“The power is in your pocket (your phone) to change the world.” In this episode, we discuss Paul's story from being put into ‘care' by the council as a teen which was actually just a B&B, to benefitting from youth work and then becoming a youth worker and going on to create Trylife, which has made a difference to so many disadvantaged young people. We discuss the co-production process, working with professionals and young people to create the most complex interactive film ever made, gaining 7 million Facebook followers, future plans and the deep work Paul has done during the pandemic to address his own mental health.   “TryLife interactive film series... You Make The Choices... You Live With The Consequences... You TryLife...” Paul Irwin, founder of TryLife. Paul Irwin has a background in working with disadvantaged young people from around the world. He created an interactive film series “TryLife” aimed at educating young people about the consequences of their actions. If you remember the old choice-based adventure books, TryLife is an interactive digital video version of those books, tackling real issues facing young people: Episode 1 – drugs, alcohol and sexual health Episode 2 – knife crime and gang violence Episode 3 - mental health and suicide Episode 4 – child sexual exploitation and grooming Episode 5 – isolation and loneliness Episode 6 – continuing on from episode 5, characters coming out of Covid lockdown Episode 7 – teenage pregnancy and perinatal mental health. Paul's talent at creating and curating content has also seen incredible success in social media. He has amassed a huge following via TryLife, reaching up to 188,000,000 people per week. In one month, TryLife managed to reach 65% of all Facebook users in the USA with no marketing or advertising spend and using just one mobile phone. Paul was the very first winner of the HRH Pitch at the Palace awards which is arguably the UK's most prestigious competition for tech startups. Most recently, he started developing an interactive film with the heads of the Bloods, Crips and Mexican Mafia in South Central Los Angeles with the support of Facebook and the producer of Bladerunner.   For episode notes, links and other episodes, please visit https://www.kedaconsulting.co.uk/charity-impact-podcast/    If you enjoy the podcast, please do follow us and leave a rating / review.  If you have any questions, feedback or enquiries regarding the podcast, you can e-mail me at hello@kedaconsulting.co.uk or tweet @alexblake_KEDA   This Podcast is brought to you by KEDA Consulting, where I help charities to develop strategy, secure funding and navigate a range of challenges and opportunities.    The purpose of the Charity Impact podcast is to learn more about how effective charities and individuals achieve social change or social impact.

"Rather than having someone burn the finger and think "I'm not going to do that again", can we actually bring about an emotional response in a young person's mind using all of the tools of media?" - Paul Irwin Think back to your youth, to some memorable choices you made. If you're like the majority of people, your teen years were notably ripe with tricky situations. Situations in which the stakes were high, emotions were high, and tough decisions came at you from all sides. Yet what if there was a way to make youthful mistakes without risking such serious consequences? That question lies at the heart of TryLife, and interactive drama that blends the power of media, game theory, and the principles of behavior change. TryLife was designed by some of the best people from the creative, youth, education and health care industries in which the story is molded and shaped by the user. Like the Choose Your Own Adventure books popular in the '80s and '90s, Trylife places users at the center of the story and relies on their decisions to chart the course of the narrative. Authentic and hard-hitting, the plot routes are based on probability using real stats and data.  In this episode, TryLife creator Paul Irwin discusses TryLife's approach to behavior change and its wild success since its inception. Don't let the conversation end here. Discuss this episode on social media using #ReQPod18.

Paul Irwin talks about his award-winning project TryLife: an interactive drama to help young people safely experiment with life and make better decisions. Now in its 3rd season, TryLife addresses problems of drugs, sex and violence. Paul discusses the process of funding, writing, casting and filming the interactive movie in such a way that it stays authentic to its audience while meeting the needs of the funders – municipal health authorities more used to public health announcements. ---Paul is the creator and director of the interactive drama TryLife.. @PaulRIrwin 

Paul Irwin discusses his project TryLife - an interactive video series built for, with and from teen participation, live events and community outreach. http://www.trylife.tv/
