When you build your life around being seen, what happens when the spotlight fades?
Hosts Danah and Stacy Gutierrez sit down with Lex Ledesma — entrepreneur, professor, and doctor of psychology — for an unfiltered conversation about ego, identity, and the illusion of connection in the digital age.
Lex shares his personal journey through existential searching, success, and surrender — from thriving in business and academia to realizing that fulfillment doesn’t come from status or screens, but from submission to something greater.
Together, they unpack:
* The spiritual cost of fame and validation
* Why social media is designed to hurt, not heal
* How to set digital boundaries and protect your soul
* The danger of self-harm as social contagion
* Why your quiet time might save your mental health
“If I am forgotten, my source is remembered.
If I am remembered, my source is forgotten.” — Lex Ledesma
