Connecting in a Digital World with Kash Hovey
Send us Fan Mail Anna from It Starts With Yoo talks with podcaster Kash Hovey (On Air with Kash) about mindful dating and wellness in LA’s dating culture. Kash reflects on how LA changed from the pre-reality TV era, where ambition, name-dropping, and hidden agendas shaped relationships, and discusses how meaningful connections often endure even when people drift apart. They explore how social media and constant access to information affect communication, risk-taking, and the ability to connect, along with concerns about performance, privacy, and fear of being posted online. The conversation touches on cancel culture, Me Too, hypocrisy in entertainment power structures, and examples like Terry Crews and Bill Cosby, emphasizing how narratives shift with podcasts and public scrutiny. Anna shares that her podcast began as personal journaling about commitment issues and trust in big-city dating, and Kash describes the traits he values in a partner. They close with Kash’s social links and Anna’s support and Instagram info. 00:00 Meet The Hosts 00:40 LA Dating Then And Now 01:45 Meaningful Connections 02:55 Social Media And Touch Grass 04:16 Dating Gurus Vs Real Life 05:24 Agendas And Name Dropping 06:39 Male Performance Culture 08:33 Millennial Media Shifts 11:09 Fear Of Being Recorded 15:13 Cancel Culture And MeToo 18:08 Hollywood Hypocrisy Stories 20:39 Power And Hidden Abuse 20:53 Growing Up Fast In LA 21:58 Swingers And Dating Lessons 22:18 Big Shot Dating Fails 23:34 Social Media Anxiety Shift 24:48 LA Dating Effort Problem 25:25 Generations And Marriage Scripts 28:07 Music Then Vs Streaming 29:43 Aging Memory And Tech 31:17 Podcast Origins And Dating Questions 33:28 Options Apps And Ambition 37:02 Settling Down Expectations 40:14 News Narratives And Trust 42:24 Wrap Up And Plugs Follow Anna on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annayyoo/ Follow the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itstartswithyoo/ Follow Anna on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annayyoo/ Follow the show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itstartswithyoo/
