  • Podcast Hiatus Update + SXSW EDU Talk with Armel Talla
    May 18 2022

    Yo! What is up everyone, it has been a MINUTE since we released an episode! A couple of updates below:

    1. This is a different type of episode as this is a talk that Justin Nguyen (your host) and Armel Talla did at SXSW EDU earlier this year. It's all about the student perspective and how higher educational institutions can work on engaging their students using social media.


    2. We are looking for a new host of the podcast! No real requirements other than being a people person and you're currently in college! If you're interested, please email Justin at justin@declassifiedmedia.co (Don't worry, we handle all of the editing!)


    3. We are looking to expand Declassified Media's social media presence with the launch of 2 more pages. @declassifiedcompsci and @declassifiedfinance. If you're interested, please email Justin at justin@declassifiedmedia.co


    There aren't any requirements to the pages other than being technical major (for @declassifiedcompsci) and a finance major (@declassifiedfinance) and being a people person who is open to being on camera! This would be a trial period and if you're a fit with the team a paid position to be a content creator! (Don't worry, we would handle all of the editing!)

    Oct 7 2021

    Check out our job board with 60+ jobs!


    We aren't licensed psychologists... but Nathaan is!


    Nathaan has been one of my favorite guests because he understands the issues from a clinical perspective, but can explain it in a way you and I can understand. Nathaan has found a way to combine his passion for psychology and mental health with technology, an area which we believe will only continue to grow.


    Resources that Nathaan listed:


    American Psychological Association

    Mental Health America
