On today's show we have Adam Smiley Poswolsky, or just Smiley as his friends know him, and Brady Gill (also known as Honey Bear). They both met through their involvement in Camp Grounded, a camp experience built for adults to disconnect from their digitals lives and connect deeply with others looking for friendship, meaning, and fun. In some ways, you couldn't have picked a more perfect atmosphere for a friendship to blossom, and more like a tree than a flower, the friendship of Smiley and Brady has grown to tower above the ground in which is was formed. It's worth noting that Smiley is a renowned author and speaker on fostering belonging and connection in the digital age, and for any fan of this show, his book Friendship in the age of Loneliness is a must-read. Brady Gill is also someone who has spent his career bringing people (and companies) closer, and you can see his work and hire him for your own engagement endeavors at Bradygillplay.com.

Adam Smiley Poswolsky, author of Friendship in the Age of Loneliness, joins us today to talk about the loneliness epidemic and the power of in-person friendships. Smiley shares his experience of digitally detoxing at ‘Camp Grounded' and the positive impact that this has on overcoming loneliness and finding purpose. We discuss how media can be a way-station to connect and meet others in real life, and the steps that can be taken to enhance meaningful friendships. Learn how to help your community form meaningful relationships through deep one-on-one connection and encouraging true friendship in community and the workplace. Who is this episode for?: Everyone 3 key takeaways: 1. Enhance meaningful friendships by nurturing one-on-one, in person connections, being more playful in your character and questions, and becoming a better friend to others. 2. Encourage friendship in the workplace and your community to reduce loneliness and create meaningful connections. Provide spaces for your community to discuss what they're going through, a safe space to check in, opportunity to play and team-build, a time to build friendships, etc. 3. Digitally Detoxing lessens feelings of loneliness and helps you become aware of your tech use, live a more balanced life, and focus on nurturing IRL relationships. Use tech and social media as the waystation to meet others, get new ideas, be inspired, find out about an event or community, and then use that to connect off the platform in real life. Notable Quotes: “If social media and tech are used as the way station where people meet people, get new ideas, get inspired, find out about a great product, find out about a great event or community and then they use that to connect off the platform....then the tech is actually contributing to meaningful connection.” “It's the disconnect between where your connection levels are and where you want them to be or where you think they should be. That's what loneliness is. It's that gap. And I think one of the reasons...has to be technology and social media. Because if you think about the disconnect, it's like, okay, here's how I feel. You know, everything's really hard, but then I'm spending the entire day looking at what everyone else is doing and where everyone else is, and the amazing places they might be, even if the photo is from three years ago and the people that they're with, wherever they are, being like, ‘Man, why didn't they invite me to hang out?' or ‘everyone's life is so cool' or ‘everyone's so connected and engaged and happy.' And I'm sitting here at home by myself on a Friday night looking at this damn phone. So, I mean, I think that has to be a big factor in it.” Rapid fire question answers: 1. What's your favorite book to recommend to others? The War of Art by Steven Pressfield 2. What's Your Go to Pump- Up Song?: Hang With Me - Robyn 3. What's your wildest community story?: The Starting Block Institute for Social Innovation - a leadership development program for people interested in social impact, social innovation, and social entrepreneurship. This experience spring boarded Smiley to moving to DC and become a writer and completely change the trajectory of his future. 4. What community builder would you want to take out for lunch? Priya Parker 5. What's a community product you wished existed?: An app or platform that provides the opportunity to say ‘hey do u want to connect over this person and get together in real life?' 6. What's the weirdest community you've been a part of? Zen as F*** 7. If you're on your deathbed and you could only leave one piece of life advice behind for all the future generations, what would that advice be? Find believers. Find more people that believe in the beauty of your dreams.

Tea. Is there anything more revered, historical, fabled, sought after, in the entire history of humanity? Some might argue wine, but there’s something special about a non-alcoholic beverage that can command so much respect and reverence. It tries to tell us a story in its very composition. Containing both caffeine to stimulate and theanine to calm the mind, it promotes the yin-yang balance in life that is so important and so valued in Eastern culture. Today’s guest, Travis Sigley, knows all about this balance and tries to cultivate the calmer, more connected side of tea drinking that is almost absent from Western culture. He tries to bring this knowledge and presence to the guests of his own teahouse and the campers at the adult summer camp, Camp Grounded. Today he’ll tell us about both.

