Unplugging with Purpose: The Art of Being Present

We dive into a profound reflection on how our tools and devices, like smartphones, demand our attention, often at the expense of the intimacy of here and the magic of now.

In this episode, we kick off with what Daniel found in his mailbox on Friday (spoiler alert…it may or may not have had to do with a version of caffeine.)

We then delve into a thought-provoking excerpt from Seth Godin’s blog today, discussing the underlying desires of objects and systems, like smartphones and their 'want' for our attention.

This leads us into a meaningful conversation about being present as parents amidst the constant pull of technology. We share personal reflections on balancing screen time with quality time, and how intentional choices in both our interactions with tech and people shape our lives.

Join us as we navigate these real-world challenges, inspired by thought leaders like Seth Godin and Brene Brown.
