0:00.0	Welcome to the MyBuddyGreen podcast. I'm Jason Wackib, founder and co-CEO of MyBuddyGreen and your host.
0:07.2	Hey everyone, just a heads up that we've got a somewhat different episode for you today.
0:12.6	We're going to discuss some thought-provoking statistics on issues like mental health,
0:17.2	social media, and even dating. Yes, it can be polarizing, but I encourage you to listen with an
0:23.7	open mind. I can say that I walked away with valuable insights that changed my perspective on
0:29.5	the challenges and opportunities we all face in the 21st century. Scott Galloway is a professor
0:36.8	in marketing and NYU Stern School of Business and a serial entrepreneur. He's the best-selling
0:42.0	author of Post-Corona, The Four, and The Algebra of Happiness. He's served on the board of directors
0:48.0	of the New York Times Company, Urban Outfitters, and Berkeley's Hospital of Business. His
0:53.2	PropG and Pivot podcast, No Mercy, No Malice Blog, and PropG YouTube channel reach millions.
1:00.4	And in 2019, he founded Section 4, an online education platform for working professional

1:26.0	So, as I mentioned, my wife and I are big fans of your work. We love your latest book.
1:32.9	And the book has 100 thought-provoking charts and data points covering everything from
1:38.4	business, social issues, relationships, technology, and health. And I'm going to start with one
1:44.5	that really stood out to me. It was on water safety. And you say, in 2019, the EPA Administrator,
1:51.4	Andrew Wheeler, bragged that 92% of water in America was safe, which you point out,
1:58.3	leaves us with 8%, that is not safe, which means that 26 million Americans would be at risk.
2:04.1	And to put this more in perspective, I love how you give context here. 97% of Americans have
2:11.4	cell phones. So, more Americans have cell phones than clean water. So, what does it say about us?
