In this episode of Leadership Bites, I interview Guido Palazzo, Professor of Business Ethics, University of Lausanne, who explores the dark side of corporate behaviour and the systemic issues that lead to ethical failures. We discuss Guido's background, the concept of his brilliant book 'The Dark Pattern: The Hidden Dynamics of Corporate Scandals' in corporate scandals, and the importance of understanding the systems and cultures that allow unethical behaviour to thrive. The conversation delves into the psychological aspects of corporate culture, the slippery slope of ethical compromise, and the need for organisations to create environments that promote ethical decision-making. Ultimately, we highlight the importance of awareness and proactive measures to prevent ethical failures in business.TakeawaysGuido focuses on the absence of ethics in business.Corporate scandals often involve good people making bad decisions.Systems, not just individuals, drive unethical behaviour.Leadership plays a crucial role in shaping organisational culture.Group dynamics can lead to conformity and ethical blindness.The slippery slope of compromise can lead to significant ethical failures.Survival instincts can overshadow ethical considerations in the workplace.Creating a 'bright pattern' can help organisations avoid ethical pitfalls.Awareness and proactive measures are essential for ethical business practices.The importance of having a court jester to provide honest feedback in organisations.Key Moments & Chapters00:00 Introduction to Ethics and Corporate Responsibility03:03 Guido's Background and Academic Journey05:37 Understanding Ethics in Business08:49 The Role of Systems in Ethical Failures11:45 Exploring Corporate Scandals and Dark Patterns14:35 The Impact of Leadership on Organizational Culture17:41 Group Dynamics and Ethical Decision Making20:30 The Combination of Dark Patterns in Corporations23:28 Survival and Ethical Compromise in Business26:12 Conclusion: The Human Element in Corporate Ethics26:42 The Dark Patterns of Corporate Culture29:39 The Slippery Slope of Compromise33:16 The Illusion of the Messiah in Leadership40:13 The Disconnect Between Leadership and Reality44:11 Finding the Bright Pattern in Dark TimesTo find out more about Guy Bloom and his award winning work in Team Coaching, Leadership Development and Executive Coaching click below.The link to everything CLICK HEREUK: 07827 953814Email: guybloom@livingbrave.com Web: www.livingbrave.com

How did you get here? We all have moments where we look back and wonder how a series of small, seemingly harmless choices led us to a place we never intended to be. In a culture saturated with deepfakes, fraud, and daily deceptions, is it possible that our own "little white lies" are leading us down a dangerous path?This week, our journey through the life of David takes a stunning turn. Up until now, David has been the ultimate hero - the faithful shepherd, the giant slayer, the man who trusted God. But when faced with the relentless threat of King Saul, the pressure of self-preservation causes David to compromise and manipulate the truth.In this message, Jon Bell dives into 1 Samuel 21 & 22 to unpack the moment David tells a series of fatal lies to Ahimelek the priest in the city of Nob.
Do you want a homebirth so bad that it hurts sometimes? You find yourself with racing thoughts of all the what of scenarios which leads you into a cycle of information overload. You're scrolling IG for hours searching for stories just like yours to help you feel better, you compulsively text your doula or midwife in hopes they will say just the right thing to calm your nerves. You start to question if homebirth is really what you should be doing… or you go so far to believe that it would be better to die at home then transfer to the hospital. If this sounds like you, you're not alone! Today my friend Amanda and I are going to be diving deeper into some New Age and New Thought deceptions that ultimately lead to idolizing birth.

Welcome back to The Tom Bilyeu Show Live, where thought-provoking debate and unfiltered takes collide in real time. In this explosive episode, Tom Bilyeu and co-host Drew dive headfirst into the week's most controversial headlines—starting with the freshly unearthed email allegations linking Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, and what that means for public perception, accountability, and the ever-shifting boundaries of scandal. But that's just the beginning. The conversation takes a sharp turn into the heart of political ideology, as Tom Bilyeu draws bold lines between socialism, communism, state-run capitalism, and authoritarianism. He doesn't shy away from naming names, unpacking the influence of public figures like Mamdani, and warning of the historical dangers he sees in popular movements—citing examples from the writings on Mao, Stalin, and beyond. Is the current direction of democratic socialism a slippery slope, or a misunderstood path to progress? How do ideas—dangerous or otherwise—gain momentum, and what's the true cost when policy meets real-world consequences? Alongside Drew, the pair weigh up everything from government spending, deficits, and the logic—or lack thereof—of modern monetary theory, to why “free” often comes with a hidden price tag. If you've ever wondered how the economic choices of today shape the society of tomorrow, or where the line is drawn between strong leadership and dangerous dogma, you won't want to miss this candid, high-stakes conversation. So, get ready for riveting insights and sharp commentary—it's all here, right now, on The Tom Bilyeu Show Live. What's up, everybody? It's Tom Bilyeu here: If you want my help...

