Joseph Murphy grew up in a good family in Wisconsin, but at just 17 years old he made a decision that changed everything — committing an armed gas station robbery that sent him into the criminal justice system. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Joseph opens up about living with mental health disabilities while navigating county jail, prison, and years on probation, where violations kept pulling him back in. Despite receiving a rare pardon from the governor, he later found himself facing new charges for check fraud and business fraud, leading to more time in both Iowa and Wisconsin jails and prisons. Joseph shares what it was like being stuck in the system for decades, the challenges of surviving incarceration with a disability, and how difficult it is to truly break free once you're in. After finally getting out, he landed a job with the Mississippi Department of Corrections, only to be fired for discrimination related to his disability — a case he fought and ultimately settled. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #JailLife #Probation #MentalHealth #ExInmate #CriminalJustice #realstories _____________________________________________ Connect with Joseph Murphy: Email: JoeJustice2026@gmail.com _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From Robbery to Prison — His Story Begins 01:10 Growing Up & Family Background 02:00 Mental Health Struggles Early On 02:30 The Gas Station Robbery 03:43 Arrest, Charges & Juvenile Sentencing 05:55 Fighting for a Pardon & Lessons Learned 07:17 Second Chance… Then Another Arrest 09:45 Legal System Challenges & Court Battles 13:10 Probation vs Prison — What's Worse? 15:32 Mental Illness Inside the System 17:19 Life in Prison — Reality & Conditions 20:00 Loss, Survival & Breaking Points 23:02 The Truth About Probation & Parole 25:00 Violations That Send People Back 29:29 Life After Probation — Marriage & Growth 33:31 Building a Business After Prison 36:45 New Charges & Legal Consequences 43:10 County Jail vs Prison — Key Differences 46:40 Playing the Legal System Like a Game 48:01 Release, Relocation & Starting Over 51:21 Becoming an Advocate in Mississippi 53:38 Helping Others After Prison 56:01 Learning From Setbacks & Moving Forward 01:00:20 Criminal Justice Reform Efforts 01:07:20 Working Inside the Corrections System 01:12:30 Workplace Discrimination & Legal Fight 01:18:35 ADA Rights & Systemic Issues 01:23:00 Finally Off Probation — Freedom 01:24:42 Calling for Criminal Justice Reform 01:27:19 Final Thoughts & Closing Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Mark Carey in this eye-opening episode of the Employee Survival Guide® as he unpacks the shocking case of Sheehan v. Everstory Partners, a federal lawsuit that exposes the horrific realities faced by employees in a funeral home setting. This episode is not just a recounting of legal proceedings; it's a clarion call for every employee to understand their rights in the face of discrimination and harassment. Carey and his co-host dive deep into the allegations made by five brave female plaintiffs who faced severe sexual harassment and were coerced into violating state laws regarding the handling of human remains.

These lessons became the foundation for the work she does today, helping leaders navigate difficult conversations with confidence and compassion. Throughout the episode, we also discuss her transition from corporate executive to keynote speaker, author, and entrepreneur. Karin explains how she and her co-author (and husband), David Dye, help teams build cultures of “productive conflict,” where differences lead to innovation rather than division. From real-world mistakes to powerful communication tools, this episode is full of insight for leaders who want to lead with heart—and get results. Questions and Topics: What's your favorite mistake, and what did you learn from it? Do you think the hiring manager eventually saw the light, or was the outcome driven by HR? Did that incident influence your decision to leave the corporate world and start your own company? How did your background in HR and operations shape your leadership approach? When did you realize you had something valuable to share publicly through your blog? How did your speaking career take off, and what was the turning point? How do you stay calm in conflict now, compared to earlier in your career? What are the four dimensions of productive conflict? How often do leaders get in trouble for what they say versus staying silent? How do you advise someone to say “no” to their boss without hurting their reputation? What are the dynamics of working with your husband as a business partner? How can teams embrace conflict as a source of innovation, not dysfunction? What's the danger of trying to fix systemic conflict at the interpersonal level? How do you handle conflict on hybrid or global teams where trust is harder to build? Is it easier to de-escalate conflict in person versus virtual or text-based communication? How do you balance encouraging courage with creating psychological safety?

