Welcome back Fireside family. The world of comic-related current events seems to be taking a trip back to the familiar isles of Westeros. Even with the House of Hulks showing the world they are more than just a courtroom sitcom, nothing grabs your attention like a dragon. Join Mendte, Mashko, Baby Huey, and Mr. Maurer as they talk about the premiers of both the Game of Thrones spinoff, House of Dragons, as well as the long-awaited premier of She-Hulk. To start things off we need to revisit the Dark Knights watch to see what else from Warner Brothers is on the Chopping block, namely Batman. Seems like the adult animated series may be headed to the same Ghaston Grey fate near the sea of Dorne. Maybe Sir Netflix or Lord Peacock may be the caped crusader's only hope. So Welcome to Fireside and of course, "Dracarys!"

H E L L O podcast rebrand! I felt limited by the name Bricks & Clicks in that I could only talk about retail and sales.

(Have the s*x) > We don't get to force our partners to be what we want them to be. > There are cycles for everything… and it takes two people that are willing to put in the work and have the difficult conversations in order to make it work.

Throughout September and perhaps October and maybe even November, I'll be interviewing creatives from OZ and hopefully NZ, discussing their love of the arts and the careers they're carving out of this love and anything in between. So Welcome to the Diary of a Creative series. To kick things off I caught up with a legendary Melbournian of proud Greek heritage and possibly mythical origins, director and filmmaker at Visible Studios, Nick Kozakis. We chat about the herculean accomplishment of the Tones And I 'Dance Monkey' music clip which since it's initial release to youtube on Jun 25, 2019 has amassed over 1.6 billion views. Nick teases at the VSMVU (Visible Studio Music Video Universe) he's creating with Masked Wolf (aka Harry Michael) and he shares some exciting updates about his new and upcoming feature 'In God's Care'. Plus he reveals which characters of Futurama share a characteristic resemblance with him and his misfit crew of creatives at Visible Studios.

We are back, and better than ever. The Business of Becoming is shifting to seasons so we can ensure that we have the time to bring to you the best content, expert guests, and add a bit of time between episodes, to improve the caliber of each show. So WELCOME! To the first season of the Business of Becoming! I am kick-starting this season with a celebration - In 2011, I launched my first ever online workshop, so this year marks my 10th year online! Believe me when I tell you that it has been one of the wildest rides of my life, and I want to share with you the top 10 lessons (plus a bonus one) that I have learned from being online.  But that's not all. I am also taking this celebration over to Instagram, where for the next 10 days we are going to be giving away 5 fabulous prizes from Canadian based companies. Want to be entered into the draws? Yah you do! Keep an eye out for our “Giveaway” posts on Instagram, from January 4th - 15th! Make sure you hit that follow button.  Alright, so without further ado, let's dive into today's show. My top 10 lessons that I have learned while being online.    Lesson # 1: You don't start with your dream business  With everything that you see on social media, and what you see other businesses showing online, you might think that you can just walk in and start your dream business. I know I did. I thought everything would be perfect and smooth sailing when I started my nutrition practice, and then I was delusional again when I took my business online. There is no possible way that you can create your dream business in the first 1-3 years, unless you've already built the exact same business before and you're replicating it.  When you are starting, you have no idea what your zone of genius actually is, what you are obsessed with, what feels fun and fulfilling and what you need to stop doing. You do not have the failures, the learning curves, and you have not figured out your footing to instantly have your dream business. You don't start out with your dream business-- you need to build it.  Lesson # 2: New level. New devil. Now I don't say this often, but I couldn't find anything else to describe this lesson. The lesson is: at every level there are challenges, and quite honestly, the bigger the company gets the more there is at stake.  Every time your company adds on more clients, adds on more employees, and gets to the next rung of financial growth - you enter into a new level of challenges. At one point, I decided that I needed to reframe my thoughts from focusing on the stress of each new challenge, and focus on growth, so that I wouldn't be so triggered.  I reframed my mindset like this: I am here for growth. Growth looks like being stretched and pulled and called to be a version of yourself that continuously rises to the challenge, even when you don't feel like it. I am here to become the best possible version of me… I guess it comes down to what you believe your purpose on this planet is.  I believe that my purpose is to live up to my fullest potential and if I truly believe that, then how would I know what my fullest potential is if I'm not being challenged to rise up?   So believe me when I say, there is not part of your business journey that is without its challenges, so it's up to you whether you decide to look at them as positive or negative.  When a challenge occurs, I like to say, ok, right, got it, I asked for this so ok… thank you.  Lesson # 3: Sacrifice is a necessity  I think the word sacrifice has a negative connotation for entrepreneurs, especially those of us who might operate under specific cultural norms, have families, and/or have loads of personal responsibilities. However, although I gave up a lot of things to get to where I am today, it was a deliberate and conscious choice. I gave up certain social things, time with friends and family, time with my kids, alone time, and even self-care. I did it in order to gain the life I desired to live.  If you get the chance to read “Pick Three” by Randi Zuckerberg, I highly recommend it. The concept behind Pick Three has changed the way I felt about my choices. In her book, she outlines 5 areas we focus on: work, sleep, family, fitness and friends. She says to pick 3. At different points in my business journey, my life looked like; family, work, and work. At other times it looked like; work, family and sleep. Now it's; family, sleep and work.  My choices are deliberate. They are not because I feel like I have to, they are because I want to. So if you're feeling resentful about the amount of time you're spending on your work, make a different choice and realize the consequences of that choice. Are you ok with them? If the answer is yes then there is no need to feel like you're sacrificing anything because you've made a deliberate choice.  Lesson # 4: Permission to stop/kill revenue streams Nothing in business is finite and as the business owner, we get to decide what we offer, what we price it at, and for how long we offer it. I remember the day when I realized that I didn't have to continue to offer something just because I had it or just because it made me money or just because people liked it.  More importantly than that stream of revenue, for me, is the need for me to feel excited about my business and to want to wake up at 5am daily to grind. I have to feel obsessed and love every single thing I put out into the world. I realize that not all business owners operate in this fashion,  but I do. Lesson # 5: Permission to change your mind  Ok, this lesson is important and it's the one thing about me that I think might frustrate some of the people on my team...I change my mind. A lot.  And I've learned over the years that it's my right as the founder, CEO and leader to do so even when others don't understand or feel frustrated by it.  I have a lot of ideas and sometimes those ideas turn into project plans and those project plans turn into offers that we release and sometimes those project plans get killed halfway through because I realize that either whatever we're doing isn't the path of least resistance or frankly, it just isn't worth the effort or because we took on too much and now we're overextended and something has to go.  All of the reasons are ok.  Hear me out on this, it's your business and there is no need to stay stuck with a decision just because you're afraid of the consequences of changing your mind.  