THE MENTAL BREAKDOWN (Ep. 20)
From Scrolling to Speaking: The Evolution of Social Media
Dr. CD & Ramzey Prentiss

Welcome to the 20th episode of "The Mental Breakdown." Today, I'm thrilled to introduce Ramzey Prentiss as our guest. Our paths first crossed when I appeared on his martial arts podcast, which forms the basis of our connection. As we've both ventured into podcasting independently, it's provided an intriguing topic for discussion.

Beyond our shared interests in podcasting and martial arts, we also find common ground in parenting and homeschooling, among other things. Our conversations often revolve around these themes, offering unique perspectives and insights.

To me, podcasting represents a fresh take on social media. Rather than merely commenting or reposting, it's a more profound way to connect. Living remotely, almost in a jungle, social media remains my bridge to socializing, and I'm not ready to abandon it. While there are downsides to social media – the endless scrolling, occasional outbursts over a post, or the ever-present lure of negativity – I'm not considering a complete social media blackout just yet. In 18 years when I turn 60, I'll will do it most definitely.

However, at this juncture, I view social media more positively. It's an avenue to reach out and converse with those you might not typically engage with or those dear to you but are spoken to infrequently. Many of my podcast guests are individuals I've met at various life stages, and our discussions frequently touch on these relationships.

As with all episodes of "The Mental Breakdown," expect some twists, turns, and tangents in our conversation. I hope you find it engaging. Enjoy, and take care!
