Barry O'Reilly wraps up 2022 in this solo episode of the Unlearn Podcast. He shares five unlearning stories from listeners across the globe. He recaps how Nobody Studios has evolved ahead of the equity crowdfunding campaign launch and shares their plans for 2023. Rewind Despite its young age, Nobody Studios has been recognized as one of the Top 10 Venture Studios of 2022. Barry comments that this accolade is humbling and motivates Nobody to prove that it's deserved by building themselves over time. Nobody Studios plans to launch 4 new companies this month, with 8 more in incubation. They are also going to be the first-ever venture studio to offer equity crowdfunding to the world when it goes live at the end of the year. As for the Unlearn Podcast, it continues to grow from strength to strength. At 150,000 downloads with 5,000 downloads a month, the Unlearn Podcast is in the top 5% of podcasts listened to worldwide. Unlearning Stories Albert Einstein once said, “You can't solve a problem with the same mindset that created it.” Listeners from across the globe share their unlearning stories as they grow closer to the persons they want to become: Fred from Barcelona describes unlearning the fear of failure, and how it held him back. Jane in New York talks about relearning confidence as a young person, rejecting the societal notion that age is the determining factor for the value of someone's contribution. Sonya from Rio De Janeiro renounces softening her authority and diminishing her voice as a woman, encouraging other women to speak out and stand up against the societal conditioning of women to be passive. Stephen in Melbourne shares how he challenged his belief about his daughter, deciding to investigate the reason behind her behavior, and how it changed their relationship for the better. Veronica from Singapore explains unlearning her preconceived idea of happiness, and the importance of making your happiness a priority. Barry's biggest unlearning of 2022 also involved understanding what makes him happy and how to make more time for what does. Deleting social media freed much of his time, he comments. After realizing just how much of his time was being sucked into “low-return activities,” he found the breakthrough behavior of no longer scrolling through social media feeds. Looking Ahead Barry has many big moments in store for 2023. In addition to the launch of Nobody Studios's crowdfunding campaign and companies, Barry will be partnering with LearnCrunch in February to launch an High Performance Leadership Program. Also, the Unlearn Program with Stephen Downing is also going live next year. Stay tuned to take advantage of opportunities to work together. Resources Nobody Studios | LinkedIn

Stephen was of good character and had learning difficulties when he was wrongly convicted of the murder of Wendy Sewell (Bakewell Cemetery Murder) when he was only 17 years old. He spent 27 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. In this episode I talk to investigative journalist Don Hale OBE, who shares his story about what happened when he started to investigate whether or not Stephen had committed the crime. It is a shocking story as Don received unprecedented intimidation and harassment from the police and death threats from 'A; another or a group of people, who did not want him to look into the case. As he said; "why would they do it if the right man has been jailed."

In the next episode of ‘True Crime Investigators UK’ we continue to investigate the murder in 1973 of Wendy Sewell in Bakewell Cemetery, asking the question if Stephen Downing didn’t kill Wendy; then who did? Was it a local man, someone known to Wendy? Or perhaps as the retired police intelligence officer Chris Clarke believes, this was actually an unreported attack by the Yorkshire Ripper? Join us as we investigate all this further and come to our final conclusions about the case.
Who is the real Stephen Downing? Why were the police so quick to point the finger at him for the brutal Murder of Wendy Sewell, and why did so many of the townspeople seem unsurprised to hear suggestions that he had attacked a woman? We hear about Stephen as a boy, and how growing up in prison shaped the man he became. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Stephen Downing sad fængslet i 27 år for mordet på Wendy Sewel, en ung kvinde, som blev slået ned med et økseskaft på den kirkegård, hvor Downing arbejdede. I 2002 blev Downing frifundet. Dog ikke fordi man nu mente at han var uskyldig, men fordi forhørsmetoden af den dengang kun 17-årige Downing kastede tvivl om dommens sikkerhed. Dette udsagn har været særdeles udfordrende at analysere, da den bærer præg af 27 års eftertænksomhed fra Downings side, som har forurenet hans oplevelse af sagen.

Valhalla (Religion) In Norse mythology, Valhalla (from Old Norse Valhöll "hall of the slain") is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin. Chosen by Odin, half of those who die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field Fólkvangr. In Valhalla, the dead join the masses of those who have died in combat known as Einherjar, as well as various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, as they prepare to aid Odin during the events of Ragnarök. Before the hall stands the golden tree Glasir, and the hall's ceiling is thatched with golden shields. Various creatures live around Valhalla, such as the stag Eikþyrnir and the goat Heiðrún, both described as standing atop Valhalla and consuming the foliage of the tree Læraðr.
