Hello everybody.

Today, I'm doing my very first interview.

I am feeling really nervous to be honest.

I've interviewed people before. I interview people every day. You know, I interview my family, I interview my friends, but this feels different. This is like we're getting into serious podcast territory. And I mean, mean yeah I'm feeling a little intimidated but we are

interviewing an incredible person today we're interviewing Dr. Anna Lemky. She is, you know what, I'm pulling out my paper to read all of the smart things that she's done in her career.

She is the author of Dopamine Nation,

finding balance in the age of indulgence and drug dealer MD. She's a professor

and medical director of addiction medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine.

She's the Program Director of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Fellowship and is also Chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine dual diagnosis

clinic. See I can't even read these words because she's so smart.

She was featured in the Netflix documentary, The Social Delema, incredible documentary documentary please go watch that.

So I'm bringing Dr. Lemky on the show today because I've sort of been obsessed with the sneaky addictions of our

grandparents and parents are warning us about.

Social media, food delivery, porn, gaming, all of the additions that

were sort of in denial of. She describes the time that we're living in now as

the age of indulgence

and I've never heard this time be characterized better. It really is this age of

indulgence where everything is kind of at our fingertips in a way.

In that face value it seems like an incredible amazing thing.

But there are a lot of scary downsides. I'm going to be discussing all of this and more with Dr. Lemky. Let's bring her in.
