How Is It Teaching Kids to Be Better Humans?****With John Brookbank — The Hero’s Quest**What if **Dungeons & Dragons could help prepare kids for the real world?**Today, an entire generation is growing up surrounded by screens, social media, video games, and AI. Kids may be more connected digitally than ever before—but are they losing some of the skills that can only be learned by sitting across from another human being?In this episode of **LEO SAVES THE WORLD — ONE PODCAST AT A TIME**, I sit down with **John Brookbank**, founder of **The Hero’s Quest**, to explore how Dungeons & Dragons can become much more than a fantasy game.Around a D&D table, kids have to **talk, listen, cooperate, negotiate, make decisions, solve problems, take risks, experience failure, lead, follow, use their imagination, and understand other people's perspectives**—all without hiding behind a screen.John describes The Hero’s Quest as a **360-degree wellness program**, using role-playing and collaborative storytelling to encourage communication, teamwork, leadership, empathy, critical thinking, resilience, grit, reading, public speaking, mental math, extended focus, creative problem-solving, and impulse control.We talk about why learning to fail may be just as important as learning to succeed, how playing another character can develop empathy, why kids can remain engaged around a table for hours without a screen, and whether schools should spend more time teaching social intelligence alongside traditional academics.We also explore a bigger question for the future: **In a world where artificial intelligence can increasingly give us answers, could distinctly human abilities—imagination, creativity, empathy, communication, and collaboration—become more valuable than ever?**And ultimately, we ask the question at the heart of this episode:**Can a fantasy game actually teach kids how to become better humans?**⚔️ **Learn more about The Hero’s Quest:**THQnow.com🎙️ **LEO SAVES THE WORLD — ONE PODCAST AT A TIME**#DungeonsAndDragons #DnD #TheHerosQuest #Parenting #Education #Kids #SocialSkills #Leadership #Empathy #MentalHealth #CriticalThinking #Creativity #Communication #Podcast

    EP 014: The Problem of the Stolen Community!

    What happened to real community?In this episode of Leo Saves the World One Podcast at a Time, I sit down with Jarett Tanner for a deep conversation about one of the biggest problems of modern life: the loss of true human connection.We live in a world where everyone is more “connected” than ever through phones, social media, and technology — but at the same time, many people feel more alone, divided, and disconnected than ever before.So the question is:Did we simply lose community… or was it stolen from us?Together, we explore how family, neighborhoods, friendship, trust, faith, local culture, and real human relationships have changed over time. We talk about why people feel isolated, why society feels more divided, and what happens when humans stop gathering, talking, helping each other, and building something together.This episode is about more than nostalgia.It is about understanding what community really means — and how we can rebuild it.Can we bring people back together?Can we restore trust?Can we create stronger neighborhoods, stronger families, and stronger human connections?A powerful conversation about loneliness, society, technology, culture, and the fight to bring real community back.Watch, listen, and join the conversation.LEO SAVES THE WORLD ONE PODCAST AT A TIME#Community #Podcast #LeoSavesTheWorld #HumanConnection #Society #Loneliness #Technology #Culture #Friendship #Family #ModernLife #DeepConversation

    EP 012 – Making Movie Magic at 12 and 16. The Future of Cinema Starts Young

    In this episode of Leo Saves the World One Podcast at a Time, I sit down with two very special young guests from my movie The Marvelous Minu: Sophia, who played Minu, and Michael, who worked as the sound recorder on set.Sophia was only 12 years old when she stepped in front of the camera as a first-time actress, bringing Minu to life with courage, imagination, and heart. We talk about what it felt like to act in a real movie for the first time, the excitement and fear of being on set, the funniest moments during filming, and whether this experience made her want to act again.Michael was only 15 years old when he took on one of the most important jobs on a film set: recording sound. We talk about what he learned, the pressure of making sure every scene sounded right, the challenges of real movie equipment, and why sound is one of the most underrated parts of filmmaking.This episode is about youth, creativity, courage, teamwork, and the magic that happens when young people are given the chance to be part of cinema. Sometimes the future of filmmaking does not begin in Hollywood — it begins with a first movie, a first role, a first microphone, and the courage to try.Guest:Sophia – Actress, Minu in The Marvelous MinuMichael – Sound Recorder, The Marvelous MinuWatch, like, comment, and subscribe for more conversations about movies, creativity, life, and the future of storytelling.

    EP 011 - Religion and the War Between Good and Evil !

    Guest: Hayden SchaapContact: ⁠h@schaapstudios.com⁠ In this episode, I sit down with Hayden Schaap for a deep conversation about one of the oldest and most powerful questions in human history: the battle between good and evil. From religion and morality to angels, demons, guilt, forgiveness, redemption, and the human heart, we explore how different faiths understand the forces of light and darkness — and why this struggle appears in almost every culture and spiritual tradition. Can morality exist without religion? Is evil something external, like demons and negative energies, or is it born inside us? Has modern society lost touch with the concept of sin? And in a world shaped by technology, social media, polarization, and cultural manipulation, what does the fight between good and evil look like today? This conversation is not only about religion. It is about humanity, conscience, temptation, forgiveness, and hope. It is about how personal struggles can reflect a larger spiritual battle, and how faith, prayer, meditation, and self-awareness can help us confront the darkness within and around us. Whether you are religious, spiritual, skeptical, or simply curious, this episode invites you to think deeply about what it means to choose good in a complicated world. Let’s talk about religion, morality, angels, demons… and the human heart. Leo Saves The World, One Podcast at a Time.

    EP 009 – What Acting Reveals About You - Carter Philpot & Paris Bond

    In this episode, I sit down with Carter Philpot and Paris Bond to explore something deeper than acting itself… what acting actually reveals about who you are. We go beyond technique, auditions, and performances — and dive into the psychology behind stepping into someone else’s skin. What happens when you strip away your filters? When you’re forced to feel, react, and be present in a way that real life often doesn’t demand? Carter and Paris share their personal experiences in front of the camera — the vulnerability, the pressure, the unexpected self-discovery — and how acting becomes less about pretending… and more about uncovering truth. This conversation is about identity, emotions, and the hidden layers we all carry. Whether you’re an actor, a creative, or just someone curious about human behavior, this episode will make you think about yourself in a completely different way. What does acting reveal about you?
