CHAMPIONING MENTAL HEALTH FOR NCAA STUDENT-ATHLETES: LG ELECTRONICS CONCLUDES 3RD SEASON OF ‘TRANSPARENT CONVERSATIONS’ PODCAST

Published

on

The latest episodes focus on the importance of mental health resources for the next generation of collegiate athletes

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics will record the finale of the third season of its “Transparent Conversations” podcast this week in Louisville as the NCAA crowns this year’s women’s volleyball champion. “Transparent Conversations” is aimed at sharing powerful conversations about the unique mental health issues facing today’s student-athletes.

The season finale, which is set to tape during the NCAA women’s volleyball championship this week in Louisville, will focus on building stronger support for student-athletes’ mental health. In this episode, LG takes a closer look at how we can better support the mental health of student-athletes. From schools to home to online and everywhere in between, we’ll explore practical ways to create a caring, connected community that helps them thrive.

Social media has played a significant role in amplifying the visibility of women’s sports, allowing athletes and teams to build personal brands, reach larger audiences and inspire new generations of fans. However, navigating social media is often challenging for athletes due to the pressure to maintain a positive image, increased scrutiny and frequent exposure to criticism and harassment. This constant connectivity and potential for negative feedback have been linked to heightened mental health struggles, making it a double-edged sword for many athletes – especially in the new world of name, image and likeness (NIL).

That’s why, says podcast host Taylor Rooks, it’s important we create safe spaces where athletes feel comfortable talking about their challenges. “Open and honest communication is the key,” she said. “Being able to discuss the issues that weigh heavily on your mind is crucial, especially for these athletes who are juggling the pressures of sports, academics, family relationships and friendships. The addition of NIL is yet another layer.”

Rooks will welcome Victoria Garrick Browne, a USC alum and volleyball player who’s gone on to play semi-pro volleyball and has become an advocate for mental health and positive body image. She shares her insights and stories via her podcast “The Hidden Opponent” and on stage at TED Talks. Joining her will be Eric Gross, a mental health therapist at the University of Louisville, who provides therapy, group and team meetings, as well as education to the coaches and staff.

The final episode of “Transparent Conversations” will tape from the floor of this year’s NCAA Women’s Volleyball finals on Sunday, Dec. 22 and will be available in mid-January wherever you get your podcasts.

The most recent episodes have tackled topics such as the importance of resilience, overcoming setbacks and balancing the entrepreneurial nature of NIL contracts and have been recorded at Rutgers University, The Ohio State University and the University of Tennessee. These episodes and others are live on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

MEXC and Hacken Launch AI Trading Safety Handbook to Promote Safer AI Adoption

Published

on

By

MUTSAMUDU, Comoros, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, and blockchain security, compliance, and regulatory assurance partner Hacken, have released the MEXC × Hacken AI Trading Safety Handbook, providing practical guidance on how users and platforms can use and deploy AI-assisted and automated trading tools more safely, from research and decision support through trade execution.

The handbook follows the recent MEXC AI Trading Report, which found strong interest in AI alongside clear demand for greater control. In MEXC’s 2026 survey, willingness to use automated trading rose from 55% to 71.8% when limits on funds, positions, leverage and losses were introduced.

As AI takes a more active role in trading, the handbook emphasizes that safety cannot rely on the AI model alone. AI-facilitated actions should be checked against separate permissions, financial limits and risk controls before execution. It covers risks including credential exposure, excessive permissions, manipulated data and unintended execution, while outlining practical safeguards for both users and platforms.

For users, the handbook sets out five safety checks: Ask, Verify, Limit, Control and Review. For platforms, it outlines five principles: Guard, Limit, Approve, Controls and Test. Together, they provide a practical framework for expanding the use of AI while keeping appropriate controls in place.

“AI can make trading more accessible and efficient, but greater capability should come with stronger safeguards,” said Vugar Usi Zade, CEO of MEXC. “At MEXC, we want users to benefit from innovation, while taking a measured approach to AI adoption. Our People First principle means giving users access to new capabilities without losing sight of control, transparency and risk.”

“AI agents will soon place more orders than people do. Trust in them should be earned the way smart contracts earned it: through independent controls, continuous red-teaming and evidence anyone can verify,” said Dyma Budorin, CEO and co-founder of Hacken. “This handbook is intended to raise awareness of those risks and provide practical support for both users and platforms. As adoption grows, platforms will need to test these safeguards continuously and strengthen them as new risks emerge.”

MEXC and Hacken hope the handbook can serve as a practical reference for users and platforms as AI becomes more deeply integrated into trading, helping raise risk awareness and support safer, more responsible adoption across the industry.