Lesson # 6: Hire team members before you need them  Let me ask you a question. What is your time worth? I'm serious. Do you know what your hourly rate is? If your time is worth $150 and you want to increase that to $300 and then $1,000, then why are you doing tasks that you can pay someone $20 to do?  Back in the day when I would complain that I couldn't get everything done, and that I had no time, my business coach asked me to assess my hourly rate. I was mortified. I was doing $15 dollar an hour tasks instead of allocating the time to do the things that earned me $150 or $300 an hour.  So I started to hire people and that's when everything changed.  Look, did I have the money to hire people? Nope. I often paid myself less so that I could pay their invoices. That's why sites like Upwork and Fiverr are amazing because you can use a credit card, which is what I did.  I hired a tech person. I hired a virtual assistant to help me create and schedule content. Then I hired Michelle who is now the COO of the company, but back then she did 100 different jobs.  I had no idea how to be a boss. And quite honestly transforming into a CEO has been one of my greatest challenges. Giving up control and giving up a lot of the day to day stuff that made me feel productive, was hard. And necessary.  If you want the business to get ahead, then you need to build a team to help you do that.  Lesson # 7: Track your metrics and use them to make decisions Metrics. For years I ran my business based on the number in my bank account which is good because it meant I was always in the black when it came to cash flow but it didn't allow me to project future growth and sometimes the decisions I made were a gamble because I didn't have metrics to back those decisions.  I'm going to be fully transparent here, we didn't start tracking metrics until 3 years ago and it wasn't until 2 years ago that we got really granular about it. We still want more data to help us know where to focus our energy.  But now we don't gamble. We measure and make decisions based on metrics, on our core values, and how we want to feel. If you don't track your metrics, you won't know where to focus nor will you feel confident making decisions that predict the future growth of your business.  Lesson # 8: Reach for failure. Oh this might be the best lesson of them all. I have failed my way to having an 8-figure company... Let me explain.  In Nov. 2019, I sat in a room with other business owners and shared that I wanted my business to make 1 million dollars more than it did the previous year. I thought that was a big goal.  The mentor leading the session asked me why my goal was so low given the fact that I've doubled my revenue every year since I started. The only reason why I said 1 million more, was because the number that would be double felt massive and totally out of reach. It felt too big and not achievable.  He asked me why I was playing it safe? Wouldn't I rather reach for the bigger number, even if I didn't hit it, I'd finish the year way farther ahead then if I only reached for that 1 million more. Why am I playing it so safe? That's the question that got me. I don't play anything safe. I am here for growth and the only way to grow is to fail. I've come to learn that growth is a bunch of failures turned into lessons that you accumulate along the way.  If I stay small and play it safe, I can't fail. But then I don't really get the big wins either. I've been able to reframe failure. I have failed so many times on my way to building a global 8-figure company… and I am damn proud of it.  Here's what I know for sure. It's in the ‘failures' that we learn. We don't learn much when things go smoothly. I am here for growth and that means reaching for failure.  Lesson # 9: Celebrate often  This lesson is meant more as a reminder to me than anything else. I don't celebrate my success and growth nearly enough. My highest strength is that of an achiever which means I rarely feel satisfied. Hitting goals doesn't feel fulfilling to me. I don't get excited by the goal, I get excited by the chase of the goal.  The challenge of the goal is what excites me. Because I know that the challenge of achieving the next thing is where I grow and it's where I feel the most productive.  I excel at achievement. But I don't celebrate my achievements, because crossing the finish line and getting the medal isn't what motivates me. It's running the race but I acknowledge that for my team, my community and even for my kids, it's important to stop and celebrate the win.  This might sound ridiculous but I've added celebration meetings into my calendar for 2021. At the end of the month I am going to have a date with myself and do something celebratory. I scheduled 30 minutes. I'm going to make a list of all of my accomplishments for the month and things I feel proud about. I will celebrate and feel the accomplishment and then I'll get back to work. You might think, 30 minutes, that's not very long. Considering I barely do this now, adding in a new practice is what matters, doing it is what matters.... It doesn't take me long to feel grateful and proud. It's the act of doing it that counts.  Lesson # 10: Always the path of least resistance I saved the best for last. This is my life motto.  If whatever I'm doing or feeling doesn't feel like the path of least resistance, I don't do it or I find another way.  Now to clarify, do I feel internal resistance like fear and how do I know the difference? I feel the difference in my gut. Resistance, like doing something outside of my comfort zone, feels like nervous tension in my body, it feels exciting and makes me sweat. It makes me feel vulnerable. When I feel that, I know I'm onto something and I don't stop or give up. That is not the resistance I am talking about. The resistance I am talking about feels more like frustration, stress, annoyance, anger.  When I feel those things, I have learned not to push through, to assess the situation and make decisions based on asking myself…. How would this go if it felt easy? What would this look like if it were easy? When I ask myself that question, then it opens up so many other possibilities or alternatives to what I could do instead of it feeling hard, stressful and annoying.  I don't have enough energy units in my day to feel like I'm constantly battling resistance. I chose for things to be resistance free, so my boundaries are set that way and so are my expectations.  I expect everything to feel simple and easy. When it's not, it's up to me to decide how to proceed to ensure that the path of least resistance is being taken.  Right after I finished these 10 lessons, I knew that I needed to share one more... And it is so meaningful to me, that it feels like the perfect added bonus. Bonus Lesson: Lesson # 11: Learn to love yourself and accept yourself for exactly who you are. Learn to love yourself and accept yourself for exactly who you are. I might tear up when I explain this one.  For so many years, I didn't accept my strengths, I viewed them as flaws… I'm too much. I'm intimidating. I'm too sensitive. I change my mind too much. I don't pay attention to details.  I have very strong beliefs and am not afraid to share them.  I'm too bossy.  I'm too strong willed. Too ambitious. Too determined.  I'm too quick to act. I'm rarely satisfied.  My dreams are too big.  I'm too unrealistic.  Basically, I'm too much of a lot of things for a lot of people.  All of those things that others have told me I'm too much of are precisely the strengths that have gotten me to where I am today. I am turning 40 this year, I am in the top 2% of female owned businesses in Canada, I own multiple properties, I am financially stable and basically set. I have 3 companies that all generate a healthy profit. I am happily divorced. I am a present mom. I am a good person. I give back to my community. I help a lot of people. I lead with integrity.  Not in spite of those supposed character flaws but because of them. Because I've done the work to love and accept myself. Other people's opinions are not my concern. Sure, they are entitled to them and depending on who they are I will listen and do an inventory to see if their opinion carries weight with me but ultimately, the most important lesson I've learned over the years is that I am who I am and my flaws are actually strengths and I wouldn't be where I am without those aspects of who I am.  So the next time someone says to you, you're so whatever in a passive aggressive way-- say thank you. And smile knowing that you are a total badass.  Ok, now I'm done.  Now I would love to hear from you, head over to Instagram, I'm at @lorikennedyinc and hit that follow button.

