Finding yourself through with social media with Taylor Lorenz

Aba is back to host this fun episode with Taylor Lorenz. Aba is part of the team at Product Hunt and the author of Dream Big, Hustle Hard: The Millennial Woman's Guide to Success in Tech.

Taylor Lorenz is a staff writer at The Atlantic, where she covers technology and culture. We love the way she always finds a way to be entertaining while stirring up thought-provoking debate. She's also an all-around social media superstar.

In this episode we talk about:

* The origins of her obsession with the web and social media, and why people always seem to be nostalgic for the internet as it was when they first discovered it.

* Why deeming tech either universally good or universally bad is a false dichotomy and the need for a more nuanced discussion around the topic.

* Her obsession with horror movies and the psychology of horror, and why she would never want to live on Mars.

We also discuss some of Taylor's favorite products including “Netflix for horror movies,” one of her favorite mobile community apps, and how she uses Google Maps to discover some of the best places and events near her.
