The Social Media Episode

Top

The Social Dilemma, a documentary on the rise of social media and the damage it has caused to society, is one of the top shows on Netflix and it has us thinking.  On this episode of The Growth Equation Podcast, Brad and Steve tackle the issue of social media and its impact on our health and wellbeing.  They discuss the pros and cons of the most popular platforms, how they hijack our attention, and whether they should be more strongly regulated.  Brad and Steve discuss their own challenging relationships with social media, what it would take for them to leave the platforms all together, and the strategies they employ so that they can use (some of) the platforms in a (mostly) healthy and sustainable way.
