Unmotive Show Questist

Welcome to the last episode in this season’s content about culture from the lens of technology. We talked with coaches, entrepreneurial-minded folks, and a few people whose profession gave them good insight into the matter. There is an overlap between mental health and culture. Changes in society have started a larger discussion about mental health. In today's episode, we’ll discuss struggles with mental health and some ways anyone can get involved in their well-being. I also want to add a disclaimer: If you are struggling with mental health problems, it’s best to seek help from a trained professional. We’ll talk about both mental health and mental wellness, for our viewers to get a clear understanding of what the two methods of increasing one’s wellbeing can do for them. All with some commentary from our previous guests. I hope this episode gave you an idea of where to start with your well-being. Also, I hope if you struggle with any sort of mental issues, seeking help will be easier. Today, there’s much less stigma surrounding mental health issues. I am planning for the third season to be released soon. Those of you who listened to the end of the podcast may have heard in the conclusion that I would be releasing YouTube videos weekly. That didn’t happen in the past, but in the future there's hope. I’m getting the creative juices flowing and want to bring that vision to life in 2024. So look out for season 3 and also keep an eye on YouTube for some digs.

What's up and welcome to the season 2 finale, episode one. This episode will be about things that don’t quite add up in the digital world. Computers and the internet are layered into our lives like a cake. So the question we’ll pose today is about spending a lot of time on the internet while staying mentally and physically healthy. How do we keep our mental wellbeing in good standing?
You’ve heard we all spend too much time on our phones. There are features built into phones now like OnePlus Zen mode that lock the phone for a short period to ensure your undivided attention to other things. In the same vein, we could say that our time on the internet is also like our time at work or doing busy work. 
Out with the old in with the new is the consensus, but on the internet, the new is usually more of what we are already interested in or have on our minds. I hope that the season finale episode helps you build a healthy routine for your computer use, and learn to enjoy it more.
 

This episode is about Video Games - bang, boom, pop. Trevor Alexander is a dad, podcaster, and avid gamer. His podcast New Dad Gaming brings all three of those things together. We start with the goods - our favorite video games. Trevor’s favorite game is Starfield which is a space game by Bethesda the makers of Fallout (a new television series coming soon) and Elder Scrolls. Starfield has looting, RPG elements, mythic elements, FPS elements, and Base-building elements. It’s a huge game! and he still isn’t through it yet. Trevor just started streaming on Twitch, and he’s seen people who are competitive gamers be successful and also channels from people who bring their twist to gaming entertainment. They have a good commentary on the games but aren’t necessarily great at the gaming. We also talk about growing up gaming, and how making money from video gaming is becoming more viable as a career.

We’re wrapping up the third season soon, with only two more episodes left till the season finale. In this episode, we’re speaking with Joe Marotta who is a cinematographer and video marketing business owner. He runs Ascended Entertainment, a direct marketing company that does film production, video production, ad marketing, and some casting services. Direct Response Marketing are videos that compel customers to buy a product. For example, YouTube video ads are direct response marketing. This is because the customers usually don’t know the brand completely, so his job is to make videos that scream: here’s the product, here’s why you need it, here’s how it will make your life better - buy it.

On the podcast we talked about the various methods of delivery of porn to the populace. We gloss over the various mediums like Only Fans and the fact that during the pandemic many people who worked in industries that were upset moved to Only Fans to make money. People like waiters, hostesses, and waiters - both male and female - turned to Only Fans and other mediums of porn on the internet. Some would call it dangerous to have such access to porn readily available and some people are more susceptible to becoming a porn addict. So, we talk about what a porn addict is, and how it can affect a person's life. There is also the other side of minors getting involved in watching porn so we talk about various tactics parents can use to keep their children from watching porn.

It is pivotal for couples to have conversations regarding finances without anyone feeling offended and that is one of the subjects we discuss. Beyond this, having a conversation with ourselves about our own expenses also plays a significant role in deciding on which expenses are necessities, before having the conversation with our partner. All in all this is an episode about being prepared to have tough discussions about finances, mental health and being more present day to day for the people in our lives.
