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
