Dr. Justin Coulson speaks with former Disney executive and GameTruck founder Scott Novis about the hidden dangers of video games—and how parents can help their kids develop a healthy relationship with gaming. From understanding addictive design to replacing screen time with real-world connection, this conversation delivers practical, real-world solutions for every family navigating the digital age. KEY POINTS Addiction by Design: Some game developers deliberately design games using the "hook algorithm" to exploit children’s brain development and keep them playing compulsively. Self-Determination vs. Hooked Gaming: Games built on autonomy, mastery, and relatedness (like Minecraft) build skills and confidence. Hooked games create craving, not satisfaction. 3 Hacks for Safer Gaming: Buy the game (don’t use free-to-play). Play offline (limits tracking and manipulation). Listen to how your child talks about the game (progress = good, frustration = red flag). Ending Game Time Without Conflict: Pre-agree on ending conditions, give non-verbal cues (like flicking the lights), and offer choices that preserve agency. Offline Substitutes Matter: Create "hard to enter, hard to leave" real-life communities (e.g., sports, jiu-jitsu, Dungeons & Dragons) that offer connection, skill-building, and purpose. Social Disconnection: Excessive gaming and screen time can cause “virtual autism” and impair emotional and social development. The Goal: Return to a play-based childhood that prioritises real-world connection, effort, and fun. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “If your child sounds like a victim when they talk about the game—they’re in trouble. If they sound empowered, they’re probably playing a good game.”— Scott Novis RESOURCES MENTIONED Books: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt Glued to Games by Scott Rigby & Richard Ryan Scattered Minds by Dr. Gabor Maté Miss Connection by Dr. Justin Coulson Websites: https://www.scottnovis.com/ – Scott's personal site gametruck.com – Scott's company for social gaming experiences Article: William Siu's essay in The New York Times on game addiction and design ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Buy Games, Not AddictionsChoose paid games that don’t rely on manipulating your child’s attention or money. Play Offline Whenever PossibleRemove always-on connectivity that allows companies to track and shape behaviour. Ask the Right QuestionsIs your child developing skills—or just chasing random rewards? Listen for signs of empowerment or frustration. Negotiate Game Time Up FrontPre-agree on stop times and methods, give warnings (e.g., flicking lights), and honour your child’s autonomy. Replace, Don’t Just RemoveReplace screen time with rich, social, skill-building real-world activities—like sports, martial arts, tabletop games, or outdoor adventures. No Screens in BedroomsSet screen bedtimes. Keep devices out of reach at night to prevent secret play. Get InvolvedPlay games with your kids—even if you're bad at them. Model effort, learning, and connection. Watch for Red FlagsLook for sleep disruption, secretive behaviour, rage quitting, or declining school performance.

In this lighthearted episode of the Happy Families Podcast, we revisit some of the funniest and most unexpected things kids say when learning about where babies come from. Inspired by our interview last week with parenting educator Michelle Mitchell and her book Where Do Babies Come From?, we share some laugh-out-loud stories that remind us how curious—and hilarious—kids can be. We also reflect on the importance of connection, structure, and giving kids something to look forward to. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Let’s create our own purpose together.”— Justin Coulson, reflecting on how one dad helped his son rediscover joy and meaning through shared outdoor adventures. RESOURCES MENTIONED Michelle Mitchell's books: Where Do Babies Come From? The Girl's Guide to Puberty The Guy's Guide to Puberty Upcoming episode:Interview with Scott Novis, former VP at Disney, about managing kids and gaming without conflict (drops on Saturday!). ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Have the Talk—Early and Openly:Use age-appropriate, fact-based resources like Michelle Mitchell’s books to guide conversations about sex and puberty. Laugh Together:Don’t be afraid to see the humour in awkward conversations—sharing a laugh builds trust and openness. Create Connection Through Experience:Take time to plan simple but meaningful activities with your kids (e.g., camping, biking, time outdoors) that foster relationship and reduce reliance on screens. Build and Maintain Structure:Life can throw curveballs, but having a flexible routine helps maintain emotional and mental stability for the whole family. Don’t Give Up on Change:Implementing new habits is hard, especially in chaos, but small intentional resets make a big difference. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is your child’s gaming habit harmless fun—or something more serious? In this episode, Justin and Kylie Coulson share highlights from an eye-opening conversation with Scott Novis, a former Disney and Nintendo gaming executive. They discuss how modern games are designed to hook kids using sophisticated psychological techniques, what parents can do to support healthier habits, and the small shifts that make big differences in digital wellbeing. KEY POINTS The "Hooked Algorithm": Modern games use cues, unpredictable rewards, and psychological manipulation to drive compulsive use—especially among kids. Addiction Is by Design: Notifications, in-game incentives, and persistent online features are engineered to steal attention and limit agency. Console Games vs. Online Games: Games played offline on a console with a defined endpoint are less addictive than online, never-ending games. Digital Detox Strategies: Removing screens, increasing nature time, and focusing on physical activity can reset unhealthy patterns. Agency is the Key: Healthy gaming promotes a sense of control and mastery. Unhealthy games rob kids of their agency and drive compulsive behaviour. Warning Signs: Sleep disturbances, sneaky screen use, emotional outbursts, or secretive behaviours may signal an unhealthy gaming relationship. Parents Aren’t Immune: Even adults struggle with screen control—our own detox experiences can inform how we guide our kids. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Are these games reinforcing their sense of agency—or deleting it?” — Scott Novis RESOURCES MENTIONED Upcoming full interview with Scott Novis (drops Saturday) Book: Stolen Focus by Johann Hari (referenced) HappyFamilies.com.au – screen-time webinars and parenting resources ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Know the Hook: Understand how modern games manipulate attention and behaviour using psychological rewards. Audit the Games: Prioritise offline games with defined endings. Avoid always-on, online, in-app-reward-driven games. Turn Off Notifications: Disable alerts to reduce temptation and constant interruption. Create Tech-Free Routines: Set clear screen bedtimes and keep devices out of bedrooms. Watch for Warning Signs: Pay attention to sleep issues, irritability, or secretive behaviours. Detox Together: Plan regular family screen detoxes—go offline, get into nature, and rediscover agency. Talk Openly: Ask your kids how games make them feel—listen without judgement and create a collaborative plan for balance. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a world where we are exposed to and have access to more information than ever, and where we're working increasingly at a distance from others, but still expected to collaborate, share and learn, Personal Knowledge Management or PKM, is a modern way to synthesise the myriad of information we are exposed to today. It works in a way that is both intuitive and gives us access to a range of insight at our fingertips. Andy Goram talks to Scott Novis, who spent decades as a Video Games Exec and a VP at Disney, who says that PKM was a game-changer for him, making him more productive, happier and less overwhelmed.

