Private coaching spots are now open! Apply here.Oftentimes, in our dating journey, when things aren't working out or we can't seem to meet people….our minds go to someplace like: location. Location, location, location. Similar to real estate, we start thinking, It must be where I live. I just must not live in a great place to meet people.I have worked with people from (literally) all over the globe. From big cities to small towns, and everything in between. And I've witnessed every single person, no matter their whereabouts, struggle with where they live and think that's the reason they aren't meet people.In today's episode I'm digging into:Why it feels “helpful” to attach to the idea that our location, i.e. living in a place with not enough single people, is what's holding us backWhat we're actually searching for when we say “Maybe I need to go to more bookstores and coffee shops to meet people?”How beliefs like “Dating in my city is hard,” or “Not enough people in my city go out” are impacting us and influencing our behaviorHow it has way less to do with where we live and more to do with how we carry ourselves through this world and what we believe is possible/accessible for usHow you actually can meet someone anywhere, and what matters when it comes to opening yourself up to those opportunitiesWork with me PrivatelyConnect on InstagramWebsitePodcast Production by James Jorge

Welcome to the first episode of our new series “I'm the problem, it's me,” where I deep dive on the struggles and fuck-ups I've been facing lately, because let's be honest, sometimes we're the problem. And those experiences are usually our greatest teachers. Think of this as adulting confessions. And today, I'm calling bullshit on all of the complaining I do about how impossible it is to meet people, and how lonely I feel. Because the reality is, I've been optimizing myself out of human connection and removing all my chances for meeting new people in the name of efficiency. Social connection should never be a “reward” we have to earn by being productive and efficient, so I'm on a mission to rewrite how I meet new people and interact with my current network.Tune in as I unpack my problems, and the solutions I'm trying:How apps and automated deliveries have replaced human interaction The link between our social lives and healthspan What we can learn from the blue zones The plan to meet more like-minded friendsThe concept of the “premium effect” in datingBeing strategic about where and how I meet peopleHabit stacking tasks and creating community Our show is produced by:Gillian Berner, Host, Producer & EditorOlivia Nashmi, Audio EngineerKyla Killackey, Digital EditorCarolyn Schissler, Designer & Web ProducerFor advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

Meet people where they are in their journey. Enter the conversation that they are already having. Now, this takes some research and it takes some time. This takes some awareness. You need a feedback loop. You need to take the time and the effort to go out and see what your people that you're trying to attract into your world are doing. What are they already talking about? What are they already sharing, liking, engaging in? What are they commenting on? What are they already doing today? Because when we enter the conversation already knowing instead of being a stranger entering in an awkward kind of way, you'll be welcomed into the conversation. That, my friend, will completely change the way that you launch. It all starts with being intentional, entering the conversation they are already having and then guiding them into the step where you are able to help them.

One of the biggest lessons that I've learnt as a #professor is empathy. I've learned to meet people where they are. What do I mean by that? It means that I no longer try to convince people, but get them to bring themselves into the conversation. The idea is that you are joint problem-solving, where both of you might not necessarily know what the right answer is, but you begin with acknowledging other people, and how they're feeling. You begin by thinking about the stresses and anxieties that others feel, and then you approach the problem by thinking about how you can resolve the stresses and anxieties for somebody else. The idea is to connect with somebody first, rather than go to convincing. I've learnt this repeatedly, while writing my own research papers, that continuously get #rejected. You have to stand a line between what you know, and what other people are willing to accept. Sometimes what you know is just not ready for others, and you have to go to the line where other people are willing to accept. It often doesn't feel great when you do this, but you have to acknowledge how other people are feeling so that you can tackle the larger problem. You win the war by losing the battle.

