The Skid Row CEODonna and I met Joe Roberts on our journey of meeting people every day. We came across Joe when we saw him on a video on goal.cast (see link below). Watching this video brought tears to my eyes and I felt compelled to reach out to Joe.Joe went from Skid Row to CEO in 12 years. With this experience he helps companies and people redefine what's truly possible. He is an expert on resiliency and change. Having experienced both catastrophic failure and extraordinary success he teaches how anyone can overcome perceived limitations and create high performance results.Joe is also the Executive Director and Co-Founder of The Push for Change Foundation, a charity advocating for youth homelessness prevention. Joe walked 9064KM across Canada from May 1, 2016 until September 29, 2017, pushing a shopping cart to raise money and awareness about youth homelessness.What is most amazing about Joe is that in 1989 he was living on the streets of Vancouver as a homeless skid row addict. Through perseverance, determination and his resilient human spirit, Joe pulled himself out of darkness and despair, to become a highly respected business and community leader.Since 1989, Joe has acquired two college diplomas, became the CEO of one of Vancouver's leading multimedia companies, walked across Canada and achieved more success than he could ever have imagined.

FAIL. LEARN. RESET. REPEAT. We’re thrilled to bring back to the show this week Mr Joseph Mencel. For those of you that are long time listeners he needs little introduction. Business Owner, Real-Talk Influencer, Professional body-builder and long-time friend of Oz', Joe has plenty to offer and inspire all of us on. Recently Joe put up a post on Instagram and the caption read: “People often tell me that they want to start their own business. When I ask them why they are quick to list off all of the perceived benefits; more time with friends and family, financial freedom, flexibility with working hours, being your own boss... To be honest, I think they have been misled. In the 13 years that I’ve been running MassiveJoes I’ve learned more about business, people and myself than I would have ever imagined. And yeah, there have been some incredible highs. But the truth is, most of the time, it's been tough. It's been incredibly tough. It's consumed every ounce of my mental & emotional energy for over a decade. I’ve worked every single day since day 1. Time off? What time off? I've lost friends - in fact, I now don’t have any friends who aren’t work related. I've given up time with family that I will never get back. The personal financial freedom I’ve experienced pales in comparison to the financial pressures of funding an ever growing empire. I’ve seen far more frequently the worst, rather than the best, in people. I've been let down by those who I've trusted time & time again. I've been so consumed by stress that I’ve literally felt physically sick. I’ve been continuously criticized by people close to me for not having balance, been told my priorities are way out of whack, and that I’m wasting my life. And I've seriously considered throwing the towel in on multiple occasions. But you know why I continue to push forward? It’s certainly not because of those perceived benefits that most people are quick to list when they think of starting their own business. They simply do not exist. It’s because I'm obsessed. I love this. Call me crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. And that’s the point. If you want to run your own business the primary reason for doing so should be because you are so passionate about what you are doing that it becomes an overwhelming obsession. I’m not saying this to discourage you from starting your own business. I’m saying that the general perception is worlds apart from the reality. The reality is, you have to be obsessed. If you are, go for it. If you’re not, forget about it.” This is why I asked him on the show. We cover everything from failures in life, love and business… to how to recover quickly from failure… to motivation… to goal setting… and we answered a bunch of questions sent to us from you guys & girls via Instagram. I love putting this show together. It has a lot of deep and informative conversation that we can all learn a lot from.

Joe paints a raw image of what life was and is like for indigenous Australians, and he reminds us about the importance of community. Joe makes a really interesting point about genetic memory and intergenerational trauma, and how our ancestors and their experiences really do play a part in shaping who we are as people. We also go deeper into his experiences with mental health and the things he’s learned to help manage. He is definitely someone on the front line, fighting in the trenches on the issue of suicide prevention. In fact, the afternoon this interview took place, he only just found out about someone in his community committing suicide, which shows just how real it is for him on a day-to-day basis.Joe is a proud Aboriginal man. He played in the NRL (for our international listeners that’s the national rugby league here in Australia) for South Sydney Rabbitohs, Penrith Panthers and Canterbury Bulldogs before switching to professional Boxing in 2009 where he was crowned a 2x WBF World Jnr Welterweight champion WBC Asia Continental Title holder. Outside of the spotlight he was battling mental illness, as he had done for most of his life. In 2012 Joe tried to take his own life. Despite a successful career, he has lived with bipolar which has challenged him to his greatest lengths, far beyond any physical world contests. Through that experience he found his true calling – which is to use his personal and professional experiences to help other people. Recently Joe has also been involved in filming of the worldwide documentary, "Suicide the Ripple Effect" from director and fellow advocate, Kevin Hines (the man who survived jumping off the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco). He is a published author with his book “Defying The Enemy Within”. In 2018 Joe was conferred the highest honour of Australia's most eminent Suicide Prevention organisation, Suicide Prevention Australia's LIFE Award for his outstanding work in communities across Australia.

