Welcome to the EmbraceLife.tech podcast! We're all concerned about keeping our kids safe online, but how can we best protect them? Mike Karlsven, Vice President of Technology and Enterprise Architect for Edge by Ascential joins us to talk about how we can help our kids take responsibility for their own online behavior. Drawing on his personal experiences and perspectives from raising his own kids in the smartphone generation, Mike helps us see that helping young people navigate the digital world begins with a real-life, non-digital solution.

As we say goodbye to Google+ in a couple of weeks, we pause to remember the stories of a platform where real people connected around topics that were mutually important to them, where they built communities that looked after one another, and where they created a world where everyone could be their authentic self. Philip Olsen, a Google+ moderator who built communities of nearly 50 million members and his cousin, Bryce Anderson, join us to remember the good days of Google+. The platform may have had its issues, but its bold vision laid the groundwork for the future of social media. Thank you, Google+!