So Welcome to episode 8! This week I'm excited to share a conversation about the power of plant medicine with Marta Wanderlust, space holder, spiritual mentor, Yoga teacher and a Breathwork facilitator. I've long been intrigued by ayahuasca, listening to friends, watching documentaries wondering if the opportunity arose if I'd feel called to try it. Ayahuasca's appeal has become widespread over the last 10 -15 years and now you don't have to travel to source to experience it - you can find ceremonies in your neighbourhood, in apartments in London and New York but you also hear a lot of negative stories of people feeling blown open, even traumatised and questioning their desire to try it in the first place. Marta shares her experiences living in the Amazon jungle and the High Andes, working with the Shipibo people and plant medicine, and being immersed in community. She brings rich context the power of plant medicine, its history, its place in amazonian shamanism and how the importance of being held in a safe container with experienced practitioners, either directly or directly from the communities - with which it holds its roots. Its a fascinating conversation about healing, self awareness, and Marta has such reverence and respect for the medicine. I'm still not sure if its for me - but I definitely feel I can make an informed decision and understand the care necessary in the preparation before and the integration afterwards! Marta also opens up about her own journey and how plant medicine has help her heal from trauma and addiction - and how it has helped her to guide others on the healing path. Enjoy!

Welcome back to the Leader of the Pax podcast! I’m your host, Dr. Nikki Sammet and MAN have I missed you guys!  For those who are new I ended season 1 of this amazing show to go have a baby! My son Jake is now almost 6 months old and I’ve just stepped back into my office after my self imposed maternity leave. I knew I was going to change when becoming a mother but I didn’t really know how. I may have shared my worry about balancing a career and motherhood and I can honestly say that it’s HARD but absolutely do-able. Also- I couldn’t have imagined a global pandemic occurring when I left the show back in February. How are you guys doing out there? I know it’s been a lot to digest and it feels like everyday a new thing is happening. 2020 sure has been eventful. Walking into motherhood and into a pandemic has been quite the ride. I’ve had my ups and downs as I'm sure you have as well. Lately, I’ve been “unbecoming” working on unraveling parts of me that are no longer fitting with where I currently am at. I’m in the middle of a mindset reset challenge like I did last year and I’m learning SO freaking much about myself. I will absolutely do a solo episode on how you can do your own mindset reset retreat too! But, today I wanted to update you with both where this podcast is going and a little about me and what's new. First, Hi! If we’ve never met, I’m a psychologist, mindset coach for female mompreneurs and host this podcast where I provide a space for experts in their field and female business owners to share their success stories and life lessons, expertise and then take details to help my clients AND YOU!! I’ve done a ton of things that have led me to my own business and I use those experiences to help other people. In the past few years I’ve been a brand consultant, social media manager, social influencer, and done some corporate speaking about my doctoral research. I studied how social media impacts millennial women and now I’m using it to help individuals with personal branding and staying mindful and authentic in the creative process.  The topics that I mostly talk about on this show are entrepreneurism, motherhood, and mindset/mental wellness.  This will be continuing on this podcast and I’ll be diving even deeper into the #mamapreneur world as I believe it to be of the utmost importance to empower women to turn their passions into profit- especially in today’s climate. Yesterday, I read an article about more working mom’s having to leave the workforce because of school closures, lack of daycare, and layoffs due to COVID. I’m sure this is so upsetting for those it’s affected. Even stay at home moms are working significant overtime now with adding “teacher” on their resume. If you are interested or have ever thought about working for yourself, I’d be happy to offer guidance on turning your passion(s) into profit by leveraging social media.I’ve always known I didn’t want to depend on an employer to dictate my career. So we will be talking about the steps you can be taking to step into your power as an entrepreneur if that is something you are interested in doing!If taking on the business owner title isn’t part of your dream plan you might have other things you’re interested in pursuing. My goal is that you use this podcast as inspiration and the push you need to make your passions a reality. because I solely believe that a more fulfilled mama is a happier mama (and person all around. You may have noticed that the Leader of the Pax podcast has been rebranded! So WELCOME to my new show- What Nik Knows! The guests we have on this show are experts in their field or business owners so I am always learning new information. From there I take what I learn and then teach you! So my hope is that you’ll tune into these episodes getting education and strategy as well as inspiration from what I know and share with you! I like to think of myself as a source of information and a connector. I’ve always loved being a teacher and researching everything about everything. So there you go- What Nik Knows.  Additionally, I wanted to share something that is very important to me to create an inclusive experience so we will be learning and listening to stories from those with diverse backgrounds. In other news, I want to send an invite out to all the mamas!  Back in January, I started a Facebook group called, becoming mama & beyond,  for my prenatal yoga group - just a way for us to stay in touch as we were all having babies and losing touch. But it ended up evolving into so much more! It has been a saving grace for me these past 6 months (and during my pregnancy). After countless conversations with other moms and reading through hundreds of Instagram posts that shared overwhelm, comparison to other moms, and feeling lost, I felt called to provide a sanctuary for mamas to thrive. It was clear that these amazing mamas (including myself) were seeking a community of strong supportive women. My original hope was to do this in person, but with a crazy virus lurking around, social media was the place for me to connect with others. With all that said, I decided to expand my FB group to outside my prenatal group of girls back in May. And we now have over 250 members!! My hope is that we can create a collaborative community and kick comparisons out the window! All I want is for other moms to feel like they are supported and empowered as they grow into themselves as mothers and beyond. Soon I will be creating an entire online platform and membership for this incredible community so if you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or beyond you are cordially welcome to join that group! I believe it to be my sole purpose to support other moms and women in general in their journey and beyond! Well that’s a quick recap on me and what’s next on the show. We have a freaking rockstar list of female founders coming in the following episodes! I can’t wait to hear what you think! Make sure to take a screenshot when you’re listening, tag me on instagram, so that way we can connect even more! Alright y’all, see ya in there. Ciao!

One of the fascinating characteristics of Talmudic debate and discussion is that it does not distinguish between the material and the spiritual; between the rote and the extraordinary—everything is attended to by the discourse, the give and take, of the Sages. This week's daf is a prime example of a sugya/a discussion which centers and lifts up the seemingly mundane aspects of life from the dung that is used to soften leather to the thin slice of cake resting and rotting on the window pane. If this does not whet your appetite for some Talmud study I know not what will.So … Welcome! Pour your favorite beverage, get your favorite snack, put your feet up, and let's jump into the milkhamta shel torah/the struggle of Torah study.This week's daf can be found:1. Vilna page (hebrew and aramaic) from Hebrewbooks.org2. Hebrew and English from Sefaria.org3. Hebrew and Aramaic with many commentaries from Alhatorah.org

How do I start a business if I have a family? I have a house, a family, and responsibilities. Can I still become an entrepreneur? We tackle these questions with the Entrepreneur Travis Lee - who outlines the 4 QUICKENINGS necessary for long-term success in Entrepreneurship.

Nicola Cairncross received a big blow this week as Facebook disabled her ad account, but after the initial shock, she's working to resolve the issues whilst keeping her mind on a tight leash! Clicks And Leads is a "tongue in cheek" digital marketing Vzine by entrepreneur, author, podcaster, speaker, Nicola Cairncross. Mentioned in the Vzine Be Everywhere Online - 30 Day Challenge Facebook Ads Policies Own It!

