tun so, als wäre das normal. Die Organisation spart sich eine Rolle, das Team freut sich über weniger Abstimmung, und die PO reibt sich auf. Diese Form der organisatorischen Schuld muss sichtbar gemacht werden. Es braucht Transparenz – und klare Absprachen, wie lange diese Übergangslösung trägt. Wer die Doppelrolle stillschweigend hinnimmt, macht es der Organisation zu leicht, nichts zu verändern. Die Folge zeigt, wie man trotz der Doppelrolle handlungsfähig bleibt – zumindest vorübergehend. Klare Rollensignale helfen. Externe Moderation entlastet. Reflektion im Team schafft Verständnis. Und vor allem: Man muss reden – mit dem Team, mit Vorgesetzten, mit anderen POs. Denn aus der Überforderung heraus entsteht keine gute Produktentwicklung. Wenn du selbst in der Doppelrolle steckst oder jemanden kennst, der dort gerade kämpft: Diese Folge hilft, die Situation klarer zu sehen – und erste Schritte raus aus dem Dilemma zu finden. Damit Verantwortung wieder dort landen kann, wo sie hingehört.

Seit Jahrzehnten träumt die Menschheit von unbegrenzter und kostenfreier Energie. In diesem Jahrhundert könnte der Traum wahr werden, denn die Solarenergie übertrifft seit den 1960er-Jahren zuverlässig alle Erwartungen. Bis heute wird sie jedes Jahr günstiger und besser. "Es spricht nicht viel dafür, dass dieser Trend schlagartig endet", sagt Christian Breyer. Effizienter werden und Kosten trimmen - das sei die "paranoide DNA der Industrie."Das Ergebnis ist beeindruckend: "Das Anwendungsprofil kann noch so unterschiedlich sein, es gibt keinen Ort auf dieser Welt, wo man Solarenergie nicht sinnvoll für wenige Cent nutzen kann", sagt der Solarökonom im "Klima-Labor". Ein deutscher Politiker hat diese Entwicklung schon in den 1990er-Jahren kommen sehen.Gast? Christian Breyer, Solarökonom von der Technischen Universität Lappeenranta (LUT) in Finnland.

In dieser Folge des Podcasts „Kopfsalat“ von Freunde fürs Leben e.V. spricht Güner Yasemin Balcı über ein Gefühl, das viele kennen, aber nur wenige aussprechen: Einsamkeit. Als Tochter alevitischer „Gastarbeiter:innen“ erzählt sie von ihrer Kindheit in Berlin-Neukölln, vom ständigen Hinterfragen ihrer Zugehörigkeit – und vom Wunsch, einfach so gesehen zu werden, wie sie ist. Im Gespräch (mit Moderator Sven Haeusler) geht es um Herkunft, Erinnerungen und den manchmal leisen Schmerz, zwischen den Stühlen zu sitzen. Aber auch um die Kraft, die entsteht, wenn Menschen sich wirklich begegnen. Balcı glaubt an Orte, an denen Verbindung wachsen darf – im Gemeinschaftsgarten, im aufgemöbelten Kiezladen, im Alltag. Die Folge ist Teil der Sonderedition Einsamkeit. Sie wird von der KKH Kaufmännische Krankenkasse gefördert.

In this episode, Ash and Dusty explore the complexities of moderation for people with ADHD. They discuss how impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, and black-and-white thinking often make it difficult to moderate behaviors such as alcohol consumption, nicotine use, marijuana, and internet usage. Ash shares personal experiences and insights about managing these challenges, emphasizing the importance of building awareness and connecting to positive motivations rather than striving for perfection or all-or-nothing approaches. Dusty highlights the slow and gradual nature of behavior change and stresses the value of multiple small tools and interventions that can help people stay on track even when self-discipline feels elusive. The hosts also touch on practical strategies, like switching from cocktails to bottled beer to improve memory retention and reduce negative aftereffects, using apps that create a pause before impulsive internet use, and structuring marijuana use to support productivity rather than hinder it. They advocate for accepting moderation as a sustainable lifestyle shift rather than a quick fix or drastic overhaul. The episode concludes with encouragement to embrace incremental progress and patience, recognizing that setbacks are part of the process.