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton tackle a frustrating reality that many officers face—being discriminated against simply for wearing the badge (Amazon Affiliate). In today's climate, law enforcement officers often find themselves unfairly judged in both professional and personal settings. Whether it's a store refusing service, a family member making anti-police comments, or people automatically assuming you're corrupt, these experiences can be frustrating, isolating, and even infuriating. So, how do you handle these situations without letting them eat away at you? In this episode, we discuss five real examples of discrimination against police officers and five ways to combat it with confidence and professionalism. 1. Understanding Why This Happens The anti-police narrative has been fueled by media bias, political agendas, and misinformation. Many people judge officers based on headlines, personal biases, or past experiences with authority. Unfortunately, this often leads to officers being treated unfairly in situations where they shouldn't have to justify their profession. 2. Five Common Examples of Discrimination Against Police Officers 1. Being Denied Service or Treated Poorly at Businesses Example: A restaurant refuses to serve uniformed officers or intentionally provides bad service because of their profession. Why It's a Problem: Officers deserve basic respect as customers, yet many face hostility in public spaces. 2. Friends or Family Making Anti-Police Comments Example: A family member constantly shares anti-police rhetoric or refuses to engage with you because of your job. Why It's a Problem: It creates tension and division within personal relationships, making officers feel unwelcome in their own families. 3. Social Media Backlash or Harassment Example: Posting about your career or a pro-law enforcement stance results in negative comments, online attacks, or even doxxing. Why It's a Problem: Officers have the right to express themselves, but many face hostility online simply for their profession. 4. Struggles in the Dating World Example: Some people refuse to date a cop because they assume officers are aggressive, untrustworthy, or emotionally unavailable. Why It's a Problem: These false stereotypes limit social opportunities and make building relationships harder. 5. Workplace Discrimination from Leadership or Peers Example: Officers who stand up for their values or voice concerns about policies are sometimes ostracized, overlooked for promotions, or retaliated against. Why It's a Problem: It creates a toxic work environment and discourages good officers from staying in the profession. 3. Five Ways to Combat Discrimination with Strength and Confidence 1. Stay Professional and Choose Your Battles Solution: If a business denies service, document the incident and choose whether to address it through official channels or walk away. Why It Works: Keeps you above the drama while ensuring accountability when needed. 2. Educate, But Don't Argue Solution: If family or friends misunderstand police work, offer facts and personal insights instead of debating. Why It Works: Informed discussions can shift misconceptions, but arguing rarely changes minds. 3. Set Boundaries Online and in Personal Life Solution: Be mindful of what you post, block toxic people, and don't engage in unnecessary social media battles. Why It Works: Protects mental health and personal safety while avoiding unnecessary conflicts. 4. Find a Strong Support System Solution: Surround yourself with like-minded friends, fellow officers, and supportive communities that respect your profession. Why It Works: Helps reduce stress and reminds you that you're not alone in these experiences. 5. Know When to Walk Away and When to Stand Up Solution: Choose when to push back on discrimination and when it's better to let it go and move forward. Why It Works: Keeps your energy focused on what matters instead of letting negativity drain you. 4. Why Officers Must Stay Resilient in Today's Climate Officers must learn how to navigate unfair treatment without letting it impact their confidence, integrity, or sense of purpose. The best response to discrimination is to remain professional, stay strong, and continue doing the job with honor. 5. Final Thoughts: The Bigger Picture While discrimination against officers is real, it does not define who you are. By staying grounded in your purpose, surrounding yourself with supportive people, and setting boundaries, you can thrive in your career and personal life. Listen now to learn how to handle discrimination with confidence, protect your peace, and continue serving with pride.

Aubrey speaks to Devan Moonsamy, CEO of ICHAF Training Institute, a South African Corporate Training Provider & National Learning Institute, about human rights within the workplace. We often discuss human rights issues in the broader context of our lives, but what about in the workplace? Workplace discrimination isn’t always obvious, it can show up as unequal pay, lack of career growth, or the exclusion of people with disabilities. With so many tools available to create inclusive work environments, why do so many companies still fall short?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we're taking a closer look at a pivotal Supreme Court case that redefined workplace discrimination standards with distinguished attorneys Toni Jackson and Carolyn Wheeler. Together, they're breaking down the impact of Muldrow v. City of St. Louis, a recent ruling that sets a new precedent in Title VII employment discrimination law, clarifying what level of harm an employee must demonstrate to challenge a transfer. Toni and Carolyn, representing employer and employee perspectives respectively, offer nuanced insights into how this decision impacts employers, managers, and employees alike. They discuss what the "some harm" standard means in practice, the effect on performance management and employee transfers, and why this ruling could open doors for new types of workplace discrimination claims. From shifts in workplace dynamics to the potential impact on DEI initiatives, this episode explores what business leaders, HR professionals, and employees need to know to navigate these new legal waters.