Sending out an invitation - or being delivered one - can bring up a lot of emotions. Excitement. Dread. The fear of rejection. What do I wear? Will anyone come? DOES ANYONE LIKE ME? On this episode, we're RSVPing to the fraught feelings and unexpected places invitations take us. Lynn Sainté wants to relive her church choir days, so she's booked a venue, hired musicians, and made some chicken wings. Now she just needs people to show up and sing. Ify Chiwetelu joins Lynn as she stresses over what could go wrong, and stands at the door waiting to see who (if anyone) will actually show up. Every year, thousands of people in Canada wait for an official invitation to apply for Permanent Residency. But when his invite didn't show up, Mikita Arlou found himself in a desperate situation. The 26-year-old was facing imprisonment, or worse, in his home country of Belarus. With his future on the line… he sprang into action. Maya Turner had a dream to play football at the university level. But first, she needed to get invited for a tryout - which is hard to do when you're a late-blooming field kicker in a male-dominated sport. Find out how Maya became the first female athlete to play - and score - in a Canadian university football game, and what she has planned next. Ben Shannon and his 9-year old daughter love to whistle together. So on a lark one day, they decided to enter a whistling competition - and ended up getting invited to an international whistling event in Los Angeles. What happened when this father-daughter duo were faced with tough-talking whistling coaches and a case of stage fright? 'They said it couldn't be done.' That was the first line in Tess Healy and Wendy Young's wedding invitation, 20 years after they helped win a landmark court case that legalized same-sex marriage in BC. As they prepare for a wedding vow renewal ceremony to mark their 20th anniversary, Tess and Wendy reveal why they're still worried about uninvited guests. And how do you make sure you're not putting a financial burden on people you invite to a potentially expensive destination celebration? That's what Robert Keller was trying to figure out when making a guest list for his surprise stag party he knows nothing about. Plus, Ify heads to her friend Lynn's pop-up choir event, to see how many people responded to Lynn's open invitation.

Ever found yourself misjudging someone based on their online presence? We've all been there, forming hasty opinions about individuals before truly getting to know them. This episode of the Limitless Mindset Podcast urges us to set aside our biases and take time to understand the person behind the screen. Blake shares personal stories and shares a thought-provoking conversation with an agent who initially had a negative opinion about him, which was completely altered after a face-to-face interaction. Skipping the value that could come from an enlightening conversation based on preconceived notions is a loss to both parties involved. Social media, although a powerful tool, can unfortunately miss out on the depth and nuances of human interaction. Blake stresses the importance of not letting your assumptions cloud your judgement prematurely. At the heart of it all is the message that each of us is attempting to share through our online personas. Open up your mind, withhold judgement, and possibly uncover some enriching connections and valuable information along the way.

In this captivating episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Amanda Koss, who shares her valuable insights on how adopting a magnetic approach to dating can lead to more authentic and fulfilling experiences. Together, we explored the idea of embracing a more free-spirited attitude when meeting new people, so you can attract the right partner in the most genuine way possible.We also touched on the importance of understanding attachment styles and how societal pressures can impact women's approach to dating. Amanda provided some game-changing tips for interacting with guys in a different, yet more magnetic way, such as using dating apps like Tinder, focusing on getting to know one person while still keeping your options open, and being aware of your attachment style. We discussed how to recognize when you're in a magnetic state and the significance of going against what may feel natural, all while keeping your focus on having fun in the moment.As adults, we should never shy away from taking ownership of our sexual power and the freedom of choice when it comes to choosing a partner.

Grant covers 3 full-time outreach navigators, 1 part-time therapist housed in the E.D., 23-hour crisis resolution room, and a sobering center. Doesn't require cohort members to engage in treatment to receive program support. Allow the cohort member to be the expert in their lived experience, and allow them to identify what they need to be stable. Reducing recidivism by providing Law Enforcement options for diverting people to where they need to be, rather than incarcerating them due to lack of an appropriate treatment environment. IMPACTS can fund services that aren't traditionally covered by insurances, such as peer support, phone calls, showers, clothing needs, food, etc. Timely and thorough data is allowing better outreach and getting the correct people into the cohort. Outcomes indicate a cost reduction in healthcare and jail costs for the individuals in the cohort (approximately 333).

