My feeble attempts to answer the answerable led to another question. Have we ever really cared about other people’s children?
*This is an audio reading of Adrian's blog post, "Why Didn't God Protect Them?"

After spending 30 days on digital detox away from social media, Adrian returns to share his reflections and revelations with Daryl. They discuss how their marketing careers were focused on using and investing in social media businesses without much thought for the impact on consumers.
