What does "defund police" really mean, and does it make sense to do so? Further, would it make sense to completely abolish police and the prison system? In this episode, I talk about what I have learned about these things and whether or not I believe either could help. Recorded via live broadcast on 7/24/2020. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/voluntary-input/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/voluntary-input/support

Day to day it seems we are bombarded with negativity. From mass shootings, political bickering, social media bullying and natural disasters - it often seems like happiness is nowhere to be found in today's world. Fortunately, there are people like my nephew Aaron Allen who remind us that happiness often isn't that hard to find! It can literally start as simply as deciding to change one's state of mind, as well as wearing one of his cool new #HappyAF T-shirts! Be sure to reach out to Aaron on Facebook to order your T-Shirt today!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/voluntary-input/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/voluntary-input/support

It seems like on an almost daily basis, we hear talk about data and privacy. Stolen data, privacy breaches, data mining….the list goes on! But what does it all mean? Are the likes of Facebook, Google, and Amazon really stealing our data? And is Apple the only good egg among them all? How can we protect our data if we don’t understand what’s really going on?I reached out to a good friend who just so happens to be an expert in the field, Bill Kilgallon. We try to shed some light on the truth about what data actually is, how companies actually use it (the good and the bad), and hopefully clear up some of the fear and confusion that's often caused by stories repeated in the media.Recorded live, August 10th, 2019Questions or comments about this or any other episode?

This week's shutdown of Google Plus has many long-time Google faithful declaring this as the final nail in the coffin! Although Google has a track record of shuttering services that many come to love, which has now lead to a climate of distrust, I believe there's something far more important at play here. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/voluntary-input/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/voluntary-input/support