We may have reached, “a fairly critical point where traditional photographic evidence just isn't as reliable as it used to be.” This according to our most recent podcast guest, Joe Kashi. In addition to being a trial attorney in Alaska, Joe has worked in automation technology and is himself a serious photographer. Recently Joe taught a two-part webinar series, “Using and Misusing Visual Evidence, Parts 1 and 2,” moderated by ALPS Risk Manager and podcast host, Mark Bassingthwaighte. In this interview Mark and Joe delve even deeper into how technology and the accessibility of photo editing software is changing how we view photographic evidence in the courtroom. ALPS In Brief, The ALPS Risk Management Podcast, is hosted by ALPS Risk Manager, Mark Bassingthwaighte. MARK: Hello. I'm Mark Bassingthwaighte, the Risk Manager here at ALPS. Welcome to the latest episode of ALPS In Brief, a podcast that comes to you from the historic Florence building in beautiful downtown Missoula, Montana. I'm delighted today to be able to introduce not only a guest, but a good friend, Joe Kashi, and Joe is a lawyer who practices in Soldotna, on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. Joe, as always, it's great to have an opportunity to visit with you again. Do you want to take a moment and just share an item of interest about yourself to our guests? JOE: Sure, just by way of brief bio. But usually, other people do it. Well, Mark, you and I have been friends for over 20 years, since we were doing technology presentations for the ABA Tech Show together. MARK: That's right. JOE: And quite a number of presentations after that. So, I think we know each other's handwriting pretty well. But for our listeners, I got my bachelor's and master's degrees at MIT, where I've been working with automation technology since the late 1960s with old hand punch card mainframes, and hopefully stayed reasonably current since that point, even though I'm practicing as a lawyer in a relatively rural part of Alaska. After Georgetown Law School, I worked in D.C. for a while. Actually, myself and two other guys were the first three people to work on a National Science Foundation project, tracking the rise of the, quote, “information society in America,” which actually was a term we coined back in the mid-1970s. I got rather tired of … I guess I'd have to say I'm an east coast refugee, because after that, I moved to Alaska, where I've been doing trial practice for the last 40 years, mostly in construction litigation, personal injury, and some real property litigation. MARK: I've always … Thank you for sharing that. Every time we have these conversations, I learn a bit more. I've always viewed you as a guy who has been sort of ahead of the rest of us. That is in part why I entered into a discussion with you last summer about putting on a webinar program for us, and you did it, although I was technically along for the ride. You did all the heavy lifting on this, and I'm referring to a two-part, three hour webinar series that you did. It's still up, by the way, and available for download, if any of you out there in the listening audience want to take a look at this at some point, but it was entitled, “Using and Misusing Visual Evidence.” My interest, as you recall, Joe, is just coming to the realization that so many of us, day to day, have these photo editing tools, and you come back from vacation, and you do all kinds of editing, and I started to think, “Wait a second. This is so easy to do.” I don't buy that clients and perhaps at times lawyers, not necessarily trying to do anything unethical or something, but that people aren't editing and doing things with evidence, in terms of photographic evidence. So, we kind of got started on this program. I'd like to kind of follow up on that program, and ask again the question, should lawyers be concerned about the ease with which anyone can edit digital photographs? And to follow up to that, why? JOE: Well, Mark, I'm going to throw in a little bit of extra background there. I've also been doing serious photography for about 50 years, ever since studying with Minor White back at MIT, and actually had a photo finishing lab for several years as a sideline. It's an unusual situation, because the digital era really is bringing three different areas into focus; trial practice, photography generally and conceptually, and then the more recent digital revolution, which very much allows you to make the sorts of work you never could do with a traditional chemical film and paper kind of film photography aspect before. So, really, what we've reached is … I would say rather suddenly, is a fairly critical point where traditional photographic evidence just isn't as reliable as it used to be. In fact, I can say that it's becoming significantly less reliable. The concerns we run into, I think they're fairly common. I've had cases … And it's not so much the lawyers that are the problem as the people who've consulted with me about these situations, and there have been several, even