Why Human Potential in a Digital Age Starts With Teaching Kids Tech Wisdom (Sara Filipcic)

Sara Filipcic works on human potential through Be Human(e), a Techstars backed venture focused on youth mental health and healthier digital habits.

In this episode, we explore how human potential is shaped by screen time, emotional intelligence, and the way parents introduce technology to their kids. We talk about teen mental health, social isolation, digital parenting, and why purposeful technology use matters if we want human potential to grow alongside innovation. We also touch consciousness, inner work, meditation, and founder emotional intelligence as part of building technology without losing our humanity.

Who This Episode Is For:

• Parents raising kids in a screen saturated world
• Founders thinking deeply about technology and human development
• Educators supporting teen mental health and social skills