So Welcome to the Vzine, and it's been quite an interesting week, I've had a real body blow to my business this week, and I'm gonna talk about that in the middle section so yeah I just wanted to just let you know what a glorious day it is here, I hope the weather's improving in England, and I'm looking to keep these beginning and end bits a bit short now because I wanted to keep these videos under 10 minutes so they can get on to Linkedin as well. My whole family got together without me this week. It was quite a quite a tug on the old heartstrings, I can tell you. They Facetimed me from my nephew Spud's 21st birthday celebration so they were all having a great time together in Brighton and it's at these times  you just have to really remember why you're doing what you're doing, why you're living where you're living, and the fact that you can go and see your loved ones anytime. It's not that by living in a different country that you're exiled and you can't go back, in fact I'm going back within the next four weeks, so I'm really looking forward to that. Let's get on with the show, shall we? Okay, so I said I was gonna tell you about the body blow that my businesses had this week, I'm right smack bang in the middle of my 30 Day Challenge, "How to be a everywhere online" and it's going really well. I've got about 70 to 80 people going through that at the moment, and one day this week I recorded the segment where I was showing people how to set up their own Facebook ad campaigns, to boost their video content that they've just created and now I've got to say that they're making some great video content too, I'm really proud of them. Anyway next day I open my own ad account, and find it's been disabled! Facebook had suddenly taken an objection to me after a whole year of perfect advertising. And not only that, they have said, "This ad is disapproved", they've closed my account. Well, I'm not taking that for an answer because apparently you can get your accounts undisabled if you don't argue with them, that's the main thing, and then you go and try and find out what's wrong. Now there were two or three things that could be wrong. I had an exit pop, which was a Messenger exit pop so I thought it would be okay, and I thought exit pops were okay but I'm still not sure if they are or not, and I'm living in a different country most of the time so my payment method is housed in a different country than the one I currently reside in, and that could be a problem. The main problems turned out to be though, they don't like my business model anymore. Now we all know what this is about, it's basically Facebook trying to free up some more space for advertisers, so they're making swinging cuts on people whose business model or adverts might be a little bit borderline for them. I keep very very up to date with their Facebook terms and conditions of advertising you can imagine that, but what I hadn't done was looked at my website recently and one of the two things they don't like, was very evident on my website. One was that I was making time-bound claims, because I was saying "Be everywhere online in under 20 minutes a week." Now while that is actually factually true, because if you outsource most of it you can just take 20 minut...

It’s spring! Tulips are poking their heads out of the melting snow and athletes are lacing up their shoes to get active. But wait–not so fast. April is also the beginning of ozone season!

It’s Winter Solstice as we record this! So Welcome all to Episode 92 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! You’re officially riding the hypnotic storm… This is how we do it…this is how we do it Downtown! The word for the year is Onward! So let’s get moving… Check out the show notes below while you’re listening. Keep sending us topic suggestions and show feedback. We love hearing from all of you! Here are the show notes from this episode: Mike begins by telling the story of how he nearly went bowling with Jim Carrey! This is how we do it…this is how we do it Downtown! It’s a great line, Chris! What’s the One Word for 2018? Mike’s is Onward! Chris’ One Word is Management…Self-management, life-management, etc. Let’s switch on that Reticular Activating System, folks! Mike’s word used to be Alacrity. Now it’s definitely ONWARD! Mike calls Chris’ wife and daughters Zithromax, Rendlesham and Cytobobula, which is fantastically funny. Chris completely ignores everything except the antibiotic reference, leaving Mike to solely enjoy his own humour. Our business is expanding…and our new words are needed… Mike is the worst multi-tasker in the world! But he admits it so it’s okay! Chris has to treat Mike like a brilliant 5-year-old! He does it with good management skills! What is your word for 2018? Get it nailed down now while there’s still time. Don’t pick a word like Insomnia or Cancer! Chris is way too strong and fit and has set the bar way too high for us mortal beings… Now for the Mail Bag of Edward the Confessor… Chris tells us what trainings are coming up in 2018…see our events page. Tom from Washington asks critical questions about pressit the blotz! Mike answers Tom. It’s a lot like the Branson Protocol! Mike answers vitally important questions about Santa, Doctor Who and the Tardis. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the globe with a 30-foot cutter! Mark in Indiana asks if Mike has ever read scripts at people, and the answer is NO. Mike started on stage doing hypnosis and mentalism where no scripts were needed. Mike’s education is Earl Beatty Public School, Wexford Public School, and Wexford Collegiate Institute (which he didn’t graduate from!) Mike’s biggest mistakes were onstage in the early days…What’s needed and what’s just theatre? Do shows and you’ll find out… Always have a Plan B. Make sure you have a bail-out if needed… Michael C. Anthony is brilliant at bailing out from horrible events…He uses mentalism and magic as his Plan B. Hypnosis for alcoholism or excess drinking: Mike and Chris answer questions about Derek Balmer‘s method for turning alcoholics into social drinkers. Beware of labels! They affect you at the level of Identity and can really screw you up if they’re disempowering. Mike refers to the time he knocked out a drunk with a right cross on a hayride. Chris gets the time of year wrong. When someone falls off the wagon, it can be devastating; depending on how they frame it. Chris makes a clever comparison of neglecting to take the garbage out and then generalizes it to everything his wife asks him to do! Mike refers to a tabloid article about how a third of women’s husbands are actually space aliens. It’s actually very few of them. Don’t prescribe. Don’t diagnose! Don’t treat for any specific disease! Retro-Avoidance Ego States prevent Vaded Ego States from becoming Executive! Mike really enjoys yelling “Hurrah!” What would you like to have happen? Mike thinks it’s essential to treat the pain or trauma the client is carrying… Commercial Break:  Life’s Abrupt End Morticians, and The Shyzzjigg Corporation Is Graphology scientific? Resentment…procrastination…over 200 traits show? Statistically significant. It’s a soft-science and a subset of psychology. (Thanks, Chris!) Graphotherapy really can change your personality! It’s not the hand that writes; it’s the brain! Change the handwriting and change your life! Dave in Florida asks about MINDSCAPING at the end of a hypnosis session. Can it be used to check your work? Yes! MINDSCAPING has a built-in check for ecology. Always Future Pace clients before letting them go home. Chris ties in the Elman Induction with Dave’s question. MINDSCAPING can be a covert check on the work that’s been done! Mike sneaks in a Guinea Pig Laugh. What do you do if you have to cough? Mike mentions Himalayan Salt Pipes to clear the lungs. But we aren’t telling you to do this… Empowering Question: What will I begin to do today to ensure that 2018 will be the most awesome and productive year I’ve ever had? Empowering Metaphor: The Dyatlov Pass Incident Ending: Dave Ambrose from the 25th Dimension!

