Frequently Asked Questions about PWN
These are questions often asked about Piece We Need:
► What is Piece We Need?
Piece We Need (PWN) is a series of 10 short videos. Each video is an animation and visual metaphor, about one aspect of inner strength. They also include comments by the hosts Ari and Joel.
► Who is Joel?
Joel Metzger developed the PWN videos and this website. In the past, I did 3D modeling on computer, which was used to create these animations.
► Why did Joel create PWN?
Because I want to talk about my personal discovery of inner strength. I'm learning about this wealth with the help of a man who helps people find a source of strength and clarity inside themselves. He helps many people around the world discover their inner resources.
However, I am definitely not a spokesman, expert, or representative in any way. Piece We Need is a personal expression about my own experiences. On a worldwide level, this is a time of growing challenges and fear, so I think it is very important to speak about beautiful experiences. My traumas forced me to learn a great deal about inner strength. I want to share about my discoveries.
► How did Joel begin to focus on inner experience?
I started listening to a teacher of inner discovery and learned a daily practice of self-knowledge. This has shown me essential inner experiences.
► How can people find a teacher for themselves?
I suggest finding someone who teaches how to connect with inner experiences of yourself. I'm happy to tell more to anyone who asks. You can find a link on the Credits page.
► Is your practice the only way to learn inner strength?
I do not know. This is the only path I am very familiar with.

► Who is Ari?
Ari is a young friend of mine, and the daughter of a long-time friend. Wouldn't you agree she is great on camera?
► Why is Joel's voice often hard to understand?
I survived a severe head trauma in a 1983 car accident. Even though I work daily to improve it, my voice is still a problem. Please bear with it. Maybe my voice problem is a good reminder that we can all face severe challenges. If my voice is too difficult to understand in places, please let me know and I will rerecord it or add subtitles in the videos. Here is a video about these experiences: Joel's Story

Financial donations are sincerely requested. Creating the animated videos took years of full-time work for me, and many times I chose this over finding paying work. PWN has ongoing expenses (website, online course, and others). There's no limit to the amount that can be spent on promoting and advertising.