Previously Rodrigo was Managing Director Danone Oceania, Managing Director Danone Nutricia Oceania, Managing Director Early Life Nutrition Danone Australia and New Zealand, Managing Director India, Sales and Commercial Director Medical Nutrition Division Sao Paulo, Brazil, Affiliate General Manager Columbia Eli Lilly, Regional Brand Director Europe Ely Lilly. He has a Bachelor of Economics from Universidade de Brazil and an MBA Finance from Michigan State University Rodrigo brings a global perspective to leadership, having worked across Brazil, India, Australia, and now Japan. His leadership philosophy in Japan has required significant cultural adaptation. One of the most striking differences he encountered was Japan's deep respect for hierarchy and the consensus-driven, bottom-up decision-making process. Unlike other countries where leaders expect immediate answers and dynamic debates, Japanese teams prefer to return with considered responses after internal consultations. This necessitated Rodrigo to adjust his expectations and become more patient and observant. Rodrigo emphasizes the importance of entering a new culture with humility and curiosity. His approach involves deep observation, listening actively, and being mindful of body language and unspoken cues—essential skills in a context where non-verbal communication carries weight. He also highlighted that in Japan, important decisions are often pre-aligned before formal meetings, making early involvement in project development crucial for effective leadership. To build trust and engagement, Rodrigo prioritizes transparency and consistency. He believes that sharing both strengths and vulnerabilities helps leaders connect authentically with their teams. He avoids projecting a facade of perfection, acknowledging mistakes openly, and builds teams around his own areas of weakness to complement his leadership. Communication is another pillar of his leadership approach. He insists that repetition of the company's vision and key goals is essential for alignment and motivation. At Danone, this includes an annual articulation of “key battles” that ladder up to the broader strategic vision. He ensures that these messages are communicated frequently through town halls, conventions, and online platforms. Rodrigo also encourages innovation through a structured ideation process. He believes all ideas should be welcomed in the early phase, with filtering based on strategic fit and “right to win.” Moderation and inclusion are key to ensuring that both extroverts and introverts can contribute meaningfully. Finally, he advocates for a tailored approach to company culture—one that integrates Danone's global values (Humanism, Openness, Proximity, and Enthusiasm), local Japanese customs, and his personal leadership style. He urges incoming leaders to respect local norms, seek advice from experienced expats and local consultants, and engage with customers early to understand market realities. For Rodrigo, effective leadership in Japan is an art that blends observation, humility, strategic clarity, and genuine human connection.

In this deeply honest and science-backed episode, Molly explores a topic that often gets misunderstood in the world of personal development: toxic positivity. While optimism, hope, and gratitude are powerful tools for creating a more peaceful relationship with alcohol—and life in general—Molly dives into the real science of why ignoring negative emotions does more harm than good.Learn how suppressing your feelings can lead to stress overload, impaired decision-making, and disconnection, and how true emotional resilience means feeling your emotions, not avoiding them.What You'll Learn:Why toxic positivity isn't helpful (and can actually be harmful)What happens in your brain when you suppress emotionsHow emotional suppression affects your mental and physical healthThe difference between emotional resilience and emotional repressionA powerful, practical method to process emotions with the Four S Belief System:See – Gain awareness of what you're thinking and feeling.Soothe – Offer self-compassion and calm your nervous system.Separate – Distinguish between facts and the story your brain is telling you.Shift – Choose small, believable thoughts that help you move forward.Takeaway Message: You don't have to fake being okay. Feeling your emotions fully and honestly is what allows your brain to process them and grow your resilience. It's not about avoiding discomfort—it's about learning to navigate it with care.Let's Practice Together: Take a deep breath and ask yourself: Where have I been pushing myself to stay positive instead of allowing myself to feel honestly? Your emotional truth is the beginning of your clarity.Resources & Links:Learn more about the Four S Belief System inside Molly's programs: mollywatts.comFree E-book: Alcohol Truths – How Much Is Safe?Connect with Molly on Instagram: @alcoholminimalistSubscribe & Review: If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify—it really helps others discover the podcast! ★ Support this podcast ★

In dieser Folge des Podcasts „Kopfsalat“ von Freunde fürs Leben e.V. geht es um Einsamkeit, Migration und das Gefühl von Zugehörigkeit. Zu Gast ist der Filmemacher und Produzent Çağdaş Eren Yüksel. Der 35-Jährige spricht über das Aufwachsen zwischen zwei Kulturen, späte Aha-Momente – und die stille Einsamkeit, die viele Menschen mit Einwanderungsgeschichte verbindet. Besonders durch seine Serie „Uncivilized“ wurde ihm bewusst, dass es viele gibt, die sich in lange unausgesprochenen Gefühlen wiedererkennen. Im Gespräch mit Moderator Sven Haeusler erzählt der Filmemacher, wie wichtig es ist, Erfahrungen zu teilen, um sich weniger allein zu fühlen – und wie Medien Räume schaffen können, in denen Zugehörigkeit entsteht und Vielfalt sichtbar wird. Die Folge ist Teil der Sonderedition Einsamkeit. Sie wird von der KKH Kaufmännische Krankenkasse gefördert.