So one morning I'm at breakfast and I see a cute family, a mom, a dad, and a little boy. And I had noticed them the other day at breakfast and I actually had noticed them the evening before at dinner. We had landed at the same restaurant probably cuz the concierge always sends you to the same restaurant. Do you guys know that out there? Totally true. Totally true. And, The little boy is just being so well behaved. And I remember when my kids were little that it was really difficult in a restaurant to be kids. Kristina Supler: Oh, he has such anxiety going to a restaurant with these kids. Oh yeah.  Susan Stone: Yeah. Talking to the mother, she there, she's fascinating. She was really lovely. Fa. They're from the UK and I said, I cannot believe how well behaved your son is. I remember when my kids were little and you know how well they're doing on this trip to Portugal. While it was a lovely romantic vacation for my hus, hubby and I. I didn't really see it as a place for  Kristina Supler: kids families.  Susan Stone: Yeah. I mean it was, there were a lot of family, but when, I think when my kids were little mm-hmm. They just wanted to splish splash at the pool. Do kid stuff. I did a lot of kid stuff and she said,I really believe that to raise children, they need to be bored and come up with their own creativity. And in theory, I play by that rule too. Kids need to engage in imaginative play. But Kristina, the kid's face was glued  Kristina Supler: to a tablet, let me guess.  Susan Stone: To a tablet. I'm like, I saw where you were going with this. Ah, that is not imaginative play. In my days, I would give my kids blank paper, not even coloring books. And some crayons at a restaurant and say, Keep yourself busy, dude. And then they didn't, they misbehaved, but that stuck with me. Sure.  Kristina Supler: it's in this day and age when in any situation for kids, the minute there's like even a hint of misbehavior, you give them a device.  And even for adults, if you think about it in an awkward situation, you have time to kill. What do we do? We immediately turn to our devices versus looking around us talking to a stranger. Looking at something, on, on the street. It's just, we are so into our devices, whether it's kids or adults.  Susan Stone: Oh, how many times have you gone out to dinner with someone in their faces of, in their phone. And I've done it. And I'm not judging this parent because you know what? I didn't have that available when I raised my kids dad. Sure.  Kristina Supler: And I just also, as a working mom, I just have, I just think about you have a long day. You wanna enjoy an evening out with your family, with your kids. You wanna have family time. And then something starts to unravel or someone's a little cranky, or who knows what the situation is. It's, I get it. Like it's easy to just say, here, honey. Okay. Look at my phone.  Susan Stone: And so is the tablet, the older kid pacifier.  Kristina Supler: Sure. Look at that. I think so. yes. The tablet is the modern day Passy. There you go. There you go.  Susan Stone: There's your baby Bop. Or as Josh, I'm gonna embarrass you out there. He used to call him his baby ah. But why don't you introduce our guest.  Kristina Supler: Sure. So today we are really happy to be talking with Andrew Fishman. and we're gonna talk. Hi Andrew.  Andrew Fishman: Hello. I'm happy to hear here.  Kristina Supler: Welcome Andrew. Andrew's a licensed clinical social worker and therapist based in the Chicago area. He specializes in working with adolescents certified in treating video game addiction. Andrew is dedicated to addressing the challenges faced by young individuals in today's digital world. Passes everywhere. He actively contributes in the field that's good, in the field of video games and mental health by sharing his insights and knowledge through his articles on Psychology Today.  Andrew's expertise has garnered attention beyond the realm of therapy. He's been featured in publications like The Wall Street Journal and Al Jazeera. He's also given a host of Noteworthy speeches.  Today, what drew us to Andrew was an article that appeared in Psychology Today entitled, Why So Many Teens use Video Games to Meet others. And so this is a cool topic that we're gonna jump into. And again, Andrew, we're really happy to have you with us today. Welcome. Thank you again.  Susan Stone: So let's kick it off. Your article, which I have right here with me. Why so many teens use video games to meet others. Your premise is that the video games have become the new mall where kids meet. Can you, yeah. Talk about this and elaborate a little more.  Andrew Fishman: So kids really want to spend time with each other in person. But it's where can they go? They wanna hang out with each other in person. But they just there's nowhere to do it. When I was a kid, we had all sorts of places to go. That was 20 years ago. But all those places I looked at them, they're all closed, oh yeah.  Susan Stone: Or you don't feel safe sending them. My dad used to drop me off at the mall. Kristina Supler: I was gonna say, and my day, it was Camelot music. We all went and hung music store. So I, there's not a lot of places. For kids to go, I'm saying kids, but teens, young adults and people's houses. Susan Stone: Why not mm-hmm. The basement.  