Transitioning from in-person work to work-from-anywhere teams is undoubtedly different. Building culture, connectivity, collaboration, and engagement can be awkward. How can businesses create the space to collaborate, connect, and communicate in a remote and hybrid workplace? Scott Novis, Founder of GameTruck, believes we need to be intentional about playing together and that the disconnection and loneliness that remote workers feel can be flipped through fun and games. During this episode, Scott shares what leaders can do to be more intentional about sustaining culture, connecting, collaborating, and communicating with remote teams.

Episode 224: Having Fun with Video Games in the Workplace with Scott Novis We have entered a new era with more and more people working remotely.  It's safe to say, many companies will permanently adopt some form of a hybrid workforce.  There are many reasons why working remotely is a good idea from cost savings to no more long commutes. However, a hybrid workforce does not come without challenges.  Many people find themselves working in isolation and feeling disconnected. They used to stop by a colleague's desk or have lunch with a friend. There were after-work activities and celebrations for birthdays and major events.  People didn't realize the impact these activities had on team building and keeping employees engaged. There was already very little fun at work, but now it's almost non-existent. This new normal can easily lead to unproductive employees, lack of communication, and resignations. Is it okay to have fun at work? As a team member or leader, what can you do to create a strong team and create an environment where people, including you, are fully engaged and want to come to work? In this episode, Scott Novis discusses how playing video games, might just be what your team needs to go from surviving to thriving.    Connect with Scott: https://www.bravous.com/play Connect with your host, Carolyn: https://carolyn360.com

David don't do games, but Scott Novis, founder of Bravous, connects people through play.  Enjoy this thought-provoking conversation finding innovative ways to engage your in-person, hybrid, and remote team members.  Have you noticed that often teams are not united like they used to be?  Emerging technologies, global pandemics, and a desire for more employee independence have led to team disconnection. Scott believes he has a solution:  Let's play online games together!  He passionately believes in-person, hybrid, and remote employees connect during virtual video game events.  The games breakdown the barriers of isolation.  Work, college, friend, any group of people can play Bravous games to relieve tension and improve relationships. Listen to David question Scott about his conclusions.  David's skeptical about online games because he's not a gamer.  Try Bravous free!  They offer a “funinar” weekly where your remote, hybrid, or in-person team can test whether online gaming can strengthen your company culture.

On this week's episode of the Blue Collar Culture Podcast, we speak with special guest, Scott Novis. Scott is the Founder of GameTruck, a successful franchise operating in over 30 states, and is an advocate for eSports as a means of bringing young adults together to experience a sense of community and enhance their teamwork skills. Scott also has two engineering degrees and has been named on 11 patents. “What a lot of people are seeing in games is that they look more like our economy and our future than traditional sports does. The skills that are transferable from traditional sports to our economy are almost all mental and attitude. I don't need sports to create those conditions, to train you to work together with each other with respect, to include everybody, to be able to participate, to challenge your capability as a person, and to learn how to be your best. I can do it with a video game,” says Scott.We chat about common myths about gaming, as well as:
