Instagram Can Make Anyone Feel Like A Celebrity

I get the sense Instagram has become exceedingly popular because it can turn anyone into a celebrity. Or rather, it possesses all the tools needed to make someone feel like they're living the life of a "celebrity." It's like your very own paparazzi, make-up artist, PR agent and TV show all wrapped in one seductive platform. Today on the Spiritual Spiral Podcast, I talk about this concept of why Instagram has become so popular. I also dive in and talk about a recent episode of the Ezra Klein Show where Ezra sits down and talks with one of my favorite writers, Dave Eggers. Dave doesn't own a smartphone nor does he have wifi. Is he crazy or is he aware that these tech devices, while adding potentially a lot of good to our lives, are merely just powerful distractions. I also talk about Uber and a recent trip to the airport, I give an update on how my book is going and I share some thoughts on The Irishman and Marriage Story, two movies I believe to be mostly boring and overrated. If you enjoy the show, please remember to share it with your friends or head on over to iTunes and write a quick review.