Andrew Fishman: Yeah. No, that's it. that's great. And that's one of the places that they have. I think part of the problem with, for my clients at least, is how do you get to those places? Mm-hmm. With both your parents now work. You're,and you don't have a car yet. You can't go to their, you can't go to somebody else's house. And a lot of the parents don't want their kids going anywhere during, on a school night, which makes a certain amount of sense, but that's now five sevenths of your week that you can't see other people. And so they're they come home on a Monday night and they're exhausted from school and they wanna see somebody else. They wanna talk to a peer. And their options are calling somebody on the phone, which nobody does, or they can,or they can text each other, which a lot of them do. Or they on, on Snapchat or something. Or they can have a long fun voice chat while sharing a game and that, so those, what they call third spaces, which is the place other than school or work or home, the malls, the bowling alleys, the churches, all sorts, the places we used to meet people. This has become their third place where you go home after school and you can go to a virtual third place and spend as much time with your friends as you want. And so it, it certainly makes sense that you would go there.  Susan Stone: How do you talk to each other? Or are you just playing? Explain how it works to this. Kristina Supler: Are people who are in these online communities only talking about the video games? Are these people talking about, I don't know, favorite food sports team's life?  Andrew Fishman: it depends on the game, but generally, yeah. People talk about all sorts of things when they're with friends. People talk about their day. They complain about teachers. They, do all the typical adolescent conversations and even if they're not, Talking about their lives outside of the games and they're just talking about it. I still think it's a positive experience.  Susan Stone: Wait, are they talking or is it texting?  Andrew Fishman: That's a, it's a good question. There's both. So some of the games, most games, if there's a multiplayer component, will have a text feature in the game. Some of them also have a voice chat, and there's also supplementary apps you can use. There's one that's really popular called Discord. It's a website and Yep. So it's for listeners, it's a website or app that you can use to communicate and build little virtual communities. I have, I, I met a few of them myself, and they're fun, but you, it also has a feature where you can just, make a group of friends and then set everybody up with a headset and then chat on this external app while playing a while, playing a game. Kristina Supler: Andrew, these online gaming communities,they're obviously extremely popular. Were they popular pre covid d or do you think Covid really caused the huge surge in, in the involvement of young people in these online communities?  Andrew Fishman: Actually, I think I, they've always been popular. I think that it's certainly, there, there was definitely a surge. And I think a lot of the surge was people much older than adolescents where I, I wasn't always online talking to people that's ing about adults,  Kristina Supler: I think. Andrew Fishman: Huh? Yeah. And so suddenly I was alone in my apartment. I just, I needed something to do. And I wasn't allowed to go outside for a lot of it. And so I could go to, somebody's virtual island in Animal Crossing and go run around and catch bugs there. And so that was just a nice way to spend time with other people. And so there was definitely a surge. I think the surge might have happened with our age kind of people though.  Susan Stone: Can, is it limited to your own friend group or can strangers infiltrate? Is this state?  Andrew Fishman: That's a really important point. So there are many people just talk to their friends. Some people only talk to the people on their team. If you're playing a team-based game, us versus them. And sometimes you're just open to anybody who's around. You can hear you talk and you can talk to them. They can talk to you.  I don't like that. I don't like that.  Right? And so and so that gets ugly really quickly. I hate that. I don't usually use it at all. Because as soon as I turn on a game, if I have what's called public chat on. There are slurs. There's derogatory comments made. There's ju offensive things said pretty quickly. I don't know that I've ever turned on and been turned on a game and really been happy with the conversation for the whole time. And so most of the time I just turn off the public chat option.  Susan Stone: I'm gonna ask you a question, Kristina. Sure. And then I wanna know what the expert has to think. Would you allow your youngest is how old for our listening?  Kristina Supler: almost 10.  Susan Stone: Would you allow your 10 year old to play this type of game? And I'd like to know what Andrew thinks about what age is appropriate.  Kristina Supler: Chatting and interacting with others. No. But Animal Crossing for example, is fairly benign. My son does play Animal Crossing and I watched it and it's a little animal game with the, the settings and the, age specification for, you know, the version we bought. But I mean, what do you think on that, Andrew? In terms of kids, let's say grade school, third, fourth, fifth, even sixth grade, and in these online games with the community interaction component in chatting? Susan Stone: Yeah. What age should you, what age is recommended in your professional opinion? Andrew Fishman: I think it depends on the kid and the level of maturity. So for public chat, I wouldn't let them use it until 16, 17 at the earliest. If they're old enough to, if they're mature enough to handle hearing some really heinous things. And they know how to handle them. For chat or chatting with their friends, that's a different story for me. if you would let them talk to their friends on the phone unsupervised, it's probably fine to have them talk to each other while playing a game. That doesn't bother me at all. But public chat even I turn that off most of the time. Cause it's bad in some places.  