In this eye-opening episode of Third Side Convo, Bob Phipps and our dynamic panel — Don Thomas, Jeff Nolan, Michelle Walters, and Peter Gallo — pull no punches discussing modern slavery in all its forms. From prison labor loopholes in the U.S. to forced labor in global supply chains, sex trafficking, and exploitative working conditions in industries like chocolate, fashion, and electronics — we ask the tough questions: 1. Is slavery really over, or has it just evolved? 2. What can we actually do about it? 3. Are we complicit as consumers when we choose convenience over ethics? Join the conversation! Drop your thoughts in the comments:

• Do you think boycotts or tariffs make a difference?
• What brands or products do you avoid because of these issues?
• What change would YOU like to see?
