The fundamental nature of the dollar is to rob the future in attempts to help the present. Unfortunately, that causes a devalued currency, high prices, and insurmountable debt. The dollar is broken at its core. Opt out of a system of debt slavery, weakening currency, and cheap goods by storying your hard work in Bitcoin; a superior money that promises freedom and economic flourishing.

Years ago, innovation was a huge buzzword in the corporate world and every company was throwing the term around without truly understanding what it meant… and when they did, they dropped the term quicker than a hot potato. Now, there seems to be a new buzzword… Psychological safety. Psychological safety seems to be one of those hot ticket items right now in the corporate world, but I fear it may meet the same fate as innovation some years down the road like a trend that was passing by or “The Flavor of the Month.” Therefore, we felt it might be worth holding an informed discussion around psychological safety and tell you that it’s here to stay. We need to begin looking at employees as people first, then employees second and appreciate the human response to fear and its effects on overall creativity and well-being.

What is dividing us as a society? How can we mend it? In this episode, I give my take on this growing problem and offer my solution.

Not all research is equally credible. In this episode, Michael breaks down Data & Society's 2018 report on YouTube's "Alternative Influence Network". From methodological and validity concerns, to inconsistent framing, this report is shown to be an extensive editorial of sorts - something distinct from its initial reception as rock-solid research. Built on careful tautological foundations, the report's findings, reception, and influence are examined. In closing, context about the author's ideology and advocacy are provided. The result: A podcast episode delivering on FITO's promise to analyze the research and reasoning that, for better or worse, drive public policy and discourse.