in our small town of Alaska that have come to my attention, has to do more with clients or complainants who are bringing … show excessively enhanced photographs to the attention of the lawyers, and then attempting to use those as evidence. Every photograph is enhanced to some extent, otherwise it's essentially unusable. You make traditional correction. You correct the exposure, correct the contrast. MARK: Right. JOE: That sort of thing. Not a problem. The sorts of corrections that you can make in a dark room were generally within reasonable, although even then, there's a lot of case law about what is or not acceptable. More recently, and especially the last two or three years, with the rise of artificial intelligence neuro-networking built into various photographic “enhancement” programs, we've reached sort of a watershed, where there's essentially no film photography being done anymore, except by people doing it are the fine arts standpoint. That's usually large format, four by five sorts of cameras and larger. For the average day to day use, digital photography's great, but the problem is ensuring that what you're using is appropriate, and therefore not being misused. It's important, I think, to note that using photography to document stuff or to explain, is a tremendous benefit. It's the sort of thing which helps trial lawyers really go and help make their story really, really comprehensible very quickly, because we're primarily visual rather than linear. You can get a lot more and be a lot more persuasive with a single picture than with the proverbial 1,000 words. We're taught in law school, “Paint a picture with words.” I suggest you show the picture instead. It's going to be a lot more reliable. But people, I think, are becoming more and more aware of the ease with which matters can be manipulated, and I would caution, it's not just still photographs. There's new technology that I've seen demonstrated by Adobe and others that allow you to go and totally erase people, totally, from a video. It's not just digital stills anymore. It is digital video as well becoming very quickly susceptible to the same level of manipulation. MARK: That's what I find absolutely frightening in some ways. JOE: Me too. MARK: It just makes my head hurt at times. When I think about the pace it changed, Joe, and in terms of hardware and software, it just … The stuff is crazy fast. I was sharing … I recently read an article about a startup that built a smartphone with 16 cameras onboard, and I'm sitting here, “Why in the world would I need 16 cameras on a smartphone?” But, you know, again … JOE: Well, that brings up a good point, Mark. I was going to mention that. MARK: Yes. JOE: I was thinking as you're talking, there's something called computational photography, which is now coming to the fore. Computational photography can take a lot of inputs and, by applying intensive computation, really clean them up a great deal. On the webinar that we have posted, there's some examples of those sorts of computational photography that go way beyond just going and using traditional digital tools in something like Lightroom to go and enhance, say, pull out a face in a video. Now, there's a certain amount of enhancement that state supreme courts around the country have found to be acceptable. But what's become … on videos and stills both, but there are also levels where it goes not just beyond excessive enhancement, but it can start rising to the level of a fraud in the court and a clear ethical issue. It's kind of a fine line there between what's appropriate, what isn't appropriate, so obviously based upon circumstances. But the common thread has been generally to use a standard program, which produces replicatable results, and provides an audit trail. More than anyway, we're getting back to the traditional evidence rules 102, 103, 104, where the weight is becoming critical. The weight appropriately has to be decided by the trier of fact, and whether it's even admissible at all. Obviously by the trial judge. But when you get back to those issues, what the courts are starting to say is, “We want you to use a program that doesn't allow you to paste a gun from one person's hand into the picture of a totally innocent person, or paste one face on another.” I would argue that that's critical. So, I tend to recommend a program that has a non-destructive editor, such as Adobe Lightroom, where what you have is a database of changes that you've made, and you can step backward or forward. Unlike a program like Photoshop, where once you've gone and done the image, let's say you've composited two layers; put the gun into somebody else's hand. Once you've gone and done that, you save the file, there's no going back. All the other changes are lost. Everything is essentially lost in terms of prior data, being able to backtrack to where you started. So, what you have then is a need for looking very carefully at the metadata. All the information about the photograph, what was done about it, and to a certain