Advocating for yourself when experiencing harm in the workplace can be hard and confusing, but it can also open the door to something so much better. In this episode, Whitney sits down with Noris Chavarria, a queer, gay, Latino, consultant and coach to discuss Noris's experience with self-advocacy.In this powerful episode, Noris shares his experience feeling subject to harassment based on his sexual orientation and documented new diagnosis of ADHD. Facing an environment fraught with bullying, and where is request for reasonable accommodations were denied, Noris was compelled to take legal action and eventually leave his job.Noris opens up about the emotional toll of dealing with his workplace, the barriers he faced in seeking legal remedies, and the journey towards his newfound mission: empowering others who face similar struggles. He discusses the complexities of navigating employment law, even in California, and the importance of support programs for those feeling marginalized and unheard.Listeners will gain invaluable insights into Noris's path to advocacy and entrepreneurship through his consulting and coaching business, Noris Knows, which serves LGBTQ+ individuals and people of color. Whitney and Noris also explore the broader implications of systemic workplace issues on mental and physical health and the importance of recognizing personal autonomy.This episode is part of our anti-discrimination mini-series and shines a light on the lack of legal protections in workplace bullying cases and the various barriers people experience when attempting to find support and legal protection. Although what Noris experienced may not amount to legal harassment or discrimination (we don't know), his experiences led to workplace trauma that had very real impact on his health, mental health, and his capacity to work in the environment. Part of the trouble is meeting a legal standard of proof required to show harassment or discrimination occurred. For this reason, when possible it can be helpful to speak to advocates and attorneys to learn about how we can best support ourselves, and to get help navigating these systems. Make sure to tune in to episodes 49 and 51 to learn more about how advocates and attorneys can help, and what to do to prepare for this type of experience.

We're kicking off the second season of the Curl Code by sharing a vulnerable, illuminating, sometimes hilarious and alwways incredible conversation from the launch party of the show last year. This live event brought together curlies and non-curlies of different generations and backgrounds to discuss lived experiences of having curly hair. Regardless of what else we might not have in common, we discovered funny and not-so-funny stories of hair trauma, struggle, and finally, embrace that revealed to us the things we share, and helped us learn about what's changed--and still needs to change--to allow all of us to live as our most authentic selves and embrace our curly crowns. Our non-curly allies helped us understand their own experiences and limitations, and even our wavy and swavy friends got a little reassurance that there is a place for them in the the curl universe too!  This conversation exemplifies the openness, authenticity and healing we stand for in this show, and at the Curly Oasis salon and education platform. We hope you'll find solidarity, companionship, and discovery in this show, and realize that whatever you hair trauma or curl experience may be, you are not alone! Continue your curly hair styling and education journey on our Instagram!

Justice for Reyzl: Standing up to LGBTQ Workplace Discrimination Host: Noah Parrish, Gender Justice Communications Director Guest: Brittany Stewart, Gender Justice Senior Staff Attorney In August 2024, Gender Justice and co-counsel Wanta Thome PLC filed a discrimination lawsuit against the Academy of Holy Angels, a Catholic high school in Richfield, Minnesota, and the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis after they effectively terminated Reyzl Grace, a staff librarian, when she came out as trans. Reyzl Grace's story highlights the importance of ensuring that no employer in Minnesota has carte blanche to discriminate against employees simply because of who they are.   We believe the school violated the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA) by refusing to allow Grace, who served as a secular librarian at the school, to reapply for her position on the basis of gender identity and sex. While the MHRA does permit limited exemptions on religious grounds, the Legislature never intended for these exemptions to apply to secular employees. In this episode of The Gender Justice Brief, Reyzl Grace's attorney, Brittany Stewart, outlines our case seeking justice for her: Background and context on Reyzl Grace's case Grace v.
