| 0:11.2 | Coming up next on Passionstruck. It's a problem that youngsters are using social media so heavily. |
| 0:17.0 | What I'm worried about is that, as you say, if it's just the straw that broke the camel's back, |
| 0:21.2 | and if it's not the whole problem, people are going to expect big returns on these changes. And I think we're going to see small returns on these changes. I think that they'll make a difference. I think that there's a host of reasons why I think phones are bad ideas. In my book, I talk about how we become lazy in our social habits because it's so easy to get on social media and so difficult to go across town to get together with our friends. But in fact, going across town to get together with their friends is the most important thing we can do. And we don't understand our own desire sometimes. And so we do the lazy, easy, less satisfying thing. Welcome to Passion Struck. Hi, I'm your host, John R. Miles, and on the show, we decipher the secrets, tips, |
| 0:58.1 | and guidance of the world's most inspiring people and turned their wisdom into practical advice |
| 1:03.8 | for you and those around you. |
| 1:06.0 | Our mission is to help you unlock the power of intentionality so that you can become the best version of yourself. |
| 1:13.4 | If you're new to the show, I offer advice and answer listener questions on Fridays. |
| 1:18.1 | We have long-form interviews the rest of the week with guests ranging from astronauts to authors, |
| 1:24.5 | CEOs, creators, innovators, scientists, military leaders, visionaries, and athletes. |
| 1:30.9 | Now, let's go out there and become Passionstruck. |
| 1:34.3 | Episode 665 of Passion Struct is here, and I am so glad you've joined us. |
| 1:39.8 | Whether you're a longtime listener or brand new, welcome. |
| 1:43.0 | Over a third of you come back week after week, |
| 1:45.2 | which tells me passion struck isn't just a podcast. It's becoming a global movement. Together, |
| 1:51.1 | we are passing the ripple of matter and farther than we ever imagined. If this show has helped |
| 1:56.1 | you see yourself more clearly or take one small step toward healing. Here's how you can help keep it |
| 2:01.8 | growing. First, share the episode with someone who needs to hear it. Second, leave a five-star rating |
| 2:07.2 | or review on Apple or Spotify. That small act tells the algorithm that these stories matter and helps |
| 2:13.5 | more people find them. Lastly, I have some exciting news. I am working on something that will take passion struck beyond the podcast, |
| 2:21.0 | giving you new ways to engage with these ideas, apply them, and spread them into your communities. |