In this timely episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, host Molly Watts takes a deep dive into a public health conversation that few people are having—but everyone should be listening to. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Molly tackles the proliferation of legal but dangerously unregulated mood-altering substances that are readily available at gas stations, vape shops, and convenience stores.From kratom and delta-8 THC to nitrous oxide and nicotine salts, Molly explains how these substances affect the brain, the risks they pose (especially to teens and young adults), and why they are anything but harmless.

Leo XIV. - so heißt das neue Oberhaupt der Katholischen Kirche. Seit Donnerstag ist der Amerikaner Robert Francis Prevost neuer Papst. Seitdem ist schon einiges passiert: Noch am Donnerstagabend präsentierte sich Leo den wartenden Gläubigen auf dem Balkon des Petersdoms und sprach den traditionellen Segen "Urbi et Orbi", am Tag nach seiner Wahl hielt Leo seine erste Messe ab - in der Sixtinischen Kapelle im Vatikan. Am Sonntag dann der nächste wichtige Termin: Am Mittag sprach Leo XIV. erstmals das traditionelle Sonntagsgebet vor 100.000 Menschen auf dem Petersplatz. Domradio-Chefredakteur Renardo Schlegelmilch erzählt im Podcast von geschichtsträchtigen Momenten im Vatikan und warum der Amerikaner in diesen Zeiten das ideale Kirchenoberhaupt sein könnte.Moderation?

Last week, Bill Maher lauded Michigan Democratic U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin on his HBO show because of her criticism of how her party appears "weak and woke" by the electorate. But other than the fact that Slotkin swears and cusses at times, what exactly is she pushing on a policy front that helps working class Michiganders and Americans? How will her "moderation" help bring people towards Democrats when she's currently supporting a cryptocurrency bill that Republicans, including President Trump, are pushing to please the Big Tech donor base? How does joining with Trump help fix that "weak" image Slotkin is crying about? Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Slotkin co-sponsors bill targeting Trump's crypto coin, cites risks of foreign influence."

Besonders bei Medikamenten für Kinder gibt es in der Schweiz oft Lieferengpässe. Nun hat der Bund den Zugang verbessert. Wie viel das bringt, haben wir mit einer Expertin und einem Experten besprochen. Weitere Themen: · In Kürze sollen in Argentinien bislang unbekannte Nazi-Akten veröffentlicht werden. Was ein Historiker zu der Freigabe sagt. · Eigentlich sollen die Songs beim Eurovision Song Contest unpolitisch sein. Warum es doch immer wieder zu Kontroversen kommt. · Mehr zum ESC: In Basel wird zum ersten Mal die ganze Show in Gebärdensprache übersetzt, von der Moderation bis zu den Songs.

Key Points: • Origins: Inspired by the traditional diets of countries like Greece, Italy, and Spain. • Core principles: • Emphasis on fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes. • Healthy fats like olive oil and nuts. • Lean proteins—particularly fish and poultry. • Herbs and spices for flavor instead of salt. • Moderation with red wine and dairy (optional, and always in consultation with a healthcare provider).    Fun fact: The Mediterranean diet is consistently ranked as one of the healthiest diets globally due to its heart-protective benefits.

