Relate Podcast

"Relate w/ Patrick McAndrew" dissects the most important aspect of our lives that create fulfillment and meaning in the age of technology: deep, meaningful, human relationships. We create a sustainably happy life through the relationships we invest in and the memories we build together for years and years to come. In episode 151 of Relate, we discuss the mental health crisis that our society is facing, especially with teens and young adults. We talk about the lack of enriching activities in our daily lives, our dependence on phones, and why we must develop a tolerance for discomfort to improve our communication and relational skills.

Patrick McAndrew, a professional actor and tech philosopher, hosts this captivating podcast, interviewing top experts in tech, entertainment, and business, gathering their takes on what it truly means to connect and relate to one another.
