6 1/2 years ago, when Stephanie and I had our oldest of four kids, Levi, the oldest cliché in the book - seeing the world through your child’s eyes - hit home.
Their curiosity, excitement, sense of adventure and wonder… that innocence.
As they grow older, I have also come to realize how much my kids love to mimic my every action.
As a result, I’ve prioritized two things in my life because I hope they will continue to look up to me.
The first priority I’m committed to is spend time with people who inspire me, who help me learn and grow, and who share my values.
Secondly, I plan to leave this world a better place for my kids and yours.
Appu Suresh meets both of my criteria. He may be one of my newer friends but he’s an inspiration and laser focused on changing the main thing that keeps me up at night - the negative effect social media has on all of us, especially our kids.
It is not partisan or too dramatic to say that democracy is under assault here and around the world. In America, we have overcome crises before, and I believe we can do so again. But social media, with its virulent spreading of misinformation and hate, is a huge, unprecedented factor that makes our current challenge more daunting than ever before.
Democracy rests on foundations of truth and civility. In debating our differences, we must agree on the facts. In seeking reconciliation, we must engender mutual respect. Instead we are living in polarized echo chambers, with social media promoting alternative realities and inciting mutual distrust.
Appu is the brainchild behind Pixstory. Instead of likes/dislikes and other forms of click bait, Pixstory gives users the chance to challenge inaccuracies or abuse and support quality content.
Appu is idealistic but not naive. He knows this is a monumental task. But if not him, who? And if not now, when?
