Ed Ruda, industrial psychologist, coach to top executives at major companies (think McDonald’s-, Lockheed Martin-, and Pfizer-sized companies), and also my father-in-law joined me for an episode of Beyond Social, during which we debated the risks and opportunities of social media, and whether social media is going to make people worse at interpersonal relationships.
