  In Fraud We Trust - How Leaders...

  Telling lies, and falling for them, is one of the things that makes us human. But when someone deceives another for material gain or profit, inflicting injury in the process, we give this kind of lie a special label: fraud. 
   
   
   
  Most people are familiar with the concept and understand that fraud is prohibited by law. What many fail to appreciate, however, is that the law does not treat all frauds equally. In a perverse sense, the bigger the fraud, the more likely it is protected by the First Amendment and therefore legal. 
   
   
   
  Examples of fraud on the public are everywhere. Politicians on both sides of the aisle lie with such regularity that people have become deeply cynical about whether to believe anything they say. Henricksen shows that large-scale fraud is carried out for many reasons beyond financial profit, including political gain, the prevention of justice, and the falsification of history. 
   
   
   
  In addition to exposing the depths of the problem, Henricksen gives listeners a way forward. By revealing for the first time the root legal cause of the misinformation crisis and presenting novel solutions, In Fraud We Trust speaks to the present moment as it offers answers for the future.

  Spotify Algorithms: Learn How To...

  Spotify’s algorithm is kind of a black box. Your song releases, you do some marketing and then it gets thrown onto some algorithmic playlists, sometimes. To most artists it may as well be completely random, but behind the scenes there is of course some very particular code executing purposefully written algorithms. Unfortunately we have no idea what this algorithm actually is. 
  This book represents my entire understanding of how the Spotify algorithm works and how i've been able to get almost every song i've released in the past 3 years onto Discovery Weekly. Since I don't have any insider knowledge this understanding is based on experience, trial and error, research and a little bit of science. 
  Andrew Southworth is a music artist with over 10 million streams on his own music. Through his YouTube channel and company Genera Studios he has helped other artists generate over 100 million streams on their music.
