Join us for a thought-provoking fireside interview between Katherine Hou, author of the forthcoming book "War for the Mind," and Cynthia Cunningham, venture cafe cambridge's resident Program Experience Coordinator and change-maker. Reshape the way you think in this transformative session that goes deep into the trenches of the psychological battlefield created by addictive technologies, scams, and the obscured geopolitical forces that silently shape our digital world, as explored in Katherine's work. 

Drawing on her background as a financial investigator and firsthand experience at the Special Counsel's Office under Robert Mueller III investigating Russian digital influence, Katherine will provide practical psychological defense weapons and armor empowering you to navigate these complex issues and regain agency. Together, Cynthia and Katherine will put the power back into your hands with strategies to uncover unhealthy media influence and to reclaim control over our minds in the midst of this digital barrage.

The interview will last approximately 45 minutes and will be followed by a Q&A session where you can engage with Katherine and Cynthia using our new session chat feature.
