He is currently based in Brooklyn NYC, where he works as psychotherapist at Brooklyn Center for Families in Crisis.
Marcus recently invited me to present in his Wellness x Web3 series and I knew I had to get him on the podcast to dive deeper into some of the topics.
Marcus and I dive into:
- How and why everyone should get involved with the advent of new technology (like Web3)
- Why technology isn't inherently evil
- The benefits of how technology and social media allows reflection
- Powerful questions to ask when using technology
- A simple check-in process you can use today
