One of the most powerful and important pillars of democracy in the United States is freedom of speech – the privilege granted a right in the US Constitution is a shield. It also can be a sword. Eugene Volokh is a Professor of Law at UCLA. His specialty, the First Amendment. What’s a canine behaviorist and life coach talking about with a First Amendment expert? Simple. Cheap Speech. It’s a phrase Professor Volokh coined back in 1995 as he predicted the massive impact the Internet would have on democratizing information and empowering free speech. He was, of course, correct. And the dark side of that process is what I wanted to talk about with him. This idea that technology’s silos is removing our curiosity and interest in people and things that are different. What Professor Volokh replies to this might surprise you. It caught me a bit off guard. I have to say I don’t know that I wholly agree with his view, but I can tell you that the discussion was utterly fascinating, and I cannot wait to have him back on the show again.
What does leadership actually mean in today’s world? Good questions, right? That’s what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it’s why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of entirely candid conversations with fascinating people doing remarkable things. This weekly podcast will feature guests from arts and entertainment to business to technology to food to activism to politics (well, we’ll see on that last one). Talk Unleashed invites these influencers to consider the things that have led to them to where they are, the lessons they’ve learned and how all those things can come together to create a better world.
