GYE podcast?

Can we make the Heilige Letter ( or a censored version) be a pop-up advertisement on places like  thelakewoodscoop, instead of the generic GYE ad? That way we can skip the rabbi and go straight to the fellow who needs it.
I know that if I would have seen  to see the letter years ago it would have propelled me to check it out.

I like this idea. There was that one headlines episode. What if we get someone on Meaningful People or whatever it is people listen to? Not a founder - a guy who suffered and got clean. 
Would have to be done anonymously probably so tough to do.

It can be schmoozez with Rabonim, community leaders, therapists and the like, talking about statistics and stigmas, just to bring awareness to the topic. No need to get actual users involved.

This has all been done. What we need is for people to share the solution. And that can be done by nobody better than you!

I love this idea. If only I could do THAT. Problem is, I got kids to marry off...

They do have electronic voice changers
You dont need to get your identity out there . Maybe just your user name?

Go ahead send them an Email
meaningfulminute.org/contact-us/

Before you back out

I just sent meaningful people a message, let's see where this goes

LOL I was about to as well 
I just couldnt remember the password to my email redfaced @ gmail

I was thinking more of a constant thing, like a self standing podcast with bi weekly or whatever episodes, but i do understand that something like that costs a ton of money and time.

Besides for the money itll be very hard to build up an audience, The goal is to get more people onto GYE not be a podcast for the people already here

And a podcast only raises awareness if people listen to it... Starting a new one is unlikely to get anywhere. 

What about an anonymous interview with Rabbi YY Jacobson discussing this and seeing if he would recommend that Rabbonim help increase awareness and participation in GYE?

I think that GYE is doing a good job advertising. What we need to do is talk to the Rabbanim who give us advice, and if you are in chinuch, to your colleagues when an issue comes up with someone who is struggling, and share with them inside information about GYE, and  also send people who we know in the real world that are struggling to GYE. We can say that we have someone we know on GYE and we don't have to admit that we ourselves are there unless we feel comfortable doing so. I shared with the Rav of my shul who is also my close friend about my experience on GYE and I sent a friend of mine who was struggling with P to GYE. If you can share your personal experience on GYE with your Rabbanim it would probably have a very strong impact.