extent, that is embedded in the files. If the metadata seems incomplete or missing, then obviously that's a case by case basis. They should be very suspicious about the photograph, because it's obviously been enhanced. Metadata … Every JPEG file, which is kind of the standard interchangeable format, every JPEG file by international definition, the very definition of a JPEG required that certain data be embedded in it that have a lot to do with showing the circumstances that it was taken, how the camera was adjusted. For example, perspective, which is critical in a lot of accident injury cases. Those sorts of things are critical. They're in the metadata. If the metadata's not there, then you're likely to go and be very … or should be very suspicious about the photograph itself. If the metadata is there, you could go and then start looking at it from the standpoint of traditional case law about what photographs are appropriately admissible or not. And then it goes to the weight of the evidence at that point. Generally speaking, I recommend that people use a non-destructive editor, like Adobe Lightroom. Not a destructive editor that bakes the changes in forever, like Adobe Photoshop or similar layered programs, that they use what's called the raw file. Raw files are all the data that the sensor ever captured. They're saved as a raw file. If you set it up as such, JPEG and raw files are two different formats. JPEG, once a change is made or once it's taken by the camera, all the data is baked in. You can't change it. You can't recover all the stuff that's been lost through JPEG compression. Raw gives you the ability to go with a program like Lightroom and stipulate from the original data all the way through to whatever your final result is that you want to show to the trier of fact, and then prove to the trier of fact what steps you've taken. So you could show … you could go step by step, repeating along the way. That's the feature of Lightroom. You can step by step along the way, and show to the trier of fact how you got to the result you're offering as an exhibit. That's often been very critical as an admissibility factor for both stills and videos in the state supreme court decisions I read. MARK: What- JOE: Anyway, metadata … Raw format if you can. Metadata, try to avoid formats that bake the changes in forever and lose everything. MARK: That makes sense to me, but I often … in terms of what lawyers should be doing, but … as they handle and use digital evidence, visual evidence. But I'm a risk guy, and I also … A big part of my job is looking at, where the problems kind of come up? I guess one of the things I get concerned about is just clients, whether it's an adverse party or our own client. They have ready access to these programs that, to use your phrase, that are destructive kinds of things, and can insert the gun into a hand of somebody that … Those kinds of things. JOE: And then try to erase the evidence. MARK: Right, right. Do you think … Am I … I tend to get paranoid at times about all kinds of things, but is that a realistic concern? JOE: Yes. MARK: Do lawyers need to be aware? JOE: I've seen several cases like that come up in the last few years, even in our small area of 45, 50,000 people. MARK: Yeah. That's just … JOE: I'm aware of at least three. MARK: Do you think in terms of our profession as a whole, do you think lawyers generally get that? JOE: No. MARK: Yeah. JOE: Very few lawyers get it. Unfortunately, they may end up getting it in the end. If that occurs, you've seen cases where people were newly convicted, upstanding business people, for example. Somebody had a grudge against him, and they didn't exactly contract stuff, but let's just say that erasing the metadata prevented people from going in and analyzing that in fact, something wasn't exactly what they purported to be, but was closer or farther or whatever if you fall. But I'm saying, their perspective analysis is critical at that point. MARK: So, if you were to … Let's pretend for a moment I'm just a young lawyer, kind of trying to get into the litigation game, and you become something of a mentor to me. What would you choose to share? I guess I'm trying to get at, what are the risks that I'm facing if I stay naïve? What do I need to just think about, generally speaking, in terms of trying to become competent in all of this? Just some closing remarks, I guess. JOE: Okay. Well, becoming competent in terms of the visual evidence, and I'm referring about stills and video at this point. MARK: Yes. JOE: Fundamentally, I think what you need to do is at least stay on top of the sorts of changes that are occurring, if nothing else. People tend to be using more and more smartphones, for example, as a primary photographic tool, which I, since I come from a construction litigation background, where it's often critical, as we showed in the webinar, by the way, construction litigation and personal injury, it's awfully critically to be able to go and later zoom in and find tiny, but very important