Why and How to Stay Off Social Media From a Man Who Helped Build It: Tim Kendall (Former President of Pinterest, Former Director of Monetization @ Facebook, and Current CEO of Moment)(Ep. 25)

Many people wonder how bad social media really is for us. Dr. Adam Alter, a previous guest of ours (Ep. 18), was one of those people. However, tech experts have also been asking those questions. As the engagingness of Facebook grew and its negative effects were more pronounced, people like Tim Kendall, former president of Pinterest, former director of monetization at Facebook, and current CEO of Moment, began to wonder how good of a thing it really was. In a recent Netflix documentary called, "The Social Dilemma," that brought together tech experts to give their take on the current climate, the guests stated that our situation isn't good (to put it mildly.) However, social media isn't entirely bad. It has helped us stay connected during the pandemic. Problems come when we become addicted to it. That is where Mr. Kendall's company, Moment, comes in. It tracks your time on your phone and shows you what you have been spending a lot of your time on. Join us today as we discuss social media's impact on people from an insider's perspective while also learning some new tricks to stay off your phone.