In this episode, Tara exposes the growing cracks in America's justice system through a viral case that's equal parts absurd and alarming. The “DC Sandwich Man,” Sean Dunn, was acquitted after throwing a sandwich at a federal officer — despite clear video evidence and no denial of guilt. Tara connects this to a disturbing trend: political favoritism and the erosion of legal equality. Drawing parallels to the Russian and Marxist revolutions, she warns how “post-American” justice may already be taking root in Washington, D.C. The conversation expands to past examples, including the Michael Sussman trial, to illustrate a justice system increasingly split along ideological lines — and what that means for the country's future.

In this intense episode 97 of the No Pillz Podcast, host Gordon McGhee tackles a question everyone faces: Should you stay friends with a friend who cheated on their partner?We start with infidelity statistics in the US, where self-reported surveys suggest about 20% to 25% of married couples experience infidelity. These numbers climb even higher when considering emotional affairs.Gordon dives deep into the personal consequences, sharing a powerful story from a woman who stayed friends with a cheater only to have that friend steal her boyfriend and marry him on her birthday.Key Discussion Points:Is Cheating a Mistake or a Choice? Gordon argues that cheating is a deliberate, intentional choice, not an unintentional mistake.The Character Flaw: The discussion concludes that cheating is a character flaw and warns that someone who will cheat on a spouse may also betray a friend.The Slippery Slope to Infidelity: It often starts small, like an emotional connection, talking, or hiding texts from your partner.Consequences of Sin: We explore the reality that repentance doesn't always remove the consequences, like friends looking at you differently or choosing to protect themselves.What would you do?

Beware the Slippery Slope We talk about the two sides of the Israel/Gaza war and how the media has covered what is happening. What we are told is not always correct or complete, and without seeing the big picture, it is difficult to make an accurate assessment. This is true for the wars that have occurred, the experimental gene therapy they called a "vaccine", and even what happened with George Floyd. We have to be willing to question everything. If killing someone in war is OK, then it can be a slippery slope to other bad acts. We can choose to glorify violence and destruction or we can choose to focus on peace and care. Small acts of kindness can have a larger impact than you might expect. Essentially, it comes down to "Do what is right", especially when no one is looking.

Have you ever stood in front of the growing selection of non-alcoholic beverages and wondered if they're a smart choice or a slippery slope? Non-alcoholic drinks are everywhere now: fancy mocktails at restaurants, craft NA beers at the grocery store, entire shops dedicated to alcohol-free spirits. But beneath the surface of this booming market lies a deeper question that many people wrestle with: are these drinks helping you move forward, or are they keeping you stuck in old patterns? The answer isn't as straightforward as you might think. Tune in this week as Adriana Cloud joins me to dig into the archetypes most connected to non-alcoholic drinks, and explore how to approach these beverages with curiosity rather than rules.

A Note from James:We kept recording because the conversation wasn't done. Part 1 was about writing and honesty. Part 2? It's about consequences—what happens when people believe their own hype, when we confuse being loud with being right, and when storytelling gets weaponized. Ryan Holiday has written about ego, stillness, and obstacles. But this part of the conversation gets at something deeper: what happens when power and narrative collide. And how do we live with integrity when the tools we use to create can just as easily be used to manipulate?Episode Description:In Part 2 of their conversation, James Altucher and Ryan Holiday explore the darker side of influence—how public figures lose their grounding, how movements become cults, and how audience validation can steer creators away from their original purpose.They discuss RFK Jr., Jordan Peterson, and Tucker Carlson—not as political figures, but as case studies in how public personas evolve under the pressure of attention. Along the way, they wrestle with their own roles as communicators: when to speak, when to hold back, and what it really means to be useful in a world full of noise.What You'll Learn:Why creators are vulnerable to audience captureThe line between healthy skepticism and conspiracy thinkingWhat separates honesty from manipulation in public discourseWhy power often comes at the expense of self-awarenessHow James and Ryan each wrestle with responsibility as public thinkersTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] Continuation from Part 1[01:00] How Personas Get Distorted Over Time[02:00] The RFK Jr. Conundrum[04:00] Audience Capture and Dopamine Loops[06:00] When Truth Becomes Optional[08:00] Jordan Peterson and the Burden of Symbolism[10:00] Platform Power vs. Message Integrity[11:00] What Happens When You Start Believing Your Own Brand[12:00] The "Edge" as a Career Strategy[13:00] The Slippery Slope from Insight to Grift[15:00] Building a Philosophy Business[16:00] How Stoicism Can Be Used or Abused[17:00] Tucker Carlson, Outrage, and Narrative Control[19:00] Being Useful vs. Being Loud[21:00] When You're More Known Than You Are Understood[23:00] The Fear of Changing Your Mind[24:00] When Silence is the Most Ethical Choice[25:00] Creating in Public Without Losing Yourself[27:00] The Most Powerful Words: “I Don't Know”Additional Resources:Ryan Holiday's website: ryanholiday.netEgo Is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday: AmazonJames Altucher on Twitter: @jaltucherThe Daily Stoic podcast: Daily StoicSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
