Summary

This week's episode is a must. Leah's guest is Sean Clifford, CEO of Canopy, father of four, and man of many degrees. Sean founded Canopy in 2019 to help build a world of healthy tech users, starting by protecting children from pornography.

Leah and Sean talk about the impact of COVID on internet usage and the paradoxical need for devices and their dangers. They also talk about brain development in children and saving them as long as possible from harmful images, and how to rewrite the parenting playbook in a way that helps form kids to face the future with confidence and competence.

Thankfully, Sean tells us how exactly Canopy works to filter toxic content on devices (this is where Leah gets her mind blown).

Step 1: Visit canopy.us/LEAH to sign up! Use code LEAH for 15% off!
Step 2: Create a profile for yourself and/or your family.
Step 3: Install Canopy on the smartphones and devices you want.
Step 4: Customize your settings - filtering, alerts, etc.
Step 5: Use your devices as normal! Canopy will work quietly in the background!

Challenge from Sean:
1 - Set guardrails for yourself. Set the example you want your kids to follow about phone usage.
2- Know how much you matter to your kids and take advantage of those opportunities. Create opportunities for deep and meaningful conversation with your kids.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Do Something Beautiful Podcast. I am your host, Leah Darrow, and I share with you
0:06.8	inspirational people who are truly doing something beautiful to make our world better. We are inspired by
0:12.6	Mother Teresa who said, do something beautiful for God. Do it with your life. Do it every day. Do it in
0:18.6	your own way. But do it. All right. Welcome to the Do Something Beautiful Podcast. I am your host,
0:28.9	Leah Darrow. And today we get to talk with a great guy. His name is Sean. And let me tell you
0:34.6	something a little bit about Sean. Before we get in, Sean Clifford, he is the CEO of Canopy. We'll
0:42.3	get into that later on what that is. But he's also the father of four young children. They're all
0:47.2	running outside his window right now. It's pretty fun. Sean aspires to build products that give
0:52.2	families the good of the internet without the bad. So I don't know about you, but that sounds very
0:56.2	interesting to me. I want to hear more about that. Sean founded Canopy. If you don't know about

1:34.8	from Williams College and Masters in great books from St. John's College. And in MBA, just he's
1:40.3	a total underachiever here. MBA from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. Sean and his wife
1:44.9	and their four kids live in Austin, Texas. I was just there yesterday, Sean. And they enjoy exploring
1:50.7	local trails and relaxing on tech-free Saturdays. Do you have a tech-free Saturday? Well, Sean does.
1:56.2	Maybe you can help us do that as well. So Sean, welcome to the podcast.