Många hyr idag rum eller lägenheter via airbnb när de är på semester. Den populära uthyrningssajten där privatpersoner kan hyra av andra privatpersoner runt om i världen. Men gäller det här för alla? Betalar du med kreditkort? En eller två personer i rummet? Två. Här är nyckeln. Frukosten är i frysen, brödet hänger vi på dörren.( You pay with your credit card? Will you have one or two persons in the room? Two. This is the key.­ The breakfast in the fridge, the bread on the door.)Det här är Tim Davis, han har just landat efter flygresan från USA och checkar in på det här hotellet i en förort i södra Stockholm.Tim är systemutvecklare och DJ. Han bor i vanliga fall på Manhattan i New York men reser över hela världen för att spela på klubbar. Han har just kommit från Arlanda. Det här är första gången som han besöker Sverige. I kväll ska han spela på en klubb på Östermalm.Hotellet som vi är på håller på att renoveras, överallt är byggnadsställningar och färgburkar, det ser mest ut som en byggarbetsplats. Det var inte så här han hade tänkt sig att bo. Han hade tänkt hyra en hel lägenhet i centrala Stockholm via bokningstjänsten Airbnb. Jag brukar på vandrarhem när jag reser, men bestämde mig för att göra något annorlunda. Jag kollade inte efter vandrarhem i Sverige, utan vill pröva Airbnb. Jag tyckte det var en bra idé att spara lite pengar och få en hel lägenhet för samma pris som ett hotell, säger Tim Davis.( I usually stay as hostels when I travel, but decided to try something different, I didnt look at hostels for Sweden, I wanted to try Airbnb. I thought it was a good idea to save some money and get a full apartment for the same price as the hotel.)Airbnb är en webbaserad tjänst där privatpersoner kan hyra rum eller hela hem av andra privatpersoner runt om i världen. De som vill hyra eller hyra ut skapar en profil med bild och namn på sidan.Det snabbt växande förtaget Airbnb finns idag i 191 länder och har över två miljoner boenden att erbjuda. Det betyder att företaget är har betydligt fler rum och finns på fler platser än världens största hotellkedja Marriott."Efter ett tag började jag se ett mönster"Det finns flera liknande tjänster, men ingen av konkurrenterna är i närheten av Airbnbs storlek. I Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö har uthyrningen ökat explosionsartat de senaste åren. I Sverige finns idag över 13 000 värdar.Airbnb erbjuder dig att boka boenden från lokala värdar och upplev en plats som om du verkligen bodde där. Men gäller det här erbjudandet för alla?Vad händer när vi med hjälp av namn och bild får välja vem som ska hyra vår lägenhet eller utföra tjänster i vårt hem? Hur spelar fördomar in när företag som Airbnb låter privatpersoner låna eller hyra saker av varandra?Är den här nya hyllade delningsekonomin lika öppen för alla?I dag handlar Kaliber om Tim som inte lyckades boka en lägenhet i Stockholm, om Kristen som stötte på problem i Argentina och om svenska Sara som lever i Sverige men ständigt tvingas fundera över om hon utsätts för diskriminering. Vi kommer att undersöka den här frågan både här i Sverige och i USA där tjänsten startades.Hemma i New York hyr Tim Davis ut ett rum i sin lägenhet via Airbnb till turister från hela världen och i somras skulle han alltså själv testa tjänsten i Stockholm. Men i Stockholm fick jag bara nej, folk som sa att datumen inte var tillgängliga, att de skulle åka nästa dag, säger Tim Davis.( But in Stockholm I was just getting a lot of people who said that the dates was not available, that they were leaving the next day.)När man kontaktar en värd har de flesta värdar möjlighet att välja om man vill erbjuda sitt hem eller inte till den som frågar och alla Tim kontaktade avböjde hans förfrågan och sa att det inte var ledigt hos dem.­ Efter ett tag började jag se ett mönster. Jag skickade ut 15 olika förfrågningar och alla sa nej, men jag noterade också att datumen fortfarande var kvar på webbsidan.( After a while I was starting to see a pattern, I was sending out 15 different requests, and all of them were declined. But I also noticed that the dates were opened at the website.)Efter att ha kontaktat 15 värdar på Airbnb men blivit avböjd av alla började Tim undra vad det var frågan om. Men han såg även att flera värdar lät lägenheterna ligga kvar på webbsidan som lediga. Tim Davis började misstänka att anledningen till att alla värdar nekade honom att hyra var hans hudfärg. Jag har aldrig varit i Sverige, så jag började undersöka: är det okej att åka dit? Kommer det bli problem? Kommer det bli ett stort problem för mig att vara där som är svart man?( I have never been to Sweden and so I started to researching: is it ok to go there? Is it, are there going to be problems? Is there going to be a big problem for me to be there as a black man?  )   Han började undra om det är säkert för honom som en svart man att besöka Sverige. Som svart man i USA upplever du någon form av rasism varje dag, så du blir hårdhudad, och jag brukar inte låta mig påverkas av det här, säger Tim Davis, annars kan du aldrig njuta av livet.( As a black man living in America you almost experienced some level of racism almost every day, so you almost get a thick skin for it so if you let it get you down, then you will never enjoy life.) Men det lämnar en dålig eftersmak. Du är en person med goda intentioner, du vet att du är en DJ, du tycker det ska kul att åka, och så får du inget varmt välkomnande av Airbnb.( But it does leave a bad taste in your mouth, you are a person with a good intention, you know you are a DJ, you are excited to come, and you are not getting such a warm welcome from Airbnb.)Men hur kan Tim Davis vara så säker på att det handlar om rasism, det kan ju vara något annat som gör att ingen vill hyra ut sin bostad till honom?Vi bestämmer oss för att testa själva. Påverkar din hudfärg din möjlighet att hyra?Vi får hjälp av totalt sju personer, både män och kvinnor, som lånar ut sina Airbnb-konton till oss eller låter oss skapa nya konton i deras namn. En av dem är Sara, som är 25 år, utbildad undersköterska och bor i Stockholm. Så här förklarar hon varför hon vill hjälpa oss. För att jag bär på en kropp som svart kvinna och jag stöter på olika händelser i mitt liv och jag vill kunna se om det här också är någonting som stämmer in på just det här scenariot då.Har du någon gång känt dig, misstänkt, trott, vetat att du blir diskriminerad? ­ Ja det har hänt några gånger att man får glåpord skriket efter sig på stan att det är någon som kommer fram och puttar på en bara man står vid perrongen, eller det kan vara blickar, sådana grejer liksom.  T ex om man går i affären och det är ngn efter en som sådana grejer kan man inte ta på, om jag ska handla smink eller kläder. Någon går bakom en.Vad händer i dig när sådana saker händer? Man känner sig förminskad först och främst, man känner sig att man får ta ett ansvar, man får aldrig liksom vara en enskild individ, man bestraffas som ett kollektiv fast man är en person och man får ta alla andras fördomar om en folkgrupp, man får aldrig vara en enskild individ, det tycker jag är tufft.Under tiden vi gör det här testet så åker vi till USA för där har den här frågan fått mycket uppmärksamhet i år.Vi kontaktar en värd i New York via Airbnb, och vi får ja direkt. När vi har landat tar vi taxi till adressen som vi fick på sms.Vi ska bo hemma hos Andrew på Manhattan. Vi har betalt via bokningssajten, men pengarna får Andrew via Airbnb först 24 timmar efter att vi checkat in utan att vi anmält några problem. Det är bra pengar helt enkelt. Nu står vi på en trottoar och väntar på en man vi aldrig träffat, men som vi ska dela lägenhet med den här veckan. Det känns lite nervöst, trots att vi har sett på tidigare gästers recensioner av det här boendet att alla som bott här verkar supernöjda. Vi har skickat sms att vi är på plats.  