Is social media stealing our time, our focus, and even our childhood? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with poet, storyteller, and social media reformer Max Stossel. From building one of the early apps designed to hook attention, to now leading a global movement for mindful tech use, Max brings a rare insider’s perspective on how technology shapes our behavior — and how we can reclaim our lives.

We explore:

  • -The psychology behind addictive apps like Instagram & TikTok

  • -How parents can protect kids from screen overuse

  • -The role of AI in misinformation & relationships

  • -Building emotional resilience with daily rituals

  • -Why storytelling and poetry can heal our anxieties and inspire change

  • This is a profound, honest, and inspiring conversation that will change the way you view your phone — and yourself.
