Ep136 - SOCIAL MEDIA IS MAKING YOU WEAK
In this punchy and honest episode, Jay and Dan tackle the creeping issue of how social media might be making you mentally and emotionally weak—even if you're hitting PBs in the gym. They explore how overconsumption of social media leads to anxiety, comparison, procrastination, and false narratives about success and happiness.
Jay shares personal reflections on life without alcohol, late-night scrolling habits, and why "being a creator, not a consumer" is a mantra to live by.
Dan dives into the psychological hooks used by negative marketing, the art of "wasting time well," and how he's learned to time-block his scrolls for sanity and productivity.
Together, they call out the curated nature of online content, the dangers of constant distraction, and offer practical tactics to reclaim your attention and happiness.
