Reset Your Relationship with Your Phone | Joey Odom (EP345)

On today's episode, I spoke with Joey Odom, one of the visionaries behind Aro, a tech company with a refreshing mission, helping us disconnect from our phones to truly connect with each other. Joey, a father of two, opens up about the challenges of parenting in the digital age. He shares a poignant and vulnerable story about missing an important moment with his child because he was glued to his phone. This conversation serves as a powerful reminder to reset our habits and prioritize the people who matter most.
