]]> Dr. Samantha Marsh: A Conversation On The Risks Of Social Media. Richie Hardcore 00:54:07 I talked with Dr. Samantha Marsh from the University of Auckland. We discussed the B416 campaign, which advocates for the New Zealand government to enact legislation requiring social media agencies to implement age verification on their platforms. We discussed her research, social media, its risks and harms for young people, and what she believes needs to be done to address it. Her research focuses on child and youth health and well-being and how stressful home environments and the parent-child relationship can impact health-related decisions, particularly in the context of risk and uncertainty. In 2023, Samantha joined the Department of General Practice and Primary Health Care, where she works closely with the Immunisation Advisory Centre (IMAC). Samanth also undertakes research and advocates for the safe use of technology in youth, focusing on the impact of social media on youth mental health.

Aaron Tau is a pro-MMA fighter, with a  background in Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing and Kickboxing.  He fights out of UFC star Dan Hooker's Combat Academy, in Auckland New Zealand. 

We had a really deep conversation about Aaron's life. Aaron was very open and intimate about the experiences that shaped him growing up, and how he became who he is today.  Aaron grew up with a life rich in Maoritanga (traditional culture and way of life) in a  rural community.

He experienced extreme hardship and adversity within his family. However, he's not let the hand he was dealt, he says, define who he is, and he speaks about his philosophies of forgiveness, compassionate and unconditional love that underpin his way of life. 

This was one of the best conversations I've ever had the privilege to have, and I'm sure everyone will get a lot from it. 

Thank you Aaron!
