Nir Eyal is on a mission to help us all become indistractable.
Technology has done a lot of wonderful things for us over the last decade. Tasks that were once extremely time-consuming or monotonous are now a lot more simple.
On the flip side, we can become extremely distracted by technology and it can keep us from focusing on what matters most. And for me, that’s family.
Nir shares how parents, like me, can control our attention and choose our lives ... while still living with the benefits of technology.

As a parent, this is something I’m working on constantly. But as someone who is quite often "connected", it's difficult to find a balance that works for me as a father, husband, and small business owner.
Author Mark Ostach joins me today to share how we can live with phones, laptops, and all of our other devices and still be present with those we love.

In post-pandemic life, do you feel like you're constantly pressed for time? Lately, we're feeling like time is the new currency.
Nicole and I discuss how trying to do it all has been difficult and unhealthy for us both. We discuss some takeaways on how we're trying to improve.
Part of that improvement is realizing that time, just like money, is a finite resource.

They discuss some takeaways on steps they are trying to improve personally.
