Relate w/ Patrick McAndrew

I believe that storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to convey a message. It is through entertainment, whether it be theater, television, or film, that we can capture an audience and lead them to think and reflect about moments and situations from their own life. In this episode of Relate, I talk about my upcoming project, The Startup, and why I believe it is an important way to communicate the real need for digital wellness in the age of technology.

Positivity and positive thinking are often and easily seen as raa-raa fluff that sound nice and pretty, but lack any sort of substance. Despite this negative opinion of positivity and while it's unnatural for us to be positive all of the time, there is something to be said about cultivating positive energy. In this episode, we talk about why positivity is so important and how the energy you bring to a room can make a huge difference in your life and the lives of those around you.

While plenty of companies and institutions preach about the value and importance of imagination, there is little evidence showing that this critical trait is valued as much as they say it is. In episode 184 of the Relate podcast, we do a deep dive into imagination, why it's so crucial to both the corporate and educational systems, and why it must become an embedded asset in company culture instead of simply a poster child.
