Building Community and Mental Wellness with Live Reality Games

In this inspiring conversation, we sit down with Jesus, host of the San Diego Challenge - a fan-made live reality game inspired by shows like Survivor, The Amazing Race, and MTV’s The Challenge. We explore the importance of social connection and how immersive, cooperative competitions like The San Diego Challenge can build community and promote mental wellbeing. Jesus opens up about his personal experiences with depression, addiction, and ADHD, and shares how creativity, vulnerability, and intentional community building helped him create a fulfilling and meaningful life for himself and others. Learn more about the San Diego Challenge on Instagram: @thesdchallenge To support our work, find us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or visit our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Music Credit: Nathan Byrne with Reel Byrne Media. Note: The information in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical/therapeutic advice.