It's renowned for promoting long-term health, especially for heart health, and is often hailed as one of the healthiest diets in the world.   The Mediterranean diet draws inspiration from the eating patterns of Mediterranean countries, where the focus has always been on fresh, seasonal, and local ingredients. It's a way of life that emphasizes balance, community, and enjoying meals together. This diet has been studied extensively and is linked to a variety of health benefits, particularly in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.   Fruits and Vegetables One of the hallmarks of the Mediterranean diet is an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. These are typically eaten in every meal, providing a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Vegetables like tomatoes, spinach, and peppers, and fruits like oranges, grapes, and apples, are common. Whole Grains and Legumes Whole grains such as whole wheat bread, brown rice, and quinoa are staples. Legumes like lentils, chickpeas, and beans are also featured prominently. These foods are high in fiber, which promotes digestive health and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Healthy Fats Olive oil is the primary source of fat in the Mediterranean diet. It's rich in monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy. Nuts, seeds, and avocados also provide healthy fats, which are important for brain function and overall health. Lean Proteins Lean proteins, especially fish and poultry, are preferred over red meats. Fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for heart health. Poultry is typically consumed in moderate amounts, and red meat is eaten sparingly. Herbs and Spices The Mediterranean diet emphasizes using herbs and spices to add flavor to dishes instead of relying on salt. Common herbs and spices include garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and cinnamon, which also offer additional health benefits due to their antioxidant properties. Moderation with Dairy and Wine Dairy is consumed in moderation, with an emphasis on low-fat or fat-free options like Greek yogurt and cheese (often feta or Parmesan). Wine is also consumed in moderation, usually red wine, and often with meals. It's important to note that wine should only be consumed if it's appropriate for your health and lifestyle, and always in consultation with a healthcare provider. The Mediterranean diet is consistently ranked as one of the healthiest diets globally, largely because of its heart-protective benefits. Studies have shown that people who follow the Mediterranean diet have a lower risk of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. It's also linked to a longer life expectancy and a lower risk of cognitive decline. In summary, the Mediterranean Diet is not just a way of eating but a lifestyle that focuses on whole, natural foods, healthy fats, lean proteins, and a moderate, balanced approach to eating. Whether you're looking to improve heart health, manage weight, or just eat more mindfully, the Mediterranean diet provides a delicious and sustainable way to nourish your body.    Scientific Benefits: • Blood sugar control: • The fiber from vegetables, whole grains, and legumes slows the absorption of glucose, preventing spikes. • Heart health benefits: • Rich in healthy fats and antioxidants, reducing inflammation and supporting cardiovascular health—a key concern for diabetics. • Weight management: • The diet is naturally lower in processed foods and sugar, promoting weight control, which can improve insulin sensitivity.     Breakfast: • Greek yogurt parfait with chia seeds, berries, and a sprinkle of nuts. • Vegetable omelet with spinach, tomatoes, and feta cheese.    Lunch: • Mediterranean salad bowl: Romaine, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, grilled chicken, and a lemon-olive oil vinaigrette. • Hummus and veggie wrap: Whole wheat wrap with hummus, shredded carrots, cucumbers, and leafy greens.    Dinner: • Baked salmon with roasted zucchini and quinoa (season with lemon, garlic, and herbs). • Stuffed peppers with ground turkey, tomatoes, and brown rice.    Snack: • Mixed nuts with a few olives. • Cucumber slices with tzatziki.  Segment 5: Practical Tips for Getting Started (5-7 mins)    Shopping Tips: • Stick to the perimeter of the grocery store for fresh produce, lean meats, and whole grains. • Read labels: Choose olive oil-based dressings over creamy or sugary ones.    Meal Prep Strategies: • Batch cook grains and proteins for easy meal assembly during the week. • Make your own Mediterranean spice blend with oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and paprika.