Ledsen att jag är sen.Inga problem! Hur är läget?Bra. Har ni väntat länge?Nej, bara fem minuter.( Sorry Im lateNo problemHow is it going? Where you here long? Only five minutes)Andrew tar oss med in genom en tung plåtdörr full med klotter in i en trång hall och upp för två branta trappor. Vi kommer in i lägenheten med två sovrum. Lägenheten är inredd med tunga creméfärgade sammetsgardiner och antika möbler. I ett kök i med träluckor och lantlig känsla står alla tänkbara köksmaskiner. Välkomna! Det här är ert rum, det här är sköldpaddornas. Bry er inte om dem, säger Andrew.( So Welcome, obviously this is your room, this is the turtles dont mind them.)I det ena rummet sover han och det andra ska vi sova. Jag ska visa lite i rummet först. Lamporna har dimmer. Här finns en make up-spegel och här är handdukar. Luftkonditioneringen kan ni stänga av och på.( Ill show you your room first so there is these two lamps and then there is sealing light in behind there, its a dimmer. There is a makeup mirror and there is towels in there.The air-condition you can turn it off and on.)Andrew visar oss runt i lägenheten och berättar allt fungerar. Han säger att han har hyrt ut ett rum i sin lägenhet på det här sättet i drygt ett år. Varje vecka kommer det nya personer från hela världen hit och han verkar älska det. Alla som kommer hit är på sitt allra bästa humor och är verkligen uppspelta över att vara i New York, så det är mycket kul och ger energi med alla de här människorna från hela världen omkring sig.( Everybody is on their best behavior they are really exited to be in New York so its a lot of fun in sense of the energy  it brings into your life and then you meet all of these exciting people around the world that invites you to come  and stay with them.)Men så tjänar han också en hel del pengar på detta. Det är bra pengar helt enkelt.( The financial reward for doing this is significal.)Hans hyra på 2 800 dollar, d v s ungefär 24 000 kr i månaden betalas helt av uthyrningsverksamheten. Dessutom går han motsvarande drygt 10 000 kr plus varje månad. Jag gör 4000 dollar i månaden, så det är nästan 50 000 dollar per år, säger Andrew.( Its 4000 a month basically, is how much I am making, so thats almost 50 000 dollar a year.)50 000 dollar alltså runt 420 000 kronor per år säger Andrew att han tjänar på att hyra ut ett rum i sin lägenhet på Manhattan. Då är det kanske inte så svårt att förstå varför Airbnb har blivit så stort i New York. Men det har även skapat en hel del debatt, om att riktiga jobb hotas inom hotellindustrin och om att bostadsbristen i stan påverkas av att folk hyr ut så här till turister istället för till folk som verkligen behöver någonstans att bo.I Berlin förbjöd man nyligen korttidsuthyrning av hela lägenheter. Och så fungerar det även här i New York. Därför har vi valt den här lösningen - att hyra ett rum hos en person som bor kvar i lägenheten. Men trots att det är olagligt finns tusentals hela lägenheter att välja på när vi tittar runt bland objekten på sajten.Så vi bor alltså lagligt. Men Andrew som vi bor hos, han har inte tillstånd från sin hyresvärd att hyra ut så här, så om det kommer fram kan han förlora sitt hyreskontrakt. Därför vill han inte att vi använder hans riktiga namn i det här reportaget. Bara några kvarter från Andrews lägenheten bor Tim Davis som upplevde sig diskriminerad i Stockholm och som vi träffade i somras. Vi går dit för att höra hur han bodde under resten av sin Europa-turné. Hej!Hallå! Hej Maria, trevligt att träffas.( Hi!Hello!­ Maria hello, nice to meet you. )Han bor i en lägenhet på 24:e våningen med en fantastisk utsikt över Manhattan. Det här är förmodligen den bästa utsikten i världen!Ja, vilken utsikt!(This might be the place with the best view in the world!Yeah!What a view!How are you?Good!)Tim, som går under artistnamnet DJ Justice spelar några av sina favoritmixar för oss.Han har just kommit hem ifrån Europa där han har bland annat spelat på klubbar i Amsterdam, Berlin och Ibiza. Men då valde att bo hotell, säger han. Efter problemen som han haft med Airbnb i Sverige ville han inte riskera att bli nekad boende igen. Jag kunde inte ta det, att någon skulle säga att de här datumen inte var lediga när jag redan var på väg. Så jag bokar hotell, ger dem mitt kreditkortsnummer, kommer dit, får nyckeln. Det är väldigt förutsägbart, men det var så jag gjorde under hela min resa.( I couldnt deal with any type of discrimination, that somebody said, no these dates are not available because I was already on my way there. So I book a hotel, give them my credit card, show up, they give you the key, it is all very predictable, so I did it under my whole journey.) Tim Davies historia är inte unik och faktum är att det till och med forskats om i fall värdarnas uppfattning om gästens etnicitet kan påverka möjligheten att få hyra rum eller lägenhet via Airbnb."Airbnb har designat sin plattform så att diskriminering möjlig"Forskaren Ben Edelman, har tillsammans med några kollegor på Harvard Universitetet i Boston, gjort en studie som visar att det är lättare att få hyra rum och lägenhet via Airbnb om värden tror att man är vit. Forskarna skapade över 6 000 låtsaskonton utan foton, men med namn som är stereotypa för svarta eller vita i USA. Testet visade att förfrågningarna från konton med typiskt afro-amerikanska namn hade 16 procent svårare att få hyra rum eller lägenhet via Airbnb. En siffra som Ben Edelman menar skulle vara 0 procent om du bokade ett hotellrum via en bokningssida på nätet och bara behöver fylla i dina kreditkortuppgifter.­ Airbnb har designat sin plattform så att diskriminering möjlig, eftersom man kräver namn och starkt uppmanar sina användare att ladda upp ett foto på sitt ansikte, säger Ben Edelman, Airbnb har alltså gjort problemet till fakta.( Airbnb has designed its platform in a way that makes discrimination likely. So Airbnb has put this problem into fact, into a fact by creating an environment where guests are required to reveal racial sensitive information.)Efter att Harvardstudien presenterades i december förra året ville Airbnb inte göra någon stor sak av det. Deras svar var i princip att diskriminering, det är ett samhällsproblem som följt med till deras sida.Men under våren och sommaren har allt fler personer i USA börjat dela sina berättelser på bloggar och i sociala medier under hashtaggen Airbnbwhileblack. Där finns berättelser om allt från en konstig känsla till rent rasistiska påhopp från värdar som avbokat gäster med hänvisning till deras hudfärg.I maj i år så stämde 25-åriga Gregory Selden Airbnb efter att han nekats att hyra ett ställe i Philadelphia som han sedan kunde boka med ett fejkat konto med en profilbild av en vit man.Frågan om rasism har blivit ett PR-problem för Airbnb i USA och i somras tog företaget kontakt med experter och knöt flera konsulter till sig för att göra en handlingsplan.En av dom som har fört samtal om detta med Airbnb finns i Washington, så vi åker dit till The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights under Law, som är en medborgarrättsorganisation som grundades av president John F Kennedy på 60-talet och som bland annat jobbar med diskrimineringsfrågor. Vi träffar Kristen Clarke, president på The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights under Law, och hon börjar med att berätta om hur hon själv misstänker att hon utsatts för diskriminering på Airbnb. För två år sen ungefär när jag och min skulle åka till Argentina och Buenos Aires.