Summary

Jennifer Siebel Newsom is the First Partner of California, an award-winning filmmaker, advocate, and founder of the California Partners Project. She has spent years exploring how media, culture, gender norms, and systems shape the lives of women, children, and families. In this episode, Jennifer joins Marlon for a conversation about youth mental health, social media, parenting, boys and masculinity, and what it takes to build a culture where kids feel more connected, supported, and protected. They talk about the power of media to shape cultural values, the dangers of addictive technology and AI chatbots, California's investments in children's mental health, and how parents, educators, coaches, and communities can help young people find purpose, belonging, and healthier models of strength.