Susan Stone: Do you think we should put a time restriction on how long your, you let your kid play? Because you would let your kid go to the mall for hours? Andrew Fishman: And so there is some evidence that being on screens for too long every day is harmful. But it depends. I guess what the alternative is if they are, if they have the option to go to soccer practice, that's probably better for their physical health than their mental health is to be running around and being with people in person. But if not, if they would be sitting and playing a video game by themselves versus playing it with friends, that's, I wouldn't encourage with friends anyway. And if they're not showing any signs of video games doing harm to them. There's probably not much of an issue with sitting around and playing for several hours. Kristina Supler: Andrew, I can just imagine my peers, my friends, and Susan and I were based in Cleveland. And so though we're not in Chicago or New York, we're also not in a total social desert. And I can just hear people I know saying, why would anyone prefer this online socialization? I don't get it. So can you shed some light on why, in fact, some people do prefer online socialization?  Andrew Fishman: It's a lot easier for some people. It's, it might be the only thing that's possible for some of them. So take for instance, somebody who has depression. It is just by definition, really hard to get out of bed. You have low mood. It is hard for you to just find the energy to do anything. Let alone set up plans. And then leave the house and get dressed and showered, and then go out and get to the place and then have to use all this energy to socialize if you know the way you want to. That might just, that might literally not be possible for some people. You are,  Susan Stone: Would you say from a therapeutic perspective, the goal is to maybe use it for scaffolding? Or do you think it's enough for some people? Meaning would you say, if someone has severe depression, okay, why don't we start here, but I really wanna get you, so you're going to a party and not abstaining from a party. Or do you think, why are we, this works if it's not broken. And this person can socialize this way, who cares? What's the downside?  Andrew Fishman: And a lot of the time I do want to use it as a scaffolding, as a less bad option. Because it's research shows that it's not as good to be online as it is to be in person. I think we all, that's gonna be my question. Yep. And so it's better than not having a person to talk to for sure. But it is not as good as going out to a party if you're, if you have the ability to do. And so we're comparing, I think, three categories of people. One is the people who just can't. Who do not have the ability to make friends in person for a variety of reasons. People who can, but it's difficult. And then people who really it's a choice. they go out all the time and they also wanna supplement that with games. And so each one of those, I would encourage to be in person whenever possible. But it sounds like for each of those three categories and people, and for all of us, if you, if your choice is being isolated and alone in your place, or to be sharing even a virtual space with somebody else, that's probably better for your mental health, just as a social animal. Susan Stone: What about playing, having someone over and playing chess or Monopoly or Scrabble or banana grams?  Kristina Supler: I think though what I'm hearing Andrew say is that for many that's just not an option for potentially a variety of reasons. And so I think that, I don't know. Would anyone disagree that having a friend over to play a board game is preferred to online social interaction? Probably not. But maybe for whatever reason, you have an ill family member, you live in the middle of nowhere, who knows? maybe you can't.  Susan Stone: Andrew what? I, two good points. Kristina w  Kristina Supler: So we read a lot in the news and in magazines and newspapers about the negative effects of video games, video game addiction. The who?  Susan Stone: Yeah. Online addiction. You're your thing, right?  Kristina Supler: Yep. Or the, the predators trolling these online chat groups. And some. Really fear the internet in terms of allowing their children to have interaction with it. In your opinion, what are some of the red flags that parents should really watch out for in terms of gauging whether their child's use of the internet is becoming problematic? Susan Stone: And is video addiction a, is it real or is it just not? No limitations.  Andrew Fishman: That's, I think you're heading at the heart of something really important is that there isn't a psychological, there isn't a, a consensus yet. So there's a thing called the dsm. You may or not be familiar with it. It's what psychologists and psychiatrists use to diagnose people. Video game addiction is in there. But only in the back as a condition for future study. So they're, they're aware of it. They're researching it. They're not sure whether to put it in or not. But some of those criteria that they're suggesting might be in there are what you would expect.  The letting it interfere with your schoolwork or, professional life. If you're choosing to play a game, instead of hanging out with people in person. If you are choosing, if you're. Spending more money on games than you can afford.  Kristina Supler: Sounds like any vice really.  