( About 2 years ago I was taking a trip to Argentina to Buenos Aires.)Gång på gång nekades hon att hyra ställen som fortsatte att annonseras som lediga. Det gjorde mig oroad. Som en medborgarrättsjurist och afro-amerikans kvinna vill jag förvissa mig om att jag behandlas med värdighet.( It made me feel unsettled as a civil rights lawyer and as an Afro-American women I want to make sure that I am treated with dignity.  If I am spending my money somewhere that I am spending it and being respected.)Till slut hittade hon ett ställe att bo på, men hon kunde inte släppa tanken på att hon hade blivit nekad på grund av sin hudfärg. Det måste varit min hudfärg som fick dem att säga nej.( It had to be my race which made them turning me down.)Precis som Tim är hon inte så sugen på att använda Airbnb efter den här erfarenheten.Men borde inte alla ha rätt att själva bestämma vilka som ska komma in i deras hem, frågar jag Kristen Clarke. Alla har ju rätt att bestämma vem som ska komma in i deras hem, till exempel bara studenter eller kvinnor, men i samma ögonblick som du bestämmer dig för att tjäna pengar på det och ingå i delningsekonomin måste man följa lagen, säger hon.( Everybody has the right to decide who they let in to their private home, just women or students but the moment that you decide to profit of that decision and to make money and to enter the sharing economy rules have to apply.) I USA är det medborgarrättslagarna från 60-talet som reglerar att du inte får neka att sälja någon varor eller tjänster på grund av deras hudfärg. I Sverige är det diskrimineringslagstiftningen som reglerar att man inte får missgynna någon på grund av deras hudfärg när man handlar med varor och tjänster.  Vi kan inte ignorera det här. Kampanjen #airbnbwhileblack har satt ljuset på det här problemet. Det är inget isolerat problem. Många svara användare räknar med detta.( Discrimination is not a problem that we should ignore when it rears its ugly head and airbnbwhileblack, the social media campaign that is shining a spotlight on this problem makes clear that this is not an isolated problem. There is many black users who encounters that. ) Kristen Clarke menar att vårens kampanj på sociala medier, #airbnbwhileblack, har effektivt har belyst de problem som Airbnb har med diskriminering, och att Airbnb som ett stort globalt företag borde göra allt de kan för att stoppa detta, menar hon.Det som borde spela roll är ju vad en person säger och vad andra värdar har för erfarenhet av den personen sedan förut. Hon tycker att Airbnb låter fotot och namnet spela för stor roll i uthyrningsprocessen.Men hur gick det då med vårt eget test hemma i Sverige."Tyvärr är det inte ledigt dåVi träffar Sara igen. Hon är en av dem som lånat ut sitt Airbnb konto till oss.Vad tror du att det här testet kommer att visa? Jag vill ju att det här testet kommer att visa att det är lika för alla som handlar på Airbnb men jag tror ju magkänslan säger att jag kommer särbehandlas.Vi har alltså fått låna flera användares Airbnb-konton i Sverige. Kontona innehåller bara namn, bild och bostadsort, men inga tidigare recensioner eller presentationer.Vi började med att använda de svarta personernas konton och frågade 200 Airbnb-värdar i Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö om deras objekt var ledig några specifika datum.Av dem svarade lite mer än hälften ja, här ser vi alltså ingen diskriminering alls.Men resten då de som svarade nej eller inget alls, det är ju de som vi är intresserade av här. Skulle de ha gett en annan person ett annat svar?Vi frågar dem som har svarat nej igen men nu från ett konto som tillhör någon av testpersonerna som är vita, och som är blonda och blåögda - snabbt svarar nästan var tredje ja.Av dem som svarade nej i första omgången, så ändrade sig alltså var tredje person.Slutsatsen vi kan dra i vår undersökning är att problemen med diskriminering på Airbnb tycks finnas även här i Sverige.  Och att det finns en mycket större risk att drabbas av diskriminering på Airbnb jämfört med om man bokar boende på ett hotellrum via en bokningssida som till exempel booking.com eller expedia.com, där du bara behöver ett kontokort.Så här svarade några av värdarna som först sa nej till vår svarta testperson.Nej tyvärr, vänner kommer på besök.Tyvärr kommer vi inte att vara hemma dessa datum.­Nej tyvärr är inte bostaden tillgänglig, hade glömt att ändra i kalendern.Jag är ledsen men vi kan inte då.Ledsen men jag måste vara hemma då.Tyvärr är det inte ledigt då.Och så här lät samma värdar när en vit person upprepade frågan.Ni är mer än välkomna.Absolut, det funkar bra. Välkommen!Absolut den är ledig.Det är ledigt, bara att boka.Ni är hjärtligt välkomna att bo i vår lägenhet under dessa datum.Det ordnar vi, vilken tid kommer ni på fredag?Svårast att få hyra är det för de svarta männen. Det är lite lättare för de svarta kvinnorna att få hyra men av dem är det Sara som bär slöja som oftast blir nekad att hyra något.Vad är dina spontana tankar när du har hört detta? Ja, helt ärligt jag är jätteupprörd, det är bara en, det är en sån äcklig känsla att vet du vad, någon tycker någonting om dig fast du aldrig har sett mig i hela ditt liv inte pratat med mig, det är fett hemskt, helt ärligt.När vi går igenom testet får Sara tårar i ögonen. Det är bara ett bevis på att mänskligheten är så, vi människor vi utsätter andra människor för saker som vi inte ens vet att vi gör, även om det är undermedvetet eller inte men vi tänker inte på att det faktiskt är en människa som sitter där så du känner inte den, det är en hemsk känsla faktiskt och att behöva bära med sig den hela sitt liv, man anpassar sig, men det är en jobbig känsla.Men vad säger Airbnb om det här då? Vi har under flera veckor försökt få en intervju med någon av företagets representanter i Norden eller i USA. De har avböjt att medverka, men de är medvetna om att det förekommer diskriminering på deras plattform.Så här lät det när en av företagets grundare Brian Chesky pratade om detta i somras i amerikansk TV:Vi var sena på den här frågan. Vi var så fokuserade på tilliten och säkerheten, vi ville att alla ska måste ha en verklig identitet, så tilliten och säkerheten gjorde att vi riktade in oss på andra kriser och när vi gjorde det tappade vi fokus på den här viktiga frågan.(You know, I think that we were late on this issue. I think that we were so focused on the notion of trust and keeping people safe, we wanted everybody to have a real identity, make sure, because we were responding to other crises, of trust and safety, and while that happened we took our eye of the ball of this incredibly important issue.)Resultatet av att Airbnb fokuserade på den här frågan nu under sommaren blev en rapport som publicerades nu i september. Det är även den rapporten som man hänvisar till när vi vill ha en intervju. Där ber man om ursäkt för att ha agerat långsamt i den här frågan.Det ska bli enklare att anmäla om man upplever sig diskriminerad, Airbnb tar på sig att försöka ordna ett annat boende i sådana fall och värdarna ska kunna gå en webbaserad kurs om fördomar. Dessutom vill man få fler att gå med på att man kan boka boende hos dom direkt utan att först få ett godkännande av värden. Kristen Clarke på The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights under Law, tycker att det här är ett viktigt steg i rätt riktning men inte tillräckligt. Jag tycker inte att man ska visa bild och namn förrän man bokat, säger Kristen Clarke.