In this episode, Molly revisits a listener favorite: Undoing the Urge to Overdrink — a heartfelt and informative conversation first shared just before Thanksgiving 2023. Molly reflects on how emotional triggers, life events, and deeply rooted habits shape our relationship with alcohol — and how we can interrupt the cycle to create lasting change.Molly also shares a poignant personal moment, connecting the episode's theme with the anniversary of her father's passing on Thanksgiving night in 2022, making this revisited conversation especially meaningful.This episode coincides with the launch of Just One More, Molly's new two-week mini-course aimed at helping binge drinkers take the first powerful step toward a peaceful relationship with alcohol. (Sign-ups are open now! Check the link in the show notes.)Key Topics Covered:Defining Overdrinking and Binge Drinking: Molly clarifies what constitutes a binge for women (4+ standard drinks) and men (5+ standard drinks) — emphasizing why even gradual consumption across a day still counts as overdrinking.Impact of Overdrinking Beyond Intoxication: How even without reaching a "drunk" state, overdrinking disrupts sleep, elevates anxiety, taxes the liver, and triggers inflammatory responses.Holiday Drinking Traps: Common ways Thanksgiving and other holidays can lull us into overdrinking patterns — and why "spreading it out" doesn't negate its negative effects.Personal Reflections on Thanksgiving: Molly shares her experience navigating family-induced stress (especially dealing with her mother-in-law's anxiety) without turning to alcohol, highlighting the importance of mind management.The Cycle of Overdrinking: Breaking down the behavioral patterns and emotional triggers that drive overdrinking — and how building awareness interrupts the urge before it turns into action.Tools for Undoing the Urge: Molly emphasizes key strategies:Practicing mindfulness during urgesChoosing empathy over resentment in stressful family situationsReframing thoughts to shift emotional responsesFocusing on gratitude and emotional resilienceImportant Reminder: Changing your drinking habits isn't just about counting days — it's about understanding your brain, managing your mind, and creating a lifestyle of peace and intentionality.Featured Resource: Just One More A two-week mini-program designed to help binge drinkers interrupt old patterns and create a sustainable path toward mindful drinking.  Sign up here (link in the show notes)Connect with Molly:Website: www.mollywatts.comFacebook Group: Alcohol Minimalists: Change Your Alcohol HabitsLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Join the conversation in our community at https://butjesusdrankwine.com/community.  In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Christy and Meade welcome Jill, a beloved member of the But Jesus Drank Wine leadership team, to share her powerful story of breaking free from alcohol and drawing closer to God. After ten years of trying to moderate her drinking, Jill was inspired by Christy's sobriety story in the summer of 2023 and made the bold decision to stop drinking entirely. What followed was a journey of spiritual renewal, mental clarity, and deeper intimacy with God. Jill opens up about the subtle ways alcohol had taken hold of her life—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. She shares how it consumed her mental energy, fueled guilt and shame, and ultimately stood in the way of the peace and purpose she longed for. Through surrender, community, and daily obedience, Jill experienced true freedom—and now encourages others to do the same. This conversation is especially meaningful for women navigating caregiving, motherhood, and the pressure to “keep it together.” Jill's courage to speak up and step out is a reminder that the cost of honesty is far outweighed by the gift of freedom. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why moderation isn't always harmless—and what it might be costing you How alcohol can quietly become a spiritual and emotional burden What it means to truly surrender a habit to God The role of testimony and vulnerability in personal transformation Encouragement for women in the “sandwich generation” carrying invisible loads How community and faith walk hand-in-hand toward lasting sobriety Join our private, small-group coaching space, The Missing Peace, and get BJDW all-community access for free! https://butjesusdrankwine.com/coaching Order Christy's book now available!

In this week's Think Thursday episode, we explore an unexpectedly powerful topic: the science of smiling. Is being a "natural smiler" something you're born with? Can smiling actively improve your mood, or is it just a reflection of how you feel?And what role does a simple grin play in rewiring your brain for resilience, positivity, and emotional peace?Molly dives into the research on genetic influences on smiling, the concept of the facial feedback loop, and the emotional benefits of practicing intentional smiles. You'll also hear a heartwarming story about how even our beloved dogs have evolved to smile at us—showcasing the profound social importance of smiling across species. If you're interested in learning how a small daily action can contribute to building emotional resilience and improving your relationship with alcohol, this episode is for you.Key Topics Discussed:Is being a "natural smiler" genetic or learned?How smiling activates dopamine, serotonin, and endorphinsThe Facial Feedback Hypothesis: influencing emotions through physical expressionsSmiling as a low-stakes, daily practice for emotional regulationHow dogs evolved to recognize and return human smilesWhy mindful smiling can be a strategic habit change toolWhy It Matters for Alcohol Minimalists: Creating small, intentional shifts in behavior—such as practicing a mindful smile—supports the larger work of reshaping your relationship with alcohol.

Brahmacharya is one of the Yamas, ethical guidelines in Yoga philosophy. This includes managing your energy in terms of speech, consumption, activity, and thoughts. The goal is to avoid excess and depletion, fostering a balanced and intentional way of living. Brahmacharya is about self-mastery, not suppression. Be guided using an affirmation to experience inner wholeness.

TikTok is going to be testing a new crowd-sourced fact-checking system called Footnotes. It's seems similar to the Community Notes systems already in use on other social media, such as X and Facebook. TikTok is also keeping its current fact-checking systems in place. The way these community systems generally work is, say someone makes a post stating "whales are the biggest fish out there." Another user could add a note saying "actually, whales are mammals, and here's a source with more information."Marketplace's Stephanie Hughes spoke with Vanderbilt psychology professor Lisa Fazio about why this model of "citizen fact-checking" is catching on.