Andrew Fishman: Yeah, it is. Yes. Where if it is starting to affect the, your quality of life, it's affecting the way that you live and you have lost control over it. That it's like any vice. But this, it seems like this is, video games are intentionally made to be habit forming. So it does feel a little more specific, like a kind of addiction rather than, let's say eating or, golf. Because, you could have the same kind of problems with golf where you would go there instead of Thanksgiving. And you could choose to ignore other people and spend a ton of money on it. But golf isn't specifically made to be addicting like video games are.  Susan Stone: I read an article that people get little dopamine hits. When they play video games. Is that real?  Kristina Supler: Yes. So like the slots in  Andrew Fishman: Vegas Uhhuh. Yeah. So I think that's a little bit of a, it is technically correct. But I think that's overblown because technically anything you enjoy gives you dopamine. And so that's just the mechanism by which your brain tells you that something is fun. And so when people say, well, video games give you dopamine, and so does heroin, that's not a fair comparison. Eating something gives you dopamine too. Really anything that you, you know that makes you smile is gotta give you dopamine. And so for me, an ice cream Sunday,  Kristina Supler: I was just, yes, ice cream Sunday gives you, which I save ice cream Sunday might give. Not really because like it genuinely makes me happy.  Susan Stone: Oh my gosh. A little hot fudge and whipped cream and some salted pe. We've gotta go to Mitchell today. It is my birthday today. So I want a Sundae yay. Thanks. Thanks. I get to be with you Andrew. Now we're socializing right now. I'm getting to know you. Mm-hmm.  Kristina Supler: So what are your thoughts, Andrew, in terms of guardrails that parents can put in place to help their kids find the balance between, Okay. Online socialization, good outlet. But also, as Susan says, have a friend over for a board game or go play soccer with some classmates. Go ride your bike, whatever. What are your thoughts on parameters parents can put into place?  Susan Stone: Or walk The dog Love Dog  Kristina Supler: and the dog. Walk my kids to help walk the dogs. Walk the dog.  Andrew Fishman: One thing I often recommend to parents is to not take the games away. As much as add other things in. In their place. I love that. So if you're, if you're going to tell your kid, all right, you're playing too many video games, you should, we're gonna live at you to an hour a day and you haven't filled that time with something else, then they're going to want to play more and more. They're gonna complain. They're going want to do that. If you then say, all right, let's get your ballet lessons. That sounds fun. Let's do that two days a week. You have expressed interest in that. Let's get you going.  Kristina Supler: Wasn't it also human nature? The minute you tell someone they can't have something that's prohibited, it's all you want.  Susan Stone: Yeah.  I still remember Saturday nights at home when watching my lineup was Love Boat and Fantasy Island and you've just aged yourself. I just did, but and I would spend sometimes, and then Sunday morning cartoons, I could watch those for hours. Is this healthier than regular tv?  Andrew Fishman: There actually isn't very much evidence to suggest that it's any better or worse. Interesting that you are being more active while you're playing a video game. So if anything that aspect is, is better, but it's. would you rather be playing a game or watching somebody else play one or watching somebody else or just passively watching Netflix for several hours. Or engaging with your friends in a virtual space. Kristina Supler: That's a great point, Susan. Cause I hadn't thought about that in terms of, is playing a video game really all that different from just watching tv? Mm-hmm. Arguably not. And yet, some might argue that video games are unfairly vilified versus A kid plopped in front of the television on Netflix for three, four hours. Susan Stone: What I get concerned about though, is I'm a big pleasure reader. As are you. I am, I love to curl up with a good book and a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. I'm not that picky on my beverages. But do you think Andrew kids are just reading for pleasure anymore?  Andrew Fishman: I think yes. I think it depends on the kid and it depends on the environment they grew up in. I think that people watch their parents more than they realize. And so if you are the kind of person who is saying, you should be reading more and you mean it, but you are on your phone playing Candy Crush for several hours a day, they see that. Yeah. They see that. That's what people do.  Where if you are the kind of person who shows them through your actions of other things to do. If you are the kind of person who does dedicate time to reading, they might pick that up. If you read with them and or find books, go to the library, find books recommended for them. Find that ones that they would really enjoy. A lot of kids would choose a book  Susan Stone: Or cooking. I spent a lot of time with my 17 year old in the kitchen and we cook some wacky things.  Kristina Supler: But I love the, it's just food for thought for parents in terms of, no pun intended. There you go. The environmental influence, sometimes Susan and I deal with parents who all over the country are dealing with various issues tied to, you know, a child being in crisis and kids, students of all ages. And sometimes it's, we get these cases with these really big issues. and there's all these therapists and counselors and you name it with outside professionals involved.  