Muhammad Lila is Founder and CEO of Goodable. He is also previously a Warzone Correspondent, leading global news coverage at CNN and ABC. He has been nominated for 2 Emmy awards.
Today’s discussion is around Muhammad’s vision for fixing the news by changing it from one of the biggest drivers of anxiety and depression into a cure.
This discussion includes topics like how and why more than 90% of news coverage is negative, what this does to our mental health, and how the current news environment would be the equivalent to our physical health of living in a town where McDonald’s was the only restaurant option.
Goodable’s mission is to change this by offering the first “Whole Foods” alternative to the current fast-food-dominated news ecosystem. It’s a news platform designed to make you calmer and healthier by avoiding bias, politics, and negativity.
Muhammad has a fascinating, ambitious underlying vision for this that we dig into in our conversation. We also discuss some powerful ideas about the news media’s place in our society and mental health.
