The Measuring Post

In this conversation, Joe Massa interviews Shannon Coulter, the creator of Planet Fassa, discussing the impact of screen dependency on children and the importance of outdoor play. Shannon shares her journey from corporate America to parenting, highlighting the challenges of raising kids in a technology-driven world. She introduces her Fassa Tales series and the Fassa Nuggets of Fun app, designed to encourage imaginative play and reduce screen time. The discussion also covers the addictive nature of technology, the role of parents in managing screen time, and practical tips for fostering healthier relationships with technology. 


What is The Measuring Post?

The Measuring Post is a podcast about growth, not perfection.

It’s a place to pause, reflect, and measure what actually matters in your life, your work, and your personal development. Not by comparing yourself to others, but by comparing who you are today to who you were yesterday.

I'm Joe Massa, and I created this show because I believe growth isn't a solo journey. Each week, you’ll hear thoughtful interviews with incredible guests: entrepreneurs, leaders, creatives, and everyday people doing meaningful work, sharing real experiences, lessons learned, and practical insights you can apply right away. These conversations are designed to help you think differently, grow intentionally, and move forward with clarity.

Alongside the interviews, you’ll also find The Daily Measure, short, bite-sized solo episodes focused on simple words of wisdom and actionable ideas you can use in your daily life. Think of these as quick check-ins to help you stay grounded, focused, and consistent.

This isn’t about hype or shortcuts. It’s about honest conversations, small improvements, and growing together over time.

If you’re someone who values progress, reflection, and becoming a better version of yourself, you’re in the right place.