And sometimes it's like the easiest, not easiest, but simple things shouldn't be overlooked. You want your kid to read, have books in your house. You want your child to do be more active. Ha spend less time online with video games. Provide other options. Have other stuff in the house available. It's just, I, as we're talking, I'm just thinking about like the importance of not overlooking basics. Susan Stone: I'm a big fan of KISS method. Keep it simple. So were any other parting thoughts? Is there anything we haven't asked you that you really need our listeners to know about what you do? Warning signs, benefits, the floors open. I'm gonna say take your best shot.  Andrew Fishman: I think one thing that I really want to address is the game Roblox. Because it's the most popular game. It's the most popular game for I think, five to 12 year olds, or was last year at least. It's a, it is a people misunderstand it. They think it is a game. it's a platform for building and playing games. So all of the games you look like a little Lego person running around. It's very blocky, very sort of Minecraft aesthetic. But you can make any game you want using this software. So I think there's, I think there are 4 million different games people to, for people to join. Like different, you can play tag or you can play a shooting game or you can raise pets. Or you can, there, there are millions literally of, different kinds of games you can play. And it is as complicated as that because it's so varied. They, the social environment in a game where people are gardening for fun is gonna be very different than one where people are playing something for doing something violent.  There was shooting, yeah, there was a really notorious example that they took down. But existed for some time. Was there was a on Roblox? on Roblox? Yes. Okay. So this was something you could go to, And join at least pub publicly for at least a while before they caught it and took it down. But there was a concentration camp simulator.  Kristina Supler: Oh my God. Oh my gosh.  Andrew Fishman: Which is, which is like the worst thing I could possibly think of for people to be going, I to be going and participating in. And this was not meant to be ed educational or anything. This was just for fun doing some really hateful things. And so the people in that community are gonna be very different than the people in the other ones. And so parents here, I'm going on Roblox, and they think, okay, Roblox is fine. Roblox is a catchall term for a lot of things. Some of which are great and some of which are really not. And so I think parents should be careful which games they're playing on Roblox to play with them to see what kind of game culture they're experiencing. There's voice chat in the game itself. So if they can turn that on, then anybody can talk to you if you set, if you have that set onto, if you have that, setting set on. So that's something to be really careful about. And more than anything, I'd recommend that parents try the games themselves and play with a play along with their kids. Just say, Hey, you can playing that a lot. let me, can you show me how to do that?  Susan Stone: That's tonight's dinner conversation. You know what I do with my, daughter every night? We Wordle. Awesome.  Kristina Supler: I love Wordle. My kids are big Wordlers too, but I'm not.  Susan Stone: Yeah, you're not a Wordler.  Kristina Supler: I'm not a wordler, but my kids like that. I love Wordle. Yeah.  Susan Stone: Yeah. I love world Wordle. And actually it's interesting because I learn things about my daughter every time I play Wordle in terms of strategy. She's far more strategic than I am I this roadblock though. Listeners out there,  Kristina Supler: good tip for parents. Really play the games with your kids. Know exactly what the games entail. That's, again, really straightforward advice, but excellent advice and.  Susan Stone: Ask questions. Wow. Wow. We packed a lot in 30 minutes. You did.  Kristina Supler: Well, thanks for joining us, Andrew. It was a real, thank you so much for having me. Yeah, it was a good time chatting with you about these online communities and the gaming world. And I think that you've, demystified some points for us and I think helped us, you know, or hopefully helped our listeners recognize that there's some good in there too. And think about your own child and your circumstances and your family and just know what's going on with the game. So thanks.  Susan Stone: I'm still on Roblox I can't get off of it, but thank you.  Andrew Fishman: So I don't wanna vilify Roblox. There's a lot of good there too. There's a lot of safe communities for kids. But there's just be careful. Talk to your kids. Play the games with your kids. J. Make your own decision as a parent. Yeah. But thank you so much for having me. Bye-Bye. Thank you. 

Meet people where they are in their journey. Enter the conversation that they are already having. Now, this takes some research and it takes some time. This takes some awareness. You need a feedback loop. You need to take the time and the effort to go out and see what your people that you're trying to attract into your world are doing. What are they already talking about? What are they already sharing, liking, engaging in? What are they commenting on? What are they already doing today? Because when we enter the conversation already knowing instead of being a stranger entering in an awkward kind of way, you'll be welcomed into the conversation. That, my friend, will completely change the way that you launch. It all starts with being intentional, entering the conversation they are already having and then guiding them into the step where you are able to help them.