(I think that it should no longer require people disclose photos and names prior to reservation.)Foto och namn är bara viktigt när man väl har bokat säger hon. När man låter värdarna se hudfärgen på den som de tänker hyra ut till, om personen ifråga har slöja eller turban kan de leda till diskriminering och det måste vi få bort ur processen, menar Kristen Clarke. Det är viktigt att veta vem du ska lämna nyckeln till när en reservation har gjorts, men den informationen behöver man ju inte lämna innan reservationen är bekräftad. Det är där jag tycker Airbnb ska börja.( Its important to know who you are going to hand your key out to whens a reservation is in place but there is no need why that information should be revealed to host prior to confirming a reservation so thats where I think that Airbnb need to start.)Vi pratar om att Airbnb inte är det enda företag som förmedlar varor och tjänster med namn och bild på säljare och konsument inom den växande delningsekonomin. Men som ett av de största och mest kända företagen menar Kristen Clarke att de har ett särskilt ansvar.När vi tillåter för mycket diskretion, historiskt sett har det visat sig att det är då diskriminering visar sig. Så det här är ett gyllene tillfälle för Airbnb att ta täten och bli en förebild för andra företag inom delningsekonomin.( When you allow people come and choose who can come and stay, clean your house, bring you food. When we allows too much discretion historically thats when we see discrimination coming to play so this is a real moment for Airbnb to be the leader thats it wants to be and take action that will help make it a role model for other companies in the sharing economy space.)Hon lyfter fram företaget UBER som ett positivt exempel i det här sammanhanget. I deras app som gör att man kan beställa en taxitjänst i mobilen ser föraren och resenären inte varandras namn förrän beställningen är gjord.Flera svarta kändisar har hyllat appen på sociala medier för att det är lättare för dem att beställa en bil på det här sättet. I New York stoppar man ju de traditionella gula bilarna på gatan och många, särskilt afroamerikanska män upplevde svårigheter med detta.Även Ben Edelman som forskar om det här på Harvard Universitetet menar att bilderna och namnen måste bort om man på allvar vill få bort diskrimineringen:Policyn verkar vara att frågor om public relations är mer i fokus än att komma till rätta med diskriminering. Det viktiga är god PR.(This policy looks that it was designed more with public relations questions in mind and less on mind on actually fixing discrimination. Looks like it was designed to get good PR, and it did get some good PR. But was it designed to fix discrimination? To stop discrimination from accruing and to do that as quickly and thoroughly as possible? I would say no.)Men Airbnb säger att de ska experimentera med att minska bildernas betydelse. Det här är alldeles för vagt menar Ben Edelman.De lovar inte att agera utifrån vad experimentet visar och de lovar definitivt inte att det blir några resultat.(They dont promise to actually act on the result of the experiment, they certainly dont promise that their experiment will have any particular results.)Men skulle värdarna inte skrämmas bort om man plötsligt var tvungen att säga ja eller nej till någon som man inte sett? Det tror inte Ben Edelman.Airbnb är kommersiellt, det är designat för att tjäna pengar till värdarna, värdarna kommer vara nöjda med vilket system som helst som göra att de tjänar pengar. Och det här är själva slutsatsen. Om Airbnb verkligen skulle vilja genomföra förändringar så skulle de kunna stoppa diskriminering. Men det har bestämt sig för att inte göra det.(You know, Airbnb is a commercial service, its designed to make money for the host, the host will be happy with any system that continues to give them money. And this is the real bottom line, seems to me like Airbnb could really press this change throw if they really wanted to stop discrimination. But they decided not to. )Både Ben Edelman och Kristen Clark menar att Airbnb måste ta ansvar för hur man konstruerat sin plattform och att det är de som har möjligheten att förändra det här genom att ta bort namn och bild ur processen. Men samtidigt är det ju värdarna som fattar beslutet att säga ja eller nej.När vi frågar den svenska diskrimineringsombudsmannen, DO, får vi svaret att det är värden som man skulle kräva på skadestånd ifall DO fick in ett sådant här ärende.Normalt är den privata sfären undantagen diskrimineringslagstiftningen, men om man lägger ut sin lägenhet eller ett rum på en kommersiell sida som Airbnb och tar ett pris som motsvarar ett hotellrum, skulle det räknas som att man säljer en tjänst, och omfattas av lagen enligt DO. Men än så länge har detta inte prövats rättsligt i Sverige (med airbnb alltså).Men vad säger värdarna själva? De som sa nej till våra testpersoner. Vi ringer upp några av dem för att höra, men ingen vill berätta om det här i radio. Några får vi ändå prata med en stund, men ingen av dem vill kännas vid någon diskriminering, i alla fall inte att det har skett medvetet.Vår värd i New York, Andrew, har hört talas om problemen med diskriminering, men samtidigt så menar han att när man släpper in någon i sitt hem är det viktigt att man känner att man har kontroll.Som värd måste du tillåtas ha total kontroll över de här situationerna, och om du får se en person som du inte tror du vill hyra ut till ska du helt enkelt kunna neka.(As a host you are allowed to sign off who you allowed to stay there you are in total control of the situation so if you see people that you dont think you wane host you can simply deny them.)Och det här är också skälet till att Airbnb inte vill ta bort foton ur processen, de menar att det är en för viktig del i processen att skapa tillit.Hemma hos Tim några kvarter därifrån fastnar vi vid det stora fönstret och tittar på utsikten.Och även om Tim Davies tappade lust att själv hyra boende via Airbnb säger han att kommer han fortsätta erbjuda turister att hyra ut ett rum i hans lägenhet via tjänsten. Men värdarna borde fundera över sin världsbild, menar han.Konceptet är svinbra och visst det är någons hem vi pratar om så det är ju den personen som i slutänden måste bestämma vem man vill släppa in i sitt hem. Men på samma gång måste de förstå att världen är väldig uppdelad, de borde vara lite mer accepterande mot folk som reser. Du vet aldrig vem du möter. Det finns många härliga människor runt om i världen och om du begränsar dig till människor som bara ser ut som du, kan du verkligen gå miste om härliga människor och riktigt bra konversationer, avslutar Tim Davis.(I think that the concept is great and there is someones home so in the end of the day they get to decide who they want to let in in their house but in the same time they should understand that the world is a very diverced place, they should be a little more accepting of people that travels.You never know who to meet. It is a really big world out there and there is a lot of great people out there and if you restrict yourself to people who just look like you, you could really missing out some really great people, and some really good conversations.)Reportrar: Maria Ridderstedt och Karin WettreProducent: Annika H ErikssonKontakt: kaliber@sverigesradio.se
