How Video Game Addictions Are Destroying Today's Men | Cam Adair

Cam Adair is a former video game addict who has made it a life mission of his to provide education and resources to help those struggling with gaming addictions.

One of the ways he does this is by teaching video game addicts - who are predominantly male - to take the passion and purpose they have for gaming and translate it into real world purpose and conquest.

Cam has been featured on multiple TEDx Talks. He is the Founder of Game Quitters, the world's largest support community for gaming addicts. His work has been published in a number of well known publications, and he also travels the world speaking on the problems of gaming addictions and how to overcome them.

This is an issue that affects us as individual men and as fathers of children relying on us to guide and protect them. Video game addiction isn't just a danger for us. It's a danger to our children that we need to be intentional about proactively strategizing to prevent within our homes.

In today's discussion, Cam paints the problem of video game addiction in vivid detail, while also providing practical ways we can work to ensure it doesn't gain a foothold in our lives (or in the lives of our children).
