About this episode

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!

Feels good to be back!

On today’s episode, I’m sharing an experiment that I started back in June. I removed the major social media platforms from my main phone and wanted to see how my behavior changed.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • Why I moved social media off my main phone
  • What comparing myself with others on social media did to my creativity
  • What happened to my behavior during those 30 days?
  • Did I fall victim to the power of social medial algorithms?
  • Will I continue this experiment?

“Having the Darkos describe their journey provided a solace that no sort of debt counseling would ever bring about. Anyways, this show is consistent in the fact that it always delivers gems and enlightens listeners. I’ve shared the podcast with my classmates. Please keep up the great work!”
