Read MoreRemember when everything was a Western? For a long stretch of film and television history, the Western was one of the biggest myth machines in American entertainment. You had the horse, the frontier, the town with weak law, the corrupt land baron, the sheriff, the outlaw, the saloon, the standoff, and the lone figure who…
Read MoreThe sixth video returned to a topic that had already become a recurring theme on the channel: personal responsibility, workplace conduct, and the reality that modern technology records far more than many people seem to realize. In this video, I discussed a widely circulated incident involving a delivery worker known online as “Extra Spice,” who…
Read MoreI have been making this statement since I first learned that Massachusetts rideshare sick time was capped at 40 hours.

Read MoreThe fourth video posted to YouTube was something of a departure from the topics that had come before it. Up to that point, much of the discussion had focused on gig work, platform policies, training, and the day-to-day realities of working as an independent contractor. Then I shifted gears and started talking about something completely…
Read MoreThis was the third video that I produced, long before there was a website to go along with the channel. At the time, it was simply a video posted to share an idea that I felt was not getting enough attention. A lot of the discussion surrounding gig work tends to focus on earnings, bonuses,…
Read MoreThis was the second video that I produced for the channel. In it, I discussed the importance of drivers protecting themselves by using body cameras, understanding platform policies, and recognizing that many of the problems we see are often the result of inadequate training and poor communication. At the time, I was already repeating a…