The video of our conversation is ⁠⁠⁠here on YouTube⁠⁠⁠. We discuss: 00:00 Welcome 01:33 Ashley Intro - 16 years at #PETA: public campaigns, celebrities... "enjoying every minute of it" 03:18 What Matters - #ChristianScience "there was never a divide... this is science & this is god... a lot of spirituality" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Science (see risks re: prayer vs. medicine) - Father "a non-practising Catholic... not a religious person but was very supportive of... that part of my mother's life" - Personal relationship with god "connect directly with this spiritual part of your life" - More a spiritual, all-pervasive god than a "judgemental, human figure" - Rejecting "we judge everything based on a human worldview" - Universally accessible rather than in/out-group based - "Not telling you what to do" - Religious vs. scientific views of reality "It never occurred to me that those things could be incompatible" - Spiritual rather than literal interpretation of the #bible - "#spiritually I really still do identify with these ideas & these values" - "Macro spiritual concepts of love... that bring us out of what's right in front of us" - "Isn't so much of science trying to go bigger & deeper" - Science that we don't yet understand that can sometimes be anticipated by mystical/spiritual thinking - Ontological (what's real?) & epistemological (how should we work it out?) naturalism - Risks of wishful thinking - #faith vs. #naturalism "I'm the latter... the evidence" - Is there evidence that would lead you to reject Christian Science? "it's more of a spiritual practice" - "#spirituality ... it is a scientific pursuit... our ideas of science are too limited" - Risks of dogma / harmful & discriminatory ethics in religious/supernatural worldviews - "If you have an ethical question about the world you should be going back & working it out with these spiritual tools" - Growing up in #losangeles - One 8th grade term in a Southern #Baptist school "pamphlets in the office that told you why every other religion in the world was wrong & sinful - mine was in there" - "You're going to hell!" - "I was constantly being told 'be quiet, sit down, stop asking questions'... I remember the word 'obey' was used a lot"... "I didn't get it... why can't you answer these questions?" - The #trauma caused by religious beliefs (e.g. threat of hell) - Secularism & kids learning about multilple worldviews 41:08 What Matters? - "My parents really laid the foundation... for my sense of ethics... each coming from their own respective backgrounds... two extremely ethical, thoughtful, kind, intelligent people." - You don't need an old book to be a good person... universal goods - "Goodness is something more primal than that [#divinecommandtheory]" 45:30 Who Matters? - "I grew up in an animal loving household... unquestionably family members" - The family dog: "She loved me and I loved her" - "There was never any idea that these weren't individuals" 01:16:33 How Can We Make A Better Future? ...and much more.

If you had to reflect on your life, what would be your defining moment? For Harper Spero, it was walking in NYC one day and, out of the blue, being unable to breathe. Harper has a rare Immunodeficiency called hyper IGE syndrome (there are only 300 people diagnosed in the world) and, after a life-altering surgery, decided to change the entire trajectory of her career. "The doctor said, 'You have a cyst the size of a golf ball in your right lung, and you need surgery immediately to remove it.' Everything about my life is before that call and after that call. It was such a defining moment." After the surgery, Harper realized that she needed to prioritize her health and mental well-being, which led her to leave her job in the beauty industry and explore other career options. She eventually found a job with a boss who prioritized personal development and wellness, which gave her the accommodations she needed to take care of herself. It was that role and a chance meeting that would lead to her discovering her love of coaching. After completing her certification in 2014 to become a professional coach, today Harper supports solopreneurs and small business owners in brainstorming, launching, and building their businesses. She is often referred to as the external COO/CMO of her client's businesses. In 2018, after years of not finding content related to her rare condition that resonated with her, Harper launched Made Visible, a podcast that amplifies the stories of people living with or affected by invisible illness. In 2020, she began facilitating writing classes for the Made Visible community to give them a safe place to share, feel more seen and heard, and learn from established authors. She is working with companies to create content, community, and inclusivity amongst employees living with invisible illnesses to have and experience support from their employers. In this episode, Harper and I discuss what it means to have health get in the way of a career and why it's imperative to prioritize and advocate for yourself in the workplace. We also dive into Harper's superior skills in making authentic connections, writing a compelling pitch, how she never fails to meet a deadline or a follow-up, and so much more.
