On today’s episode we talk about the dark side of social media. Can we control what we consume on a daily basis? How do we stop comparing our real lives to their filtered lives? We talk about keyboard warriors, cancel culture, and the toll social media takes on the individual as well as personal relationships. This is one of those episodes where we think everyone can relate on some level. Moral of the story: social media is full of shit. Tune in or miss the F out.

Stop for a second and answer this. Would you do the right thing if it meant you could get punished by losing your job and the respect of all those who you work with? Well, that’s exactly what LAPD officer Jim Gavin did when he got a letter on his desk from prisoner, Bruce Lisker, stating he was not guilty for the murder of his mother 26 years ago. On today’s episode we have both Bruce Lisker and Jim Gavin on the show to talk about what went down and eventually led Bruce Lisker to his release from prison after being wrongfully convicted. This episode is heart wrenching in seeing what the implications to be had from the criminal justice system erroring. This story gives us hope that there are good people in this world willing to give it all up to do the right thing.

On episode 77 #part2 we continue the conversation with Dr. Maggie on all the behaviors that go into studying and ways to tackle this beast of an exam. We talk about choosing how to study, time management, self management skills, manipulating your environment, how to read a question and break it down, and setting reinforcement schedules for your own behavior. We even talk about how to make studying not-suck; but take it a step further as to how you can actually make studying FUN. No, it’s not a mistake that we just said studying and fun in the same sentence. Hopefully whether you are studying for your BCBA or any other exam, this podcast will help you.
