Ban It or Fix It? The Case for a RE-BEL-UTION

What if the answer to the UK's social media ban debate isn't a ban at all? Munur Shah, author of The Screen Addict and founder of Rebel Telecom, is launching a RE-BEL-UTION this June, and it's about to disrupt everything we think we know about smartphones and young people. As a coach and NLP specialist, Munur has spent years helping people break screen addiction. His approach isn't about restriction; it's about education, awareness, and rewiring our relationship with technology from the inside out. And now he's channelling all of that into the Rebel Phone, a genuinely different solution for the audiences at the heart of the UK's ban debate. Joining him is Laura Bloomberg, an independent consultant with over thirty years of teaching experience working with children with dyslexia and dyscalculia. Laura has been instrumental in connecting Rebel Telecom with schools and educational establishments, turning barriers into bridges and championing a safer, healthier relationship with technology for every child. Together, we unpack screen addiction, the limits of legislation, and what a real alternative could look like. A conversation for parents, educators, leaders, and anyone who's ever wondered whether we're asking the right questions. Voices on the Edge of Change is hosted by Lou Robey, LinkedIn Top Voice on Change and founder of Voice4Impact.

Nikki Barua on Reinvention, AI, and What It Really Takes to Lead

So what does it actually take to lead through disruption, not just survive it, but reshape it? Lou Robey sits down with Nikki Barua, serial entrepreneur, bestselling author, keynote speaker, and CEO & Co-Founder of FlipWork, for a conversation that goes beyond strategy into the human truth of transformation. Nikki has spent over 25 years guiding some of the world's most iconic brands through digital transformation and workforce reinvention. Her journey from humble beginnings to global recognition, featured in CNBC, Bloomberg, Fortune, and Forbes, isn't just a success story. It's a masterclass in reinvention. In this episode, they explore: The inner shift that mattered more than any external milestone What most leaders are getting dangerously wrong about AI adaptation Which fears about AI deserve serious attention — and which are just noise What's really happening beneath the surface for leaders who feel successful yet unsettled How to reinvent without burning everything down The moment reinvention was forced on Nikki — and what it taught her How work culture must evolve as AI reshapes roles, identity, and purpose The skills that will matter most when technical skills keep changing  The conversation more leaders need to be brave enough to have  One grounded step for anyone standing at the edge of change right now If you're navigating change — leading it, living it, or bracing for it — this one is for you.   Voices on the Edge of Change is hosted by Lou Robey, business transformation expert, keynote speaker, and LinkedIn Top Voice on Change.

Will the UK adopt a Social Media ban - this is the question!

What does it really take to protect our children online?   In this episode, I sit down with Baroness Luciana Berger — former MP, now working in the House of Lords on two of the most significant issues of our time: assisted dying and the campaign to safeguard under-16s on social media.   What she shared stopped me in my tracks.   The average child spends 21 hours a week on social media. Not on screens generally. On the most sophisticated, addictive apps ever created. And that is only the beginning.   We talk about the work happening behind the scenes to get the social media bill right.   We talk about why Snapchat, the app most associated with grooming, bullying, and real-world harm, is so often the first one we hand our children.   We talk about FOMO, comparison, and how constant exposure to a curated highlight reel is quietly dismantling children's self-worth before they even know who they are.   Luciana brings in the medical evidence. The rise in anxiety medication. The surge in therapy referrals. The heartbreaking reality of children are taking their own lives because of what they encounter online. And she talks about the precautionary principle: once you have evidence of harm, you act.   We also compare our own childhoods. We were naïve. And that naïveté protected us. Today's children do not have that same protection.   The consultation is open now to anyone aged 10 and above. This is your chance to have a voice. To stand up. To be counted.   75% of people in this country want some form of policy to protect under-16s online. The concern is real. The need is urgent. And the conversation is only just beginning.   Are you ready to help our children stay safe?  Have your say here.
