Hey Uncommon Leaders welcome back – Today is a special day, as you'll be hearing from a very unique voice – my son, Joseph Gallagher. I've been holding onto this recording, waiting for the perfect time to share it with you all. You see, Joseph is a man marked by passion – passion for rock climbing, passion for his new wife, Amy, whom he just married this past weekend and a deep passion for his relationship with Jesus. One of the things about the wedding that impacted me the most was when Joseph's friends shared stories about their friendship over the years with Joseph.  The common theme… Passion!Joseph is currently a Staff Associate for the Young Life Organization in Boulder, CO, where he has a burden to see a movement of students come to know the Lord in Boulder.This episode comes nearly two years to the day after his first official sermon in Boulder, Colorado, so  It's not your typical leadership talk, but if there's anything I've learned, it's that the Uncommon often hides in the not-so-typical. So, imagine exhibiting the kind of passion Joseph displays in his sermon  in your daily work. What could that make possible? The answer is straightforward: Uncommon marriages, uncommon friendships, and an uncommon impact in business and in life. So, get ready for an experience as we dive into this episode packed with passion, faith, and a perspective only Jo-Jo Gallagher can bring. Thanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.

Times, 11/12/2017) The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium by Martin Gurri The Square and the Tower: Networks and Power, from the Freemasons to Facebook by Niall Ferguson News Roundup Facebook A new British Parliament report is calling for new regulations against Facebook. Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee concluded an 18-month investigation against the social media giant finding it routinely breaks privacy and competition laws. The Committee report is non-binding but it could pave the way for additional regulations. Back here in the U.S., the Federal Trade Commission issued a complaint against Facebook saying the company reveals sensitive health data in groups. And the FTC is currently in the process of negotiation a multibillion dollar fine with the company. Also, several groups including Common Sense filed an FTC complaint against Facebook for violating children’s privacy laws and pushing kids to make in-app purchases. And the Verge posted an exposé yesterday on Facebook’s treatment of its contractors working for Cognizant. Apparently content screeners paid less than $29,000 a year are the first line of defense in preventing harmful content from being posted to the site. The reviewers are routinely exposed to death, sexual abuse, and other types of content that exacts an extreme mental health toll on these workers. Facebook claims its working to alleviate some of these working conditions. Google YouTube is facing an advertiser boycott after a YouTuber published a report detailing how comments and recommendations on normal products, like bikinis, ultimately nudge users to access inappropriate videos of children. The video aren’t necessarily pornographic per se, but users post comments within the videos that included time stamps that show children in compromising poses and positions. Nestle, Disney and Fortnight are among several advertisers that have pulled or restricted ads from YouTube because their ads appeared alongside the inappropriate content. YouTube reiterated its zero-tolerance policy for such content and deleted millions of the comments in question that directed viewers to the material in question. In other YouTube news, the platform announced that going forward it will prevent anti-vaxxer channels from hosting ads. YouTube cited its policy against dangerous and harmful content. And YouTube’s parent company Alphabet’s Google unit announced that it will end its policy of forced arbitration regarding worker disputes.

Bipartisan group of Senators ask DoE and Homeland to block Huawei A Bipartisan group of Senators wrote a letter to the Departments of Energy and Homeland Security yesterday urging them to block Huawei technology from accessing U.S. electrical systems and infrastructure. Several weeks ago, Congress blocked Huawei from accessing the nation’s telecommunication’s infrastructure as security officials believe the China-based company is working on behalf of the Chinese government to spy on the U.S.
