Join us for a riveting conversation with Joe Schaeppi, the innovative mind behind Solsten, as we navigate the intersection of artificial intelligence, human psychology, and the transformative power of digital tools. In an era where the line between compelling content and addictive design is increasingly blurred, we dissect the responsibilities and potential of social media. With Joe's expertise in video game development for mental health and cognitive assessments, we weave through personal anecdotes, reflecting on the influence of our parents' diverse career paths and the fusion of user experience design with clinical psychology. As you tune into our latest episode, prepare to engage with thought-provoking insights on the ethical tightrope walked by today's digital creators. We tackle the challenges of designing products that not only captivate but also promote well-being, scrutinizing the implications of gamification and the potent allure of social media metrics. This exchange with Joe Sheppi doesn't shy away from the tough questions: How do we guide the next generation to admire influencers for the right reasons? How does the architecture of digital experiences contribute to our psyche? Discover the nuances of balancing business objectives with the imperative to foster healthy user engagement. Our dialogue transcends the technical, delving into the essence of human potential and the role it plays in wellness. We debunk myths around video games, considering their positive impact on mental health, and share a case study that brings the bio-psycho-social approach to clinical psychology to life. To cap off, we reflect on the lessons learned from scaling a company during a global pandemic. Learn how we're applying psychological insights to not only shape the future of hiring but also to nurture the biopsychosocial health of technology users around the globe. With Joe's wisdom and our shared experiences, this episode is an exploration of the profound connection between technology, human behavior, and the pursuit of a balanced, fulfilling life.
