In this powerful episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt welcome back their friend Mark Weinstein, founder of MeWe, for his second appearance on the show. Mark is a true pioneer in the social networking space, having founded MeWe with the vision of creating a privacy-first, ad-free social media platform that empowers users. While he's no longer at the helm of MeWe, his dedication to revolutionizing how we use social media continues to shape his work.

This time around, we dive deep into Mark's brand-new book, Restoring Our Sanity Online: A Revolutionary Social Framework.

The conversation covers the undeniable damage social media is doing to children and society, but Mark's solutions offer a path forward to reverse these trends. His vision includes reshaping social media into platforms that nourish critical thinking, foster healthy conversations, and prioritize our mental health and privacy.

If you're worried about the direction social media is taking, this conversation is filled with hope, practical solutions, and a vision for a better digital future.