We may be connected, but some say we’re not communicating.  The consequences could be dire.  A U.S. Army major says that social media are breaking up our “band of brothers,” and that soldiers who tweet rather than talk have less cohesion in combat. What’s the solution?  Maybe more connectivity to jump start conversation? The makers of Hello Barbie say its sophisticated speech recognition system will engage children in conversation.  But an alternative strategy is to go cold turkey: sign up for a device-free camp (for adults) or stuff a NoPhone in your pocket, and wean yourself from the real thing. But MIT’s Sherry Turkle says there’s only one solution: more face-to-face time.  Without it, we are in danger of losing our empathy.  Guests: John Spencer – Major in the United States Army, scholar at the Modern War Institute, United States Military Academy, West Point.  His op-ed, “A Band of Tweeters,” appeared in the New York Times.  Sarah Wulfeck – Head writer and creative director for Hello Barbie Oren Jacob – Chief Executive Officer, ToyTalk  Levi Felix – Founder, Digital Detox, director, Camp Grounded, summer camp for adults Van Gould -  Co-founder, NoPhone company Sherry Turkle – Professor, Social Studies of Science and Technology, MIT, and author of Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age

Camp grounded is a summer camp where adults bunk in cabins, play dodgeball, put on talent shows, sit around camp fires, play pranks and get their hands covered in paint. However, in 2015 we have so many distractions that make it near impossible for us to unplug and fully enjoy a camp experience. This is why Camp Grounded enforces a digital detox.  This is my conversation with Levi Felix, founder and CEO of Camp Grounded.  Note: We experienced some technical difficulty with reception and static interference, so I ask for your audio forgiveness. I cleaned up the file as best I could, but some clicks and pops remain. Thanks!

Chris is on the road interviewing students in the Master of Digital Media program at The Centre for Digital Media in Vancouver. In addition to the school and projects, we discuss how technology has changed the concept of ownership and we collectively miss the days of buying physical media. Armin Mortazavi stuck around from part one as we chatted with Carolyn Fung and Marina Lúcio. Carolyn was part of the True North team which put together 2 interactive experiences for the Vancouver Maritime Museum. Marina and team Maneki Neko developed a game for a company that we cannot disclose. Read more by clicking the team name. Chris wonders if there’s a cheat code to get the Miami Vice speed boat in the museum simulator. Armin shares that there are lots of cell phone cheats in Grand Theft Auto. All three guests discuss the program at the CDM. Collaboration, even between student teams is a huge part of the school. In contrast, Marina shares that her team’s client was on the other side of the world communicating voice-only through Skype. Since Marina never met the voice on the line Armin wonders, could the client be the Inspector Gadget’s nemesis? Carolyn was on the fence about leaving her career path to return to school, but she recommends you do it if you’re thinking about it. Do it in a flash! We discuss how fast technology moves and are curious how many people know what a floppy disk is? Carolyn tells us that there’s a movement of folks who are ant-technology. The documentary Deluged by Data features Camp Grounded where you can disconnect. We discuss the Oculus Rift and substituting a virtual reality for, well reality. Is the touch screen a good interface? It’s not exactly a tool. Armin is a spy and has no fingerprints which made it difficult for him to take the MCAT. Wait what? You can instantly print your iPhone pictures with a device strapped to your phone? Prynt case. Or you can try the Polaroid Zip. Arturo chimes in from the chat room to mention that USB seems to be disappearing as well. Since we don’t own anything, we can’t let people borrow things very easily. Marina tells us about the awkward Steam sharing. XBox One made sharing games difficut but changed their idea after consumers reacted negatively and PS4 made fun of them. Zip disks are evil as discussed on Film Frown. Be sure to check out Armin’s website biasedcat.blogspot.ca for his comics. Carolyn is on LinkedIn and Twitter. Look for Easter eggs in future games created by Marina Lúcio. Once again, the team blogs are True North, Maneki Neko and The Six.