details. If you don't have the kind of resolution, exposure range, and other factors, that are typically lacking in cell phones, then you're not going to have that data. My general concern with cell phones is that … or I should say smartphones, is that the photographs from those tend to be on average really not as good as they should be, at a minimum, for forensic purposes in court, especially when you need to make a print that's bigger than, say, eight by ten for the jury, the view of the jury room, et cetera. We still need to have prints, if you will, for evidence. The fact that a cell phone looks good on a computer screen isn't sufficient. That's actually a very well-resolution medium. It looks good, but not for serious forensic use. So, first thing I think is to start learning how to use, or at least have … learning how to use a higher quality resolution camera. Micro four thirds, APSC full frame digital are good numbers. Any of those will work well. And probably at least become aware of the sorts of things that can be done with programs like Lightroom or Photoshop. You can't be your own expert. You can't be your own witness, of course. MARK: Right. JOE: But at least you could start issue spotting. And issue spotting is, what's happening with the metadata? What sorts of new computational approaches may render this less positive and start doing serious discovery about the nature of the … basically about the nature of whatever evidence is in front of you. MARK: Yeah. Yeah. I like that. How I tend to view this is, we all now, I think in today's world, really understand and appreciate … Just because it's on the internet, doesn't make it true. And I [crosstalk 00:19:17] JOE: That's certainly really … No, that statement is true. MARK: Did I get it backwards? I'd say … JOE: No, it's okay, I agree with you. MARK: Yeah, yeah. But sort of paralleling that into digital photography, just because we have a digital file, whether it's a photograph or a video, doesn't mean that the information presented in the video or on the photo is an accurate capturing of the event. JOE: Well, a least not after it's been post-processed, and potentially not when it was captured, either. MARK: Right. Right. JOE: What I would suggest overall, Mark, is knowing the traditional evidentiary rules, being able to go and document what was done to the trier of fact. Always having an unaltered copy of the original photograph from the very beginning with everything in it. All the metadata, all the data, anything else. It's going to be critical. You preserve the original photograph exactly unchanged, be able to show it to the trier of fact what has been done to go with the … to basically make your final exhibit, that it's within the bounds of conventionally acceptable enhancement. Recognizing that you have to prove weight of the evidence to the trier of fact will go a really long way. I don't see a … Given the vast changes in the technology of what can be done post-processing, I'm not sure that we can come up with a good, hard and fast technical rule that's any more effective than the traditional rules of evidence, assuming that people get the metadata and analyze it with an appropriate expert, and assuming that people go and … trial lawyers understand basic photographic notions as they would affect what's seen. And it's always worth remembering that the camera will see things differently than the human eye. At best, there's an approximation. MARK: Yes. JOE: It's not one to one exact. MARK: Right, right. Listen, Joe, I really appreciate your taking time to share your insights on what I consider just a very, very important topic.

The “DUH” moment that changed your partnerships forever There was a time in Joe’s chiropractic career that the business was struggling. He was feeling stressed and he feels stressed he tends to get nit-picky around the house. Fortunately a coach of Joe’s pointed out how hurtful this was to his wife. This was a lightbulb moment. It had never occurred to him that his behavior was hurting his wife. He went home and sat down with his wife and apologized and she burst into tears.

His father passed away when he was 15 and this created a huge void in his life. Recently Joe was coaching his son’s baseball team when they won the championship. Just being on the field and seeing the joy as the kids jumped up and down brought him back to being a boy with his Dad. Being able to experience this from the other side was surreal. Watching his son succeed in life was 100 times greater than when he won the championship as a child. What is the best partnership / relationship advice you have ever received? Don’t take shit from anyone. If you’’re in a relationship where you’re taking crap from somebody because you feel that you need to. You don’t feel you’re worthy or you don’t think you can have a relationship if you don’t take crap. Then you need to take a good look in the mirror and ask if this is the life you want to live. Just because everybody else jumps off a bridge doesn’t mean you have to.
